OPINION:

Ex1: Some people think that all teenagers should be required to do unpaid work in their free time to help the local

community. They believe this would benefit both the individual teenager and society as a whole.

Do you agree or disagree?

-> INTRODUCTION:

Many young people work on a volunteer basis, and this can only be beneficial for both the individual and society as

a whole. However, I do not agree that we should therefore force all teenagers to do unpaid work.

Ex 2: Foreign visitors should pay more than local visitors for cultural and historical attractions. To what extent do

you agree or disagree with this opinion?

It is sometimes argued that tourists from overseas should be charged more than local residents to visit important

sites and monuments. I completely disagree with this idea.

When choosing a job, the salary is the most important consideration. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

-> INTRODUCTION:

IELTS WRITING


Many people choose their jobs based on the size of the salary offered. Personally, I disagree with the idea

that money is the key consideration when deciding on a career, because I believe that other factors are equally

important.

DISCUSSION:

Some people believe that studying at university or college is the best route to a successful career, while others

believe that it is better to get a job straight after school.

Discuss both views.

-> INTRODUCTION:

When they finish school, teenagers face the dilemma of whether to get a job or continue their education. While

there are benefits to getting a job straight after school, there are also good reasons why it might be beneficial to

go to college or university.

DISCUSSION + OPINION:

Some people regard video games as harmless fun, or even as a useful educational tool. Others, however, believe that

videos games are having an adverse effect on the people who play them. In your opinion, do the drawbacks of video

games outweigh the benefits?

-> INTRODUCTION:

Many people, and children in particular, enjoy playing computer games. While I accept that these games can

sometimes have a positive effect on the user, I believe that they are more likely to have a harmful impact.

PROBLEMS + SOLUTIONS

In the developed world, average life expectancy is increasing. What problems will this cause for individuals and

society? Suggest some measures that could be taken to reduce the impact of ageing populations.

-> INTRODUCTION:

It is true that people in industrialised nations can expect to live longer than ever before. Although there will

undoubtedly be some negative consequences of this trend, societies can take steps to mitigate these potential

problems.

2-PART QUESTION

Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology.

In what ways has technology affected the types of relationships that people make? Has this been a positive or

negative development?

-> INTRODUCTION:

It is true that new technologies have had an influence on communication between people. Technology has affected

relationships in various ways, and in my opinion there are both positive and negative effects.

PHN TCH CHI TI T M T BI TASK 2 D NG DISCUSS

Some people believe that studying at university or college is the best route to a successful career, while

others believe that it is better to get a job straight after school.

Discuss both views

ANSWER:

people suppose that continuing to study at university or college can be the best way to guarantee their successful

career, whereas others believe working right after school is much better.

Working straight after graduation is beneficial in some ways. Firstly, young people are able to earn money as soon

as possible. If they finish high school, they will be mature enough to live independently on their own income. It is

studying higher is likely to progress rapidly in their career. This may bring about a good chance to obtain a lot of

real experience and skills for their chosen profession.

On the other hand, there are a variety of reasons why people have a tendency of choosing to continue education

after high school. First, a college education will provide young people with more qualifications, which is what most

employers expect these days. University graduates will probably get a much higher salary than those without

university education. Furthermore, the job market is becoming more and more competitive. In fact, people would be

well-advised to get a degree, as hundreds of applicants often chase the top jobs. It is an obvious advantage for

university graduates. For example, graduate engineers in Vietnam are highly paid and find it easy to get a top job

In conclusion, it seems evident that both working right after school and choosing to continue higher study are

1. MOREOVER, DEMERITS, HENCE / THUSLY

I ban my students from using certain words in the IELTS test. The easiest way for me to explain why I ban these

words is that most native speakers wouldn't use them if they were doing the test. Here are a few of my least

favourites:

Moreover - Native speakers hardly ever use this word, and students tend to use it wrongly. Just use 'furthermore' or

'also'.

