Race seems to me to differ only in skin color, but in other respects it is roughly the same. In this world, there are four major races: East Asian (yellow), Caucasian (white), Nigro (black), Australian (brown). Race is a group of people with common physical characteristics at the early stage of human development. Nationality refers to the stable community of common language, common region, common economic life and common psychological quality expressed in common culture.

I think there are many kinds of racial discrimination, the most common is in the United States, white people are actually black, this is due to historical reasons, the legacy of historical problems we can not change, but discrimination can be changed. Nowadays, apart from black people being discriminated against, there are different ways of discrimination in other countries. For example, there are 56 ethnic groups in China, of which 55 are all ethnic minorities. I am a citizen of one of the ethnic minorities in China. But 55 ethnic groups enjoyed a mark-up policy on the exam, while the largest number of "Han" did not, so I think it is also a form of discrimination.

Many foreigners go to another country, often will be discriminated against and unfair treatment, such as "visa", the entry of citizens from different countries are not the same formalities, this is not discrimination?

Human beings live on the same earth, in the same world, I just hope that we can have the same dignity, can have the same treatment, against all kinds of racial discrimination, we are a family!

Racism is some comment on some different people and we have many kinds of racism, such as racism in nationalities and racism in colors and racism in religions.
Discrimination is the privilege of some peoples over others, and therefore they gain respect and trust and I've seen some discrimination in my life but not so much .
racism will make us afraid from each other and also we will not be able to trust each other

•one of main groups that humans can be divided into according to their physical differences.

•yellow,black and white races.

•Unfair treatment or perception of a certain part of the person. My experience is about regional discrimination .If most people don't know this place, they're prone to wrong judgments.Now it's much better，because now more and more people can understand the real situation through the Internet.

•Ethnic differences bring about difficulties in communication.Cause unfair treatment to arise but will produce different kinds of culture.

In modern society, racial discrimination is a serious problem. Many people are conflicting on the racial and despise. Some people are oppressed, discrminated or even bullied. So the world needs to be fair to others.

Race is the type of human being. For example, people's skin  color. Humans have many kinds of skin color. white, black and yellow. There are  three kinds of things in our world.

Discrimination is unfair treatment of others. Race has seriously affected our normal communication. However, problems must be solved. Even skin color problems, obama is the first black president in the history of the United States. Facts have proved that success is not related to skin color. For example, boxing champion Mike Tyson and Michael Jordan. Although his skin is black, he is the champion. Although his skin is black, his basketball skills are excellect.Therefore, the current world view of racial discriminarion has been gradually eliminated.
Racial discrimination is no good for human development.

Have you ever noticed some English words with hyphens between them? For example:
These are called compound adjectives - meaning an adjective that has two or more words.

In this lesson, you're going to learn some of the most compound adjectives with example sentences.

Compound Adjectives with Numbers

Don't use -s at the end of compound adjectives with numbers:

Adjective / Adverb + Past Participle

Adjective / Adverb / Noun + Present Participle (-ING)

Other Compound Adjectives

Use a hyphen when the compound adjective comes BEFORE the noun it modifies, but not when it comes AFTER the noun.

We walked into a brightly-lit room.

Talk about race, race is not biological. It is a social construct. That is as the continental of origin of one’s ancestors. Where the people isolated from other humans either  by distance, the variables us to organizeit, such as skin colour and hair texture, are arbitrary choices. Were race “ real ” in the genetic sense. We have races in the world like black and what white for example in the America’s, africa, Australia and so on.  In their country white and black colur of skin very influence in their socity.

