EXAMPLE FOR TASK 1 (BY ME)
The article states that due to the augmentation of human populations and
corresponding agriculture as well as pesticide, the number of birds in the United States
will decline and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that
anticipation made by the reading passage perhaps true for some birds, but not for all birds
and refutes each of the author's reason.
First, the reading claims that as a result of increasing human populations and
settlements, birds continue to disappear. The professor refutes this point by saying that
although urbanization reduce some bird's number, it provides larger habitats for other
birds. She states that the number of certain birds, like, pigeon are increasing due to
urbanization and continue to increase in the future.
Writing Section (Continue..)
Second, the article posits that destruction of bird habitats will be also due to the increasing
agricultural activities which need to keep pace with flourishing populations. However, the
professor says that certainly agricultural activities will be expanded in the future, but with
these expansions, there will be more new crops. As a results, there will be more new food and
this new food will help birds as well.
Third, the reading avers that the use of chemical pesticides also will be increasing as a
results of human settlements expansion and agricultural activities. This pesticides commingle
to food chain and birds eat these foods and their reproducing rate will be declined or they will
be dead. The professor opposes this point by explaining that the projection about future is
incorrect. According to the professor, people in the United States use less toxic pesticides
nowadays and also produce pest resistant crops, which need less pesticides. These pest
resistant crops don't harm birds.
In a nutshell, according to the professor, the reading passage is dubious and non-plausible
and she refutes each of the point by pointing that due to these activities, birds populations will
not be declined.

EXAMPLE FOR TASK 2 (BY ME)
Travelling is one of the enjoyable things and most of the men and women like to travel
to be refreshed and relaxed. Travelling with a tour guide or not, is a contentious issue.
Personally, I accede with the statement that the best way to travel in a group when the
group led by a tour guide. Even though, some people might find traveling without a tour
guide , because it gives them more flexibility to enjoy, in my view, travelling in a group
led by a tour guide far better for several important reasons.
THE BEST WAY TO TRAVEL IS IN A GROUP LED BY A TOUR GUIDE
Writing Section (Continue..)
First, tour will be convenient and less difficult. When a group of people is travelling, led by
tour guide, the tour will be less difficult. Most of the time, we cannot anticipate the condition
of the travelling site. The tour guide is an expert about the site and how to surf all the area. For
example, when I was in my university, in the final year, we arranged a study tour around the
Bangladesh. First, we started the tour by launching our journey to Sundarban, one of the
astonishing and eye-catching world mangrove forests. Before the tour, there was a contention
whether we will have a tour guide or not. But, when we reached Sundarban, we were bound to
be led by a tour guide and some of my colleagues got disappointed with that. But within short
time, they discovered the fallacy of their disappointment. By the help of tour guide, we hiked
all around the forest with less tension. Moreover, the tour guide was friendly and helped us
safe travel.
EXAMPLE FOR TASK 2
Writing Section (Continue..)
Second, travelling in a group is much more haphazard than travelling alone because there
are variations of thought. Some people want to do one thing, whereas other people want others.
As a result, sometimes there are some unfortunate accidents, when group of people travel
without tour guide. In that case, I would like to address some evidence to substantiate my
reasoning. Few months ago, in my home country, Bangladesh, some boys travelled to Saint-
Martin. They were reluctant to be led by a tour guide. Perhaps they thought that a tour guide do
nothing but kills the pleasure. But, problem arose when they started to swim in the sea. They
did not know the safe place and worse place for swimming in this tourist site. Two of the boys
in the group, started to swim randomly without knowing the safe place for swimming. As a
result, they suffered a death , and we lost two valuable lives. This was not inevitable, rather
than if they were led by a tour guide, perhaps this might not happen.
EXAMPLE FOR TASK 2
Writing Section (Continue..)
Last but not least, travelling with a tour guide does not necessarily kill the merriment
pleasure and enjoyment. The main duty of a tourist guide is to provide a safe way to enjoy, not
to kill the entertainment. According to some people, these restrictions by a tour guide make
their travel limited and get less entertainment. These people want to get more pleasure at
expense of safety. What about they suffer death, like the guys mentioned in the second
paragraph? Is it wise to enjoy more at expense of safety? Personally I think, it is not a wise
decision, rather than it proofs devoid of intelligence.
In a nutshell, we need and do travelling for the life, for relaxation and refreshment. If we led
our life in a pernicious stage only for enjoying, then the purpose of travelling will be
questionable. So, we cannot risk our lives only for mere entertainment, and for the
aforementioned reasoning, travelling in a group led by a tour guide is the best way to enjoy
within the safe limit.