Demerits - It's ok to talk about the 'merits' of something, but the word 'demerits' seems unnatural. Just use

'disadvantages' or 'drawbacks'.

Hence / Thusly - These words sound too formal and old-fashioned. Just use 'therefore' or 'as a result'.

2. IN A NUTSHELL, IN SUMMARY OR TO SUMMARISE

You need to send a SIGNAL to the examiner that you are making the conclusion to your

essay. I like the phrase in conclusion best. I suggest you just use this as it can be used for ALL

THREE types of essays. The more you can avoid the need to have to remember and correctly

apply different phrases for each type of essay the better. I really hate in a nutshell. I think

It is not impressive; I feel it is a clich,

my main points you will have to not use these phrases with certain types of essays. For

instance, with a both sides and opinion essay you are not really summarising your main

points in the final paragraph, you are giving your own opinion

PHN TCH M T BI VI T D NG DISCUSS + OPINION

TOPIC: Some people think that computers and the Internet aremore important for a child's education than

going to school. But others believethat schools and teachers are essential for children to learn effectively.Discuss

both views and give your own opinion

ANSWER:

With the number of technological advances growing apace, it is generally believed that Internet and computers will

supplant the traditional role of teachers in a not too distant future. This idea may point out to two main directions,

both of which present different arguments.

Central to the supporting arguments of this issue is the idea that the global online network is the inexhaustible

source of information, which definitely exceeds the fund of knowledge that any veteran teacher can accumulate.

Internet and computer also offer a more comprehensive access to knowledge, ranging from visual to aural stimuli,

which make learning an ever enjoyable experience, especially for children.

On the other hand, critics of this idea maintain that although the educational benefits that the Internet may yield are

undeniable, there still remain certain shortcomings. Much information as the Internet may provide, most of the

sources are unjustified by experts. As a result, information from those sources is subject to question. Admittedly, the

computer can show whether an answer to a particular question is right or wrong but it cannot give as an in-depth

explanation as a human teacher can. Through face-to-face communication, teachers can also pinpoint the

weaknesses of each student and therefore, adjusting and tailoring his or her teaching methodology to meet the levels

or the demands of those students. This is where the computer proves to be incompetent.

In short, although both sides have their equally valid arguments, I am inclined to think that although Internet can be

a useful tool for education, at no time will the unique role of human teachers be replaced.

BI VI T D NG OPINION BAND 8.0

Some people think that all teenagers should be required to do unpaid work in

their free time to help the local community. They believe this would benefit both

the individual teenager and society as a whole.

Do you agree or disagree?

Bi ny m i c th tham kh o bi vi t c a th y Simon (ielts-sim m "hon ton".

mnh vi m 1 ph m i bi t tham kh o cch tri ng "m t ph

no

ANSWER: All teenagers are thought to be required to work voluntarily in order to help the local community in

their spare time. In my opinion, I partly agree with this idea.

On the one hand, unpaid work is quite necessary for both individual teenagers and society. Firstly, it allows

teenagers to broaden their own knowledge about different fields and their communities through real experiences. If

the only learning that teenagers do is in the classroom, they will learn very little about reality and how to manage

actual problems and communicate with others. Secondly, voluntary work makes young people appreciate their

resume when they seek a job in the future. Finally, volunteering saves financial resources that would otherwise have

to be used to help the local community .

On the other hand, teenagers ought not to be forced to do unpaid work to benefit either themselves or society at all.

First, the incredible pressure of studying at school accounts for a great deal of their time. Furthermore, if young

people were obligated to volunteer, they might feel as if they were losing their youth. This could result in

psychological problems. Last but not least, forcing anyone to do anything goes against the values of a free and fair

society, let alone forcing young people to work voluntarily. In a society that respects the right of freedom, people

are entitled to live and work as they want.

In conclusion, although I accept that doing volunteer work can be beneficial for teenagers, i disagree with the idea

that we should make this compulsory. (258 words)
