IELTS Writing Test P2 - life expectancy

Life expectancy is increasing in the developed countries which is really an exciting and encouraging fact. Longer lives may bring us more happiness and time with our beloved family. However, on the other hand, some problems can also be caused because of the extended lives. Nowadays, the medical technology has been rapidly advanced compared to decades ago which means lower death rate both for newborns and elder people. So we should see an expansion in population of the young generation and old people. But the reality is, in most developed countries, the proportion of young people actually dropped in the recent decades as fewer people are willing to raise babies these days. Thus, the proportion of the elder people rises while the proportion of the young people drops which will finally result in aging population. With more elder people than the society can actually bear, a lot of problems will start to appear. Firstly, their welfare system will suffer as those countries are going to tak

IELTS Writing Test P2 - Video Games

People always argue about the pros and cons of video games. I believe that sometimes playing video games has more positive effects on the user. Nowadays video games have become more and more popular especially among younger generations. They can be played on a variety of platforms like mobiles, computers, PSPs or even smart watches. Playing video games is an efficient way to kill time. For example, when on the train to work or school, a lot of people tend to play video games instead of reading a book or watch a video. And some video games are well designed to encourage imagination and creativity as they usually have fantastic stories, special effects and amazing 3D game scene to extend our feelings into the virtual world.

But playing video games for too much time may cause the problem of addiction which I think is the biggest drawback of

IELTS Writing Test P2 - Music

It's true that there are a wide variety of music in the world nowadays. We need music because of a range of reasons. And I think both traditional and modern international music play an important role. People love music not only just for fun but also because it can always affect us both emotionally and physically. Modern science has proved that different music can boost our performance in different environment. For example, when we go jogging, some cheerful music can cheer us up and help us run farther. Another example is that a slow and quiet lullaby make babies go to sleep. In my opinion, both traditional and international music are important. We all know that traditional music is more classic and elegant which a lot of people enjoy it like tasting some wonderful old wine. Culture and history are expressed by its melody and rhythm. But sometimes traditional music is a little boring especially for the young people who expect something more exciting, which is why I think internati

IELTS Speaking Test Topic - About Kit Harington

Kit Harington first rose to fame as Jon Snow on the super popular HBO TV series 'Game of Thrones'. He successfully portrayed the character of the Winter Fell Lord - Ned Stark's bastard son who joined the Night Watch afterward. There are two interesting facts about Kit Harington's real life. The first one is that his first name Kit is actually a nick name. According to CNN, when he first went to school and told his teacher about his first name, the teacher said "That's not your name. Your name is Christopher!" The second interesting fact is Kit Harington married an actress named Rose Leslie who also appeared in 'Game of Thrones' as Jon Snow's love interest Ygritte - the red hair wild woman. I believe that Kit Harington is not only a successful actor but also a benevolent person. He is the ambassador of The Royal Mencap Society, a leading organization in UK focussed in helping people with learning disabilities.
