Practice Essay - April 12


Some feel that individuals should have the right to strike in all jobs while others feel there are exceptions.

Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.



The answer is submitted by our student Komal Sahota. It covers almost every area. 

A strike is a collective protest by workers who want better wages and working conditions or to give vent to grievances. A few people argue that all workers should be free to go on strike regardless of where they come from; however, some think this is impossible for certain professions. This essay will discuss both schools of thought along with a suitable judgment.
 
On the one hand, advocates of the right to strike in all professions argue that the right to express dissatisfaction with working conditions and demand better pay and benefits is a fundamental human right. Moreover, it is an effective tool for negotiating with their employers, demanding better working conditions, wages, and benefits. The right to strike allows workers to fight for their rights in the fields of discrimination and exploitation. 
 
On the other hand, opponents of a right to strike for all jobs claim that certain professions, such as emergency services and public transport, are indispensable services that cannot be disrupted without causing harm to society, just as the right of individuals to live their lives unfettered and the rights of the community to protect people's quality of life and its fundamental function must be given greater attention. For instance, if workers in a hospital's emergency department do not cure their patients because they are unhappy at work, they are playing with the lives of innocent patients.
 
After this discussion, I am confident that if a strike is not in conflict with the law, it shall be legal. Unless the reasons for its existence are entirely illogical or unreasonable, they cannot be justified. Although the right to strike is not a fundamental right, it is a legal right, and with this right comes a statutory limitation embedded in the Industrial Disputes Act of 1947.
 
To conclude, from the aforementioned reasons, some people disagree with me about the right to strike since they believe that it is a cause to harm economics; however, I think the strike is about individuals' freedom and power to bargain on behalf of workers, and it is an essential tool for improving the working conditions of employees.

The essay's answer is written by BAWA IELTS, following the plagiarism policy. Essay Starts Now- There is a contentious issue whether it is a more laborious task for children to grow up in the modern era than in the past. Though I agree with the notion to a significant extent, it has become far easier as well. Thus, I will give my viewpoint in the forthcoming paragraphs.  The foremost downside is that our modern children have been exposed to social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, where they have consistent access to adverse activities. To be more precise, they may have easier access to unnecessary reels and computer games, where they keep wasting their precious time rather than focusing on their studies. Another aspect associated with the provided notion is that our modern children have been overburdened by education as well...

Speaking Part 1 - January to April 2023

  Fast Food and Break Fast What do you have for breakfast? I prefer to have my favourite food items during the first meal of the day. Usually, I like wheat bread with freshly cooked vegetables like Okra, Turnip, beans and cauliflower. Along with this, I love to take a cup of tea. However, during weekends, my mother cooks stuffed bread for me, and amongst all these bread types, my favourite one is potato-filled bread with curd and homemade butter.  Do you eat fast food? Yes, I do, but once a fortnight, I prefer to have it. It is owing to the bad cholesterols present in junk food materials. In this category, I find cheese burst pizza, garlic bread and white sauce Italian pasta mouth-watering.  What are the different kinds of fast food in your country? Name them. India has an ocean of fast food materials. For instance, Chinese, Italian and American fast materials are the most popular ones in India. Moreover, we have traditional fast foods as well.  The first one is a sa...
