Writing

Nowadays, the phenomenon of alternative medicine is increasing, in which an individual does not need a doctor’s prescription and it allows him to treat on his own alone without an examination. This behavior can have both positive and negative effects on the process of treatment. (45 words)

Since tradition typically supports alternative medicine, and is not taught in a medical environment, this method may have some side effects on consumers who are not aware of it, so some may even be harmful and lead to worsening conditions rather than real treatment. For example, in my country, during the Corona pandemic, an idea spread among some people in which they believed that this disease could be treated by alternative medicine associated with traditional medicine. This arbitrary decision causes some irreparable damage and creates such situations that some campaigns form to inform people about the ineffectiveness of this method. (100 words)

Although alternative medicine has clear negative consequences, its few positive aspects can even attract individuals to this service. One of the most impressive is the reduction of costs. Alternative medicine often includes herbal medicine and an ill person can, without visiting a doctor or obtain a prescription, easily visit some places like a store and treat yourself at a lower cost. This method, especially for some prevalent diseases such as colds or headaches, is effective. For example, in my country, there are stores called naturopathy stores that people visit and buy herbal medicine. Since this service does not have doctor and lab fee, is cheaper and more affordable. Also it is possible some may just go to the pharmacy and get the medicine they need. (125 words)

In conclusion, currently, the desire for alternative medicine for some reason such as lower cost is increasing and individuals that are involved in common diseases may turn to this service. In contrast, some reasons, like side effects of drugs that are unknown to ordinary consumers, are a preventive factor in this method and people who do not believe in any treatment except a medical one avoid alternative medicine.

Writing/ payments by phone or cards

In the future, it is predicted that all financial transactions will shift towards digital payments, where individuals may no longer use cash to pay for goods and services in shops. While I believe this shift may leave certain groups unsatisfied who struggle to adapt to new technology, finding it overly complex.(W.51)

With the advantage of technology, payments have become much more convenient than before. The digital payment system offers a high level of efficiency, such as the fact that there is no need to carry physical money, so people are free from carrying cash around, especially when large amounts of money are required for purchases. For instance, the young generation is more willing to use their smartphones or cards for payments, as they claim that in emergency situations, they don’t need to worry about having a sufficient amount of cash, since they can access their bank account balance anytime, anywhere.(W.99)

Some individuals, particularly the elderly, may be apprehensive about using technology, which can make it difficult for them to give up using cash. They may struggle to adapt to digital payments, and this challenge is further deteriorate for those who live in rural areas where the digital payment infrastructure is limited. For example, in my country, the older generation are the most people who are not happy to use modern payment methods because they often find it challenging to memorize and manage multiple passwords, which can lead them to rely on others, potentially putting their privacy and security at risk.(W.100)

In conclusion, the ongoing revolution in digital payment systems has significantly impacted the way we conduct transactions, which seems to be replacing paying by cash. However, despite the fact that it brings some benefits, it is difficult for special groups of people to use new technology, leading them to be reluctant to give up physical money.(W.56)

Writing/ self employed

In recent times, many individuals have chosen to pursue freelance careers over traditional employment. The main reason behind this trend is the desire for greater flexibility, which is a key benefit of self-employment. However, this choice also comes with potential drawbacks, including less job security, which can have negative consequences for these individuals.(W.53)

Some people do not like to obey rules and restrictions, so they choose to work as freelancers to enjoy more independence in the workplace. They often argue that the regulations are the greatest obstacle for them to obtain real satisfaction in their job, and also lead to lower performance. For instance, some individuals prefer to work as substitute teachers because of the inherent flexibility and autonomy it affords. In fact, it allows them to choose when and how much they work, without having to be involved in the day-to-day tasks. If they need to work more, they can easily request more teaching hours, and if they do not want to work, they are not obligated to do so. (W.118)

Self-employment can come with significant drawbacks, including income fluctuations that can be unpredictable and unreliable. Inasmuch as there is not a steady paycheck, individuals may struggle to make ends meet, as their financial security is tied to their clients payment. This uncertainty can be a major source of anxiety, affecting not only their financial stability but also their overall quality of life. The example of this is farmers, whose income is heavily dependent on factors like weather. A natural disaster, such as a flood or hailstorm, can devastate their crops, and leaving them without a steady income for an entire year.(W.104)

