Intro:
In my opinion, men and women should have the same educational opportunities.
However, I do not agree with the idea of accepting equal proportions of each
gender in every university subject.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the selection of university students should be based on merit, and it
would be both impractical and unfair to change to a selection procedure based on
gender.
Thm mt v d na :
Some people believe that exams are an inappropriate way of measuring
stude ts performance and should be replaced by continuous assessment. Do
you agree or disagree with this view?

nh:
Intro:
There is some dispute whether the best method of assessing students is to use
examinations or some form of continuous assessment. This is a complex issue and
my belief is that there is probably no one method that applies to all educational
systems.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, while continuous assessment may be fairer in some contexts, there
are
still
times
when
traditional
exams
may
be
more
appropriate.
A possible compromise would be to use both forms of testing together, allowing

teachers to reward both ability and hard work.
III. Cu trc bi vit Opinion:
y l li khuyn ca Simon i vi cu trc mt bi lun Opinion:
IELTS Writing Task 2: agree, disagree, or both?
For 'agree or disagree' essays, do you think you should give both sides of the argument
or just one side? The answer is that you can do either.
A) Essay structure for one side of the argument:

Page 4

1. Introduction: topic + your opinion (either agree or disagree)
2. First idea to support your opinion
3. Second idea to support your opinion
4. Conclusion: repeat your opinion
B) Essay structure for giving both sides:
1. Introduction: topic + say that you 'partly agree'
2. On the one hand,...
3. On the other hand,...
4. Conclusion: repeat that you accept elements of both arguments
Remember: it's very important to get the introduction right. This tells the examiner
whether you are going to give one side of the argument or both sides.
Mt li khuyn rt quan trng ca Simon na nh:

IELTS Writing Task 2: opinion, not discussion
If the question asks whether you agree or disagree, it is asking for your opinion. You
should express your opinion in the introduction, and support it in the rest of the essay.
Dont structure an opinion essay like this:
1. Introduction
2. Paragraph supporting the opposite opinion
3. Paragraph supporting my opinion
4. Conclusion
The problem with this essay structure is that paragraph 2 is not consistent with my
opinion. This is a discussion essay structure!
Think of it this way: your task when you answer an agree or disagree question is to
persuade the reader that your view is right. Each paragraph should defendyour opinion.

1. Example 1: Some people think that museums should be enjoyable places to

entertain people, while others believe that the purpose of museums is to educate.
Discuss both views and give you own opinion.
Intro: People have different views about the role and function of museums. In my
opinion, museums can and should be both entertaining and educational.
Body 1: Entertaining
Body 2: Educational
Conclusion: In conclusion, it seems to me that a good museum should be able to
offer an interesting, enjoyable and educational experience so that people can have
fun and learn something at the same time.

Body 1: On the one hand, it can be argued that the main role of a museum is
to entertain.
Body 2: On the other hand, some people argue that museums should focus on
education.
2. Example 2: 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 and give your opinion.
Page 8

Intro: When they finish school, teenagers face the dilemma of whether to get a job
or continue their education. While there are some benefits to getting a job straight
after school, I would argue that it is better to go to college or university.
Body 1: The option to start work straight after school is attractive for several
reasons.
Body 2: On the other hand, I believe that it is more beneficial for students to
continue their studies.

potential problems).
Body 1: As people live longer and the populations of developed countries grow
older, several related problems can be anticipated (Topic sentence). The main
issue is that there will obviously be more people of retirement age who will be
eligible to receive a pension. The proportion of younger, working adults will be
smaller, and governments will therefore receive less money in taxes in relation to
the size of the population. In other words, an ageing population will mean a
greater tax burden for working adults. Further pressures will include a rise in
the demand for healthcare, and the fact young adults will increasingly have to
look after their elderly relatives.
Body 2: There are several actions that governments could take to solve the
problems described above (topic sentence). Firstly, a simple solution would be to
increase the retirement age for working adults, perhaps from 65 to 70.
Nowadays, people of this age tend to be healthy enough to continue a
productive working life. A second measure would be for governments to
encourage immigration in order to increase the number of working adults who
pay taxes. Finally, money from national budgets will need to be taken from other
areas and spent on vital healthcare, accommodation and transport facilities for
the rising numbers of older citizens.

In conclusion, various measures can be taken to tackle the problems that are

to fill vacancies in specialist areas like engineering, computing and medicine.
Some people believe that by encouraging the movement of such people, rich

countries are stealing from poor countries. Others feel that this is only part of
the natural movement of workers around the world.

+ Do you think rich countries should pay poorer countries for the people they
encourage to come?
+ What other measures could rich countries take to encourage qualified people
to stay and help develop their own countries?

Body 1: Technology has had an impact on relationships in business, education and
social life. Firstly, telephones and the Internet allow business people in different
countries to interact without ever meeting each other. Secondly, services like
Skype create new possibilities for relationships between students and teachers. For
example, a student can now take video lessons with a teacher in a different city or
country. Finally, many people use social networks, like Facebook, to make new
friends and find people who share common interests, and they interact through
their computers rather than face to face.
Body 2: On the one hand, these developments can be extremely positive.
Cooperation between people in different countries was much more difficult when
communication was limited to written letters or telegrams. Nowadays,
interactions by email, phone or video are almost as good as face-to-face meetings,
and many of us benefit from these interactions, either in work or social
contexts. On the other hand, the availability of new communication technologies
can also have the result of isolating people and discouraging real interaction.
Page 14

For example, many young people choose to make friends online rather than mixing
with their peers in the real world, and these virtual relationships are a poor
substitute for real friendships.
