It gives you lots of sugar.  So I guess I shouldn't have too much of it Though, I always want to have more Did you eat chocolate as a child? Well, yes. It was Ayam Jago chocolate bar. Very cheap stuff. And Choki Choki .. this one was a chocolate cream. Both products were quite famous back then when I was just a lil kid. Why do people eat chocolate all over the world? It tastes good. That's the primary reason. The more expensive they are, the better they taste. It improves your mood. Stimulates your endorphin.

Films and computer games containing violence are popular. Some people say they have negative effect on society and should be banned. Other says they are just harmless relaxation. Discuss both sides and give your opinion. Popular media might contain violence act as shown in many films and computer games. This issue becomes a hot debate as people seem to have different opinions about it; one looks at it as fun stuff while the other argues that it promotes violence. It is apparent that both sides clearly have merits to their argument and they are reasonable. People are generally interested in things they know little about. Looking at the glimpse of violence offered in the display satisfies their curiosity and gives them knowledge on the violence itself. It can be understood that people need a certain maturity to act this way and not everyone can be considered as mature. Violence exists and the display of violence should only be regarded as a representation of things that exist an...

Some people say that urgent problems in modern society can only be solved with international cooperation. To what extent do you agree? There are many challenges faced by modern society. These problems are unemployment, social problems, and limited resources. International efforts can help to resolve some of these issues. Widespread use of technology brings many positive effects in various spheres of life. However, human position has also been replaced by technology in many jobs. The solution to this problem should be considered as a whole. To give up the jobs which have been done for years will not be an easy task for anyone. If jobs are lost, poverty will increase, and increasing poverty is a signal of increasing crime. This is a problem that is closely related to the uptake of technology policy of a country so that is the responsibility of a country to use technology wisely. The use of technology can have a negative impact on social interactions. Many teens are not...

Some people say we do not need printed paper newspapers anymore. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Today, people have more sources of information compared to the situation 20 years ago. With the advance of digital technology, there are many channels of media to choose from including newspapers publishers, which now convert to digital content by means of website or apps that can be accessed widely. This is a form of adaptive transformation, which is beneficial both for the publishers and for the users. Traditional information providers such as radio broadcaster, television channels, and newspaper publishers are trying to adapt with the latest technology advancement. Current information channels are no longer restricted to use traditional media such as printed papers. For the newspaper companies, this is a good news from the perspective of resources and cost efficiency, mainly from eliminating the cost of paper, which is expensive and hard to get. By removing the cost of ...

Some people think that education separates people into certain classes. Are the people who have education more valuable than those who don't? Discuss. Education is pursued by most people mainly to improve their socioeconomic condition and it is vital to have a higher education since almost all jobs required it. However, higher education means specialization and the knowledge itself will be more specific and exclusive. I believe the value of education is flexible and fair for everyone regardless their economy situation. People with a postdoctoral degree have made their own contribution in their specific fields and for this reason, they are regarded as eminent contributors to the advancement of the society. With their insight and superior visualization ability, they are able to map the problems that society face and solve it through the implementation of a mechanical solution, the inspirational lecture, and via several policies proposed towards the government. It is obvious ...

Many countries spend high amount of money on internet access, explain why is this happening, do you think it is a good way to use the government's money? The progress in technology has caused an unpredictable surge in almost every area of our life. People use the computers and the backbone of the internet to get connected to other people and therefore construct a major part of both their social life and working life. It is understandable if a country should maintain an adequate service providing high-quality internet access to its citizens in order to improve the flow of communication in all related aspects. This is a demand of the new era and government should put maximum effort to the best of their ability to provide these services. The way people today obtain their information has changed so much compared to two decades ago. We are no longer passive and just waited for the news in the television every nine p.m. like in the past. (In Indonesia, this is called World News)...

Some people say that the only reason for learning a foreign language is in order to travel to or work in a foreign country. Others say that these are not the only reasons why someone should learn a foreign language. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. The mastery of foreign language has become more important these days than ever before as the world is becoming more of a global village. In the sense of financial reasons, some people have the absolute opinion that learning another language should be to improve one's economy situation or to expand their geographical knowledge. In other words, it is for working and travelling purpose. However, there are others who believe that learning foreign languages can be based on other reasons, which are not money-related. This essay will explain both opinions and my view about learning a foreign language. Travelling or working in other countries share the same basic characteristics. Both will be much more enjoyable and b...

