Mass Media
Mass media plays a pivotal role in our life. Many people and businesses rely on
these mediums for their day to day transactions. On the flip-side it also bombards
us with too much or unwanted information. This essay will shed a light on various
aspects of this issue.Newspapers, radio, television, and the Internet—including e-
mail and blogs—are significantly influential on our society, especially in affirming
attitudes and opinions that are already established. The news media focus the
public’s attention on certain personalities and issues, leading many people to form
opinions about them
Mass media sets the news agenda, which shapes the public's views on what is
newsworthy and important. It is a system used by advertisement agencies and
media outlets, such as television channels and radio stations to "convince" their
audiences to do or act in a certain way. It appeals to the vulnerability of the desired
target. For instance famous person or persons who are recognized, admired by
whole communities. These individuals have the "Power" to convince their followers
or fans into taking any kind of action or decision. Therefore, these famous people
usually are linked or work for some media outlet and are used, to influence the
community accordingly.
The media has changed significantly in the past years. Because of the availability
of television and radio all populations and classes have been exposed to various
types of media. The Internet has provided an even newer media resource. The
majority of people live in a very fast paced society. They have very little time for
reading and exploring the truth of information. The producers of media publication
are aware of this and use the media to influence public choice and opinion. The
problem lies in that many people are gullible and society as a whole is easily
influenced by the media representations. The media also responds to public
demand and provides the information that the public craves.
A positive aspect of the media’s bias has been that it has facilitated change in
people’s perception of races in a positive manner, exposed people to other cultures,
made people aware of environmental needs, and the needs of people far
away. While there can also be negative implications the media also has to reflect
the public’s point of view. With the growing representation of Hispanics, African
Americans, and other minority groups, the media is under pressure to present them
in a more positive light.
To begin with, I will now consider what I hold to be the causes of this phenomenon.
Packaging ensures that people can buy and use products when they want them, in
good condition and with little wastage. However, it is undeniable that some goods
have too much packaging. Moreover, the packaged goods industry is highly
competitive, and packaging manufacturers are under pressure to come up with new
and better packaging solutions to compete in their market. The more resources the
packaging needs, the higher the cost of the products and eventually, consumers will
have to bear that extra cost.
From consumers’ perspective, the packaging does not really matter for most buyers
as what they care about is the quality and the price of the products. From a
personal experience, I am not really concerned how the packaging actually looks as
long as the item that I am purchasing is what I need. In addition, it is worth pointing
out that the packaging will be a waste of money and investment no matter how
good or how thick it is if the quality of the product does not meet the requirement of
the consumers.
To begin with, a variety of reasons can be offered to explain why I am not in favour
of this. Foremost among these, I believe that achieving success in life depends on
many factors such as determination, discipline, clear visions of your goals and
ambitions, motivation and most importantly hard work. Moreover, support from
friends and family around you would also play an important part in your journey to
success. Although there is no doubt that being in a good and cohesive environment
is beneficial, a person who is disciplined and determined to achieve his goals will
find ways to his success no matter where they are.
Firstly to accomplish anything in life required immense hard work and commitment.
Success means earning respectable position, monetary gains and secured future.
Industrious as a key has a lion's share in achieving success and remarkable position
in the society. Moreover, people those who have marked themselves as examples
for others have burnt the midnight oil for reaching at desired positions. To illustrate,
people like, Bill Gates, Ratan Tata, APJ Abdul Kalam and list goes other eminent
personalities are the perfect cases of successful leaders in their respective fields.
To wrap up, the connection between people belong to native regions and
accomplished forks have a very small or trivial effect in overall success stories of
any person. Basic fundamentals will remain static and identical to earn respectable
position in this universe.
Against
While every sport has a danger, extreme sports athletes are at a high risk
of serious injuries. For example, back-country snowboarders are known for riding on
an unpredictable terrain where avalanches are common. Since these off-piste riders
do not ride on a groomed slope, hazards such as large boulders and fallen trees can
be easily hidden under large deposits of newly fallen snow. As can be seen from this
example, even a smallest misstep can plummet big wave surfers more than 30 feet
below the breaking ocean waves. Thus, we can say that adventurous people are
prepared to gamble their safety in search of adrenaline rush.
