Task: Nowadays young people know less about traditions and culture than in the past. What are the reasons for it?what can be done to improve this situation? In these days, the new generation is not keen on traditions and culture in comparison with the past. Although traditions and culture they play a vital role in future of each society, we see that they are going to be forgotten among the young people. There are many reasons in this regard which we review some of themsome of which will be reviewed in this essay. Nowadays, our the life style is going to be changed. Modernity makes people to be more busy than before compared with the past, so young people do not have enough time for paying attention to the traditions and culture. For example, many people have a hectic life and they must work more and more to improve their life level, so traditions and culture can be forgotten. I believe governments should assume responsibility to address this issue. For instance, by with making a strong economy, we create jobs for young people, so they can have free time to think about their past. On the other hand, the new generation strongly believe that traditions and culture could not be useful or they don't agree with some parts of or the whole hole of that, they think we are living in a global village, thus we don't need to them. For example, in the western country the meaning of family is different than that in the eastcompared with eastern, so some young people in the eastern countriesy like to have the same life. I think the education system can play a vital role in to acquainting the new generation with culture and traditions. They can hold hole events and festivals and demonstrate positive aspects of their culture and traditions. As a conclusion, I strongly believe that each nation's future is positively influenced adversely affected by their culture and traditions, so everybody needs to be accustomed to with them.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? The best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. Since the beginning of the time, traveling has played a profound role in civilized societies and has altered the future of them. The majority of people strongly hold the view that nowadays traveling in a group led by a tour guide is much easier. On the other hand, there are those some people who believe in solitary travel.contradict this idea and take an opposite view point. By and large, I personally agree with the former concept and my reasons are given below. First of all, from my own perspective, one of the most striking reasons is that traveling is a the matter of learning new things and getting to know with new people while traveling alone wouldn't give you much of this opportunity these opportunities because when you are traveling in by a group you, would open the door to so many new people that have stories to be heard and skills to be learned. The more you are would be with the group, the more you would become a sociable person. We have a religious thought that if you want to know a person, you had better let’s travel with them(her or him). Because in traveling we could see the other sides of people and the positive points for ourselves is that we could be aware of our habits and maybe the bad ones habits and try to quit/break them and start the better ones. Secondly, another outstanding reason to take into account is that without traveling in a group led by a tour guide, there would be no more description for new places and also there would be so many pristine /new places that are waiting for you to be discovered them and it would be caused a big regret for you after your trip. Recently, I traveled to the south of my country with my family and without a tour. When we arrived there, we had no idea about that town's new places, and we just asked the local people of that city about the attractive astonishing places and we tried try to visit them after all. Of course those places were a lot more adorable and amazing, but we didn't have any tour guide to explain us about those places and the history behind them to us which and it made us confused with a lot of regrets. In a nutshell, according to all the aforementioned reasons, it can be concluded that the best way to travel is in a group led by a tour guide, from becoming a more sociable person to becoming a person with much awareness more awareness person. alone description

The modern family structure and roles of each member have changed in the recent years. Do you think it has a negative or a positive effect on families? Give your opinion and relevant examples. In past, there was a clearly defined family structure in a way that fathers and mothers played a key role in their families' leadership. although this form still continues in some traditional families, with growing complexities in lives which originates from modern life the family structures are completely are changing. Now a query requiring to be raised is whether does this approach has negative effects or not. In the past, families inspired deep reverence for society, so the youth were always after starting a family soon. In this society all of roles in family had been well defined, and consequently when people suffered from any the trouble, they could hope to solve it this problem by consultation with their family and if the problem would not be solved, the motivation behind them that their families provided could decrease the misfortune. However, In the modern family unfortunately the family members are drifting apart together. With By technologicaly developments and the great tendency among youth to have virtual relation instead of facetime real one, people tend to live far from their family and this approach unintentionally can lead to develop major difficulties like emotional spiritual ones that can be derived from loneliness. Additionally some claim that one of the great changes in modern families is changing the roles in a way that the children play a leadingership role in families and leads to irreparable damages in not only the family's integrity continuity but also ruins the children's character and raises the selfcentered children who are lost unfamiliar with their position in society. By contrast, Whereas some assert that the modern family's vital statistics are far better than those of the traditional institutional family, and of all previous family forms. Quantum changes in income, mortality rates, life expectancy, nutritional status, educational opportunities, and other indicators of the quality of life occur in response to industrialization, modern health care, education, and other aspects of socioeconomic development. It is widely agreed that families are better off with these changes than without them. furthermore, they maintain that these eminent benefits can outweigh the disadvantages like the changing the roles in families. In sum, I believe that that two forms of families have some benefits besides drawbacks. We should strike a relative balance between them. It is the duty of the government to provide some educational plans for families to keep pace with changes. in this way, media can play a crucial role in educating families.

