  33. Dear Liz.
    I would like to thank you by providing us the exercising Essay so can build our own habit of writing the best ones at the IELTS exams. I also would appreciate if after reading my essay if you can assess it with the score.

    Capitalization of critical professions like Medicals and Teaching has forced the professionals to leave their country and go to foreign countries for the better financial benefits.
    In poorer or under-developed countries, due to high population, lack of better future opportunities, better facilities, etc are some of the main reasons why we are finding shortage of good doctors and teachers especially in rural areas.

    To explain this situation, I would like to put forward an example. The fund requirements to be a medical practitioner has increased to such a height that if one becomes the same then he has to transform him/herself from social service provider to the businessman. In rural and semi urban areas do not have so much of an opportunity to recover their so called Investment to be a Doctor. On the other hand, some of the foreign developed countries are offering so much of lucrative financial packages which they just can not ignore. The same goes along with teaching and other professions too.
    The above scenario is very much common now a days and this has resulted in the real shortages of good doctors and other professionals. Its not wrong to mention that even before completing their degree course, youth is having very concrete plan to go abroad for either further study or for permanent settlement. Even parents expect the same as they now want to recover their Investment from their children.

    In my opinion, reduction in fees structure and creation of awareness to serve the country should be the priority for the Educational Institutes and the Local Government to convince doctors, teachers and other professional to stay up in their native country and serve the people.

  34. Problem /solution essay
    An essay with two body paragraphs.. One for problems and the another for the solutions
    I encountered essays with high bands that they might expand their body paragraphs. For example, they write two body paragraphs for two different kinds of problems and then a one for the solution(s). Is that safe?

  35. Type:argumentative essay
    Need:five paragraphs
    About: p(a) intrudaction p(b),(c)and(d)about subject p(e) conclusion

  36. Causes and solutions essay.
    We need 4 paragraphs.
    1. introduction
    2. Body paragraph 1
    3. Body paragraph 2
    4. conclusion

  37. Problem/solution
    Problems:
    Brain-drain leaving poore country dwellers at low levels of amenities as all the skilled persons travel. Leading to further unhealthy, not well-educated generations

    Undue burden on cities infrastructure (communication network, transport system,housing)

    BP2 solutions
    Adopt new employments strategies and enforce equatible laws to provide the employers suitable wages commonsurate with theis skills and academic background.thus they woulg fulfill themselves and achieve their career prospects in their hometown rather than travelling and searching for it in elsewhere.
    2 improve amenities and facilities in the poor countries to boost the job opportunities and create a healthy work environment for all graduates,encouraging them to start their carrer path and apply their knowledge in their countries.
    Such as: schools shoul be well-equipped with state-of-the-art equipments.
    Hospitals, factories.

    Hoping to impress you my lovely teacher..
    Thanks liz
    My speaking exam will be on this Thursday
    And other sections on saturday ksa
    I will post the questions here .
    Finger crossed and panic panic panic☹️☹️

    • For speaking, be chatty and open. Continue talking until the examiner moves on. Remember it is an informal speaking test and each question is a chance to showcase your English (in a natural way). Add more to your part 2 talk, add past memories, future hopes, descriptions, comparisons and also a second conditional statement – this will boost your score for grammar and vocab (as well as fluency of course). For other tips, see this page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-exam-tips-on-the-day/. Good luck !! 🙂

This paragraph can be divided in to two as well if we are covering merits and demerits. Second for the resolution of the problem or what can be done in order to resolve this problem.
