Alternative energy sources that use the natural power of the wind, waves and sun are too expensive and complicated to replace the coal, oil and gas that we use to power our cities and transport. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this?
Alternative energy is thought by some to be the answer to our reliance on fossil fuels, as sources of alternative energy are low emitters of CO2 and are a sustainable means of providing electrical power. Critics of 'green energy' contend that current technologies are either too costly or impractical to realistically replace our current energy needs.
The advantages of 'green energy' are obvious. There is no need to worry about dwindling supplies of progressively more expensive resources. Solar power will never run out and, once initial costs are paid off, the electricity is basically free. These sources of energy have another major benefit in the shape of their low emissions. Although there are emissions costs in the building of wind turbines or hydroelectric power stations, there is no further air pollution or the risk of environmental contamination.
This notion of a perfect world of free and non-polluting energy does draw criticism, however. It is obvious that solar power won't work at night or that not every country has a coastline, rivers or windy hills. It is also a problem that replacing our current energy supply will entail expensive research and development, which, in turn, involves government cooperation. One last obstacle to the adoption of ‘green energy' is nuclear power. Many countries see the huge energy production from this power source as a more practical solution than messing around with the wind and waves.
In conclusion, there is little doubt that we will soon need to wean ourselves off fossil fuels and on to an alternative fuel source. The only real question is whether we risk the costs and delays of green energy or choose the productive, but potentially dangerous, nuclear option. #essay

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share with you the incredible experiences I've had this year. It's been absolutely amazing! I finally had the opportunity to travel to some of the dream countries that were on my bucket list for so long. The sights, the people I've met, and the experiences I've gathered have been nothing short of extraordinary.
Each memory I've collected along this journey feels like a treasure, something I'll hold onto for a lifetime. The chance encounters, the new perspectives gained, and the lessons learned from immersing myself in different cultures have left an indelible mark on me. I truly believe moments like these only come once in a lifetime, and I feel immensely fortunate to have experienced them this year.
How was yours? Any special moments in 2023? Have you had any adventures or learned any life lessons that left a lasting impact?
😅😬 My goal for 2024 is to complete my goals of 2023 which I had set in 2022 while wasting 2021.

Each year, the crime rate increases. What are the causes of crime and what could be done to prevent this rise in criminal activity?
Crime is an issue of increasing concern around the world, and more money than ever before is being spent on the detection and punishment of criminal activity. The reasons why people commit crime are countless, but drugs and alcohol, social problems and poverty play a major role. To solve these problems, governments can either focus on draconian punishments, or improve employment opportunities, invest in good housing projects and tackle drug and alcohol abuse.
One of the main causes of criminality is the use, sale and trafficking of narcotics. For example, the sale of drugs is organised by armed criminal gangs who illegally traffick drugs and control their business with extreme violence. Drug-related crime does not end there; drug users often steal to fund their habit, resulting in further acts of petty crime. The social problems connected with crime are said to be the result of single-parent families, absent role models and bad living conditions. The children from these broken families often become criminals because they feel alienated from society. Poverty is also a reason behind crime. When unskilled jobs pay so little and prices are so high, it's easy to see why some turn to crime for an income.
Dime can of, course, be dealt with by toughening criminal laws and introducing longer custodial sentences for persistent criminals, but some of the best ways to deal with crime may be to deal with the social causes. Increasing employment opportunities in poorer areas would improve living standards, which would mean access to affordable housing and education. Government funding for drug and alcohol rehabilitation programmes would help reduce dependency on stimulants and the need for the criminal activity that surrounds them.
In conclusion, crime is a major issue, but cracking down on offenders with a harsh penal system is not the only way. These problems can be solved through the government providing jobs and funding which should raise living standards and dramatically reduce
crime levels.

What makes IELTS band 8 different from 7.5 and 7 in the speaking test? 🧐
When you get to the higher bands like 7 and up, the difference tends to be errors and complexity of ideas/grammar/vocabulary.
• A Band 7 candidate 👉🏼 makes their ideas clear, uses accurate grammar/vocabulary most of the time and there aren’t any breakdowns in communication.
• A Band 7.5 candidate 👉🏽 can present more complex ideas and use some more complex grammar/vocabulary when needed. This might contain some errors but meaning isn’t lost.
• A Band 8.0 candidate 👉🏾 can present more complex ideas, use more complex grammar/vocabulary pretty freely and makes very few errors. Meaning isn’t lost.
This is very general as everyone is different but you get the idea. #Speaking

Although more and more people read news on the Internet, newspaper will remain the most important source of news. Do you agree or disagree?
The Internet is beginning to rival newspapers as the best place to find information about what is happening in the world. I believe that this trend will continue, and the Internet will soon be just as important as the traditional ones.
On the one hand, I believe that newspapers will continue to be a vital source of information, even in the Internet age. Firstly, newspapers are the most traditional means of communicating the news, and not everyone wants to or is able to use the Internet instead. For example, old people or those in rural areas might not have the ability of opportunity to get online, while many of us simply prefer newspapers even if we do have Internet access. Secondly, newspapers can be trusted as reliable sources of news because they employ professional journalists and editors. Finally, many people like the experience of holding and reading a paper rather than looking at a computer screen.
However, the Internet is likely to become just as popular as newspapers for a variety of reasons. The main reason is that it allows us much faster access to news in real time and wherever we are, on different gadgets and mobile devices. Another key benefit of online news compared to newspapers is the ability to share articles, discuss them with other people, give our views, and even contribute with our own updates on social media. For example, there has been an explosion in the use of platforms like Twitter and YouTube where anyone can share their news and views. A final point is that this source of news is less damaging to the environment.
In conclusion, I disagree with the view that newspapers will continue to be the main source of news, because I believe that the Internet will soon be equally important.
