Essay number 281
Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every
subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In my opinion, men and women should have the same educational opportunities.
However, I do not agree with the idea that universities should fix equal number of
seats for both genders in all subjects.
To begin with, it would not be practical to have the same number of men and women
in all courses. Many courses are more popular with one gender than the other, and it
would not be practical to aim for equal proportions. For example, nursing course is
more popular among female applicants, and mechanical engineering is more
common among the male applicants. This would lead to many seats remaining
vacant and many deserving candidates would not get the course of their choice.
Secondly, universities should select the best candidates for each course according
to their qualifications. In this way, both men and women have the same
opportunities, and applicants know that they will be successful if they work hard to
achieve good grades at school. The main reason why some people say that
universities should have equal numbers of both genders in all subjects is that they
want to remove discrimination against women who have lesser chances of higher
education in many societies. However, taking such a step could lead to negative
discrimination against the men.
Finally, it could be argued that such a step could lead to unwilling students in a few
courses. What sort of graduates would the society have of students who have
studied half-heartedly just because of the fact that they could not get into the subject
of their choice. What is more, the numbers of drop-outs would also increase and
many would not complete their higher education.
In conclusion, the selection of university students should be based on merit, and it
would be both impractical and unfair to change to a selection procedure based on
gender.

Providing children with pocket money on a weekly basis can benefit them in the
future. Do you agree or disagree?
I definitely agree that providing children with a little amount of pocket money on a
weekly basis is helpful to their development. In the following paragraphs, I shall put
forth my arguments to support my views.
Firstly, giving children a small amount of money every week helps their early
understanding of financial matters. For example, my parents gave me 25 rupees as
pocket money per week when I was at school. Initially I used to spend it frivolously
on items of little value such as candies and ice cream. However, as time went on, I
came to understand that if I saved this money I could buy things like a dress or a pair
of fashionable shoes. So, I started saving money. This habit has been permanently
inculcated in my character and today I manage my money well and buy the things I
want. postponed the spending of his dollar his overall wealth accumulated and this
allowed him to buy items of greater value. As this example shows, providing children
with pocket money every week leads them to have constructive experiences
regarding financial issues.
Secondly, parents who issue their children a minute weekly allowance encourage the
development of their child‘s sense of responsibility. For instance, in my own
childhood I was given very small amounts of money every week and allowed to
spend it freely. I feel having control over the use of these funds was one of the first
major steps I took in my life towards learning how to become a responsible person.
As my personal story shows, providing children with pocket money is a positive
thing.
After analyzing how giving children a little cash on a weekly basis develops their
financial comprehension and level of responsibility, it has been proven that this
practice is more positive than negative. Thus, parents are encouraged to consider
adopting this regime.

Essay number 283
People who fail at school will often succeed in adult life. Why it is happening? Give
reasons and also give some examples.
It is often seen that some students who are not very brilliant in school time become
very successful in their adult life. There could be many reasons for this phenomenon,
a few of which I shall put forth in this essay.
To begin with it could be said that some students may not be good at studies, but
may have some talent in them which could make them reach the pinnacle of their
careers and they could become rich and successful. For example, one of my class
fellows always used to fail at school, but he was a born singer. He took part in a
reality show of singing and reached the third last elimination round. Although he did
not win the show, but ever since then he has his evenings booked for shows and he
is earning handsomely well.
Another reason could be attributed to the education system which relies on rote
learning and in which too much emphasis is given to theory and very little to
practical. Because of this some intelligent students may be left behind in studies and
those with good rote learning capability could pass with flying colours. Later on in
life, when they enter the world of work, they may succeed in life because of their
practical skills. Furthermore, some students may be very good at some sports or
other extracurricular activities. They may succeed in life because they work hard in
those sports and excel in them. Who has not heard of the famous cricketer Sachin
Tendulkar. He was a school drop-out and failed his board exams.
Some children are born with a silver spoon in their mouth. They may take school
very non-seriously but may be very successful in life because they may get business
tactics from their parents which may make life smooth sailing for them. The son of
the biggest cloth merchant of my home town is a school dropout but he has got very
good business acumen and today he is earning much more than the highly educated
elite of my home town.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, there are many reasons why many,
who fail at school succeed in adult life but such examples are not very common and
a lot many school failures have to struggle throughout their lives.

July 2011 essay ( Sakshi and Neha)
( written by Sakshi)
―A new broom sweeps well, but an old broom knows the corners.‖
In today‘s scenario, every student wants to do job after completing studies.
Consequently, it is generally observed in the field of work that they lack basic
interpersonal skills such as ability to work with colleagues due to less team spirit.
This essay shall delve into the causes of this problem and I shall put forth some
relevant solutions.
To begin with, only new employees are not to blame for their lack of basic skills. In
fact, the new employees suffer a complete change in environment. When they are
subjected to work field from the learning environment, then sometimes they fail to
adjust to the new one. Moreover, the education system is also responsible to some
extent. In our system, it is more important to get good marks rather than to have any
other skill. Also practical education does not have much importance. In short, the
system insists to learn theoretical portion rather than the practical one which is the
basic requirement to do any job. What is more, nowadays competition among
students is also at its peak. Consequently, there is lack of team spirit among
students and so, later they find it difficult to work as a team.
Like other problems, it also has some possible solutions. Firstly, the old employees
and employers should provide friendly surroundings to their new colleagues.
Secondly, the education system should be improved. Students should be made
excellent in practical. Thirdly, there must be proper training session after every
course completion, even for the students who want to become teachers. Finally,
there must be additional classes of communication skills and debate competitions
from time to time. Also, students should be given team projects as it would teach
them the skills of co-operation and co-ordination.
From my experience of life, we had a mathematics teacher, who was a scholar in her
school time, but she lacked the ability to present her views. Also she did not have
good rapport with other teachers. So, she had to resign from her job. Inspite of her
higher degrees she was unable to get a job.
To put it a nutshell, it is undeniable fact that the new employees may lack the basic
interpersonal skills but improvement in educational system and co-operative
behaviour of colleagues can help to overcome the problem.
