IELTS Writing Task 2 

 Sample Answer 2

Band 7

                Many individuals are willing to put up with poor or unenjoyable conditions because of a lack of money or work they dislike. In contrast, others believe it is vital to do all possible to improve one's status. I feel it is essential to overcome pessimism and to follow a promising path.

            On the one hand, some find it difficult to cope with a job they do not like. They begin to believe that if they change their job, their circumstances will become better as a result. However, it can not be guaranteed that finding a new job will bring about any improvements to their circumstances. There may be massive differences in the level of work ethic and job security in different companies. Thus, for them, accepting the existing circumstances is always preferable to fighting a losing battle. The best example of this is that one has to accept the death of a dear one, as they can not do anything to reverse the situation.

      On the other hand, some people view that actively working to rectify their circumstances is significantly better. It is so because they believe that everything will deteriorate if they never do anything. In other words, if someone has a paucity of money, it becomes necessary for them to find a job or find the right ways to earn money. Failing to do so may pose a threat to their survival. As a result, the rule of acceptance fails in this case. For example, according to a recent survey conducted by the Times of India, over 63% of people agreed that they confront odd situations and fight to improve them.

            To summarize, except for a few uncontrollable conditions, such as the loss of a loved one or terminal illness, people should constantly strive to improve a terrible situation in order to live a better life.

                      When it comes to coping with difficult circumstances, such as unpleasant work or a lack of money, many individuals hold opposed positions. While some believe in accepting the situation as it is, others believe in attempting to change it till one is pleased. Nonetheless, I think that individuals should constantly aim for work happiness and a wage that meets their financial requirements.

                    Individuals who accept an unsatisfying job are often afraid of losing their safety net. According to surveys, particularly of private-sector workers, they are very dissatisfied with their present jobs but are reluctant to seek employment with another firm.This hesitancy is only due to fear of failure and the inherent risk of attempting anything new.

                        On the other side, some individuals are ready to work diligently to achieve life contentment. They prefer to fight when they are young when they have the power to overcome any obstacles that may arise. These individuals are adamant about living a happy, fulfilling, and financially secure existence. I agree that despite the difficulty and danger involved, doing it properly is still rewarding.

                        In conclusion, I would assert that those who are prepared to take chances and accept failure in the pursuit of long-term job satisfaction tend to improve the situation, while others just accept it as-is. However, I think that one should aim for long-term happiness rather than settling for less than pleasure out of fear of failure.

                            When it comes to dealing with a bad situation, such as an unsatisfactory job or a lack of money, many people have opposing views. Many believe in accepting the situation as it is, while others believe that one should try and improve it until he/she is satisfied. However, I believe that people should always strive for job satisfaction and a salary that allows them to meet their financial needs.

                       People who tend to accept an unsatisfactory job are the ones who probably do not want to look further because of the fear of losing their safety net. Surveys done, especially on the private sector employees, claim that they are extremely unhappy with their current job, but they feel hesitant to try and look for a job at any other company. This hesitation is only because of the fear of failure and the risk associated with trying something new.

                       On the other hand, some people are willing to work hard for life satisfaction. They prefer to struggle while they are young, and have the strength to face any downfalls that come along their way. These kinds of people are determined to have a life that is happy, satisfying and financially stable. I agree that, despite the hardship and risk involved, it is still worthwhile to do it well.

                            To conclude, I would say people who are willing to take risks and face failure for long-term satisfaction at work tend to improve the situation, while others just accept it as it is. However, I believe that one should try to strive for long-term happiness rather than settle down unhappily because of the fear of failure.

                            When it comes to dealing with a bad situation, such as an unsatisfactory job or a lack of money, many people have opposing views. Many believe in accepting the situation as it is, while others believe that one should try and improve it until he/she is satisfied. However, I believe that people should always strive for job satisfaction and a salary that allows them to meet. There is little question that the last 50 years have seen a larger shift in how people perceive a bad state. Indeed, it is definitely beneficial to face different circumstances in order to develop a difficult situation. The acceptance issue, since significant arguments have been made for and against a situation that has a detrimental effect on an individual's There is little debate that during the previous half-century, people have started to see a dismal condition in a new light. As it turns out, dealing with diverse situations enables one to get an understanding of the kinds of situations they may face in the future. Despite much evidence in favour of the argument and much evidence against it, it is possible to find some who do not want to accept the fact that there is a circumstance that can impair an individual's competence and ability.

                    Certainly, the situation is dire, but there are a few silver linings. One major benefit is that people are required to approach tasks with more self-confidence, since they want to develop their latent talents. Individuals opt to accept a difficult situation in order to boost their confidence. It is true that when faced with adversity in life, one develops skills, which are undoubtedly beneficial to an individual's overall development. Second, choosing a hazardous job teaches people to be committed employees, since they desire to better their situation. You must work long hours, which instantly increases your output and earnings, which is one of the most effective ways to get community recognition.

               Overcoming difficulties is also essential for having a successful life, since acquiring new methods and tactics aids in the development of an individual's cognitive abilities. Rather than those who are unable to adjust their behaviour and routines in response to changes, those who can modify their behaviour and routines are considered smarter.