Large shopping malls are replacing small shops. Your opinion? Good or bad
GOOD
This is a true fact to consider that present world has become a global village.
Therefore, people are motivated to buy their necessities from competitive market.
As a result, a great number of shopping malls has established in past two decades
in almost all cities of the world. The question whether this boom of mall's trend is
positive or negative is a complex issue, upon which opinion varies greatly.
There are reasons for people to believe that large shopping malls are important to
be established as multi stories shopping malls come with a large number of stores
and other facilities under one roof. First and foremost time saving from shopping
from such multi-complex buildings could be significant factor. It may be defined as
majority of them prefer to go to the shopping malls rather than the single stores
because varieties of options are available in one complex. For example, clothes,
groceries, banks, pharmacies, cinemas, food courts, and restaurants etc. are all
available under a single roof and people get better environment from such
establishment.
There are some groups who are in favour of single shops and opine that this trend
should be continued. They have their reasons as well. In spite of views discussed
above regarding why large shopping malls are ideal to the modern society. Parking
problems could be substantial reason behind the opponent's viewpoint. There
including excursive crowding in the shopping complex, especially on weekends and
holidays. As a result shoppers have to spend a long time in the parking bays rather
than the shopping in small shops. The prices in large shopping malls are often
unreasonable and people end up purchasing more than they actually need. The
large shopping malls are not often convenient for lower and middle class population.
In last, undoubtedly, whether shopping in a large shopping complex or single small
shops could be matter of discussion; however, as far as I am concerned, big
shopping malls have immense benefits to the modern society that outweigh the
options and conveniences offered by the small shops.
BAD
In the fast-paced of life, urban citizens like to buy daily items in big supermarket
chains rather than shopping in small stores and local markets. It is argued that chief
among causes this, are convenience and hygienic environments. Yet there remains
some disagreement as to whether the overall effect of shopping at the chains has
been positive or negative. I personally believe that the drawbacks of this tendency
far outweigh its benefits. This argument will be analysed how buying products in the
supermarkets can lead to lose local identity and the price will be controlled by
chains
First of all, it is an undeniable fact that the huge supermarket chains are seriously
eroding the features of the local district. For instance, in Hong Kong, a lot of small
unique retail stores were closed down due to big multiple shops that can afford to
pay high rent. Therefore, all the shops will become homogenous and lose the local
characteristics. Admittedly, although I certainly agree that this kind of market is
convenient, it has severely violated the regional identity.
Secondly and even more importantly, the supermarkets will monopolize the market
and control the price due to less and weak competitors. To illustrate, they can set up
exorbitant price of their products because customers only can buy it from them.
Thus it creates an unbalanced market and also deprives consumers’ right to search
for more affordable alternatives. It is obvious from this that this development has
indeed been bad.
Following this look at how losing the local identity and dominate prices by the
supermarket, it is proven that shopping in the large markets is an unfavourable
development. Also, I believe that it seems highly advisable for residents to
consume in local markets.
Nowadays, people spend too much time at work to the extent that they
hardly have time for their personal life. Discuss. WORK LIFE BALANCE
Long working hours are the norm these days and that is hardly surprising. In this
competitive job scenario people are forced to work harder and harder. When people
spend more hours working, they get less time for themselves. This is not necessarily
a positive development because it can lead to health problems as well as the
disruption of families and personal relationships.
For one thing, there is absolutely nothing to prove that long working hours improve
productivity. In fact, when people work longer than they should, what happens is
that their productivity decreases. They fail to concentrate and take longer to finish
jobs. Traveling far for work doesn’t help either. In many major cities people often
have to travel several hours to reach their work place. When at last, they reach
home braving the traffic and a hard-working day, they have little energy left in
them. In addition, studies have proved that people who spend long hours in the
office are also more likely to develop major health problems like heart disease and
dementia.
We have already seen that long working hours doesn’t necessarily translate into
improved productivity. Another problem with this set up is the effect it has on a
person’s family and social life. When people spend long hours in the office, they get
little time to spend with their dear ones. Parents, who work long hours, often fail to
take proper care of their young children. This can be quite a problem in families
where both parents work. When children are deprived of the attention they deserve,
it will affect their emotional well-being. It can also have a negative impact on their
academic performance. In extreme cases, failure to strike a balance between work
and life can lead to the breakup of families.