In conclusion, it seems that nowadays many individuals are drawn to freelancing due to the independence it offers, but this career path also comes with some disadvantages. One of the significant drawbacks is the uncertainty of income, which can lead to anxiety and financial instability.(W.45)

Writing/self-employed

These days, a number of individuals tend to work as freelancers instead of working for paid jobs. While less restrictions can be a source of this change, some negative effects such as the need for more financial support, can be faced by these people. (44w)

Less limitations may encourage the people to start their own businesses. When people work for other companies, they have to follow the rules regulated by the employer, which makes the employees more strict than ever in following the rules. People, especially young individuals, nowadays get into disputes over not following some of the rules, controlled by the founder of the company. For example, in Iran, there are a number of individuals who are self-employed and go into partnership with an individual who is the professional one, after getting laid off, which is occurred because they could not undergo the principles, guided by the employer who expects who expects the rules to be followed strongly. (103w)

The need for more financial support can be one of the disadvantages of being self-employed. People who are self-employed, always look for sponsors to raise capital, after they have started a business. Young people, who face many problems in the field of financial resources, tend to take loans from banks, because the insufficiency of financial resources, causes many problems, which have negative effects on start-ups, which often are irreparable effects. For instance, in my country, Iran, people, especially young individuals, people who are not well experienced, often suffer from not being able to provide money for their business, therefore they encounter many problems and try to find partners in order to avoid bankruptcy, which can be hazardous situation for founders. (105w)

In conclusion, these days a substantial number of individuals are encouraged to work as freelancers without any fixed salaries. The reason, can be less constraints that they face. In spite of having many advantages, they encounter many problems related to providing financial help, which makes them look for a partner. (50w)

Writing / increasing self-employment

In recent times, there is an increasing tendency for having a freelance job instead of working for established companies or organizations. Self-employment and compliance with less rules leads to this decision and facing some negative points including the higher risk. (43 words)

One of the reasons for a growing preference for self-employment is the fewer determined rules which result in more limitations and less independence. Independent work is accompanied by flexibility and permission to regularize work schedules. It lets self-employees follow their personal purpose and project with more autonomy. For instance, in my country, working as a freelance job such as owing a manufacturing workshop, give owner more opportunity to achieve a higher financial and emotional status. Because you are not compelled to follow some strict rules, you can freely decide about methods and process of producing that make you feel more creative. (101 words)

However, a self-employed being also involves a set of challenges. One of the disadvantages is encountering unpredictable risks. Since you are owner of a business, and you have to make personal decisions, you are obliged to shoulder the responsibility for any possible events and challenges. For example, in my country, although having an independent job offers a chance for professional development and higher financial position, there are some risky situations that required difficult decisions and hard effort. The owner of a proprietary company compared with employees of an established company, had to address different circumstances and manage a range of risks. (98 words)



In conclusion, despite the drawbacks of a self-reliance job and some advantages of working for a stable income, many people tend to own their own personal and independent job. This desire depends on a set of benefits that leads to increased self-employment. (42 words)

The other two meals, breakfast and lunch do not have dramatic differences in the percentage of unhealthy ingredients. In terms of all these unhealthy ingredients, breakfast contributes just over one-third of the total. The figure for lunch is less than one-third for both sodium and saturate fat, and one-fifth for added sugar. (totally 169 words)

Writing _letter

Dear Sara,

I am writing to let you know that I have recently moved to a different place. The reason behind this decision was that I felt the need for some changes in my daily life, and this movement is exactly what I wanted. I would be delighted if you could come and visit us soon.

Since I had been living in my previous apartment in downtown for 15 years, I felt a desperate need of more peace and calm away from the hustle and bustle. Therefore, I bought a new house in the suburbs. This decision has brought more satisfaction into my life.

My new home is located in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, surrounded by lush and verdant. I also enjoy more privacy in my new place.

I hope you will accept my invitation and come to visit us as soon as possible. I cannot wait to show you around my new place, host a dinner party, and take a leisurely walk through the green surroundings. I am sure we will have a wonderful time together.