The graph informs about emissions of CO2 in four European countries namely United Kingdom, Portugal, Sweden, and Italy in the period of 1967 to 2007. It is apparent from the graph that two countries, Portugal and Italy, shared the same upward trend over the years. Portugal had gradually increased their CO2 emissions from 1.7 to 3.7 in 20 years time before slightly rose by 1.7 metric tonnes in 1997. Italy started from 4.3 metric tonnes in 1967 and reached the peak of 7.8 before it levelled off the way Portugal did in the last decade of the periods. UK had successfully maintained the decrease of CO2 emissions over the years. It started at 11 but then ended the periods at 8.5 metric tonnes, a drop of 2.5 tonnes in 40 years. In addition, although Sweden initially experienced a rise in the first decade by 1.7 tonnes, from 8.5 in 1967 to 10.2 in 1977, it then drastically plunged its emission rate at merely 6 tonnes in 1997 and then it continued with a slight drop in the last decad...

https://soundcloud.com/wara-rahan/seri-knt-ielts-9 Where did you grow up? I grew up in Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia. My family moved from Jakarta to Palembang in 1990. I left Palembang when I graduated from senior high school and then went to university in Bandung, West Java. Is that a big place or a small place? Well, Palembang is quite big because it is the capital of South Sumatra province. It is about 360 square kilometer and it is home for almost 1.8 million people. Do you like your hometown? Yes, of course. It’s not that I think it’s the best city. I am quite certain that many people like their hometown just for the sake of the nostalgic memory of their childhood.. growing up there. But when you have become an adult and traveled to many other places, you’ll see that there are places better than your hometown. What do you like most about your hometown? I like the food. We have this thing called pempek, it’s a fishcake. It is delicious but I think it...

https://soundcloud.com/wara-rahan/seri-knt-ielts-8 What would you say is the most interesting part of your work? The most interesting part in my line of work is when the student gets the IELTS score that he/she needs. It means that they will be able to get a scholarship, that’s the obvious one. In addition, they’ll get the chance to travel abroad, they’ll get lots of money and new experiences. They will get their master degree or doctoral degree. Then they will help improve Indonesia to be a better country for the future generation. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll only get ‘thanks, Sir’ from all of this, but the satisfaction that I feel every time, words just can’t express it. How do you do your work? Well, students need to do two things. They need to improve their English skills and they also need to familiarize themselves with the IELTS format. I usually run a pre-test to assess the students’ current ability and then decide what the main weaknesses are. After that, I will polis...

https://soundcloud.com/wara-rahan/audio-knt-requestan-1 How important is it to have an academic goal in life? Well, let’s see … academic goal in life … I assume that we are talking about the academic degree here and how it is gonna be helpful in our life. The academic credentials gained from having a formal education is likely to help someone to reach the next level on the career ladder. As we know that most institutions rely on those who graduate from reputable university. I’m not saying that that’s the best way to recruit an employee. It’s just the most common way. So, if I am a person whose career relies on my education, then chasing an academic goal should be the top priority. However, if I have the ability to run a successful entrepreneurial business, be my own boss and make loads of money, then a degree is not that important. Well, it’s book smart versus street smart. that kind of thing.

https://soundcloud.com/wara-rahan/seri-knt-ielts-7 What work do you do? I am an IELTS teacher. I help lots of Indonesian students who want to continue their education abroad. I can teach face-to-face classes, like a traditional class, but I also have an online program for those who are not in Jakarta. They should register their membership first then they'll have the access to a website that I manage. Why did you choose to do that type of work? I had my interest in the standardized English exams since I was a kid. My father was an English teacher, and he held his classes at home. So, I learned the TOEFL for the first time when I was just 7 years old. That was in 1990. I thought that learning English was fun back then and still is. I guess, that's why now I become an IELTS teacher. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, one might say. What do you do in that job? Well, when I don't have any class with the students, I update the content of my website. I...

“Prevention is better than cure.” Therefore, a large proportion of a country’s health budget should be diverted from treatment to preventative measures. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? The concept of healthy public is something that is expected by the government as citizens clearly play the important role of human resource to run the country. A nation with healthier citizens tends to be more stable and may develop its economy without obstacles. However, achieving this with a limited budget will be difficult. Some believe that the fund should be invested towards preventative medicine, yet this will likely lead to less funding for treating people. This essay will look at the reasoning behind a well-planned health program and my opinion about it. First of all, preventing unwanted things is always better and we all know that this is true. If a fire or natural disaster can be prevented it would be better for everyone. As for the illness, this means that...