As explained above, long working hours are in nobody’s interest. They don’t
improve an individual’s productivity. In fact, they make them less productive. What’s
more, when people spend more time in the office, their family life suffers. In other
words proper work-life balance is absolutely essential to lead a contented life. It is
hoped that companies arrange their working hours in such a way that employees
also get some time for themselves.
It is usually foolish to get married before completing your studies and
getting established in a good job? Do you agree or disagree".
Getting married before finishing studies and getting employed can be arduous at
times. Although some people may believe in getting married prior to settle their
career, I would still advocate that getting married later is much better as one can
focus on his career.
There are numerous disadvantages to getting married while still a student. It can
create a greater problem when you are dependent on parents to support you. There
is the probability of more tension on the part of both sets of parents. Expecting your
parents to continue paying your tuition as though you were still a child once you
have chosen to take on the very adult responsibility of marriage can also create
tension.
Another reason to wait is the time constraint on enrolled newlyweds. Balancing time
at home, adjusting to a new life and spending time on academics is a daunting task,
regardless of how organized you are. Married college students are often left with not
enough time to do housework, study or have couple time. Little time is left for each
other so there’s less time to work on personal growth and the marriage. The college
marriage often results in restriction of college experiences, participation in college
functions and of relationships of college friends.
Not only that, but she also finds that marriage affects academics. “There is often a
drop in grades due to added responsibilities or having to take on a full time job. The
distractions that marriage brings are endless and normal, but if yours current
schedule and goals make marriage too much to handle on top of your college life,
then the smartest decision may be taking care of your college career before saying
your vows.
Sometimes the engaged couple isn’t actually ready to decide what they want out of
marriage yet. College is a time of growth and maturing. Getting married too soon
can cut growth and maturation short. Most students need some time to be self-
supporting, living on your own and making decisions as you mature. An early
marriage can prevent students from ever getting that time to mature.
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and
write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. Agree or
Disagree?
'The illiterate of the twenty-first century will not be those who cannot read and
write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.' - Alvin Toffler
In present situation of the world we should not stop learning things. For example, a
freelance web developer can’t possibly land a high-paying contract if he can’t write
a good proposal letter. A successful developer should not only proficient in
designing schematics and code, but also he should know how to market himself
through writing and by promoting on the internet.
If a person believe that “jack of all trades and master of none” then it is totally
wrong in current society. The truth is that jacks of all trades are valued more highly
right now than people with a very specialized skill set. Additionally it is foolish to
think that it is impossible to become master in many trades which is a is just an
excuse to be lazy.
Some people fear in experimenting because there’s always the risk of failing. They
would rather sit comfortably with their proven methods than venture further into
the unknown, but it will not work well in the current speed of technology advances.
The death of learning comes when a person starts to believe that everything has
already been learned. This conceitedness closes the mind to learning new things.
It’s like believing that the bottle is already full, and therefore must be capped shut,
when it’s still halfway filled.
Do you believe yourself to be the master of your own trade, that focusing on just
one skill is for the best since it’s been working flawlessly for several years now? And
that learning another skill is just a distraction, or perhaps you don’t have time for it?
If your answer is yes to at least one of those questions, then yes, you are an
illiterate of the 21st century. If your answer is no then you are not an illiterate of the
21st century. Nowadays learning newer skills is a win-win situation in highly
competitive job and commerce market.
Why Offer a Discount? Answer is to increase the customer base of the organizations
they offer discounts. Take Groupon for example, someone might get a deal for his or
her local restaurant, and he thinks that "Hey I never been to this restaurant let’s try
today". Bam! The restaurant got a new customer through their door. There are even
multi-million dollar businesses that have built their organizations around the
concept of discounting.
Eventually, discounting can actually hurt organization business in the long run. If a
company is giving discounts it shows that they have lack of confidence on their
product, people expect same price every time it is a bad precedent, and they are
making their product lower perceived value, customer think that the product is not
trustworthiness which will lead to the cut down in the company profit.
