About me

Hi all,

I would like to introduce myself as Soumya, a computer Engineer. As like everyone else, I initiated the process for my PR to settle in Australia. With my international experience and qualification, I was very much confident that I will score good marks in PTE in my first attempt itself. Without much research and practice, I was all set for the exam day. But Alas, my score in Speaking was 36 and the overall score was 60. At that moment, I realized that having well versed in English and using it in our daily life doesn't imply that it will give a 90 score. From then onward, it took a journey of 6 attempts and more than a year to reach my desired score of perfect 90.


As there are a lot of materials available on the internet for free and paid, I was not sure to rely on which materials. I have taken info from a number of sources which helped me to get my score. Through this blog, I would like to share my experience and research and help struggling aspirants to achieve their score. So feel free to shoot your doubts.

    Hey, Could you please evaluate this issue ?

    Question was : The proportion of old people increases in many countries. Do you think this as an advantage or disadvantage?

    Answer
    -------


    One of the most discussed issues today relates to the impact on society when the number of old people increases in most countries. I firmly believe that the above scenario will have a negative influence on society. I feel this way for two main reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.

    I feel strongly that as the quantity of elderly people increases, there will be a significant depreciation of valuable human resources. The reason for that is aged population cannot efficiently do works which require a lot of physical and mental stress; nonetheless, it is highly demanded work. In addition, this scenario will lead to reduced national income. For instance, a country where the majority of the population are elderly, the annual GDP is more likely to be low.

    I feel just as convinced that the increase in the number of elderly is more likely to have an impact in the health sectors. I often argue that in fact, more people will be sick and hospitalized which will put continuous pressure on the healthcare domain; nevertheless, it is terrible. Furthermore, the major focus will on healthcare and hospitality, rather than technology. For example, technological advancements in the nation will be in a sluggish manner.

    To conclude, as the percentage of old people increases, the countries will have an adverse effect on society. It has now been shown the impact will majorly happen in human resource and health sectors which will adversely affect the economy of the country as well. It is expected that this trend will continue to follow in the future if we did not take necessary measures.

      Hi unknown....
      On a high level your essay is good as I did not find any grammatical mistakes. However, there is an overuse of the pronoun 'I'. You should try to reduce that by rephrasing the sentences. Also, all the sentences are simple and compound sentences. Try to use complex sentences and conditional sentence.
      My recommendation is to:
      1. Try the essay writing,summarize spoken text etc methods from E2 language.com. They have number of videos available in youtube which demonstrates how to write essays with complex sentences and very effective.
      2. Copy your essays to Grammarly to find for any spelling, grammatical issues and it helps us to evaluate our own essays.

      Please try these and let me know if it helps.
