PTE Essay 33:

Q: 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.

PTE Essay 32:

Q: 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 su***de.

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.

PTE Essay 31: English

English is the most likely candidate for global language in 21st century. Despite having many languages around the world, it remains official language in almost 100 countries. As majority of the people speak English, it will take centuries to replace it with some other power language. So in my opinion English language will remain as the global language despite globalization.

Ever since English has been adapted as international language, it has become language of conversation between two people of different countries and culture. It has rapidly become the world language and over a billion of people speak it. For example: In any international summit or conference, English acts as the means of communication.

To achieve international peace and coexistence, there is strong need for one common world language and English has come very close to it. Globalization is bound to happen and if ever any country like China became global superpower in the future, will Mandarin (language of China) get the same status as of English? I doubt the idea.

The academic curriculum in schools and colleges across the world has made English as their mandatory language. It has become the lingua franca of science. English is now the language of business, pop culture and overall it is associated with globalization. The companies are marking their products in English language too to market them globally so it will very tedious process to change it.

Three quarters of the world’s overall population are English speakers. There are fewer chances of any other language to enjoy the international status. In my opinion, English Language will continue to be the global language.

OR

There are so many benefits of learning English and they can be found in many sides such as in international business community, technology field, education, and in the social life.
In international business environment, English holds an important role to make the business goes well. English is very useful when company build cooperation with another international company from different country. To become the winner of the hard competition in business world, businessman must be able to understand and use English well. Besides that, a company prefers to hire an employee who has a good skill in language, especially English. However, by understanding English will improve the prospect for employment in business environment and help the businessman able to handle the business problem efficiently
English takes a large part in the growth of technology. Almost every electronic devices use English especially computing and internet. That is because most of scientists write in English although some of them use English as their second language. English is not only use in the hardware but it is used in the software also. Every command in the computer is in English and to operate it people should understand English first. In the internet, there is a lot of information written in English such as e-mail, blog, and social network. It shows that learning English gives many benefits to the advance of technology.
In education, the international student should have capability to speak, read, and write in English. A student can access any information in the books, internet, and magazine with the help of English. Successful academic career depend on how deep the understanding of student in English because in international standard education English is the primary language which used in learning process. Besides that, if the students know English well, they also will be able to read and understand the great work in literature that related with their study which written in English. In this case, English can be assuming as the root of the international education.
As a social creature, people will continuously interact with the other in various social lives. In this case English become unifier of the difference in language. People will be easier to express their idea about something or exchange information in English to the other people from different country. English is the tool for digging information deeper and deeper again to know what actually happen in the world. If people have a good capability to speak in English, it will be widening their knowledge because they will be able to understand more information than those who are not good in English

PTE Essay 30: Successful sport star role model

Today, many youngsters follow celebrities like sports and movie stars as their role models. This can be seen on all over social media. It is disagreed to follow successful sports person or glamorous movie star. This will be shown by taking into account immoral acts of these sports personalities and derogatory roles played by film stars.

To begin with, recently many cases have been published of athletes using illegal steroids. This may influence their innocent followers negatively. For example, few years ago, Lance Armstrong, 7 times winner of Tour de France was found guilty for using performance enhancer drugs. It goes without saying that, youngsters must be discouraged to follow such sport stars.

Furthermore, it’s often seen that glamorous film stars play derogatory roles in movies. For instance, Sanjay Dutt, a famous actor from Indian cinemas often plays a roles of mafia and villain: taking drugs, robbing banks and living a lavish lifestyle. This sets a bad example for adolescents. It is obvious from this example that movies stars shouldn’t be ideal role models. Thus, youngster’s admiration of these personalities should not be supported.

This analysis proves that, all successful sports stars and film stars may not be ideal role models. In a nutshell, youngsters should not be supported to follow these jazzy personalities blindly. It is recommended to teach youth to follow virtuous characters.

PTE Essay 29: Mobile phone

Mobile phone is one of the most important inventions that have brought people tremendous convenience and efficiency. Admittedly, if misused or overused, it may cause some social, medical and technical problems. However, its pros far outnumber its cons.

Mobiles have helped people remain connected with the world from wherever they are. Distance is not a barrier any more there is a sense of security if you know you have a gadget with which you can be in touch with your near and dear ones. At the time of emergencies and calamities, they are one of the most used tools for supplying immediate help.

Mobile phones also provide us with facilities like messaging, camera, recording and internet. As a matter of fact, now they can serve as a good replacement of laptop. Business transactions can also take place at any time of the day and family commitments can also be fulfilled while at work. Cell phones also serve as entertainment tools as many games can now be played and some phones have FM radio connection too.

On the downside, mobile phones emit infrared rays which directly affect the body part exposed to. According to Australian Health Research Institute, use of mobile phones can lead to ear, eye and brain cancer besides some other disorders like heart ailments. Overuse of mobiles takes away the privacy and sometimes even the peace of mind. Wherever we are, at work, at home or in a social gathering, we are hammered with unwanted calls or messages. It is a boon to roadside paparazzi for whom taking snaps is just too easy with more advanced mobiles.

To sum up, the advantages of the mobile phone far outweigh its disadvantages. Mobile technology definitely has brought a revolution and changed the way to work, to socialize and to entertain, but we must be more wise and responsible in using it.
