ANSWER:-

Schools are the prestigious institutes where a child can acquire the skills on various aspects of life.
However, school’s main purpose whether to make children civilized citizens and workers or to nurture
their individual’s talents is always a moot question. In my opinion, I fully agree with the former notion
because these are the primary factors to build up a prosper nation other than developing one’s
individuality.

Schools must give priority on building an enlightened nation where morality,

integrity and civil behaviour would be the key characteristics. Since, every country is
defined in the terms of crime rate or whether people abides the laws or not. For
instance, in some countries, people violates traffic rules, do heinous crimes, littering
in public places and are careless about environment. So, schools can effectively teach
these qualities to pupils at an early age which will be rooted deeply among them and
they can become a good citizens of society.
Another important duty of schools is to prepare youngone for the future jobs from a
primary age because it will help them to live decent life and also the country would
be economically developed. When schools make the career-oriented subjects like
computer programming, Accountancy as the core part of their curriculum, then that
will surely give them jobs in future and in turn it will bring the good income for an
individual and country can generate revenues through taxes ,paid out of the salary
by an individual. Ultimately, it would mean that schools need to inculcate
indispensable skills and discipline required for jobs among students apart from
nourishing their own talents.
To conclude, developing individuality of students is of no use if they would not live in
good society. So, schools should give due importance towards shaping their
behaviour and imbibing the apt skills for their future jobs which collectively are
advantageous for buliding a progressive society.

The diagrams below show the stages and equipment used in the cement-
making process, and how cement is used to produce concrete for building
purposes.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features,

and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

ANSWER:-
The diagrams illustrate the process of cement and concrete production along with
the tools used in these two processes.
Overall, in cement production only two materials are used that are, limestone and
clay while concrete production is done using cement, water, sand and gravel.
In the process of cement production, firstly , limestone and clay are mixed through
crusher which in turn becomes powder. Then this powder passes from a mixer to
rotating heater where heat is supplied constantly and now the powder is in the form
of paste. Further, by using grinder, paste is converted into the cement to go through
the last step that is packaging of cement in bags.
In second diagram, 15% cement, 10%water, 25% sand and 50% gravel are put
together in the concrete mixer which moves in clockwise direction to blend the
ingredients well. Eventually, concrete is ready for the purposes of building.