The space travel is fantastic these day and they are very fascinate
towards its but there are many environmental problems in our planet we
should resolve the problems or travel space and spend a lot of money
Nowadays, there are many countries spend a large mountain of money in the outer
space traveling. Recently, there are some people think governments should spend
as much money as possible exploring outer space, whoever, some people think
governments should spend those money on our basic needs on earth. I strongly
agree with this opinion because our planet needs more attention to its environment
problems, and many people still starving to death in many parts in our world.
First of all, our planet needs more researches to solve the environment problems.
For example, the air pollution increasing day after day on the earth this is causing
the whole in the ozone layer. This pollution decays from the badly consumption of
the human being. I think this problem deserve more care and attention from the
governments instead of spend money in outer space traveling they should offer a
constant budget to fund such these researches because the outcomes of them will
benefit all the human kind and helping to prevent problems in the future.
Secondly, governments should spend much money to support and help the people
who starving to death in many areas in our plants. We can see and read in many
media resources about the hunger in different areas. The question now is; how
could the governments help those people? I think the answer is very simple, by
spending more money in supporting the hunger people with food, and helping them
to find their food resources. It interested to travel exploring outré space, but just in
case we can find a solution to our planets problems especially the hunger issue.
Because, it does not make any sense spending billions of money in such these trips
and try to find another places in the universe, and the people in the earth can’t find
the enough food to live in.
“In a war of ideas, it is people who get killed”. Does a common man suffer
from a group’s ideology? Express your opinion, and support the same with
reasons and examples
Throughout history, the thinking of a group of people is impacting the lives of
thousands of civilians. Whether it is considered on a political or social level, a set of
decisions of a group explains how a society should work. It is completely agreed
that in the conflict of interest between different countries or different groups within
same country, it is the innocent people who sacrifice their lives. It can be seen from
the incidents of World War II and September 11 attacks in United States of America.
First of all, during World War II, a group of countries namely US, UK and China united
and attacked Japan with explosive atomic bombs destroying the cities of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki, killing more than one lakh civilians. This is a clear example of the
decision laid by a few countries against Japan to surrender to its Allies. Though,
these countries achieved victory in their mission but Japanese people are still
suffering from the radioactive radiation effect which resulted in blindness and
mental disorders. Thus, we can say that political ideologies of a group can
drastically harm society.
In addition, September 11 attacks on US by a group of 19 militants, associated with
Islamic extremist group, hijacked four airplanes and killed around 3,000 people by
colliding airplanes into symbolic US landmark. This example clearly shows how the
decision and planning of these terrorist activists took lives of thousands of innocent
people.
Looking at the above examples, we can say that it is common man who is suffering
from the social, economic and political interests of a few people. It is hoped that in
future, the major decisions concerning every citizen or the civilians of another
country, would be taken considering its consequences.
Parents should be held legally responsible for their children’s acts. What
is your opinion? Support it with personal examples....
Lately there seems to be a great number of young adults making the news for
causing harm to others. Unthinkable acts are being initiated by kids such as setting
fellow students on fire, sexually assaulting an intoxicated and unconscious student,
attacking and beating homeless people, and excessive group bullying leading to
suicide.
I think we can all agree that this type of wrongful conduct is inexcusable. The
question being asked is whether or not the parents of these young adults can be
held liable for the negligent and intentional acts of their children. In my opinion, yes
parents should be held legally for the act of their children. For example if the young
adults causes any damages to the people property because of reckless driving and
injuring others parents should held financially liable. It is fine if it is damage to
property, what if the act of child causes physical damage to person or loss of life?. It
is parent’s responsibility to take care about their children. They should keep
watching his/her acts and tell them what is wrong and what is right. If they are
neglected this and do not look after the children then they should be definitely held
legally for their negligence.
In my capacity as a father to two children, I feel the bottom line is that parents must
take a keen interest in the upbringing of their children. Teaching our children the
difference between right and wrong is our responsibility and should not be
delegated to some else. When it comes to raising children, we all need to walk our
talk and teach by example.
You are given climate as the field of study. Which area will you prefer?
Explain why you picked up the particular area for your study?
All over the world today, it can be observed that the issue of climate change has
grown in importance over the past few decades. Therefore, if I were given climate
as my field of study, I would like to study the underlying causes of this devastating
global phenomenon and possible solutions to tackle this.