Discrimination is making a distinction to words, a person based on the group, class, or category to which the person is perceived to belong. These include age, colour, disability, ethnicity, family status, gender identity, genetic characteristic, material status, nationality, race, religion, sex and sexual orientation.for example my self, i have experienced about discrimination because i am small and not tall like another, most of my friend lought me.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A hook is an opening statement (which is usually the first sentence) in an essay that attempts to grab the reader's attention so that they want to read on. It can be done by using a few different types of hooks, which are a question, quote, statistic, or anecdote. Be mindful that the hook has to be related to the overall topic of the paper. Here are a few examples of each type of hook.
Question Hook
A question hook is when you ask the reader something that they can visualize and try to think of in their own minds. Then, the writer answers the question.
Have you ever watched the high-flying, jump shooting, slam dunking, ankle breaking players that play in the NBA? Every time I catch a game on television and I witness the thrill of the game, I can't help but watch another one. Quotation Hook
A quotation hook is when a quote is used and explained that has relevance to the topic at hand. Make sure this quote comes from a credible source. Also, talk about the quote's meaning afterwards to ensure that the reader isn't confused.
"Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen" said Michael Jordan, arguably the best player to ever play in the NBA. Here, Jordan talks about how people want, dream, wish, and pray that they will one day make it to the big stage. These are usually the people that never make it. It is only when these dreamers and wishers take matters into their own hands and strive to be the best that they actually get to play professional basketball in the NBA. Statistic Hook
A statistic hook can be used for more informational pieces of writing. The writer uses a quote from a source that relates to the main idea of the paper, but the quote must have some type of statistics, such as numbers, decimals, or and/or percentages. The meaning and relationship of the quote to the paper needs to be explained afterwards just in case the reader does not quite understand
"Just 0.00545 percent of the 550,000 boys playing high school basketball each year in the United States become a first-round draft pick - 1 in 18,333" stated Jeff Rabjohns, a writer for The Indianapolis Star, in an article titled "Prep players face long odds of making it to NBA." Basically, only a few high school players will make it to the NBA. Even though there are many that strive, play, train, practice, and fight to be great, a huge majority of them do not make it. Anecdotal Hook
When a writer uses a short story to relate to the topic and gain the reader's attention, they are using an anecdote. This story can be a short, personal story or one that is a figment of your imagination. Make sure that it relates to the main idea of the paper. Show the relevance that it has to the topic of the paper.
When I was in high school, I remember playing in an AAU basketball league. We had to travel to downtown Philadelphia on the weekends for basketball practice. Each and every time we had basketball practice (which was at 8 a.m.), there was a boy around my age in the gym by the time we arrived. He was always covered in sweat, throwing up shots, practicing his layups, practicing his dribbling, and running laps around the gym. He was in such great shape. One day, I mustered up the courage to ask his about his ambitions, and he told me that he gets up at 5:30 a.m. to go to the gym and practice hard until my team comes in for practice. A few years later, this guy was entering the NBA draft from high school. When I saw him get drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers, I knew exactly why. All that hard work had paid off for him. This is the hard work ethics and mindset that everyone that wants to make it to the NBA should have.

First impressions are important. Some people think that doing well in interviews is the key to securing a good job.

To what extent do you agree?

Answer: This question asks for opinion. This question ‘To what extent do you agree?’ DOES NOT asks you to support one stand only.

In fact, you have 3 major options for your opinion:

AA: You completely agree (provide 2 ideas that strengthen the statement)
DD: You completely disagree (provide 2 ideas that weaken the statement)
AD: You agree or disagree partly (provide 1 idea that strengthens the statement and 1 idea that weakens it)

Below is a model answer for an IELTS complex table for writing task 1. It is not common to be given a table with so many categories and numbers. But this model essay will help you understand how to organise the information.

Download a word doc of this table by clicking: IELTS Complex Table

Source: IELTS Liz

This model answer was provided by Tony Grace, experienced IELTS tutor. See below for his website link.

The tables illustrate the proportion of people assessing six aspects of one city's life as good, average, or bad, in 1980 and 2010.

Overall, healthcare, education, and the environment were given the highest scores in both years, and transport facilities received the lowest. Meanwhile, education's rating rose over the period, while that of transportation fell.

In 1980, people rated healthcare, education, and the environment the highest, with over 80% approving of healthcare, while the other two had figures of 72%. Under 10% of respondents thought these three services were bad. As for shopping and unemployment, both had similar figures, as 62-64% expressed approval, and 22-24% said they were average. Only a half of those surveyed gave a high score to transportation, with roughly a third stating it was bad.

Turning to 2010, the most significant changes were seen in education, as over 80% were happy with it, and in healthcare whose good rating fell to 74%. The employment situation improved, as in 2010, almost three-quarters of those asked expressed satisfaction. In contrast, approval of the transport facilities fell to 39%, and a similar proportion stated it was bad. Finally, with regard to the environment and shopping, their approval levels both remained relatively unchanged.
