You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Failure is proof that the desire wasn’t strong enough. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

Give reasons for your answer.

You should write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer 1:


Everyone has undergone through difficult changes and experienced ups and downs in his or her life. It is undoubtedly a normal trend in our life. However, I do not entirely agree that failure is dependent only on someone’s insufficient wish to succeed in a specific area.

It does not seem unreasonable to suggest that during evaluation of this situation many factors should be counted. Someone, for instance, may have set a goal to launch a business but unexpectedly got married. This case is understandable and does not deserve any blame. One may prefer making a family while another would rather continue going straightforward to his or her dream. It is an individual choice based on personal preferences and life principles.

On the other hand, I agree that failure means the person was not goal-driven and self-disciplined enough. This relates to many cases including a well-known problem with obesity. If a person has decided to lose a certain amount of weight then no obstacles should stop him. He does not have to give any easy or make excuses. In fact, if his goal is not achieved, as a result he will not prove to himself he is strong and motivated human being. It means his wish was not powerful enough.

The famous and great people of history have tried many things over and over again and there were lots of experiment that were not successful. The failure is not the key measurement of the determination and effort put towards accomplishing something.,

One could draw the conclusion that everything depends on an individual. Human being may accomplish tremendous results as a proof of indescribably powerful motivation or end up without completing fully his task.

Sample Answer 2:


It is believed that when people fail, it means that he did not have enough determination. I personally disagree with the statement, as I believe that failure is the learning process in life and the following essay will discuss it in details.

Some people think that when we fail in doing things in life, it means that we are not serious enough in doing them. Many people think that when people have a strong determination, they will try their best in their work, and they will succeed. Failure should not be an option if things are prepared well.

However, many people do not realise that behind the great achievement of successful people, they also have had failure moments. But these people had learned from their mistakes and improved their work, and as a consequence, they got better results. For example, Michael Jordan was dropped from his elementary school basketball team since the coach believed that he had not talent in basketball. But then Michael consistently practised his shooting ability and worked harder than all the other students. In the end, he became one of the great basketball legends in NBA history. Another exemplary case could be Thomas Edison who invented the light bulb. Doing so he had failed several times but these failures do not indicate that this one of the greatest inventors of all time had the lack of determination or desire. Rather he learned from his failures and finally invented a working lightbulb that was the base for the modern electric light bulbs we use nowadays.

In conclusion, I do not agree when people think that failure is a result of less encouragement and a lack of motivation. I believe that failure is a moment in life, where we should inspect our life and try to improve things. Once we do that, I am certain that we will achieve more in the future.
