ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

A highly controversial topic. Given its significance to a global society, it is popular with English exam boards. Alternative energy should be on your radar when preparing for an exam. It's very popular because it requires a stronger opinion in the English language rather than softer topics like friendship. Thanks for joining me for this IELTS writing task based on alternative energy.

The debate between saving for tomorrow or living for today is one that has been ongoing for years. It is an age-old question that has no right or wrong answer. It is a question of personal preferences and circumstances. While some believe that it is important to save for the future, others argue that we should enjoy life while we can. In reality, both sides of the argument have their pros and cons. Join me for this topical debate!

Hello and welcome to this one2one Podcast. Escape is based on cruise ships and how they have changed the holiday landscape for so many.

In today's tech-driven world, the interplay between technology and crime is more complex than ever. While innovative tools like surveillance cameras and biometric systems bolster our security, they also open doors for new criminal behaviours, particularly in the realm of cybercrime. 🕵️‍♂️💻

However, the flip side reveals a darker truth: as we enhance our defences, criminals adapt, exploiting online platforms for fraud and identity theft. This ongoing cat-and-mouse game underscores the need for balance in our approach to safety. ⚖️🔒

We also share practical tips for writing clear and effective emails, highlighting the importance of knowing your audience and proofreading. By mastering these email styles, students can enhance their communication skills and create meaningful connections.