To begin with, a variety of reasons can be offered to explain why I would choose this
particular area of study. Foremost among these is the fact that we have been
experiencing the hottest 15 years on record in the last two decades. Linked to this is
the fact that millions are at risk of drought, chronic water shortages, bushfire,
coastal flooding and hazardous air pollution. As the above-mentioned points make it
clear, it can hardly be denied that the issues of climate change must be addressed
with a sense of urgency.
But what really is the proper role for individuals and institutions in addressing
climate change? An immediate and natural response may be that everyone should
do their part. As individuals, we can help by taking action to reduce our personal
carbon emissions. But to fully address the threat of global warming, we must
demand action from our elected leaders to support and implement a comprehensive
set of climate solutions such as transforming our energy system to a cleaner one,
placing limits on the amount of carbon that polluters are allowed to emit, reducing
tropical deforestation and its associated global warming emissions.
In conclusion, It is my considered opinion that if we were to put in place some of the
solutions mentioned, we would at least be on our way to solving this problem.
Therefore, I would like to play my part to contribute to the solution of climate
change.

Fluency is your first priority
Scan for hard words and Spell it clearly before it starts recording.
Rising and falling tone for some words is important.
Be aware of Plurals, don't spell wrongly.
No long disconnection of sentences.(i.e. Gap to each sentence)
Uneven words, Irregular Phrasing
Beware of Inappropriate stress and incorrect pronunciation to some words.
Before it starts recording, read once the total sentence.
Don't be too fast (in recording cannot understand) and too slow.

Fluency
Close your eyes and listen to keep concentration on listening.
No long pauses, Clear voice.

Tips for Describe Image:
Many of them feel it difficult, but it is not that much difficult. Just follow the below tips.
Use the words like To illustate..., It depicts to show that...,
Speak about Highest and Lowest figures or keypoints. ( Most Important)
Fluency, Speak with good voice.
In describing image use the words on the left hand side, on the right hand side, next to,
above, below or bottom, at the top, foreground, background. Just keep on practicing with
these words.
For graphs you can use 'Xaxis on graphs shows.... range......', and 'Yaxis on graph
shows.... range....'
Use the words like over, about, under... to point out the values on axis. If you use those
words no need to be exact value.

Thank you!
Question: Scientists are constantly exploring other planets rather than solving problems
of their own planet. Do you think they should explore or try to evade the problems of
earth .
After pondering over a great deal of thought of both sides, I opine that a right
balance needs to be sought as both the aspects are of paramount value and
need attention and funding.
Speaking:-
1. Repeat Sentence: – Try to do your level best on this. I think this part carry
the maximum points. Need paramount concentration on it. I closed my eyes
and imagine the speaker & topics, this helped me.
3. Retell Lecture: – Again content is not important but ensure you can speak
40 seconds. Ignore “aah”, “hmm” and other paused sound as much as
possible; just speak normal voice with fluency.
One more thing, grammar is not important in speaking (need comment from
expert). Hence, main focus should be fluency and punctuation.
Writing:-
I think, this part is the most easiest one at-least compare with IELTS who
suffers 0 .5 mark there :-)
All the topics are repeated, so it is easy to get the idea before sitting for
exam. However, must practice typing with those known topics within given
time frame.
All these words are easy to fit any sentence and increase your vocabulary
marks and use connecting words like furthermore, moreover, hence, in
addition, besides, nevertheless, nonetheless, although, even though , while,
Indeed, in fact, finally, Lastly, In conclusion etc..
Last not the least, ensure there will be no spelling mistakes. But again I am
not the expert, this is my personal strategy.
Reading:-
This section is definitely hard compare with IELTS at least for me. My
grammar understanding is very poor which was also difficult to improve
within a very short time specially the phrasal verb, collocation. At the same
time, I got little assistance to improve my marks in this section from others.
Hence, I made some strategy with some personal observation.
1) I ensured that my 10/11 questions from fill in the blanks and read &
writing questions should correct.
2) I Skipped the Multiple choose questions as it was killing my times.
Furthermore, it also contain negative marking if answer choose is wrong.
3) Utilize time in single multiple choose and reorder paragraph. However, my
reorder paragraph was very tough compare with my previous exam. Hence, I
was nervous to clear the target score. Anyway, I survive..
