The diagram shows the design and operation of a landfill site for domestic waste disposal. Overall, the process consists of three main stages – construction, usage and closure, incorporating both natural and synthetic materials.

During the construction phase, a large artificial pit is excavated, reaching natural rock formations. The base and walls of the hole are covered first in clay, followed by a synthetic material to prevent leaching into the surrounding ground. After the lining is complete, a drainage system, comprising multiple pipes and a tank, is installed at the bottom to manage liquid waste, finalizing the preparation process.

In the next phase, specialized trucks deposit household waste into the pit, with any liquid waste seeping downward through the drainage pipes into the collection tank. This continues until the landfill reaches its full capacity.

In the closure stage, the landfill is sealed with a thick clay layer to contain waste. A pipe is incorporated to allow gases to escape safely during decomposition.

The diagram shows the production of glass containers. Overall, there are nine steps which can be divided into four main stages: melting, molding, tempering and quality control. The process requires both specialized machinery and human oversight.

The process commences when glass fragments are fed into a furnace through a funnel. Inside the furnace, the raw material is heated at 105 degrees Celsius to melt it. The molten glass is first transferred in a small V-shaped mold, where an industrial press shapes it into a thick-walled container. This semi-formed container subsequently goes to the second mold with a broader base. Instead of pressing, glassblowing is used in this stage to refine the shape and achieve thinner walls.

After molding, the containers are fired in a kiln at 482 degrees Celsius before being cooled at 25 degrees for an hour to enhance durability. The final stage involves a meticulous inspection by workers to identify any defects. Faulty products are discarded, while those that meet the standards are packaged into boxes for distribution.

Some people think that individuals today are more dependent on each other. Others believe people have become more independent.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

While it is sometimes claimed that our mutual dependence has grown over time, not everyone agrees with this idea, arguing that individuals today have greater independence. Although certain aspects of contemporary life necessitate interdependence, I support the latter view.

On the one hand, it is difficult to deny that our modern lifestyle has made some people heavily reliant on the larger society. Unlike in agrarian societies, where self-sufficiency was more attainable, many people in the industrialized world now depend on the government, charities or other individuals to satisfy their basic need for food. In some countries, those trapped in poverty live on welfare benefits, while in others various grants and donations are their only hope. However, poverty is not unique to modernity – reliance on external aid has existed for millennia, making this argument largely irrelevant in this discussion.

On the contrary, a broader perspective reveals significant advancements in individual agency. Until recently, people with mobility issues such as the elderly and disabled were dependent on others for support. Their health often made them unable to gain employment and earn for themselves, making them a burden to society or their families. In contrast, assistive devices, ranging from state-of-the-art electric wheelchairs to advanced prosthetic limbs, have empowered them to conduct their daily lives and provide for themselves. Furthermore, the end of archaic social barriers, which once subjected women to the authority of men in critical life decisions, has enabled billions of women worldwide to gain an education, pursue a career and make autonomous decisions regarding marriage and family life.

In conclusion, while it is true that many people need some form of financial assistance for their livelihood, this is not a novel phenomenon. Nevertheless, modern technology and progressive social movements offer far greater economic and social independence than ever before.

Some people think that success in life comes from hard work and determination, while other think that there are more important factors such as money and appearance.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Factors influencing life outcomes have long been debated and researched. To this day, some claim that hard work and determination make us successful, while others contend that there are other more significant influences. Personally, I support the latter view, as external advantages often open doors that even the most hardworking individuals may never access.

On the one hand, it is not difficult to see the clear link between one’s efforts and their achievements. In many domains ranging from academics to employment and entrepreneurship, some individuals can reach significant heights with their diligence and grit. They persevere through adversity and setbacks, persisting until they achieve their goals. Thomas Edison’s invention of the traditional light bulb is a good case in point. Edison reportedly created a thousand faulty prototypes before eventually developing his breakthrough product that cemented his name in history. If it were not for his exceptional demonstration of perseverance, he would have simply failed. This example illustrates how character and hard work indeed play a crucial role in shaping our success.

However, not everyone has a chance to apply such resilience, as external factors usually dictate what one can aspire to achieve in life. One such factor is wealth. Those born into an affluent family often receive high-quality education, gaining an edge over the less privileged. Attractive appearances can be yet another advantage, often guaranteeing people favorable treatment in virtually any domain, especially in areas such as fashion. Such individuals are not only more likely to become models but are also more likable, enjoying the admiration of fashion enthusiasts. Even more importantly, random chance can often mean the difference between a life spent in misery or unparalleled levels of success. Warren Buffett, the American investor and once the world’s richest person, repeatedly admitted how, under different circumstances, even his extraordinary skills and brilliance might not have yielded any substantial benefits. It is conceivable that a person with the same skills and character, if born into a war-torn area like Gaza in Palestine, could die without any worthwhile achievements, perhaps even before adulthood.

In conclusion, we must work hard and pursue our ambitions, without letting hardships make us hopeless. Nevertheless, we should also be aware that there are many factors outside our control that can influence our success or lack thereof. Factors such as affluence, looks and even pure chance often decide whether we succeed or not.

The Illusion of Band 9.0
The other day, while searching for reliable IELTS speaking sample answers, I stumbled across a fellow instructor's Telegram channel. They boldly claimed Band 9.0 performances for their own responses. Intrigued, I started listening. While their responses had some value for the average student, I was shocked at how many inaccuracies and mistakes I could easily spot. This raises an important question: "How much trust should we place in a candidate’s self-assessment?" (yes, even when that candidate is your teacher?

Sadly, it has become common to celebrate a handful of our success stories (7.0 or above) while conveniently ignoring the less-than-stellar outcomes (anything short of 7.0). These days another worrying trend is emerging: teachers boldly proclaiming Band 9.0 scores for their essays/speaking answers to attract followers to their blogs and boost to their reputation.

Let's agree that most of these teachers have already proven their command of English, earning impressive Band 8.5 or 9.0 for different components of the IELTS exam. Their expertise is real, but such actions do little to set a good example for students. Claiming perfection in every response leads to many missed opportunities for learning, both for the instructors concerned and their students/followers.

True growth - whether in language or life - starts with humility. A willingness to admit that even your "best" work can be improved opens the door to meaningful insights. It encourages curiosity about the nuances of language and the broader world. Instead of projecting infallibility, teachers should model the mindset of continuous learning, showing students that excellence is a journey, not a final destination.

So, what’s the solution? Honesty and modesty. Instead of claiming that your work deserves a Band 9.0 (and betting your life on it), try something more grounded: "This is a Band 7.0+ or 8.0+ response" (based on your consistent exam results. This builds credibility but also sets an good example for students.
