Alternative energy sources that use the natural power of the wind, waves and sun are too expensive and complicated to replace the coal, oil and gas that we use to power our cities and transport. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this?

Alternative energy is thought by some to be the answer to our reliance on fossil fuels, as sources of alternative energy are low emitters of CO2 and are a sustainable means of providing electrical power. Critics of 'green energy' contend that current technologies are either too costly or impractical to realistically replace our current energy needs.

The advantages of 'green energy' are obvious. There is no need to worry about dwindling supplies of progressively more expensive resources. Solar power will never run out and, once initial costs are paid off, the electricity is basically free. These sources of energy have another major benefit in the shape of their low emissions. Although there are emissions costs in the building of wind turbines or hydroelectric power stations, there is no further air pollution or the risk of environmental contamination.

This notion of a perfect world of free and non-polluting energy does draw criticism, however. It is obvious that solar power won't work at night or that not every country has a coastline, rivers or windy hills. It is also a problem that replacing our current energy supply will entail expensive research and development, which, in turn, involves government cooperation. One last obstacle to the adoption of ‘green energy' is nuclear power. Many countries see the huge energy production from this power source as a more practical solution than messing around with the wind and waves.

In conclusion, there is little doubt that we will soon need to wean ourselves off fossil fuels and on to an alternative fuel source. The only real question is whether we risk the costs and delays of green energy or choose the productive, but potentially dangerous, nuclear option. #essay

☘️ Bar chart

✅ Q: The bar charts compare students of different ages in terms of why they are studying and whether they are supported by an employer.

💡 Answer:

It is clear that the proportion of students who study for career purposes is far higher among the younger age groups, while the oldest students are more likely to study for interest. Employer support is more commonly given to younger students.

Around 80% of students aged under 26 study to further their careers, whereas only 10% study purely out of interest. The gap between these two proportions narrows as students get older, and the figures for those in their forties are the same, at about 40%. Students aged over 49 overwhelmingly study for interest (70%) rather than for professional reasons (less than 20%).

Just over 60% of students aged under 26 are supported by their employers. By contrast, the 30-39 age group is the most self-sufficient, with only 30% being given time off and help with fees. The figures rise slightly for students in their forties and for those aged 50 or more.

Although more and more people read news on the Internet, newspaper will remain the most important source of news. Do you agree or disagree?

The Internet is beginning to rival newspapers as the best place to find information about what is happening in the world. I believe that this trend will continue, and the Internet will soon be just as important as the traditional ones.

On the one hand, I believe that newspapers will continue to be a vital source of information, even in the Internet age. Firstly, newspapers are the most traditional means of communicating the news, and not everyone wants to or is able to use the Internet instead. For example, old people or those in rural areas might not have the ability of opportunity to get online, while many of us simply prefer newspapers even if we do have Internet access. Secondly, newspapers can be trusted as reliable sources of news because they employ professional journalists and editors. Finally, many people like the experience of holding and reading a paper rather than looking at a computer screen.

However, the Internet is likely to become just as popular as newspapers for a variety of reasons. The main reason is that it allows us much faster access to news in real time and wherever we are, on different gadgets and mobile devices. Another key benefit of online news compared to newspapers is the ability to share articles, discuss them with other people, give our views, and even contribute with our own updates on social media. For example, there has been an explosion in the use of platforms like Twitter and YouTube where anyone can share their news and views. A final point is that this source of news is less damaging to the environment.

In conclusion, I disagree with the view that newspapers will continue to be the main source of news, because I believe that the Internet will soon be equally important.

🟥10 самых распространенных трудностей в произношении для русскоговорящих

Недавно наткнулся на очень интересное видео про типичные ошибки россиян в произношение. Выписал основные тезисы 👇

Сложность 1
Неправильное произношение /æ/ - cat, hat, bad, happy. Мы склонны заменять его русским /э/. Bad -> bed  Рекомендация: чуть шире открывать рот при его произнесении.

Сложность 2
Неправильное ударение, особенно в многосложных словах. Например, вместо en-gi-NEER произносится EN-gi-neer, вместо ca-TAS-trophe – ca-tas-TROphe. Рекомендация: проверять ударение по словарям и учитывать, что слова могут иметь два ударения. Основное ударение помечается значком вверху перед ударным слогом /kəˈtæs.trə.fi/.

Сложность 3
Дифтонг /oʊ/ как в go, show заменяется русским /о/. Only превращается в «онли» вместо /ˈoʊn.li/, don’t в «донт» вместо /doʊnt/, won’t в «вонт» вместо  /woʊnt/.

Сложность 4
Путаница с /w/ и /v/ (very well). При произношении /w/ верхняя и нижняя губы не должны соприкасаться, а губы округляются как будто для поцелуя. Для звука /v/ – нижняя губа как бы попадает под верхние зубы (west – vest, vet – wet).

Сложность 5
Замена звука /h/ русским /х/ (хлеб). Английский h скорее как выдох, более расслабленный и легкий - hope, hi, head.

Сложность 6
Неправильное произношение звука /l/. В русском есть два «л» - твердый /л/ как в ласка, лыжник и мягкий /л/ - лень, люди. В английском также два типа /l/. В конце слова, аналог нашего твердого /л/ - feel, milk, в середине и начале слова он слегка смягчается, не превращаясь в мягкий «л». Для его произношения нужно коснуться кончиком языка нёба– listen, light, brilliant.

Сложность 7
Замена долгого /i:/ коротким /i/ из чего меняется смысл слова. Sheep-ship, seat-sit, least-list, leave-live.

Сложность 8
Путаница с произношением /u/как в pool, food и /ʊ/ как в pull, foot. Первый звук более напряженный и долгий, второй это скорее расслабленное «у» близкое к /o/ (Luke-look). При этом look, book, cook – это не «лук», «бук» и «кук»!

Сложность 9
Подмена английского /r/ (ur) русским «р» (ребус, арбуз). Язык должен быть выгнут и только краями касаться зубов с легкой вибрацией – right, hear, car, where.

Сложность 10
Отсутствие /th/ в русском языке. Отсюда получается sink вместо think, tanks вместо thanks. Чтобы его произнести, нужно слегка высунуть кончик языка из-за зубов и выпустить немного воздуха – three, this, thick) .
NB! Все сказанное в первую очередь относится к американскому английскому.

🔘IELTS WRITING TASK 1

The maps illustrate how an island developed as a tourist destination.

Taken as a whole, the island underwent a number of major changes, with the most significant one being the construction of accommodation in the western and central parts, while the east was left in its natural state.

Prior to development, the island was entirely unpopulated. In terms of its natural features, there was a beach on the west coast, to the left-hand side of which a few trees stood. On the eastern side of the island, similarly, some vegetation could be found, and it has been largely retained as part of the development program, though some building work has taken place.

Following construction, however, the island has changed conspicuously. Even though it is now developed, the style of buildings is generally sympathetic to the natural environment, with relatively simple, one-storey accommodation, and only two larger, two-storey buildings. When it comes to the main structures, a reception building and a restaurant just north of it have been erected in the central and northern parts, respectively. Visitors can stay in hut-style accommodation, which can be seen on either side of the reception. In terms of access, tracks have been established for vehicles, while footpaths serve as a means of linking the accommodation to the swimming beach and other facilities. the island has also been easily accessible with the addition of a pier on the south coast.
