Note: On the IELTS test sheet, the following instruction appears after the
topic is given: Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant
examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250
words.
7.1 ADVERTISING
1. Today the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of
advertising and not the real needs of the society in which they are
sold. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
2. Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things that we
really do not need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new
products that may improve our lives. Which viewpoint do you agree
with?
3. In a recent survey conducted in this country, it was found that up to 20
percent of twelve-year-olds in some schools were showing early
signs of nicotine addiction. In the eighteen- to twenty-year age
bracket, the percentage was as high as 70 percent. A large
contributing factor to this high level of addiction was attributed to the
uncensored TV advertising of cigarettes. For this reason, all cigarette
advertising should be banned. Discuss.
7.2 ANIMALS
1. Zoos are sometimes seen as necessary but poor alternatives to a
natural environment. Discuss some of the arguments for and against
keeping animals in zoos.
2. Wild animals have no place in the twenty-first century, and trying to
preserve these animals is a waste of resources. To what extent do you
agree or disagree?
3. Animals also have emotions and feel pain equal to that of humans.
Therefore we should stop pharmaceutical companies from doing
trials on innocent animals. Do you agree or disagree?
4. Is animal testing necessary? Give your opinion with some examples.
