Question 5 A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your comunity. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new influence on your community. Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position.
Answer
Building a large factory influences on our community a lot. Although it has some disadvantages, I strongly believe that it has great advantages to overcome the disadvantges. Therefore, I will support to build a new factory.
The worst disadvantage I am worried is that the factory might pollute the environment aound our community. In fact, many factories produce bad air, or contaminated water. We must not encourage (discourage) any factory which makes our life unworthy. However, if we regulate the water and air from the factory, the bad influence will be less. We often survey the concentrations of the contaminants in the air and water from the factory. If (Whenever) the factory violate the standards, we have to claim the factory. As long as the factory are not harmful to our environment, they do not have to stop the production.
On the other hand, building a factory has many advantages. The primary advantage is that the factory brings much money to the community. We can use it for our community. Concretely, we can solve a welfare problem. Especially, Japan has faced on a problem that the ratio of old people increases. It is hard to solve the problem, but we have to conquer it. By getting money from the factory, we can build new facilities for old people. The factory will give good influence on our community.
In addition, the factory hires people living in the community. To get a job has been harder in (the latest) fifteen years. Especially, youngsters do not get a full-time job. To solve the problem, we have to offer a new job. A large factory will need a lot of people. If all of them are hired from our community, the life of the people of (in) the community will be more stable.
Consequently, I will support to build a new large factory in our community. Although it has disadvanges, if we solve the problem (them), they are not matter. Also, it brings us advantages: giving money; and hiring people. Both are problems we have now. The factory is welcome if it solves the problems.

Question 6 :If you could change one important thing about your hometown, what would you change? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
Answer
If I can (could) change one important thing in my town, I want to conserve forests. Although it has forests, they have been smaller. I think we were surrounded by wider forests when we were young. We need beautiful and wide forests to enrich our life. I will write three reasons why I want forests.
My primary reason is that forests have been destroyed for urban plannings. A lot of buildings have been constructed to sell new comers moving to our town. Already, a wide range of forest changed to apartments or office buildings. The sight view of the town is not beautiful because we can see only buildings. Originally, human beings were living in forest. Even if we live in a big town, I strongly believe that we are longing for a (the) green environment.
Next (The next) reason is that people throw away many stuffs (much stuff) they do not need. In the forest near my house, a lot of stuffs are (stuff is) left. For example, they are (it is) refrigerators, televisions, microwaves, and so on. The forest does not seem beautiful. We must not forgive a small number of bad people destroying the view of the forest. I think to conserve forests includes to clean it (them) up.
Another reason is that forests are places for wild animals. It means that any forest does not belong to only human beings. Therefore, we need to consider all of the animals living (in) the forests. We can not cut the trees without any permission of the animals. To live together with them is a fundamental way for us. The conservation of forests also protests (protects) animals.
In conclusion, I want to keep the forests in our town. We destroy forests to construct new buildings, and we destroy the view of them. Moreover, we sometimes forget many animals are living there. We have to think the importance of the forests again.
Question 7

How do movies and television influence people's behavior? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
Answer
People see and watch Movies and television for many hours. (People see movies and watch television for many hours.) Moreover, we can reasonably rent the VCR of a movie. People are strongly influenced by both media. Especially, I believe that people (they) are inspired to buy goods. I will write three reasons why people want to buy commercial goods by these media.
First, (we tend to buy goods familiar to us in commercials.) We often watch TV commercials, We (and) remember them without consciousness. When we go shopping, we look for (the) goods we watched (looked at) in commercials, because we get to trust them by watching so often. Suppose, which we buy, a familiar energy (health) drink or an unfamiliar one when we go to a drag store? I strongly believe a majority of people buy a familiar drink.
Second, we want to buy the same goods movie characters have. They show their cars, jewels, or clothes in movies. Sometimes, buying the same stuff elevates a (the) status of other people. Therefore, many companies want to have a contract to big movie stars or sport players. Companies can get benefits because people buy the companies' goods more.
Third, many television programs try to sell commercial goods. The aim of the programs is to show new and useful goods. They explain how useful and cheap the goods are. We are inspired that we might lose money when (if) we do not buy them. Then, we call the telephone number written on the screen just after watching the program.
To sum up, movies and television encourage people to buy goods. We watch many commercials, and we want the same stuff movie stars have. Some TV programs sell goods in the programs. We find that our economy is closely related to movies and television.