Listening
In my opinion it is easy to get point in this section and don’t need to make
any special strategy for it . However, in my own observation, Highlight
Correct Summary, Highlight incorrect words, write from dictation secure
more marks(may be I am wrong as well) and ensure spelling marks in “write
from dictation” section.
The structure of this exam is totally diffferent compare with IELTS. Therefore,
if you decide to give PTE then try your level best with preparation before
fueling money. Nevertheless, may be you will not cross the branch mark (All
module 65/79) in your first attempt and you need to face the same obstacle
again for another attempt like me.
Another Experience
Thanks to my GOD that I passed this exam. Ielts made me think that my
Enlgish is not good enough and too much failure made me somehow
hopeless, but I needed and tried and with my first pte attempt I got +65.
My best mark in IELTS was:
L8
R8.5
S7.5
W6.5
I took it in Brisbane, Navitas centre and the results released in less than 24
hours.
The price is similar to IELTS, but if you put PTE2015 (capital without space) in
promotion code during the registration, it will give you 10% off.
I read almost 160 page of this thread and my advices are not far from the
others, just emphasizing them, so in order to get good marks I encourage
you to read them as much as you can.
SPEAKING:
read aloud: At first you might think it is an easy task, but if you try some
sentences, you’ll see you cannot read it clearly, fluently and without
disturbing pauses. Pronunciation and fluency is really important, and you
have read like a news reader on TV. Watch your tone, intonation, rises and
falls.
Practice as much as you can and you’ll be alright.
Describe image: Note that your response time is only 40 seconds, and the
information shared on the screen is usually too much, so there isn’t enough
time to tell them all and it is not wise to do so. Start with an introduction and
speak fluently and clearly in 30 -35 secs. It is ok if you cannot cover all the
info, only focus on extreme figures. This is similar to IELTS academic writing
task 1.
Sentences like below are good:
My speaking part was the lowest because I didn’t stick to upper rules
completely!
WRITING
summarize:
it’s easy, get the whole idea and convert it into one sentence.
Write essay:
It’s like Ielts writing task 2. Spelling and grammar is important. Check word
by word and proofread your work. Be aware of time.
About sources:
definitely buy the gold kit to prepare yourself and become familiar with
exam. They are harder than the real exam.
– offline practice test
– macmillan
– practice test plus
and check the Google docs about the exam essay questions. They really
help. Actually my essay question was among those questions and I had
practiced it.
The last thing about the exam is that, at the first part of each part it
introduces the whole part, and then goes through the parts without warning,
so you have to be prepared and careful cause timer is counting down quickly.
1.Skim the entire passage to get an idea of its general content. You should
be able to answer the question “What is the passage mainly about?
2.Scan the entire passage for key words and phrases. Words and phrases
that are repeated throughout the passage are usually important. Make a note
of these.
3.If there are multiple paragraphs, the first paragraph will typically be an
introduction to the topic, and will often include a brief description of what will
be discussed.
4.The last paragraph will typically close with a conclusion
5.Each paragraph will have its own topic sentence expressing the main idea.
Typically, the topic sentence is the first sentence of the paragraph (Rest of
things are supporting arguments)
6.The task of summarizing a multi-paragraph passage is sometimes made
easier by briefly summarizing each paragraph first, and then combining
these summaries into a single summary.Make a brief summary of each
paragraph as you finish reading it. You do not need full sentences at this
point.
7.Keep your summary to a maximum of 30 words. The response box has an
indicator that will tell you how many words you have written. If you are
getting close to your word limit, but still need to write more, edit your
sentence to remove unnecessary words, especially adjectives. These can
often be omitted.
8. use punctuations like comman,colon,apastrophe, ETC. You have to use the
full stop in the end of the sentence….
Hello this is very difficult item amongst all in PTE A. You should practice a lot
to get good scores. Moreover, this is the highest weight-age marks compared
all other items. Follow below cited examples , it may help you.
1. First understands/grasp the given paragraphs and what is for ? by using
SKIM and SCAN processes.
2. Identify the topic /main sentence. Mainly consists of key words, person
names, technical names, book names, research names, ….etc
3. Topic sentence is stand alone (SA). Independent sentence. it is not
dependent on any other sentences given there.
