SAMPLE ANSWER

The graph shows how the populations of India and China have changed since 2000 and how
they will change in the future.

In 2000, there were more people living in China than in India. The number of Chinese was
1.25 bill ion, while India's population was about 1 billion. Between 2000 and the present,
there has been a 0.2 billion rise in the number of Indian citizens. Over the same period,
China's population has increased by 0.1 billion to reach over 1.35 billion.

According to the graph, the population in India will increase more quickly than in China, and
experts say that by 2030, both countries will have the same population of 1.45 billion. After
this, China's population is likely to fall slightly to 1.4 billion in 2050, while India's population
will probably increase and reach 1.6 billion.

Thus, over the 50-year period, India is going to experience steady growth in its population
and it will overtake China. On the other hand, China's population will peak in 2030 and then
begin to fall.

TASK 2

SAMPLE ANSWER

Sports not only improve the skills and abilities of athletes, but it also helps them kerb their
lust for the thrill, adventure and passion. Sports competitions often result in brilliant and
breathtaking performances which only amuse its viewers but helps competitors to explore
and gauge their true potential. Few people believe that risky sports should be prohibited,
while others do not agree in imposing a ban. This essay will analyse the merits and demerits
associated with menacing games to present an opinion in a conclusive way.

People believe that threatening games like boxing, wrestling, rafting, bull fighting; car racing
and so on should be prohibited as there are myriad risks associated with it. Proponents of
this viewpoint argue that these sporting activities not only put the life of contestant in
jeopardy but at times also harm its spectators that have flocked from different places to
watch their favourites in action. They say that sportsmen get severely injured and often killed,
loss of life or an injury leads them to a miserable life and results in the destruction of their
families. For instance, several horrific accidents in Formula One Grand Prix car race have
resulted in the loss of life of several spectators and drivers. Moreover, these fatal accidents
sometimes demoralise others to take part in different games. Another example is of wrestling
where hard punches on the head often cause mental and nervous systems disorders.

On the contrary, another school of thought believes that these sports should not be banned
as they help sportsmen to kerb their desire for thrill and adventure. They say that people love
challenges and they want to gauge their core skills and explore their strength through these
sports. These sporting activities depict the real courage and zeal of the competitors. It
improves their decision-making skills under extreme conditions because a single wrong
move can have severe consequences. Moreover, they argue that rather than banning these
sports, organisers and professional athletes should adopt safety measures like using
protective guards, deploy reinforced wall in front of spectators on a race track and so on.
Furthermore, stunning performances showcased in these events wins the heart of thousands
and make them happy.

To recapitulate, the aforementioned provide plausible argument over both views. I personally
believe that unsafe sports should not be banned rather proper safety measures and
regulations should be implemented to make them safe for athletes and spectators.
