BAND 9 SAMPLE EXAMPLES

Some people believe that technology has made man more social. To what extent do you
agree or disagree with this opinion?

For example, recent scientific research by the UK government demonstrated that 90% of people
in their 30s spend over 20 hours per week on Messenger and similar applications to chat with
their friends instead of meeting up and spending quality time together or doing sport. As a
result,………..

In some countries, the number of shootings increase because many people have guns at
home. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give specific reasons and examples to
support your answer

For example, the US Department of Justice recently revealed statistics showing that 150
American children and teenagers die each year because of accidents relating to household
guns. Therefore ………….

Advances in health and biology and other areas of society in the last 100 years have
transformed the way we live as well as postponing the day we die. There is no better time
to be alive than now. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

For example, consider an operation in France several years ago whereby a woman received a
complete face transplant. This would be unthinkable in 1910, therefore, due to science her life
has undoubtedly improved.

Obesity is a serious problem in many countries, especially in rich countries. Discuss


ways to solve the problem. Provide specific reasons and examples to support your
answer.

For example, the American health Association found that (compared to the average Indian
household), the average American household has a six times larger budget for food per month.
Consequently, it is to be expected that obesity rates are much higher in countries with larger
amounts of wealth.

Doing an enjoyable activity with a child can develop better skills and more
creativity than reading. To what extent do you agree? Use reasons and specific
examples to explain your answer.

For example, in the UK, many boys are avoid reading,, possibly because of being forced to
read, and this turned them against reading. By focusing on other activities and developing other
skills such as creativity and imagination, when they are ready to read, they usually acquire this
skill rapidly.

Today, the quality of life in large cities is decreasing.  Discuss the causes and solutions.
increased vulnerability to terrorist attacks. For example, the density of population in New Delhi
makes it a more efficient place to attack, when compared to a smaller city, such as Bradford.
Therefore, 

Some people think women should be given equal chances to work and excel in their
careers. Others believe that a woman's role should be limited to taking care of the house
and children. Which opinion do you agree with and why? Include specific details and
examples to support your choice

For example, the Organisation for Child Care found that mothers who did part time or online
work spent as much time with their children (after school hours) as housewives. Therefore, it is
incorrect to claim that having a career compromises a mother’s ability to care for her children.

Should humans adapt to technology or should technology be adapted to us? Is


technology making us intellectually weaker or more intelligent?

The computer, for example, has enabled humans to achieve remarkable things, but only after
we adapted our behaviour and learned to use it fully. 

Women can do everything that men can and they even do it better. They also can do
many things that men cannot. But it is a fact that their work is not appreciated as much
as men's, although they have to sacrifice a lot for their family and career. It is said: "A
woman's place is in the home." What do you think?

In certain traditional societies in India, females working is seen as neglecting the family,
whereas in Afghanistan, in general, females are not allowed anything otherthan being a
housewife.

Common questions

Higher obesity rates in wealthier countries can be attributed to larger household budgets for food. The American Health Association found that, compared to the average Indian household, the average American household has a food budget six times larger per month, which correlates with increased obesity rates in countries with greater wealth .

The undervaluation of women's work, despite their ability to perform tasks on par or better than men, reflects deep-seated societal biases that vary across cultures. For instance, in traditional societies in India, women's work outside the home may be perceived as neglecting family duties, a perspective that is even more restrictive in places like Afghanistan, underscoring cultural variations in the appreciation of women's contributions .

Evidence supporting the notion that technology does not inherently make humans more intelligent but requires adaptation includes the observation that while computers and similar technologies enable significant achievements, these are realized only after users modify their behavior and fully learn how to utilize the technology .

The involvement of women in the workforce does not necessarily compromise their role in family care. The Organisation for Child Care found that mothers who engage in part-time or online work spend as much time with their children after school hours as housewives, challenging the notion that having a career undermines a mother's caregiving abilities .

Technology has significantly altered social interactions, especially for people in their 30s. Recent scientific research conducted by the UK government found that 90% of individuals in this age group spend over 20 hours per week on Messenger and similar applications to chat with friends rather than engaging in face-to-face activities such as meeting up, spending quality time together, or participating in sports .

Deciding whether humans should adapt to technology or if technology should be adapted to humans involves considering the potential of technological tools to enhance human abilities versus the effort required for humans to learn and adapt to new tools. Technological advancements like computers have enabled humanity to achieve remarkable feats, but only after people adapted their behaviors and learned to use them fully .

Advances in health and biology have greatly transformed the human experience by improving the overall quality of life and postponing the day of death. For instance, groundbreaking medical procedures like a complete face transplant, which was unthinkable in 1910, highlight the significant progress driven by science, improving the quality of life for individuals .

The declining quality of life in large cities can be attributed to factors such as increased population density, leading to vulnerability to terrorist attacks, as seen in New Delhi compared to smaller cities like Bradford. Solutions could involve urban planning initiatives to manage population density and enhance safety measures .

Engaging in enjoyable activities with children can better foster skill development and creativity than reading by allowing them to explore their creativity and imagination in a more engaging context. In the UK, many boys avoid reading due to forced reading experiences; however, when they later choose to read on their own terms, they often acquire reading skills rapidly alongside other developed skills .

Household gun ownership significantly contributes to accidental deaths among children and teenagers in the United States. According to statistics from the US Department of Justice, 150 American children and teenagers die each year due to accidents related to household guns .