Please let me know which dates work best for you.

Looking forward to your visit!

writing – process – manufacturing of noodle

The diagram illustrates the manufacturing process of instant noodles through eight steps, beginning with the storage silos stage and concluding with the labeling stage for consumers. (26 words)

This process begins with flour storage, where two silos have been constructed for continues flour supply. In the first step, flour is transported by trunk and accumulated in the storage area, then water and oil are added to the flour then is mixed together. The mixed flour is conveyed from the mixer machine to mechanical rollers for preparing dough sheets. In the following step, cutter machine transformed the dough sheets into layers of strips, and the strip dough is prepared in the shape of discs for cooking with oil in an oven integrated into the machine. After cooking the noodles are dried.

writing / agriculture/ problem and solutionDespite significant progress in the field of agriculture, part of the global population still suffers from food shortage. An important reason for this issue is drought caused by climate change that arises problems regarding malnutrition and hunger. Planting drought-resistant crops that can bear tough conditions is an efficient measure. (49 words)Drought caused by climate change is an important environmental challenge that affects the ecosystem, agriculture, and water resources. Higher temperatures can lead to reduction in the health, moisture of soil, and water availability. Also lower rainfall is another negative impact of climate change that result in drought in some regions. The change in these patterns will degenerate into the lack of agricultural products. For instance, in the southeastern lands of my country, destruction of the Hamun wetland and its border lands affected by climate change, especially lower rainfall and even occasional devastating floods, have turned these areas into barren regions with eroded, salty soil. (100 words)Drought-resistant crops are typically grown in regions that experience low rainfall, high temperatures, or extreme weather. These crops have deeper roots allowing them to access moisture stored in the soil, so they can withstand dry weather. Also, some drought-resistant crops have smaller leaves which help them lose lower water on hot days. For example, in my country, Canola fields are a good model of a drought tolerant crop with adaptability to any soil. On the other hand, Ra pe prepares soil to plant crops such as wheat and barley, which are high consumption products.. (93 words)In conclusion, while new technology has facilitated and accelerated the agricultural industry, some countries are still facing food shortages. In my opinion, drought-resistant crops play a crucial role in adapting agriculture to changing climate conditions and contributing to global food security. Acquainting these areas with such products is essential in the face of climate change. (54 words)

Writing / problem- solution/ second paragraph and conclusion

Indeed a logical structure to manage this issue is to acquaint farmers with new technology. If they are trained in modern agricultural process, significant progress in their final results will be made. Nevertheless, nobody can deny the important role of the government in introducing and investing in new approaches to promote farmers through incentive strategy. In fact, they should have easy access to both new mechanisms and machinery as well as be kept fully informed of sustainable farming practices. In my country, recently the government has effectively implemented a program that provided fertilizers and pesticides by local NGOs at fairly reasonable prices to protect their crops. Therefore, good cooperation has led to remarkable achievements in outcomes. (116words)

In conclusion, although implementing obsolete methods in some portions of the world threatens poor nations’ lives, this trouble will be addressed by modern techniques if the farmers are supported with monetary policy and public awareness by the government. (38words)

Writing / agriculture / first paragraph

In many countries, especially in poorer nations, lack access to up-to-date technologies and modern equipment for cultivation forcing the people to work with old facilities. In this case a large amount of land is used inefficiently for growing crops, leading to lower yields, that are insufficient to feed the population. For instance, in the southern part of my country, where known for its water shortage and high temperatures, a significant amount of water resources are being wasted or evaporating due to the lack of modern irrigation facilities. By effectively using this water, farmers could significantly increase crop production to fight against starvation. (W.102)

 تصحیح پاراگراف اول Writing / unpaid services

Carrying out unpaid compulsory activities in schools can provide an effective situation for students to become familiar with kinds of humanitarian affairs. Promoting a sense of civic duty increases awareness and comprehension of their collective actions in society. For example, in my country some events and festivals are held in schools to attract students to activities such as helping poor students with delivering cloths and stationary. Also, they are encouraged to form groups to learn abilities for carrying out some responsibilities related to natural environments and public tasks such as planting trees and being a police assistant.