Question 8 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
Answer
I agree with the statement television has destroyed communicaiotion amoung people. We watch programs so often. It is one of the most popular entertainments. TV brings fun to every watcher. But we do not notice television gives bad influence on us. We become worse to communicate each other. Therefore, we have to be careful to watch programs.
First, babies who often watch TV programs can not communicate with people well. That baby does (They do) not cry and (are) silent always. It is proved scientifically. Nowadays, some parents have their baby watch educational VCRs. The babies have to watch them for many hours, and it (they) continues day by day. They (People) can not talk to the characters of the programs because the communication of TV is only one way. They have to watch without saying anything. Thus, it influences baby (babies) to be silent.
Second, children do not get out and play with other friends. They like animations, dramas, and music programs. They want to watch the programs more than getting out. Furthermore, they can not talk to their friends unless they watch the programs. Some children watch programs even if they do not want to watch them. Therefore, they spend much time to watch TV programs, not play with friends.
Third, people watch TV programs alone. Many family have more than one TV sets. They are reasonable compared to those of 30 years (ago). People can watch programs they want by moving to another room. They do not have to talk when watching these programs. ApparentlyObviously, I can declare that television destroys the communication of family.
Consequently, television has destroyed the communication of friends and family. It influences babies, children, and families. We have to notice the bad influence of TV programs.

Question 9 Some people prefer to live in a small town. Other prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
Answer
Personally, I prefer to live in a big city. It fascinates me very much. Although small towns have much attraction, big cities are more fantastic to live. I would like to mention why I want to live in a big city in the following sentences.
The first reason is that big cities are useful to live. They are filled with stores. We can buy whatever we want. On the other hand, it is impossible in small towns. It is hard to get stuff, and sometimes we have to get out the town to gain what we need. For example, small towns do not have big bookstores (book stores). Of course there are book stores even in small towns. But we do not always find specific books there. We just get magazines, novels and so on. We can imagine that quite a few people buy organic chemistry books there.
The second reason is that big cities are invigorated. There are many people living there. They try to live as hard as they can. They produce powerful energy. The energy fascinates me a lot. Moreover, many people move to big cities every day. Some have a dream for their future. Especially, the energy is come (comes) from young people. This young energy also stimulates me.
The last reason is that big cities have many art facilities. They have museums and concert halls. We can go there easily. Thus, it (there) is more possibility to be familiar with them. To go there or not is dependent on each person. But whether we have chance or not is important.
Therefore, I want to live in a big city. I like the energy of big cities, and they are useful to live. Moreover, we have more chance to commune with arts. It is hard to get everything written above in small towns.
Question 10 "When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success." Do you agree or disagree with the question above? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position.
Answer
Generally, hard work is one of the elements to succeed. But we must not turn away one more significant element, luck. Luck is important for successful business people. Without luck, they could not win in the business world. I am going to mention three reasons why luck is important for success.
The primary reason, which is the most important, is that business people have to catch quite a few business chances. Not all of the hard workers get a successful business chance. People who find a chance are lucky. After getting chance, they need to broaden their business by working hard. Only chance is not enough in (at) this stage. How they use their brain and work hard lead them to a success.
The second reason is that a business people need to find excellent colleagues. People can not work alone. Usually, they work in a group. The group members should also be celebrities. They collaborate for the same aim in the same business. To find brainy members is difficult. Only luck relates to this element.
The third reason is that not all of the successful business people work hard. Some do not work even if they succeed in business. For example, some people are succeeded to land from their father. They get money only by using the land to construct buildings (in the land). They can earn money from (the) rent fees (of offices or apartments). In this example, people do not work hard, but succeeded (to their father's) land. Actually, we will estimate that they are lucky because they could succeed (have) land from their father. If they do not succeed (obtain the) land, they might work in a company for small salary.
As a result, only hard work is not enough to succeed in the business world. People need to get luck. The reason why not all of the hard working people succeed is that they do not have luck. We must not ignore luck is necessary for our success.
Question 11 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Universities should give the same amount of money to their students' sports activities as they give to their uiversity libraries. Use specific reasons and examples to support your oppinion.
Answer
I disagree with the idea that sports and libraries use the same amount of money. Of course, both are important for every university. B, but they are completely different categories. Different categories do not have to use the same amount of money. I am going to mention three reasons below.
The first reason is that the importance of sports and libraries depends on each university. Some universities encourage sports, but the others do not. Universities which do no encourage sports do not have to use money to them. It is unique to universities. Students can choose a university before they enter it by such kind of information. To increase a variety kinds of universityies, each university can decide the budget freely.
The second reason is that there are more fields to use money. Why only sports and libraries are chosen? I guess that is because libraries are a symbol of academic field. However, universities can add money (to) other academic fields besides libraries. For example, they can use money to scientific laboratories. They need money very much. Universities do not have to adjust money to sports.
The third reason is that the amounts of money to use both sports and libraries change every year. In a year, they use more money to sports. By contrast, they do to libraries in another year. Using the same amount of money to both fields means when universities use more money to sports, they also add money to libraries. Practically speaking, the total amount of money is limited. When one increases, some should decrease. It is more reasonable to think that when sports use more money, libraries and other facilities have to use less money.
In sum, I do disagree both sports and libraries use the same amount of money. For universities, they can use the money according to their uniqueness. Universities can use money to many fields differently. Furthermore, the amounts of money to distribute each field change very year. Therefore, I strongly believe that using money differently encourages universities to be better.

