Hello LIZ, Hope you feeling much be er now.

I have got a question in regards to opinion essays, even though I have gone through your
advanced writing task 2 videos but still I am not sure that how to structure an opinion
essay question, for instance, frequently asked question is to what extent do you agree?
So when I write my answer, do I have to write that I am partially agree, fully disagree or
completely agree?

The instructions: “to what extent do you agree?” / “Do you agree or
disagree?” / “to what extent do you agree or disagree?” / “what do you think” etc etc –
they are all the same instructions. They are the same essays and you write your
introductions and opinions in the same way as I thought in my advanced lessons. You
do NOT need to use the words “partially” or “fully” or “agree” – just write your
opinion clearly as I explained. The list of instructions were given in the extra tips
document under the video lesson.

G’day Liz! I am aware that you don’t comment and assess on writing.
However, I still want to comment my ideas about the statement you have posted and
hoping that some students who are more knowledgeable than me can correct and
improve my writing. Thanks!
Here it is…

In most of the countries in the world, incredibly high salaries are earned by some people.
It is believed by others that giving an extremely high wages on employees benefits the
country, while others thought that the government ought to set limit on giving salaries to
workers. In my opinion, I am convinced that government should give the employees the
salaries they deserve.
On the on hand, giving high salaries to employees is one of the indication that the country
is wealthy enough to give their people the wages they deserve. High salaries can motivate
employees to remain in their work and work hard. In addition, ge ing paid with
excessive salaries can deter people from doing crimes, which are usually due to poverty
and lack of money. For instance, younger people who are being paid with good salary can
save them from hunger and can even support the financial needs of their family. Lastly,
giving a huge salary can prevent talented and skillful people from emigrating the
country.
On the other hand, government should ensure that the country’s wealth is being evenly
distributed. In addition, controlling the salary of employees can benefit the country.
Firstly, limiting salaries will mean that the government will have more funds to improve
public infrastructure, which will benefit all people in society. Secondly, wealthy
individual can be prevented in terms of gaining control with some aspects of the society.
Lastly, it will be unfair to some low-earner employees if others are being paid more than
them without due process.
In conclusion, while limiting the salary of the employees can benefit the country, I believe

https://ieltsliz.com/essay-ideas-about-salaries/ 2/5
7/26/2019 Essay Ideas about Salaries
that it is much be er if the government will provide the workers the wages they deserve
with further justification. Also, giving talented and skillful people what they deserve will
prevent them from going out of the country.

In today’s world,mostly in every part of the country,workers are earning

incredibly good salaries.It is believed by many that giving handsome salaries to the
employers is beneficial to the country,while others think that the government has put a
restriction and should not allowed salaries above a threshold level.In my opinion,i believe
that paying employers a high amount of salary boost the confidence of the employers and
encourage them to work harder.

On the one side,salaries act as a reward or incentive,different companies come with

different strategies to encourage the employers such as naming employer of the
month,reward for overwork are cited as a key examples of boosting the confidence of the
worker.Consequently,paying handsome salaries incite them to work more harder that in
turn,it benefit the company.It will refrain them from going to abroad for a be er future.In
addition to this,the employers will get a sense of satisfaction that their work is being
valued by the organisation,therefore,it strive them to do more be er.

On the other side,paying less salaries to the workers specifically,to those who are highly
skilled or proficient lower their confidence level.Workers start taking their jobs as only
some way of feeding them,rather than as a profession.Admi edly,it effect the growth of
the organisation and consequently, the country.Employers are no longer work with the
zeal and the interest and as a result,they start migrating to the abroad where there talent
should be acknowledged.

In my opinion, i strongly believe that the government should not have to limit the salaries
as it will discourage or insecure the employers and effectively it will cause the country.

To conclude,paying high salaries encourage the employers to work more harder as it

increases the confidence and endeavor it to do work harder.

Hi, Liz
Can I use “On the other hand” regardless of using “On the one hand” prior to it?

Yes. You can use “on the other hand” completely independent of “on the
one hand”.

salaries is good for people who are highly skilled while the government by limiting high
salaries would bring more equality.”