Governments should spend money on railways rather than roads. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? One of the crucial needs in the developing countries is to attract people to the city in order to boost the economy. In my country, this has happened naturally when the majority of people flock to the capital, Jakarta, every Eid Fitri, as there is a stream of newcomers after homecoming season ends. However, this has also created a problem in the form of transportation difficulties. Traffic jam has been a regular and an inevitable thing in the street of Jakarta. Some people believe that it is already time to build a more effective transportation system in the form of trains rather than relying on expanding roadways. I entirely agree with this view, and will further analyze the reasoning below. Cars have long been a symbol of success for many people. In reality, as the economy is still growing, many people find themselves with more money than they have ever ...

Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think might be effective? There is a problem in most developing countries in terms of traffic and pollution particularly in the heart of its metropolitan cities. It is argued that the best way to solve this problem is by having the petrol fare to be increased to discourage people from using cars as the primary method of transportation. However, other options can be taken to solve this issue. The first alternative that can be offered as a solution is to provide good and reliable public transportation for the citizen. If there are many public transportation available, and if they are punctual, then people can reduce their use of private cars because it is more advantageous to use public transportation. The second method that can be tried is taxing the main road that usually becomes the source of a traffic jam. The...

Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology. In what ways has technology affected the types of relationships people make? Has this become a positive or negative development? Technology advancement helps people shape their progress beyond many aspects. I think technology has delivered a very positive overall impact on easing human to introduce and to maintain new relationships and old relationships. In the past, we did not have the chance to send a letter to someone and hoping to get a reply in the same day. The telephone was used for a direct communication in the old days while the letter was meant for a formal and personal communication as it takes lots of time to deliver a snail mail. As we more commonly use the e-mail to manage our business, personal lives, these things have now become more manageable than ever, and we become more organized as a society. In the past, we did not have a method to send a picture to someone else i...

Some people spend their entire lives in one place. Others move a number of times throughout their lives, looking for a better job, house, community, or even climate. Which do you prefer: staying in one place or moving in search of another place? Use reasons specific examples to support your opinion. Some people like change while some other try as much as possible to stick to the pattern that he/she knows. This essay will discuss how people decide to make or not to make changes. When someone decides to settle in the same workplace for many years, he might have felt very comfortable in the job, both in terms of financial, career prospects and job satisfaction. As for those who decide to settle in the same place to stay over the years, it is very likely that he feels he has a very close relationship with the neighbors of family, the neighborhood where he had brilliant childhood, and he also wants to raise his future children and grandchildren in the very same area. The decision t...

Women and men are commonly seen as having different strengths and weaknesses. Is it right to exclude males or females from certain professions because of their gender? Modern time has seen rapid advancement in people’s lifestyles; a situation which is suspected to happen due to progress in technology and globalisation. This has also affected people’s preferences for their career. Instead of being fixated on the traditional career path, modern people tend to explore many new fields and areas where they can follow their dream even to the point which was unimaginable three decades ago. This essay would further analyse the correlation between gender and occupational preference and its future prediction. Women have been considered as inferior to men in terms of physicality and this view may very well have some truth in it. It seems that even the slightest depiction of alternative prehistoric situation where the females hunted for food and slaughtered wild beast will be a cause for ...

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Young people enjoy life more than older people do. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. The idea of having a memorable life is shared by many and it can be said as the common goal in life. However, the notion of happiness is somewhat abstract and people have been debating whether older people or younger people that tend to enjoy their life more. It is disagreed that the age is the key deciding factor of happiness in life. I believe the concept of happiness relies on people’s nature and expectation. The main question of life, happiness, and age will push us to answer this particular question: how is someone's nature contribute to his / her happiness? In other words, what does old age have to do with being happy? When people are in their old age, they have gone through lots of major key points in their life. This ranges from their first job, wedding, having a child, building a house, sending the chil...

The chart informs in general about the average GDP growth per decade for the three different types of countries for a total period of 40 years. The wealthy countries recorded a very impressive GDP growth in the beginning of this period of four decades where the figure was in the range of 4.7 percent. In the same period, however, the figure for the countries adhering to globalization was only 1.4 percent, while the countries that did not adopt the globalization existed at the level of 2.4 percent. In the 1970s when the countries, which accepted globalization and rejected globalization, both increased their figures quite significantly, the wealthy countries had quite the opposite experience as it underwent a drastic decline to a level of 3 percent. The GDP growth rates of the wealthy countries continued to deteriorate until it reached 2 percent at the end of the period. It can also be seen that countries that did not accept globalization were devastated in the peri...