Question 12 Many people visit museums when they travel to new places. Why do you think people visit museums? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Answer
Generally, people visit museums when visiting new places. I also visit them in new places. Museums stimulate our curiosity to the place. Without museums, we might be bored in the place. There are three reasons I will mention why people visit museums in new places.
Primary, we can know the history of the new place in museums easily. Museums have many artificial and historical works the place produced. They collect the works in a building, and categorize them by each age. We can know the change of the history of the region only by walking them. While, museums explain the works in detail. Travelers can read the explanations easily. They can get a chance to know the information by going to the museums
Secondary, we want to save our time by visiting museums. It is convenient to visit museums. When we travel, we can not use so much time. Time is limited in a place for travelers. We want to visit as many places as possible. Originally, things collected in a museum were spread in a wide region. It is hard for travelers to visit all of the places in their limited time.
Lastly, we can look at many famous works only in museums. It is impossible to look at famous paints besides museums. For example, we think the works of Picasso are collected in museums. Actually, some people collect his paintings, but they do not show them publicly. For this reason, when a collector sells a Picasso’s work, many museums try to buy it. If another collector buys it, nobody knows when the painting will be sold next. Museums give us a chance to look at the works.
Therefore, travelers visit museums when they visit new places. Museums are good places to know the history of the region. Travelers can save time, and they can look at famous works in museums. We can enjoy our travel by using museums efficiently.

Question 13 IELTS Some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants. Other people prefer to prepare and eat food at home. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Answer
Some people want to eat at home. It makes them relax, and it takes less money. Personally, however, I want to go and eat at a restaurant. This is more suitable for my life style. There are three reasons why going out for eating is better for me.
To begin with, I can save time when eating at a restaurant. I do not have to cook before eating. (Generally speaking, we consume much time when we eat at home.) Every time, we cook in our kitchen. Of course, we can buy a prepared food, but we do not do that every time (so often). Usually, we cook dishes even if it takes much time because it is cheaper. (Therefore,) Wwe have to consume much time when we eat at home. However, cooking is burdensome for me. I do not like to spend much time for eating. I go shopping, prepare foods before eating. Furthermore, I have to clean dishes up after a meal. I have to spend at least one hour every time.
Next, I can eat much better dishes at a restaurant. I am not a good cook. Whenever I cook, I have to eat very bad dishes. I also buy a prepared food at a convenience store. I feel good it sometimes, but I do not like to eat it every time (so often). I will be tired in a several times. The best way to avoid eating my bad dishes is to go to a restaurant.
Moreover, (we can eat many kinds of dishes at hand.) (The examples of dishes are French, Chinese, or Italian.) Pprofessional cooks serve the dishes I we ordered. I can eat dishes I We can not cook various dishes at hand because we tend to cook the same dishes at home. However, at a restaurant, I we (only) wait until they are served. Then I we can eat what I we can not cook by myself. It is extremely convenient. If I cook the same taste dish by myself, I need ten or more years for training. It is impossible for me. As I described above, I am not a good cook.
To sum up, I prefer to eat at a restaurant. I often go out to eat a meal. This is better than eating at home. Going out for eating has a lot of advantages for my life style.
