In recent years, there has
been growing interest in the relationship between equality and personal
achievement. Some people believe that individuals can achieve more in
egalitarian societies. Others believe that high levels of personal
achievement are possible only if individuals are free to succeed or fail
according to their individual merits.
What is your view of the relationship between equality and personal success?
In my opinion, an egalitarian society is one in which everyone has the same rights and the same opportunities. I completely agree that people can achieve more in this kind of society.
Education is an important factor with regard to personal success in life. I believe that all children should have access to free schooling, and higher education should be either free or affordable for all those who chose to pursue a university degree. In a society without free schooling or affordable higher education, only children and young adults from wealthier families would have access to the best learning opportunities, and they would therefore be better prepared for the job market. This kind of inequality would ensure the success of some but harm the prospects of others.
I would argue that equal rights and opportunities are not in conflict with people’s freedom to succeed or fail. In other words, equality does not mean that people lose their motivation to succeed, or that they are not allowed to fail. On the contrary, I believe that most people would feel more motivated to work hard and reach their potential if they thought that they lived in a fair society. Those who did not make the same effort would know that they had wasted their opportunity. Inequality, on the other hand, would be more likely to demotivate people because they would know that the odds of success were stacked in favour of those from privileged backgrounds.
In conclusion, it seems to me that there is a positive relationship between equality and personal success.(260 words)

Many people, and children in particular, enjoy playing computer games. While I accept that these games can sometimes have a positive effect on the user, I believe that they are more likely to have a harmful impact.
On the one hand, video games can be both entertaining and educational.
Users, or gamers, are transported into virtual worlds which are often more exciting and engaging than real-life pastimes.
From an educational perspective, these games encourage imagination and
creativity, as well as concentration, logical thinking and problem
solving, all of which are useful skills outside the gaming context.
Furthermore, it has been shown that computer simulation games can
improve users’ motor skills and help to prepare them for real-world
tasks, such as flying a plane.
However, I would argue that these benefits are outweighed by the drawbacks.
Gaming can be highly addictive because users are constantly given scores, new targets and frequent rewards to keep them playing.
Many children now spend hours each day trying to progress through the
levels of a game or to get a higher score than their friends.
This type of addiction can have effects ranging from lack of sleep to
problems at school, when homework is sacrificed for a few more hours on
the computer or console.
The rise in obesity in recent years has also been linked in part to the
sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise that often accompany gaming
addiction.
In conclusion, it seems to me that the potential dangers of video games are more significant than the possible benefits.(258 words, band 9)
