TWO-PART QUESTION ESSAY ✅ Typical Question Words There will normally be a statement and they will then ask you to answer to separate questions. 💠 Example Question 🔰 As most people spend a major part of their adult life at work, job satisfaction is an important element of individual wellbeing. ⚠️ What factors contribute to job satisfaction? ⚠️ How realistic is the expectation of job satisfaction for all workers? 📝 Structure ℹ️ Introduction Sentence 1- Paraphrase Question Sentence 2- Outline Sentence (mention both questions) ℹ️ Main Body Paragraph 1 Sentence 1- Answer first question directly Sentence 2- Explain why Sentence 3- Further explain Sentence 4- Example ℹ️ Main Body Paragraph 2 Sentence 1- Answer second question directly Sentence 2- Explain why Sentence 3- Further explain Sentence 4- Example ℹ️ Conclusion Sentence 1- Summary Sample Answer As the majority of adults spend most of their time at work, being content with your career is a crucial part of a person’s health and happiness. This essay will first discuss which elements lead to job satisfaction and it will then address the question of how likely it is that everyone can be happy with their job. The two most important things that lead to someone being satisfied at work are being treated with respect by managers and being compensated fairly. If those more senior than you respect you as a person and the job you are doing then you feel like you are valued. A fair salary and benefits are also important considerations because if you feel you are being underpaid you will either resent your bosses or look for another job. These two factors came top of a recent job satisfaction survey conducted by Monster.com, that found that 72% of people were pleased with their current role if their superiors regularly told them they were appreciated. With regards to the question of happiness for all workers, I think this is and always will be highly unlikely. The vast majority of people fail to reach their goals and end up working in a post they don’t really care about in return for a salary. This money is just enough to pay their living expenses which often means they are trapped in a cycle of disenchantment. For example, The Times recently reported that 89% of office workers would leave their jobs if they did not need the money. In conclusion, being satisfied with your trade or profession is an important part of one’s well-being and respect from one’s colleagues and fair pay can improve your level of happiness, however, job satisfaction of all workers is an unrealistic prospect.

🫥 Don't Change The World Long ago, people lived happily under the rule of a king. The people of the kingdom were very happy as they led a very prosperous life with an abundance of wealth and no misfortunes. Once, the king decided to go visiting places of historical importance and pilgrim centres at distant places. He decided to travel by foot to interact with his people. People of distant places were very happy to have a conversation with their king. They were proud that their king had a kind heart. After several weeks of travel, the king returned to the palace. He was quite happy that he had visited many pilgrim centres and witnessed his people leading a prosperous life. However, he had one regret. He had intolerable pain in his feet as it was his first trip by foot covering a long distance. He complained to his ministers that the roads weren't comfortable and that they were very stony. He could not tolerate the pain. He said that he was very much worried about the people who had to walk along those roads as it would be painful for them too! Considering all this, he ordered his servants to cover the roads in the whole country with leather so that the people of his kingdom can walk comfortably. The king's ministers were stunned to hear his order as it would mean that thousands of cows would have to be slaughtered in order to get sufficient quantity of leather. And it would cost a huge amount of money also. Finally, a wise man from the ministry came to the king and said that he had another idea. The king asked what the alternative was. The minister said, "Instead of covering the roads with leather, why don't you just have a piece of leather cut in appropriate shape to cover your feet?" The king was very much surprised by his suggestion and applauded the wisdom of the minister. He ordered a pair of leather shoes for himself and requested all his countrymen also to wear shoes. 📝 Moral: Instead of trying to change the world, we should try to change ourselves. ▶️ Advertising Cost & To Buy Ads: Click #Motivation #Reading #Story Join for more @IELTSMATERIALA ♡ ㅤ  ❍ㅤ  ㅤ  ⌲ ˡᶦᵏᵉ ᶜᵒᵐᵐᵉⁿᵗ ˢʰᵃʳᵉ

🔔 Ideas about "Housing and Architecture" ➡️ State / Council Housing 🏷 In some countries the government provides state or council housing. 🏷 This helps people who cannot afford to buy their own house. 🏷 It can be argued that state housing creates dependence on the government. 🏷 People should not rely on the government to look after them. 🏷 People have no incentive to earn money and buy their own home. 🏷 Council properties are often made with cheap, poor-quality materials. ➡️ Old Buildings 🏷 Historic buildings are part of a country’s heritage. 🏷 They should be protected. 🏷 Old buildings are often considered to be works of art. 🏷 They give character to cities and attract tourists. 🏷 They show us how people lived in the past. 🏷 We identify countries by architectural symbols like the pyramids in Egypt. 🏷 Governments should spend money on looking after historic buildings. 🏷 They need regular repairs and maintenance. 🏷 New buildings should be designed to complement them. ➡️ Modern / Green Buildings 🏷 Modern buildings should be designed to be environmentally friendly. 🏷 They should use less energy and produce less waste. 🏷 Modern insulation can make houses more energy-efficient. 🏷 Solar and wind power can be used to generate electricity. 🏷 Rainwater and waste water can be recycled and used to flush toilets. 🏷 Modern glass buildings take advantage of natural light. ▶️ Advertising Cost & To Buy Ads: Click #IELTS_ideas #Writing9 Join for more @IELTSMATERIALA ♡ ㅤ  ❍ㅤ  ㅤ  ⌲ ˡᶦᵏᵉ ᶜᵒᵐᵐᵉⁿᵗ ˢʰᵃʳᵉ