We live in a technological age. However, technology cannot solve all the world's problems. Therefore, some people argue that we need to place less emphasis on technological solutions and more on other values. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience to support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence. The rapid development of technology has given many people new access to information. This, in turn, leads to a better functioning society as the information flows easily to all around the world. However, some people would argue that technology is not the solution for world’s problems. It is agreed that technology is a tool that helps make life become easier and that it is more of a medium rather than an end goal. The problems in people’s life are so many that we might not be able to count it, even if we try. Now we have a global concern of what to do when our oil supply is no longer capable of...

Advantages/disadvantages of consumer goods that have become cheaper Business has always been for profit and that is the core of capitalism economic system. For this reason, profit in producing goods and distributing it to the consumer has always been the number one target of many companies. However, the recent trend has shown that there is a decline in the price of some consumer goods. I believe that price reduction for consumer products has its advantages and disadvantages even if it is commonly understood as a sign of positive thing. The public, in general, does not always understand clearly about the negative effects that may happen if a price is set so low. When a product reaches the consumer, the product has a price that should cover the production cost and some profit margin. For a product to be able to reduce it price, there is a need for efficiency, and sometimes this might include laying off the unnecessary human resources, which have lost their place against modern p...

https://soundcloud.com/mitra-19/knt-6 Pertanyaan Speaking Part 1: Can you describe your town or village? Well, I live in Tambun area in bekasi timur. It is one of the satellite cities of Jakarta, Indonesian capital, so many people live here and they work in Jakarta. So they commute every day to Jakarta using buses or trains. The city is quite industrial I have to say, there are lots of factories here, and most people work as factory workers or labors. It is so hot and the traffic is so bad, it even makes people from other cities hesitate to visit Bekasi. How important is tourism in your town/village? why and why not? It is not important at all. Bekasi is an industrial city so the main point in this city is factory and obviously there is not a single place interesting enough to attract tourist to come to this poorly planned city. Nothing special whatsoever. What places would you recommended people to visit in your town/village? There is nothing extremely interesti...

https://soundcloud.com/mitra-19/knt-5 Do you think people today are working more (hours per week) than people did in the past? The lack of economy stability in my country means that people today work more than they did in the past. Business isn't as good as it was .. let's say thirty years ago, well, the economy in general is developing but the value of your money becomes less and less .. In the past people worked for 50 hours a week, but now, it is obviously more than that. Do you think an increase in people's leisure time might improve their working efficiency? It is not directly related. If people are stress then they need something to release the burden. The efficiency isn't about relieving the stress. Efficiency is all about learning strategies and tactics to become more efficient in what you do. I'll give you an example. If a shop owner, has become so stressful in his job, then he is spending two weeks in Bali. It won't do much to improve hi...

https://soundcloud.com/mitra-19/knt-4 What holiday is most popular in your country? The most popular holiday in my country umm ... I think it should be Christmas and Ramadan feast ... one is Christian holiday and the other is Moslem holiday. These two days are celebrated by most people, well, by celebrate I mean people are feeling festive during the days before the holiday itself. TV will show special programs related with the theme of these holidays and school will absolutely allow several days for family to return to their hometown and get together with their family. In Indonesia, people are excited about these days, I guess. Besides traveling, what do people in your country like to do when they have a holiday (vacation) from work or study? Well, people in my country like to visit their grandparents house or relative's house. We try to connect with friends and relatives more during the holiday time. Indonesian are known as friendly community and society. We treat o...

https://soundcloud.com/mitra-19/knt-reading Describe a book or article that you enjoy reading for your studies... 1. What the book or article was about 2. why you read it 3. How long it took you read 4. and explain why you enjoy reading it The book that I really enjoy reading for my study is any book published by Cambridge University Press or Oxford Publication. The books are mainly related to my job which is IELTS and Academic English books. It is very important for me to keep up-to-date with the latest publication in IELTS and by purchasing the books from these two publishers I can be confident with my knowledge, and having high confidence in yourself is very important for teachers. I usually use the book and read it for about a week or two, usually it wouldn’t be longer than 3 weeks. I really enjoy reading these books as I love English and I am amazed by the quality of these two publication. Big names such as Martin Hewings, Raymond Murphy, and Michael Swan they’r...
