I.Pros and 3ons of etreme4adventure sports.

Or @angerous activities li+e

etremes+iing! bungee umping etc. and whether u support them or
not. The popularity of etreme sports has continued to grow over the last
decade. Theseactivities are underta+en at high speed! high altitude! and
high degree of physicaleertion. "t is agreed that no amount of words are
adeAuate to convey the thrill of s+iing!deep sea diving! bungee umping!
water rafting or any other adventure sport. Thisargument can be proven by
loo+ing at how these +inds of sports teach self-reliance!teamwor+ and let
everyone leave their comfort *one.)irstly! the ris+-ta+ing sports help
in development of self-con$dence and independence.)or instance! by
successfully facing up the challenge of adventurous sports li+e roc+climbing! young people overcome their fears and apprehensions along the
way anddevelop a feeling of unusual accomplishment. This ma+es it clear
that climbing mountain!instead of an indoor game! helps in developing the
balance! using more muscle groups!and ta+ing on a ourney in an
uncontrolled environment that stimulates brain withcountless variables.
Thus! achieving your goals in an unpredictable weather! recogni*ingthe
thrill of beating storm and ma+ing it bac+ home safely result
in enhancement ofoverall personality of an adventurous person.Moreover!
many people are reluctant to try new things li+e mountain bi+ing!
scubadiving! white river rafting! Para-gliding etc.! thin+ing that they do not
possess the s+ills orhave an ability to enoy it. Encouraging people to try
new activities results in building upteam spirit! promoting positive attitude
and ma+ing them come out of their comfort *one. Thus! we can say that by
trying out dangerous sports! one can get rid-o: the negativefeeling and
develop a feeling of wor+ing as a team.Hoo+ing at the above! we can say
that adventure sports have many impressive bene$tsincluding problem
solving! improved communication s+ills! self-con$dence and teamwor+.
owever! it is recommended that these sports should be tried under
properguidance and supervision of a
guard./gainst 0hile every sport has a danger! etreme sports athletes are at
a high ris+ ofserious inuries. )or eample! bac+-country snowboarders are
+nown for riding on anunpredictable terrain where avalanches are
common. 6ince these o:-piste riders do notride on a groomed slope!
ha*ards such as large boulders and fallen trees can be easilyhidden under
large deposits of newly fallen snow. /s can be seen from this eample!even
a smallest misstep can plummet big wave surfers more than ?J feet below
thebrea+ing ocean waves. Thus! we can say that adventurous people are

prepared togamble their safety in search of adrenaline rush.K."n

education system! assessment through formal written e amination
still valid80ithout a doubt formal written eamination is used widely as
assessment criteria in mostof the educational institutes for decades. The
moot Auestion as to whether the formalwritten assessment is
still8Evaluation method of a student&s performance has always been an
area of contentionaround the world. Many believe that this can be done
by continual assessment of theirassignments and pro ect wor+. On the
other hand! people are also in favour of formaleamination. " believe the
latter is more appropriate option. This can be proved byanalysing the fact
that the homewor+ and proects done at home can be copied
and alsomemory of a student can be tested only through a formal
assessment.)irstly! the wor+ boo+ assignments submitted by the students
are not always done bythem. / study by education department of "ndia
proved that many parents help theirchildren in completion of assignments.
ot only this! the proects are also copied in orderto submit the same on
time. Thus! we can say that it is not a reliable method to udgestudent
capabilities.

6econdly! the eamination that is ta+en in education institutes ma+e

students learn theconcept and also memori*e the same that they have
studied in their class. Moreover!these are conducted in the presence of
invigilator. That restricts students to ta+e anyeternal help. This shows how
much grasping power does an individual have. Therefore!this can be
considered as a more reliable method of testing one&s ability. To conclude! loo+ing
at the discussion it is clear that advantages of formal testingoutweighs the
advantages of testing by assignments and pro ects. " believe the
methodshould be implied across the globe and it can be predicted that
many countries will adoptthis way of assessment because of its
e:ectiveness.L.Harge shopping malls are replacing small shops. 9our
opinion8 5ood or bad5OO@ This is a true fact to consider that present
world has become a global village. Therefore!people are motivated to buy
their necessities from competitive mar+et. /s a result! agreat number of
shopping malls has established in past two decades in almost all citiesof
the world. The Auestion whether this boom of mall's trend is positive
or negative is acomple issue! upon which opinion varies greatly. There are
reasons for people to believe that large shopping malls are important to

