IELTS 12 - WRITING TASK 2 - TEST 6

Nowadays, in some countries, young adults account for the larger part of their population. There is a lot of controversy about the advantages and disadvantages of this situation. Further, it raises the questions, what kinds of population policy should be applied in each nation? And, is there an ideal population structure for all contries?.

From my perspective, there are more benefits than drawbacks for countries with a young population structure. As a young Vietnamese adutls, I consider my country as a prime example. Our situation has a number of advantages.

Firstly, a large number of young citizens ensures a strong labour force, which is very important to the growth of gross domestic product (or GDP in short). According to a 2016 study of Hanoi National University, the young work force contributed approximately 70 per cent of GDP in Vietnam.

Secondly, young labour can easily apply new technologies and science achievements in work, which may seem very challenging for some older workers. These days, with the dramatic improvements, technology plays a crucial role in all areas: industry, service and agriculture. Vietnam is a typical example. Twenty years ago, we could only produce barely enough rice for ourshelves. However, since 2009, Vietnam has been the second largest rice exporter. This miracle change is based on apply new biotechnology, by young work force.

Conversely, there are also inevitable social issues for these countries, such as high unemployment rates, poverty, etc. However, based on my knowledge, these problems can be controlled by good goverment leadership such as China or Laos.

To conclude, in nations which have large percentages of young labour, although there are some inevitable social problems. I completely believe that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, as indicated above.


Lucas.

A fancy high quality ballpoint pen is as stylish as it is functional. It's often paired with a matching pencil, in an elegant gift set. Silver - plated, alligator leather chainmail, rose gold with crystals. Pen casing designs are endless. This model is decorated with lacquer made from the resin of a particular tree grows only in China. They apply it using a special brush - made of human hair. Coating the recessed areas of a brass pan casing create the effect of black stripes running the length of the pen. Once the resin dries, they washed the pens several times. And with a cotton wheel and some polishing compound they buff the lacquer to a high - gloss shine. Here's another model with an etch design - a computer guided machine engraves the fine intricate pattern with a diamond chisel. The casing is brass but they...

ETHAN FROME

By Edith Warton Chapter 1: BEGINNINGS Winter in Starkfield If you know Starkfield Massachusetts, you know the post office there. If you know the post office, you have probably seen Ethan Frome driving up to it in his buggy; and you have probably wondered who he was. It was there that, several years ago, I saw him for the first time. He was a noticeable figure. His tall, strong body was badly twisted, and much shorter on the right side than on the left. He moved slowly and painfully, pulling himself along. Just a few steps from his buggy to the post office were clearly difficult for him. His face has a sad, grim look. It was the face and body of an old man, and I was surprised to hear that that he was only fifty-two. I learnt this from Harmon Gow, a man who knew all the families around Starkfield. "He's been like that since his bad accident, nearly twenty-four years ago", said Harmon. "But Fromes don't die young, Ethan'll live to a hundred, probab...
