IELTS Writing Task 2 Sample (Package 4)


Topic

For school children, their teachers have more influence on their intelligence and social development than their parents

To what extent do you agree or disagree



Sample answer

School is a place where children can gain knowledge and develop their interpersonal skill. It is generally believed that teachers have strong influence on children’s intelligence and social development. While I accept that pupils are acquiring most of their academic skills from the teachers, I would argue that children’s manner and social traits are mostly influenced by their parents.

When it comes to the pursuit of knowledge, motivation, and critical thinking, teachers are having a very significant role in children’s development. It often starts from day one at school, that the teachers help the younger members of society to find their passion and learn how to achieve it. There are so many examples of students that owe their lifelong love of a subject to dedicated teachers who used to teach them in high school. Besides teaching and motivating their pupils, a teacher would also be someone who listen with enthusiasm, as their pupils share some insight and explain their future aspirations. This is true since education itself is the art of combining professional skill in teaching and a more personal aspect like motivation, inspiration, and social awareness.

However, it is quite undeniable that parents would more likely be a role model for children. In fact, children’s behavior is often determined by the way parents raise them. As an illustration, we can think of children who suffer from neglectful parenting style. They often model their parents and thus, become socially deprived. In the case of children who grow up in an abusive family, they often end up being a troubled student at school. Home is where children should get a good moral framework. There is no point of excelling academically if their parents do not care much about their children’s feeling and self-esteem. It is hardly possible to expect children to perform well at school, if their parents never teach them how to respect and appreciate others.

In conclusion, children’s upbringing is significantly affected by their parents. The duty of an educator is to facilitate learning, helping the children to find what they are passionate about, and teaching them how achieve their goals in life. Parents, on the other hand, should be the ones who raise their children with moral education and affection.

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

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 - Explaining

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

Today, we are going to discuss how a table is described in IELTS Writing Task 1. Previously, we have discussed three other graphs here , here and here . Although the structure of IELTS Writing Task 1 is pretty much the same, we have to always remember that the difficulty level may be different for each graph. For instance, one may find it easier to understand a bar graph, a pie chart and a line graph, but face a lot of challenges trying to describe a table. A table could be too complex too understand and this is one thing that we need to anticipate. For today's discussion, we are going to use a simple table. After learning how a simple table is described, we are going to discuss a more complex table later as an exercise. Take a look at a table below. Table Before we start writing anything, I will try to illustrate how a table could easily be read and how we choose some of the most important components to include in our writing. Take a look at an illustration below. Table The first