Many parts of the world are losing important natural resources, such as forests, animals, or clean water. Choose one resource that is disappearing and explain why it needs to be saved. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. The Earth is much older than the human beings, however we have managed to destroy many precious natural resources. We have polluted the air; we are poisoning our water sources; removing forests. All these resources are in limited quantity and are vanishing quickly as days are passing by. In my opinion, clean water is one of the natural resources which have decreased and should be saved. Firstly, in this era, every country is trying to become a super power in industrialization and globalization of the economy. But in this competition they forget about the most important natural resources, which are depleting. Big industries are emitting waste materials directly in to the seawater and polluting it drastically. Many fishes and species living under the water are dying because of this and harmful gases are destroying our environment too. Secondly, in many developed countries, there is no proper law for dumping the industrial and sewage waste. Consequently sewage and industrial waste is getting dumped in the oceans regularly resulting in contamination of whole ecosystem. The marine animals such as fishes consume the waste and human beings consume those fishes, which sequence in serious health conditions damaging the whole food chain. In addition, the supply of unfit water to many societies which causes many serious health problems like malaria, dengue and other diseases. On the other hand, one of the basic needs of daily living beings in this world that cannot be separated is clean water. Water is one of the resources that is needed by all humans because of its' essential role in humans' life such as drinking, bathing, washing, and so on. Humans cannot live without water; clean water would be required so that people can maintain their health. However, the condition of the water this time it began to decrease due to excessive use. For the use of water should remain limited and keep in balance. In conclusion, I believe that every country must focus on the sustainable development of fresh clean water but with increasing in the population growth in developed countries and the demands of the agriculture and industrial usage have made it difficult for the Governments to provide sufficient clean water for the people.

Nowadays, young people know less about traditions and culture than in the past. What are the reasons for it? What can be done to improve this situation? Along with the so fast growing technology, the lifestyle of people has changed. Besides, their ambitions and demand the ambitious and demanded of them have altered as well and they are not keen on traditions and cultures in comparison with the past. The question is what are the causes are for this trend? Moreover, I will clarify the solution to of this matter. Firstly, our fast‐paced lifestyle shapes the character and attitude of the people. They are forced to pay attention to the routine and earning money. In addition, there is no balance between their personal life and professional life and they do not have enough time to spend for spending on other issues such as the history and culture of their country. Secondly, religion creates makes the a huge gap between the traditions and the young people. Religion is in contrast with traditions and old‐fashioned culture. For example, traditional music and dancing are forbidden in Islam. Thirdly, government disregards the role of traditions and culture among youth. For instance, for hiring and having an important position in some organizations and firms, being knowledgeable about cultures is not essential. However, there is a significant way to persuade young people to find found out more about the previous centuries and also the culture of their own country. Modifying the lifestyle and changing some habits and manners regarding this issue are all dependent on the government. Initially, establishing some organizations for propaganda and advertising the traditions and culture should be the first priority of each country. After that setting upup the billboards and using celebrities could draw the attention of youth. Finally, holding some trainingee courses in the universities and companies is are effective and showing some rituals and ceremonies through some individual campaigns. To put in a nutshell, there is no doubt that the new generation is far from their cultures due to the lack of attention of government. But it is not a hard job to overcome this problem and it is the a duty of the government to plan for the future of the youth to realize better the their traditions of their countries.

Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think might be effective? Traffic and its consequent pollution as its first consequence have been recognized as an issue of broad concern among megacities' /mega cities’ citizens. Although attempts have been made done to face it, the problem is still there.alive. Some believes that raising rising the fuel price is the best course of action to perform. others, however, myself included think that not only is it not the best way but also it degenerates the situation. A Combination of actions is necessary in order to address it. Traffic as the cause of air, sound and visual sight pollution as well as being responsible for wasting the huge amounts of money and time is a serious problem and for sure a numbers of reasons cause it for example, lack of management and coordination between responsible organizations such as municipality, the traffic police and the transportation system . Moreover, the quality of fuels plays an important role in this way, so cooperation of the oil organization surfaces comes to the story. Another perspective goes through the culture. When citizens think beyond their own needs considering the society's benefits and giving more value to the public welfare the process of addressing these kinds of issues will be more fruitful for instance, using public transport while they will be more comfortable if they drive, so the solution lies lays in education. Hence, the question is how petrol price rising will help in this way? It creates just more havoc among individuals’ lives then, the more pressure, the more dissatisfaction and less contribution in governmental projects and the process will continues without any useful alteration. To sum up, traffic and pollution problems are the signs of deeper more deep and more fundamental destructions such as mismanagement lack of management and contribution between responsible agencies, for which society members pay the its’ costs, so increasing petrol prices is sowing the seeds of destruction but the solution lies lays in education.

Governments should spend money on railways rather than roads. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? It is needless to say that railways and roads are the most important infrastructures which governments should invest in on them to develop their countries. Meanwhile there is an argument which suggests governments concentrate on developing railways rather than roads. Firstly, railways and roads are the means of transportation. Therefore, developing these infrastructures results in developing countries. The more facilitated transportation becomes, facilitated, the more easily products can be exported or imported. Also, it is worth knowing here that trains as a result of consuming less energy and conveying huge amounts of products are more beneficial in comparison with trucks, so it seems warranted to focus on constructing erecting railways since many countries consider it as one of the most important criteria for development. For example, the US as the most developed county on the earth has the longest railways more than that China and Russia combined. Secondly, I think every country should regard their own interests/benefits. Some countries need to allocate bigger/more budgets for developing railways while others have to do so for roads. For example, in Iran, roads are the main culprit of the death of thousands people. Providing the government spends its whole of its civil budget on developing railways, the rate of death in car accidents will probably increase. Nevertheless, meager attentions to the quality of roads will raise social grievances. It is a right for citizens of a county to travel safely on an appropriate road. In a nutshell, from the author's perspective, according to the situation of countries, governments should decide what proportion of their civil budgets should be allocated to developing roads or railways.

Many people believe that formal ‘pen and paper’ examinations are not the best method of assessing educational achievements. What is your view of examinations? In this essay I am going to be looking at formal ‘pen and paper’ examinations .Some people think there’s no reason to believe pen and paper examination is the best way that shows the person’s intelligence. On the other hand, In the other side, unlike despite them, some others believe this method of examination doesn’t illustrate reflect their educational achievements. However, in my opinion traditional methods of exams are not isn’t the best option which clarifies the matter of abilities but in the most situations it’s the only procedure of assessing the skills. Ordinary exams have clear drawback. For example some test‐takers perform poorly because of anxiety. Some other people can express themselves verbally or in a practical positions and rote learning doesn’t satisfy them, which is common in pen and paper examinations. Books and papers are is used just as an element in a practical actions and they don’t meet all the criteria because some related skills can’t be written or can’t be thought with them. In actuality, a number of studies have illustrated that those who some how achieved better grades in a pen and paper examinations have been more prepared in job vacancies. Although, they might not have had the experience of didn’t doing the before same job, but they can find a methodology to overcome the task(do) the deal. In most situations examiners just assess the candidates with written tests because an exact assessment consumes a lot of cost and time. These This exams have has less the minor cost for showing the abilities rather than the other method. As a result, pen and paper examinations are not isn’t the best way of measuring the learning but they it has have the minimum of cost for the examiner and is commonly used in all positions. Other methods of evaluations such as research skills and group projects must be joined jointed with the pen and paper examinations to increase the precision/accuracy of exact the assessment and to set the stage for better measurements of learning. This line graph shows the per cent of adolescents who following a vegetarian diet in UK over different years. According to this graph the percentage of UK adolescents following a vegetarian diet gradually rose from zero to 15 per cent between 1960 to 1980. The differential rate was so steep in this period. In 1980 it maximized. It followed by gradually decreasing over 10 years and after that it had a very little rise in 2 years. Then It decreased steeply and reached to the lowest level ‘about 4 per cent in 1997’. After fluctuating in 3 years it had a slight rise, so that in 2012 it leveled off and reached to about 11 per cent. It is projected to remain briefly same in next 8 years. Overly, some decade ago the UK adolescents following a vegetarian diet was neatly zero. Since 1960 till now it had some rise and fall, but for next decade we anticipate it to remain same.
