Some sports are extremely dangerous but many people still like them very much.
Why do people take part in dangerous sports? Give some suggestions on how to
deal with these dangers.
In recent years we have seen a considerable rise in dangerous or extreme sports.
This essay shall discuss some of the main reasons why people engage in such
sports and suggest ways in which some risks involved in such sports can be
reduced.
The main reason why people go for dangerous sports is that they get the thrill out of
them. They like taking risks. They like to challenge their abilities and potentials. They
feel a sense of satisfaction when they come face to face with fears while bungee
jumping, rock climbing and so on. In addition, going through a dangerous experience
gives them courage and confidence to face the hurdles of their daily life.
Another reason for pursuing such sports is that there is a lot of fame and money
involved in them. They get attention by doing stunts on motorcycles and jumping
from tall buildings. They make headlines in newspapers and TV News Channels.
They feel great when their name comes in the Guinness Book of World Records.
Once they get famous they get a lot of money also. For instance, many businesses
hire them to endorse their products. They also get jobs on the basis of such skills.
Many steps can be taken to reduce the risks are that involved. Firstly, these sports
should be done under strict supervision. All safety precautions should be taken.
Such sports should be performed after sufficient training and under supervision of
adults. Sport companies which cater to such sports should require a licence for
providing such training. Some people suggest banning some sports. However, I do
not believe that banning is a good solution. We all know that forbidden fruits taste
sweeter and people will do such sports in hiding which would increase the risks
involved.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, people do such sports for fun, for
money and for fame. However, such sports should be performed after sufficient
training from licensed companies and under some supervision.

People try new dangerous sports such as sky-diving or rock climbing. Should such
sports be banned?
In recent years we have seen a considerable rise in dangerous or extreme sports.
Although I do not support an outright ban on such sports, I do feel that the
government should regulate such sports so that they are played under supervision
which will minimize the risks.
It is irrefutable that dangerous or extreme sports can cause injury or even death to
the individuals. However, banning such sports is not the answer. Instead, the
government should ensure that the companies or centres which provide the facilities
for such sports should meet the required, legal safety standards. Another argument
against banning is that then people would play them in hiding and then they would
be even more risky. After all we all know that forbidden fruits taste sweeter.
Furthermore, if government bans such sports, it could be viewed as an infringement
of the rights. Those who choose to participate in these sports know the
consequences. They know very well what is good or bad for them. They argue that if
such sports are banned, then all those other things that are harmful for individuals
should be banned like smoking, drinking and eating fast foods.
What is more, those sportsmen who excel in such sports bring name and fame to
their country. They break records set by others and when they do so, the name of
their country shines in the whole world.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, such sports should be performed after
sufficient training and under supervision of experts. Dangerous sport companies
should require a license for providing such training. To lay a ban on such sports is
not the answer.

When families have a meal together it is considered social activity. Do you think
eating together is important to people in your country?
It is irrefutable that eating together is a social activity. Sharing dinner together gives
everyone a sense of identity. It can help ease day-to-day conflicts, as well as
establish traditions and memories that can last a lifetime.
The first and foremost advantage of eating together is that it creates a sense of
belonging. Conversations during the meal provide opportunities for the family to
bond
and learn from one another. It‘s a chance to share information and news of the
day, as well as give extra attention to your children and teens. Family meals foster
warmth, security and love, as well as feelings of belonging. It can be a unifying
experience for all.
Secondly, family mealtime is the perfect opportunity to teach appropriate table
manners, etiquette, and social skills. Parents can be perfect role models in this and
children learn by following them. What is more, meals prepared and eaten at home
are usually more nutritious and healthy. They contain more fruits, vegetables, and
dairy products along with additional nutrients such as fiber, calcium, vitamins A and
C, and folate.
Furthermore, research shows that frequent family dinners (five or more a week), are
associated with lower rates of smoking, drinking, and illegal drug use in pre-teens
and teenagers when compared to families that eat together two or fewer times per
week. To add to it, children do better in school when they eat more meals with their
parents and family.
In my country most people do value shared mealtime. However, the fast paced life
and influence of the global culture is taking some away from this custom.
Fortunately, some recent studies have shown that even in the developed countries
people are realizing the importance of family meals and are downshifting. It is indeed
time to bring the "family" back to the dinner table.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that eating together is definitely an
important social activity. That is
why it has been said that, ‗The family that eats
together stays together‘.

