Duolingo Writing Topics with Answers, “Write at least 50 words”
Q1 .If you have children, what would you differently from your parents while bringing them up?
[Tips for Answer: For the answer you can share your own thinking about how your parents brought you up and what difference you want to create for your kids.]
Here is the sample answer:
Answer
“Parenting is a challenging responsibility. We cannot undermine the struggle and hard work of our parents who raised us and made us a priority in their lives. I am thankful to my parents for their unconditional love and care, though I would like to change something for my kids, and that is making them more confident to meet the challenges of the changing times.”
“My parents wanted me to study the field of education they chose for me, while I think I would like my kids to be independent in their choice of educational field. I would also encourage them to be multi skilled since I feel that today’s world has more opportunities for people with practical skills.”
“Generally speaking, I would give my children more freedom than my parents gave me.”
Q2.Why do some friendships last longer than others?Give your opinion.
[Tips for Answer: This is a kind of philosophical question. You can list any reasons according to your observation or experience why some friendships last longer than other.]
Now let’s read the sample answer:
Answer
“Friendship is all about trust, sharing, and sincerity. Many times people are together to share good times. Once the fun time is over, they are never seen together. Idiomatically, such friends are called fair weather friends. Many people make friends as a part of socializing and only a few have the potential to last for a lifetime. People who genuinely care about the other person want to have him or her for a long time.”
“That is why if two people are equally sincere and mentally compatible, their friendship will last longer. Otherwise, they will part after a short time. In my opinion it is also a matter of luck if someone can find sincere and long standing friendships.”
“In short, if the logic behind making friends is socializing or temporary fun time; these friendships will not be lifelong.On the other hand, friendships based on care and sincerity will have the potential to last longer.”
Q3. Describe a time when someone was treated unfairly? What happened?
[Tips for Answer: For this question you can recall an incident from your own observation or experience or even an incident you heard about from friends or in the news. If you can’t remember any, try to make up something like this.]
The following is a sample answer:
Answer
“I remember an incident from my school when a student was suspected of stealing the notebooks of other students. His name was Brian. He was a grade 9 student and was very sociable and outgoing. One day some students complained about their missing notebooks. One also claimed that he witnessed Brian stealing someone’s notebook.”
“The teachers and the principal launched an inquiry and Brian had to deal with many questions from the teachers and the principal.But they could not find anything. Any ways, the teacher started keeping an eye on the students closely. So one day, he found one of the students hiding someone’s notebook in Brian’s drawer. That day the teacher realized that Brian might had been a victim of a conspiracy from a classmate and that the school has been unfair in its treatment of Brian. “
“After this disclosure, the teacher had to apologize to Brian and the real culprit received a warning letter. This is how it all ended.”
Q4.What is the importance of cars and aeroplanes in the modern life? Explain.
[Tips for answer: So you are given a statement and then you have to explain it. Here you can imagine the situation without cars and aeroplanes, so you can write an answer from your own experience or you can understand why it is important to have cars and aeroplanes and other modes of transport. You can raise many arguments in support of your answer but you only have five minutes to answer so can only summarize our opinions.]
Let’s take a look at the answer now:
Answer
“I would say that life is unimaginable without the fast modes of transport like cars and airplanes. In today’s fast-paced world think of a place without personal cars. It would be extremely hard to get to work. May be public buses are an option but most of the commuters rely on personal cars to get to work.
“Talking of the planes, if there are no planes, there would be no travel possible between the far off places or countries. There would be no tourism and no trade. The economy of the world will decline to the earliest centuries of human civilization. All the progress that has been made in the world so far is mostly dependent on the means of transport that connect us to other regions.”
“That is why, having the fast and latest modes of transport are mandatory for us in the current times.”
Q5.Describe an interest or hobby that you particularly enjoy? What is it and why is it important to you?
[ Tips for Answer: If the question has more than one part, try answering all the parts in sequence. For this question you can describe any hobby of your choice. Reading is just one hobby or interest. You can write about watching movies or hanging out with friends or gardening as your hobbies or interests. Now let’s take a look at the example answer.]
Answer
“I enjoy doing many things on regular basis but one hobby that springs to mind is reading. I would say that I never get tired of it. I have had many books since I was a teenager.For reading, I share my father’s taste in books. He was mainly interested in literature and philosophy. I still have the same interest but I also like to read travelogues. Reading transports me to a whole new world and I feel relaxed and stress-free. While I’m with books, I like to read books alone but I always share interesting stuff I read with my family. “
“Finally I would say that it is important to me because I got its inspiration from my father.”
