Model Essay<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n

Man has always been fascinated by the mystery of Nature. The process of unveiling these mysteries has made him adventurous. The last two centuries were very eventful for great adventures and discoveries were made during the period. This has made our life more easy and comfortable. Unfortunately there are fewer mysteries to unravel in the modern world and consequently no scope for adventure.<\/p>\n

In medieval times, adventure was manifest in all spheres of human life. This was because man lived on the strength of physical prowess. He waged great wars and made big conquests in his quest for supremacy. There were also many avenues for adventure in hunting and discovering new places and people.<\/p>\n

Then followed the age of great discoveries and inventions in the field of science and technology. The invention of cars, train, and the airplane drastically reduced travel time. Telegraph and telephones conquered time and distance. Diseases that were thought to be deadly, were overcome by new discoveries in the field of medicine and health care. Compared to the giant strides made during this period, there are limited avenues of discovery in the modern age. This is because fewer discoveries are now being made and those that are taking place are difficult for the common man to comprehend.<\/p>\n

Travel has always been an important avenue for adventure. Man in his unquenching thirst for thrill has made great voyages discovering new continents, oceans, countries, and even planets. Men like Columbus and Vasco Da Gama became immortal, on discovering America and India respectively. However, travel by train, car, or an aeroplane in modern time can hardly be called adventurous.<\/p>\n

Tremendous change has also taken place in the field of sports and entertainment. Thrilling sports like hunting and fighting wild animals have now made way for cricket, football, and indoor games, which by no stretch of imagination are adventurous. The excessive emphasis on studies to make a career has made life dull and devoid of excitement.<\/p>\n

The modern age has made one lazy. One has become accustomed to having the best of amenities at the click of a button. This leaves no scope for adventure in the modern world.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n Practice tip:<\/strong> A statement as broad as \u201cthere is no scope for adventure\u201d needs careful support. Define what you mean by adventure, choose examples from several areas, and make sure those examples genuinely support your position rather than merely sounding dramatic.\n <\/div>\n\n
\n
\ud83d\udca1<\/div>\n
\n
Writing Technique<\/div>\n

Understanding This Argument<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
1<\/div>\n

The essay begins with a broad definition of adventure<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The opening connects adventure with mystery, discovery and the urge to explore the unknown. This establishes the meaning of the key idea before the historical comparison begins.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
2<\/div>\n

Historical comparison becomes the main structure<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The model contrasts medieval life and the age of discoveries with modern life. Comparison across periods gives the argument a clear organising principle instead of a collection of unrelated examples.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
3<\/div>\n

Different forms of adventure are examined<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The essay considers science and invention, travel, sports and entertainment. Looking at several forms of adventure helps the writer support a claim about the whole modern world rather than one narrow activity.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
4<\/div>\n

Examples must be tested, not merely asserted<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The model uses historical travel and technological change as evidence. In your own essay, choose examples that are accurate, current where necessary, and clearly connected to your definition of adventure.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
5<\/div>\n

The conclusion links comfort with reduced adventure<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The final paragraph argues that convenience and easy access to amenities have reduced the need to face uncertainty or difficulty. Whether one agrees or disagrees, the conclusion clearly returns to the central claim.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