  • 81. Writing Section (Continue..) EXAMPLE FOR TASK 1 (BY ME) The article states that due to the augmentation of human populations and corresponding agriculture as well as pesticide, the number of birds in the United States will decline and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that anticipation made by the reading passage perhaps true for some birds, but not for all birds and refutes each of the author's reason. First, the reading claims that as a result of increasing human populations and settlements, birds continue to disappear. The professor refutes this point by saying that although urbanization reduce some bird's number, it provides larger habitats for other birds. She states that the number of certain birds, like, pigeon are increasing due to urbanization and continue to increase in the future.
  • 82. Writing Section (Continue..) Second, the article posits that destruction of bird habitats will be also due to the increasing agricultural activities which need to keep pace with flourishing populations. However, the professor says that certainly agricultural activities will be expanded in the future, but with these expansions, there will be more new crops. As a results, there will be more new food and this new food will help birds as well. Third, the reading avers that the use of chemical pesticides also will be increasing as a results of human settlements expansion and agricultural activities. This pesticides commingle to food chain and birds eat these foods and their reproducing rate will be declined or they will be dead. The professor opposes this point by explaining that the projection about future is incorrect. According to the professor, people in the United States use less toxic pesticides nowadays and also produce pest resistant crops, which need less pesticides. These pest resistant crops don't harm birds. In a nutshell, according to the professor, the reading passage is dubious and non-plausible and she refutes each of the point by pointing that due to these activities, birds populations will not be declined.

  • 85. Writing Section (Continue..) EXAMPLE FOR TASK 2 (BY ME) Travelling is one of the enjoyable things and most of the men and women like to travel to be refreshed and relaxed. Travelling with a tour guide or not, is a contentious issue. Personally, I accede with the statement that the best way to travel in a group when the group led by a tour guide. Even though, some people might find traveling without a tour guide , because it gives them more flexibility to enjoy, in my view, travelling in a group led by a tour guide far better for several important reasons. THE BEST WAY TO TRAVEL IS IN A GROUP LED BY A TOUR GUIDE
  • 86. Writing Section (Continue..) First, tour will be convenient and less difficult. When a group of people is travelling, led by tour guide, the tour will be less difficult. Most of the time, we cannot anticipate the condition of the travelling site. The tour guide is an expert about the site and how to surf all the area. For example, when I was in my university, in the final year, we arranged a study tour around the Bangladesh. First, we started the tour by launching our journey to Sundarban, one of the astonishing and eye-catching world mangrove forests. Before the tour, there was a contention whether we will have a tour guide or not. But, when we reached Sundarban, we were bound to be led by a tour guide and some of my colleagues got disappointed with that. But within short time, they discovered the fallacy of their disappointment. By the help of tour guide, we hiked all around the forest with less tension. Moreover, the tour guide was friendly and helped us safe travel. EXAMPLE FOR TASK 2
  • 87. Writing Section (Continue..) Second, travelling in a group is much more haphazard than travelling alone because there are variations of thought. Some people want to do one thing, whereas other people want others. As a result, sometimes there are some unfortunate accidents, when group of people travel without tour guide. In that case, I would like to address some evidence to substantiate my reasoning. Few months ago, in my home country, Bangladesh, some boys travelled to Saint- Martin. They were reluctant to be led by a tour guide. Perhaps they thought that a tour guide do nothing but kills the pleasure. But, problem arose when they started to swim in the sea. They did not know the safe place and worse place for swimming in this tourist site. Two of the boys in the group, started to swim randomly without knowing the safe place for swimming. As a result, they suffered a death , and we lost two valuable lives. This was not inevitable, rather than if they were led by a tour guide, perhaps this might not happen. EXAMPLE FOR TASK 2
  • 88. Writing Section (Continue..) Last but not least, travelling with a tour guide does not necessarily kill the merriment pleasure and enjoyment. The main duty of a tourist guide is to provide a safe way to enjoy, not to kill the entertainment. According to some people, these restrictions by a tour guide make their travel limited and get less entertainment. These people want to get more pleasure at expense of safety. What about they suffer death, like the guys mentioned in the second paragraph? Is it wise to enjoy more at expense of safety? Personally I think, it is not a wise decision, rather than it proofs devoid of intelligence. In a nutshell, we need and do travelling for the life, for relaxation and refreshment. If we led our life in a pernicious stage only for enjoying, then the purpose of travelling will be questionable. So, we cannot risk our lives only for mere entertainment, and for the aforementioned reasoning, travelling in a group led by a tour guide is the best way to enjoy within the safe limit.
