CONTOH WRITING TASK 2 IELTS

Topic:

It is important to involve punishment when educating children so that they can distinguish right and wrong. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this notion?

Knowing the difference between right and wrong is very important to be taught to children of younger age. I agree with the notion of teaching the difference between right and wrong by involving the use of punishment with some considerations. This essay aims to propose some reasons why coercion is needed in early age education along with some explanations on the extent of the use of coercive teaching for children.
Most people are against the use of punishment when teaching moral to children. They argue that coercive method may limit creativity and result in a severe psychological damage. In a family that has more democratic sense of education, the process of value internalization is done by using more persuasive way such as challenging others’ opinion in an open conversation, giving suggestion and critics, or even proposing solutions and feedback if it’s deemed necessary. However, this method is not always in accordance with the need of children of early stage learning. This may be because children simply do not aware that right and joy always come along with responsibilities, especially when dealing with the social norms and values. In this case, coercive practice in a form of punishment may be necessary to give a solid base of education and moral.
Some people prefer to apply punishment and reward when teaching their children. According to behaviorism theory, values and norms are better taught by means of repetition, internalization, and evaluation. Repetition consists of mimicking sayings and actions that comply with social values and norms. When the values and norms are understood by the children, they will do it in real actions and this may lead to acquisition in which they finally acquire the understanding the do and the don’t in social context. For them who already got the idea and implement it actual actions, reward in forms of social acceptance and affection are given. These reward will eventually reinforce the internalization and lead to other social learning stage.

However, some children may fail in one or more stages that coercion has to be applied. Punishment can be done as an alternative of early education. It ranges from verbal punishment to physical punishment. Verbal is usually done by parents by telling their children not to do bad things such as going to bed late, not brushing their teeth, and so on. Physical punishment is somehow more common in academic setting. Teachers sometimes pinch, or hit their students using a ruler to teach that what they are doing is wrong. There has been a long debate about whether or not a physical punishment is allowed. In my opinion, it is okay to punish children physically as long as it’s meant for educational purpose. It is believed that physical coercion is quite effective to teach them that society has rules and the failure to be adherent to such rules may lead to certain consequences.

IELTS Writing Task 1 - Pie Chart (Material, Sample Writing and Exercise)

Gambar
In the previous articles, we have discussed how line graph and bar graph are supposed to be described. Today, we are going to discuss the pie charts, which are also  commonly used in IELTS Writing Task 1 . In IELTS Writing Task 1, it is possible to have a single pie chart or two pie charts. As far as I know, it is pretty unlikely that we only have one pie chart, because it would mean that there is very little information to be written, making it nearly impossible to write 150 words. So, normally, we have two pie charts or a pie chart and another graph. We're not going to discuss a combination of pie chart and other graph today, since my initial plan was that I would explain every single graph in IELTS Writing Task 1, and then continue with combined graphs. Now, let's take a look at sample pie charts below. Pie Chart The first thing that we need to figure out when doing IELTS Writing Task 1 is how the ideas are going to be structured. What information should be included in parag...

We have discussed how a line graph is described in the previous post. Today, I would like to discuss another graph commonly used in IELTS Writing Task 1, the bar graph. As I said, I am going to breakdown each graph in IELTS Writing Task 1, and this is the second article that I write. You can read the first article in here , and learn the general structure of writing task 1 in here . Bar Graph Before discussing the bar graph above, let's take a look at the common structure of IELTS Writing Task 1 below: Paragraph 1 - Introduction - Explaining Variables - Explaining Major Trend Paragraph 2 Trend 1 (proportion, lowest/highest point, increase/decrease) Paragraph 3 Trend 2 (proportion, lowest/highest point, increase/decrease) Now, let's discuss how a bar graph should be described step by step. Paragraph 1 Introduction As usual, the first thing that we have to do when doing IELTS Writing Task 1 is explaining what the graph is about. This is done by paraphrasing the original title. Ta...

IELTS Writing Task 1 - Line Graph (Material, Sample Writing and Exercise)

IELTS Writing Task 1 is one of the two writing tasks in IELTS. You will be asked to describe a graph and write at least 150 words. I have written an article on IELTS Writing Task 1 before, as well as some revised versions of that article. But the explanation is way too general. I just explained the writing structure and gave a sample writing.  From now on, I will breakdown that article into several posts that explain how each graph (bar graph, line graph, pie chart, map, process, and combined graphs) is done. There will be a lot of posts following this initial post, because each graph, or the combination of two graphs, may vary in terms of level of difficulty and trend. We are going to start this long discussion by describing a line graph. Take a look at a sample graph below. Line Graph Before describing the line graph, you should remember that writing task 1 structure is described as follows: Paragraph 1 Overview - Giving a general introduction - Explaining the variables - Explain...