4. Main /topic sentence does not starts with any contradict phrases like
(however, but, although) and addition phrases like (Also, moreover,
furthermore, besides.. etc)
5. Follow the pronoun rule – it does have terms like he , she, they , those and
which is referred or depended by some other sentence.
6. After identify the main paragraph, need to check the relationship of
remaining paragraph.
EXPLANATION FOR THE ANSWER transition word “but” in the first sentence. It
signifies that the sentence is expressing an idea contrary to an idea
expressed in some previous sentence. Now we need to find that previous
sentence. If we further look at the beginning of the first sentence, it says
“but in the industrial era…” which suggests that the contrariness is with
respect to eras.
Looking further, we see that sentence B and C are also starting with
statement about eras. But the transition word at the start of C is “now” which
expresses present era and hence it cannot chronologically come before any
other past era. That is, if information era is the present era, talk about any
other era will come before this. So sentence B is the correct sentence to
come before the first sentence.
Likewise, sentence C is the correct sentence to come after the first sentence
(sentence C is continuing the idea). Therefore, we have the link BAC.
We see that option 1, 3 and 4 all have the link BAC. Furthermore, all the
three options have the link EBAC. Therefore, we only need to arrange D and
F. The sentence F states that “The purpose is…to battle with the enemy” and
D questions “how do you battle with the enemy?” Therefore, D will come .
FDEBAC is the correct arrangement.
2- PERSONAL PRONOUN –
Personal pronouns are he, she, it, him, her, they, you, your etc. Remember
that personal pronouns always refer to a person, place or thing etc.
Therefore, if a sentence contains a personal pronoun without mentioning the
person, place or object it is referring to, the person, place or object must
have come in the previous sentence .
EXAMPLE WITH PERSONAL PRONOUN .
A. Although there are large regional variations, it is not infrequent to find a
large number of people sitting here and there and doing nothing.
B. Once in office, they receive friends and relatives who feel free to call any
time without prior appointment.
C. While working, one is struck by the slow and clumsy actions and reactions,
indifferent attitudes, procedure rather than outcome orientation, and the lack
of consideration for others.
D. Even those who are employed often come late to the office and leave
early unless they are forced to be punctual.
E. Work is not intrinsically valued in India.
F. Quite often people visit ailing friends and relatives or go out of their way to
help them in their personal matters even during office hours.Look at the
personal pronoun “they” in sentence B: Once in office, they receive friends
and relatives who feel free to call any time without prior appointment. This
they must be referring to some people. The reference to some people only
comes in sentences A, D, and F. Therefore, one of the sentences will come
before sentence B. Let’s see the link AB,DB, and FB;
Link AB- Although there are large regional variations, it is not infrequent to
find a large number of people sitting here and there and doing nothing. Once
in office, they receive friends and relatives who feel free to call any time
without prior appointment.
Link DB- Even those who are employed often come late to the office and
leave early unless they are forced to be punctual. Once in office, they receive
friends and relatives who feel free to call any time without prior appointment.
Link FB- Quite often people visit ailing friends and relatives or go out of their
way to help them in their personal matters even during office hours. Once in
office, they receive friends and relatives who feel free to call any time
without prior appointment.
Which of these links makes sense? Only link DB seems coherent. Now, we
examine the options with link DB. We see that options 1 and 3 have link DB
in them. Also, both the options have link ADBF. Therefore, ADBF is a link. Now
we only need to place sentences E and C. We can do that by reading the
sentences in the order given in options 1 and 3.
THE FLOW OF AUTHORS IDEA SHOULD BE COMPLETELY LOGICAL; THE
AUTHOR DOES NOT JUMP FROM ONE IDEA TO OTHER SUDDENLY.
In link EC, sentence E is talking about work not being valued whereas
sentence C is talking about people being clumsy, indifferent, inconsiderate
etc. Sentence C is NOT talking about value of work. It is talking about
people’s behavior. Therefore, EC cannot be a logical flow.
The rule is that if both full form as well as short form is present in different
sentences, then the sentence containing full form will come before the
sentence containing short form.
1. If you are used to having your stimulation come in from outside, your mind
never develops its own habits of thinking and reflecting
2. Marx thought that religion was the opiate, because it soothed people’s
pain and suffering and prevented them from rising in rebellion
3. If Karl Marx was alive today, he would say that television is the opiate of
the people.
