IELTS Writing Task 2 Sample (Package 5)



Topic
As computers are being used more and more in education, there will be soon no role for teachers in the classroom


Sample Answer

Technological advancement has significant impact on almost all human life aspects, especially education. Nowadays, there are more and more students who rely on computer when learning or doing school assignment. Some of them have even taken online learning to another level by completely leaving the traditional way of teaching and learning. This has raised a concern regarding the possibility of education being entirely taken over by technology.

Computer is an amazing tool which can be used to help the users accomplish certain task, ranging from the simplest task to the most complex one. Learning is no exception. The role of computer becomes more and more important as internet was invented, making it possible for the people to share and access information. Nowadays, there are so many online learning platform which can help students learn better through educational content, pdf books and podcast. In university level, it is common for the students to learn through distance learning. This has posed several challenges to educators, as they have to catch up with technology and update –and in some cases, upgrade their teaching method. Despite the fact that technology has become a common means of learning, I strongly agree that it will never replace the role of a teacher.

There are several reasons why technology can never replace a teacher. First of all, education is not just about transferring knowledge and skill to the pupils. There are so many cases where it involves giving motivation, realizing someone potentials, helping students with their self-regulation, and finding the best way of achieving someone’s future success. In terms of access to knowledge and information, technology seems to be undefeated. This is true since internet has created a web of knowledge which makes it possible for human to learn everything online. Secondly, computer will never be able to consider the students’ feeling and motivation, since the relationship between the two does not involve any emotional aspect. Teachers, on the other hand, never fail to give emotional support for the students. For example, when a student is having a personal problem with their family or peers, a teacher knows how to help the student deal with their problem, and not just telling them to finish certain task.

To conclude, there are several aspects involved in education. When it comes to the access of information and the transfer of knowledge, computer will be a great help in teaching and learning process. However, we have to remember that educating a person is not the same as installing a program to a computer. There are many aspects of education that technology can’t handle, and this is why it will never replace the role of a teacher.

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.

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