beestablished as multi stories shopping malls come with a large number of

stores and otherfacilities under one roof. )irst and foremost time saving
from shopping from such multi-comple buildings could be signi$cant
factor. "t may be de$ned as maority of themprefer to go to the
shopping malls rather than the single stores because varieties ofoptions
are available in one comple. )or eample! clothes! groceries! ban+s!
pharmacies!cinemas! food courts! and restaurants etc. are all available
under a single roof and peopleget better environment from such
establishment. There are some groups who are in favour of single shops
and opine that this trend shouldbe continued. They have their reasons as
well. "n spite of views discussed aboveregarding why large shopping malls
are ideal to the modern society. Par+ing problemscould be substantial
reason behind the opponent's viewpoint. There including
ecursivecrowding in the shopping comple! especially on wee+ends and
holidays. /s a resultshoppers have to spend a long time in the par+ing bays
rather than the shopping in smallshops. The prices in large shopping malls
are often unreasonable and people end uppurchasing more than they
actually need. The large shopping malls are not oftenconvenient for lower
and middle class population."n last! undoubtedly! whether shopping in a
large shopping comple or single small shopscould be matter of
discussion however! as far as " am concerned! big shopping mallshave
immense bene$ts to the modern society that outweigh the options
andconveniences o:ered by the small shops.,/@"n the fast-paced of life!
urban citi*ens li+e to buy daily items in big supermar+et chainsrather than
shopping in small stores and local mar+ets. "t is argued that chief
amongcauses this! are convenience and hygienic environments. 9et
there remains somedisagreement as to whether the overall e:ect of
shopping at the chains has been positiveor negative. " personally believe
that the drawbac+s of this tendency far outweigh itsbene$ts. This argument
will be analysed how buying products in the supermar+ets canlead to lose
local identity and the price will be controlled by chains)irst of all! it is an
undeniable fact that the huge supermar+et chains are seriouslyeroding the
features of the local district. )or instance! in ong Dong! a lot of small
uniAueretail stores were closed down due to big multiple shops that can
a:ord to pay high rent. Therefore! all the shops will become homogenous
and lose the local characteristics./dmittedly! although " certainly agree that
this +ind of mar+et is convenient! it hasseverely violated the regional
identity.6econdly and even more importantly! the supermar+ets will
monopoli*e the mar+et andcontrol the price due to less and wea+
competitors. To illustrate! they can set up

https://www.scribd.com/doc/306938314/PTE-Essays-With-Solution

eorbitant price of their products because customers only can buy it from
them. Thus itcreates an unbalanced mar+et and also deprives consumers&
right to search for morea:ordable alternatives. "t is obvious from this that
this development has indeed beenbad.)ollowing this loo+ at how losing
the local identity and dominate prices by thesupermar+et! it is proven that
shopping in the large mar+ets is an unfavourabledevelopment. /lso! "
believe that it seems highly advisable for residents to consume inlocal
mar+ets.1J.owadays! people spend too much time at wor+ to the e tent
that they hardlyhave time for their personal life. @iscuss. 0O>D H")E
,/H/3EHong wor+ing hours are the norm these days and that is hardly
surprising. "n thiscompetitive ob scenario people are forced to wor+
harder and harder. 0hen peoplespend more hours wor+ing! they get less
time for themselves. This is not necessarily apositive development because
it can lead to health problems as well as the disruption offamilies and
personal relationships.)or one thing! there is absolutely nothing to prove
that long wor+ing hours improveproductivity. "n fact! when people wor+
longer than they should! what happens is thattheir productivity decreases.
They fail to concentrate and ta+e longer to $nish obs. Traveling far for
wor+ doesn&t help either. "n many maor cities people often have to
travelseveral hours to reach their wor+ place. 0hen at last! they reach home
braving the tra%cand a hard-wor+ing day! they have little energy left in
them. "n addition! studies haveproved that people who spend long hours in
the o%ce are also more li+ely to developmaor health problems li+e heart
disease and dementia.0e have already seen that long wor+ing hours

doesn&t necessarily translate intoimproved productivity. /nother problem

with this set up is the e:ect it has on a person&sfamily and social life. 0hen
people spend long hours in the o%ce! they get little time tospend with their
dear ones. Parents! who wor+ long hours! often fail to ta+e proper care
of their young children. This can be Auite a problem in families where both
parents wor+.0hen children are deprived of the attention they deserve! it
will a:ect their emotionalwell-being. "t can also have a negative impact on
their academic performance. "netreme cases! failure to stri+e a balance
between wor+ and life can lead to the brea+upof families./s eplained
above! long wor+ing hours are in nobody&s interest. They don&t improve
anindividual&s productivity. "n fact! they ma+e them less productive.
0hat&s more! whenpeople spend more time in the o%ce! their family life
su:ers. "n other words proper wor+-life balance is absolutely essential to
lead a contented life. "t is hoped that companiesarrange their wor+ing
hours in such a way that employees also get some
time forthemselves. 11."t is usually foolish to get married before completing
your studies and gettingestablished in a good ob8 @o you agree or
disagree(.5etting married before $nishing studies and getting employed can
be arduous at times./lthough some people may believe in getting married
prior to settle their career! " wouldstill advocate that getting married later is
much better as one can focus on his career. There are numerous
disadvantages to getting married while still a student. "t can create agreater
problem when you are dependent on parents to support you. There is
theprobability of more tension on the part of both sets of parents. Epecting
your parents tocontinue paying your tuition as though you were still a child
once you have chosen tota+e on the very adult responsibility of marriage
can also create tension./nother reason to wait is the time constraint
on enrolled newlyweds. ,alancing time athome! adusting to a new life and
spending time on academics is a daunting tas+!regardless of how
organi*ed you are. Married college students are often left with notenough
time to do housewor+! study or have couple time. Hittle time is left for each
otherso there&s less time to wor+ on personal growth and the marriage.