               To conclude, I believe that tolerance for adverse circumstances in the job and at home is necessary for a civilised member of society.

                           There is little room for doubt that the last 50 years have seen more changes in people's perception of acquiring a bad situation. Having a difficult situation is indeed unarguably beneficial to face different circumstances. The issue of accepting a situation which adversely affects the person's ability and skill is controversial, as there are strong arguments for and against it.

                      Certainly, there are numerous upsides to having a bad situation. One important benefit is that people become more self-reliant, which means that people have to face uphill tasks because they want to improve their hidden talents. In order to become more confident, people prefer to accept a bad situation. It is true that when a person faces a lot of difficulties in their life, they become talented, which is unquestionably crucial for the overall development of a person. The second positive is that accepting an unsatisfactory job makes people hard workers, as they want to improve their situation. They have to work for long hours that directly increase their productivity and their profit, which is one of the best ways to earn name and fame in a society.

                    Besides this, improving the difficult situations of a person is utterly advantageous to leading a successful life because learning new techniques and strategies is beneficial for the development of cognitive skills in an individual. Studies have proven that people who prefer to change their behavior and habits in accordance with situations are more intelligent than those who do not follow the same methodology.

                            To conclude, it seems to me that having a sense of accepting bad situations in an organisation and family is absolutely essential to becoming a civilized member of society.

                          Different people have different ways of tackling situations in their life. Many people accept unwilling conditions such as an undesired job or shortage of money, while others believe they can make their life on their own by working hard.

                         On the one hand, one of the most important reasons to accept an undesired situation is that most people do not intend to work hard, meaning that they do not want to leave their comfort zones. For example, to get a high-professional job, students have to study very hard, but some of them do not consider their studies seriously, and in the end, they may have to cope with unwanted jobs. Furthermore, sometimes, individuals have a fear of security, which means they do not want to leave their current jobs as they feel that they may lose what they have because each job has some pros and cons. In addition to this, failures can be the reason for some people. Most people attempt all means to improve their situations, but they might face failures at every stage. Thus, they only have an option to welcome what they do not want.

                   On the other hand, many people believe in improving such situations instead of accepting them. They might consider these circumstances as challenges and face them positively. They believe in either making or breaking their lives. Moreover, there are some situations, such as paucity of money, which make people helpless. Therefore, it has become necessary to ameliorate their conditions for their survival.

                      In conclusion, although it is not easy to attain what individuals want in their lives, people must work hard and not lose hope until they achieve success and their target goals.

                        There is little doubt that the last 15 years have witnessed a greater rise in the unemployment rate than the previous 30 years. Some people opine that individuals should accept the bad situation. Others believe that people should work hard to improve their skills. My essay tends to dwell upon both views.

                               Indeed, there are numerous reasons for accepting a bad situation. One of the important ones is family responsibility. To put it another way, most people have several responsibilities on their shoulders, so it is very difficult for them to leave their job. Additionally, some people work in undesirable fields because they have a lack of knowledge as well as skills. According to a survey conducted by the Times of India, 70% of youngsters like to work in government sectors. They require fewer qualifications and fewer skills to operate a computer.

                             On the other hand, there is no denying the fact that people should be encouraged to get a better opportunity. Moreover, individuals should improve their communication skills and language skills to get a better job opportunities. For instance, research conducted by the New York Times has revealed that 40% of MNCs organise campaigns for employers because they feel that it might be the best method to improve not only the ability but also the knowledge of workers.

                            To conclude, I believe that people should improve their skills to get a good salary package and a better working environment.

                    Without a doubt, the last 15 years have witnessed more changes in people’s behaviour regarding jobs than in the preceding 30 years. Most people opine that accepting difficult situations, such as a poor working environment and low wages, is better than refusing them. However, others believe that working smart is the best way to improve such circumstances. The essay will discuss both the solid arguments in the upcoming paragraphs, along with my opinion.

                         Indeed, accepting bad situations has numerous factors. One of the most significant reasons is that nothing is better than something, meaning that working individuals who work in bad working conditions and get low salaries after working for long hours, might not quit their jobs if they do not have any other job opportunities. This might happen because they do not have the appropriate skill-sets which organisations require, or they are suppressed by upper-level management which exploits them. As a consequence, they are no longer interested in doing jobs and they give their resignation letters to their organisations. According to a survey conducted by the Times of India, 70% of employees are not satisfied with their working environment and salaries. These are the most common reasons for quitting their jobs.

                        On the other hand, some individuals believe that employees should develop skills such as interpersonal skills, communication, technical and nontechnical skills so that they get placement in their dream organisations. Research shows that 20% of working professionals switch from one organisation to another in order to develop skills and get handsome salaries. Thus, working smart is the only way to get out of every problem, whether it is an unsatisfactory job or a shortage of money. Furthermore, top-leading MNCs are always looking for skilled workers and they provide various facilities, such as international-tour packages, a good working environment, and so on.

                  To conclude, it seems to me that almost every difficult phase of life can be solved by analysing the situation and finding possible solutions.