Essay Number 4
Some people say that pa
rents have the most important role in a child‘s development.
However, others argue that other things like television or friends have the most
significant influence. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Human development is a complex interplay of many factors. Some individuals are of
the opinion that parents have the most significant role in a child‘s development
whereas others opine that friends and other environmental factors such as TV have
a more important role. It is necessary to look at both arguments before forming an
opinion.
Parents have direct interactions with the children. They provide a sense of
identification to the child. These have their greatest effect on intellectual
development and character traits. They also play a very important role in the
socializing process of the child. Right from the bed time stories to the behavioral
habits parents play a very important role in making a child a responsible citizen.
They know their child‘s temperament better than anyone else. They can provide
critical input better than anyone else. That is why it is believed by some that parents
have the strongest role in a child‘s development.
Friends, on the other hand, are important in order to help children grow emotionally
and socially. Children find out who they are by comparing themselves to others.
They learn about attitude, character and personality. Building good relationships
boosts a child‘s self esteem and they find comfort in those friendships when things
get tough such as losing a pet or facing family problems. Therefore, friendships are
essential to assure children develop a healthy psyche. When kids are surrounded by
friends or have one close friend, they have better self esteem, feel a sense of well
being and experience fewer social problems.
Television is also one of the most prevalent media influences in kids' lives. How
much impact TV has on children depends on many factors: how much they watch,
their age and personality, whether they watch alone or with adults, and whether their
parents talk with them about what they see on TV.
In my opinion, we cannot generalize as to what has more significance. In the early
years family generally has more impact but in adolescence peers and TV may
impact more. It appears that the power of the peer group becomes more important
when the family relationships are not close or supportive. For example, if the parents
work extra jobs and are largely unavailable, their children may turn to their peer
group for emotional support.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that behavior is affected by a complex
interaction of many different factors such as parents, peers and environment. All
these are inextricably linked in the development of children. There is individual
variation and therefore it is difficult to generalize which factor plays the most
significant role.

Essay Number 5
Wild animals have no place in the 21st century, and the protection is a waste of
resources. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
I disagree with the notion that wild animals are redundant in the current century and
therefore we need not waste our precious resources in protecting them. I believe that
the conservation of these species should be our top priority as they are our most
precious resources. In the following paragraphs I shall put forth my arguments to
support my views.
The most important reason for saving wild animals is that they are part of our
ecosystem. Every species of wildlife plays a role to maintain the balance of life on
Earth. Thus, the loss of any species can affect us directly or indirectly. Let us
consider species to be like a brick in the foundation of a building. We can probably
lose one or two or a dozen bricks and still have a standing house. But by the time we
have lost 20 per cent of species, we are going to destabilize the entire structure.
That's the way ecosystems work.
Secondly, wild animals provide many valuable substances such as medicine and fur.
The horn of the rhinoceros has medicinal value and the fur of the mink is very
valuable. The recreational viewing of animals at zoos is also a source of revenue.
Thus, the financial value of wild species is important to the economies of many
nations.
Finally, wild animals have aesthetic appeal. They are beautiful creatures of nature
and are a part of our bio-diversity. Their beautiful and mysterious life has enchanted
mankind since the dawn of evolution. Scientists have been awed by observing their
behavior. Such study has helped scientists understand how the human body
functions and why people behave as they do. Scientists have also gained medical
knowledge by studying the effect of many drugs on these animals.
In conclusion, the protection of wild animals in the 21st century is by no means a
waste of resources. In fact it should be the most important global priority today. I pen
down by a quotation
– ―Scientists know we must protect species because they are
working
