✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?

Nowadays , few nations either have lost or are rapidly losing their customs , and rituals at an alarming rate . The reason behind

this

could be many like the influence of the other part of the world, but not without a rescue in the form of elders and educational institutions .

This

essay highlights both comprehensively. Today's era is a period of globalisation , and varied and diverse information in the form of cultural exchange is being flown from one part of the world to the other. A famous festival in Spain ,The Tomaticana is widely followed in countries like India.

As a consequence

,a native festival of Holi is getting eliminated from major segments of India ,which now has remained restricted to certain colonies.

Moreover

, a number of organisations like PETA and many celebrities are actively vocal about the harms of the dangerous chemicals used in Holi colours which not only jeopardize human life but

also

impact animal lives in a horrendous way . The youth blindly follow these famous persons and drift from their own cultural roots without even realising the purpose behind their existence.

However

, a parent being a first teacher has been found held accountable for imparting the cultural and moral values hidden in a custom like say Holi , which is known to be celebrated as the victory of a highly virtuous and innocent soul Prahlad from the hands of a devil lady .

Likewise

,schools through arranging folktales , and story enactment can help disseminate the cryptic message behind the act .

For instance

, a play can be arranged to show the tale of Prahlad and a devil lady,

hence

,students will come to the reason for the celebration rather than considering it a useless ritual . In a nutshell , customs are proof of the existence of any civilisation which needs to be protected to show the richness of a country's history .

Thus

,parents and schools with joint efforts can practically make

this

possible.

Most of the people send text messages rather than calling. Explain the reasons for it. Do you think sending text message is an advantage or disadvantage?
Through development of technology, we have found two main ways to communicate long distance, phone calls and text messages. Both help us in reaching another person miles away. Although, sending text messages may rather serve a disadvantage in comparison to calling. Text messages may give people the wrong impression as we can interpret it in different ways.

Some people think that it is beneficial for children to do paid work, while others think that it can be harmful for children. What are the advantages and disadvantages for children doing paid work?
Although some people suppose that it is advantageous for children to have paid work, others believe that can be dangerous for youngers. Children can learn some neccessary skills, but they suffer from serious problems. On the one hand, doing paid work brings some major benefits for children. Firstly, being employed helps kids understand the value of money. This is a vital lesson to learn as it teaches them not to waste money. Secondly, working is advantageous because children take first steps in learning money management. As for me, now I have a part time job, so I have a small amount of money. I always think of how to spend it properly and how to save it. In short, understanding the value of money and the money management skill are nessessary for children to develop into self-supporting adults and ready the society and work force.

In the comming years, people will lose their intrest in buying printed books or newspapers due to availability of E-books and online newspapers for free.