4. Television and similar entertainments are even more of an opiate because
of their addictive tendencies.
3241 THE RIGHT ABSWER
5-TIME SEQUENCE APPROACH-Either dates or time sequence indicating
words: Be aware of the time indication either by giving years – or by using
time indicating words. Arrange the sentences using their proper time
sequence. Here are a few time sequence indicating words -Before after later
EXAMPLE FOR THIS
1. Then two astronomers—the German, Johannes Kepler, and the Italian,
Galileo Galilei-started publicly to support the Copernican theory, despite the
fact that the orbits it predicted did not quite match the ones observed.
2. His idea was that the sun was stationary at the centre and that the earth
and the planets move in circular orbits around the sun.
3. A simple model was proposed in 1514 by a Polish priest, Nicholas
Copernicus.
4. Nearly a century passed before this idea was taken serious
SOLUTION EXPLANATION The 3rd sentence talks about the time event and
other time vents follow it in a chronological order. So
3241 IS THE RIGHT ANSWER
6- ARTICLE APPROACH
Articles can be divided into two categories –
1. Definite (the) and
2. Indefinite (a and an).
When the author uses ‘a / an’ – he wants to make a general statement –
wants to introduce the noun followed by a/an for the first time but when he
uses ‘the’ he wants to refer back to some previously discussed noun. It
means having ‘the’ is very unlikely in the opening sentence. If ‘a/an’ and
‘the’ both are used for the same noun then the sentence containing ‘the’ will
come after the sentence containing a/an.
7- NOUN , PRONOUN AND ADJECTIVE APPROACH– Whenever pronoun comes
– it will come in the immediate sentence containing the respective noun.
i. e. A sequence can be like this
Noun
Pronoun
Pronoun
Pronoun
or like
Noun Pronoun
………….. no pronoun
Noun
Pronoun
i.e. the pronoun sequence will continue till it is halted by a break (i.e. a
sentence containing no pronoun) then if necessary it will start with the noun
again. We can’t write pronoun after a break. It is not a correct form of writing.
7. All the paragraphs should have a relation with others and try to identify
that.
There are various types of charts. In the following example we show the
numbers of pets in Year 7 of a school.
TYPES OF CHARTS
Charts English
table
pie chart
bar chart
line graph
LIST WITH PHRASES TO DESCRIBE
CHARTS
The pie chart is about …
The bar chart deals with …
The line graph (clearly) shows …
The slices of the pie chart compare the …
The chart is divided into … parts.
It highlights …
… has the largest (number of) …
… has the second largest (number of) …
… is as big as …
… is twice as big as …
… is bigger than …
more than … per cent …
only one third …
less than half …
The number … increases/goes up/grows by …
The number … decreases/goes down/sinks by …
The number … does not change/remains stable
I was really surprised/shocked by the …
So we can say …
USE OF TENSES
Mind the correct use of tenses when describung a chart. If the charts deals
with facts in the present (as in our example), use the Simple Present, if the
facts are the past, then use the Simple Past. If there is a connection between
the past and the present, use thePresent Perfect.
1 INTRODUCTION
Here you say what the diagram is about. Mind the title of it and do not forget
to include the source.
The pie chart is about the pets in Year 7. The chart is divided into 5 parts. It
is taken from …
The largest number of pets are in form 7GI. There are 16 pets.
The second largest number of pets are in form 7HK. There are 8 pets.
So there are more than twice as many pets in form 7GI.
The chart shows that there are only 2 pets in form 7CS and 3 in form 7VR.
3 CONCLUSION
So we can say that the most pets of Year 7 are in form 7GI and the least in
form 7CS. There are more than 50 per cent of all the pets in one form – form
7GI.
B POPULATION GROWTH IN CANADA
This graph shows the growth of the population in Canada from 1978 to 2009.
It is taken from the website about Statistics in Canada.
There are three graphs in the chart. The green graph shows the total growth
of the population, the black one deals with the migrated people in Canada
and the blue graph shows the natural increase of the population. In 1988/89
there was an enourmous growth. In the following years the total growth went
down to about 250,000 in 1998/99. From that time on the Canadian
population has been gradually growing again although the natural increase
slows down. So we can say that the growth of the population in Canada is
based on migration.
