✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?

It is said that

people

who read books have a better vocabulary, creative thinking and imagination compared to those who are more partial to watching TV. I strongly agree with

this

statement

due to

a few reasons that I am going to discuss

further

. On the first hand, when you are reading you need to imagine the visualization by yourself,

otherwise

, you will not be thrilled by the book. It relates to diverse genres

such

as business literature, fiction, novel, fantasy and even history. Usually,

while

people

reading, they do not have any illustrations so they have to transport all

words

into pictures.

For example

, a child is reading a comic in a kind of book without any pictures.

Therefore

, he has to imagine a series of images in that comic by himself

while

reading.

Secondly

, reading actually helps

people

to have a firm grasp of the language.

This

due to

the fact that books and articles use a range of vocabulary,

while

reading they come across different types of

words

that are suitable for a particular situation. In day-to-day life,

people

can use different

words

in their writing and speaking which they have learnt

while

reading. To illustrate, I developed a habit of reading since childhood and

this

helped me to learn a range of new

words

which I use in my writing and speaking. In conclusion, reading for pleasure is the best habit that

people

should develop because it develops

people

intellectually and

people

can improve their command of the language.

Some school leavers travel or work for a period of time instead of going directly to university. Do the advantages of this for study outweigh the disadvantages?
While spending a period of time traveling or working instead of going directly are increasingly popular, they continue to be rather controversial because the benefits are hard to quantify exactly. There are valid arguments on both sides, which I will discuss now.

People from cities go to university more often than those who live in the country. Some people think that the government should make it easier to enter universities for people who live outside of cities and towns by setting lower entry requirements and tuition fees. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Nowadays, more people are entering higher education than ever, yet not all have equal access to it. Someone with a rural background has a lower chance of studying at university than their peer living in the city. I fully agree that the government should aim to eliminate this disparity.

Some people believe that it is the responsibility of individuals to take care of their own health and diet. Others however believe that governments should make sure that their citizens have a healthy diet. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Nowadays an increasing number of people are becoming concerned about their health and the quality of their diet. There are two diametrically opposed opinions on the matter. Some people believe that each and every individual is responsible for their own health while others state that it is the government that must ensure that the citizens have healthy eating habits.
