=> Với cách viết Task 2 IELTS ở dạng này, người viết chỉ cần chia hai đoạn thân bài, lần lượt phân tích mặt tích cực và tiêu cực là xong.

=> Trong ví dụ này, chúng ta sẽ phải nói rõ mặt tích cực hay tiêu cực mạnh hơn và điều này cũng sẽ ảnh hưởng đến cấu trúc bài viết. Nếu bạn chọn viết về mặt tích cực thì bạn cần nêu rõ lý do vì sao cũng như phải thể hiện rõ ý kiến của mình.

=> Đối với kiểu bài này, chúng ta sẽ phải thảo luận và nêu ý kiến của mình trong bài viết. Bài viết sẽ bao gồm các đoạn văn thể hiện mặt tích cực, tiêu cực và câu Thesis Statement cũng cần được làm nổi bật.

Dạng đề này khá thú vị với hai câu hỏi yêu cầu bạn phải trả lời từng câu, phân tích, nêu lý do và lấy ví dụ chứng minh cho câu trả lời của mình. Mỗi câu hỏi sẽ trả lời bằng một đoạn trong thân bài (thân bài sẽ có 2 đoạn) và ở đoạn thứ hai sẽ có lời dẫn để có kết nối với đoạn đầu tiên. Như vậy chúng ta có thể vừa trả lời cả hai câu hỏi một cách rõ ràng và đủ ý mà vẫn giữ được khả năng liên kết của toàn bài.

Sơ lược về Writing Task 2 trong bài thi IELTS

Dưới đây là 2 yếu tố quan trọng bạn cần nắm về IELTS Writing Task 2:

Trước khi bắt tay vào viết, bạn cần hiểu rõ writing task 2 yêu cầu thí sinh điều gì. Đề bài là viết bài luận, nêu ý kiến, suy nghĩ của thí sinh về một vấn đề, quan điểm liên quan đến các chủ đề về cuộc sống, giáo dục, y tế, kinh tế…

Bài luận yêu cầu tối thiểu 250 chữ và chiếm ⅔ số điểm của bài thi Writing. Thông thường, bạn sẽ cần khoảng 40 phút/60 phút để hoàn thành task 2.

Bài IELTS Writing ở Task 2 cần có bố cục ra sao?

Một bài viết luận sẽ có 4 phần cơ bản bao gồm:

– Supporting Paragraph 1: Thân bài 1

Mỗi phần được sử dụng để nêu lên một ý riêng, giải thích và đem ví dụ chi tiết trình bày quan điểm phù hợp nhất. Những từ nối hay các từ dùng để liên kết rất quan trọng trong việc tạo nên sự mạch lạc giữa các phần. Hơn hết, bạn cần nên luyện tập thật nhiều để có thể viết nhuần nhuyễn khi gặp các chủ đề khác nhau vì “Practice makes perfect” (Có công mài sắt, có ngày nên kim).

Some people say that outdoor activities benefit children’s development rather than computer games. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

While the traditional viewpoint is that computer games are harmful to children in many ways, time has shown that people who game a lot still turn out fine. However, physical exercise should not be neglectedeither.

‘The computer screen will hurt your eyes!’ is the commonly heard complaintthat parents have been using since computer gaming started. I am glad I did not listen to my mother when she said this as I have loved gaming from 11 years old right up to the present, and it has had no discernibleeffect on my vision. Although other physical problems may arise, such as repetitivestrain injury or a sore back, these can be practically eliminatedwith proper management and frequent breaks.

Engaging insome kind of exercise several times a week will surely benefit anyone in the long run as well as immediately. The beneficial effects of this have been well established as scientific facts. In addition, time spent on physical education will increase the effectiveness of any activities and help to avoid injuries.

Computer games also require various mental skills, such as task solving, memory retentionand recall, and the ability to adapt quickly to new situations. All these soft skills could be very useful later on in life.

In conclusion, combining regular physical exertionwith reasonable time spent on computer games will surely allow a child to develop both physically and mentally, perhaps resulting in a superioroutcome to those who do not mix things up.

Today different types of robots are developed which are good friends to us and help us both at home and work.

Is this a positive or negative development?

A large variety of highly advancedmachines have impactednearly every aspectof modern life and society; from the design of towns and cities, to the layoutof homes and automobiles, machines have changed the world. Currently, autonomous devicesaid people at both their dwellingsand their workplaces. This essay will discuss the advantages that these technical marvelspresent to modern people.

Laborious houseworkhas all but become a thing of the past. Firstly, it is no longer the case that people need to do much hand washing of clothing and dishes for eating. For example, in many homes around the globe, devices like garment washing machines, dishwashers, and automated vacuum cleaners: like the Roomba, assist residentsin completing their previously backbreaking household chores. Secondly, extreme heat and cold are no longer issues for many people. With the advent of the programmableelectric heater and air conditioner, masteryof the internal temperature of the home has become a reality. The next paragraph will discuss workplace machines.

The typical office has been transformed by the installation of various pieces of robot-like equipment. Some companies have employed the usage of automatic mail delivering machines. Although this has taken some work away from human employees, it has also ensured quick and efficient delivery of important documents. Another massivetime-saver is the modern-day photocopier. Far from their predecessors, these newer machines can be programmed to perform many tasks such as the sorting of documentation to the stapling of custom sized booklets.

In conclusion, robot-like machines have been extremely beneficial to modern man. They have increased leisure timeby making housework lesslabour intensive, they have allowed people to regulate the temperature of their homes regardless of the season, and they have improved corporate efficiency. In the future, people all over the world may have more free-time to undertake creative projects thanks to technological advancements.

It is now possible for scientists and tourists to travel to remote natural environments, such as the South pole.

Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

Explorers, along with scientists, have long traveled to previously inaccessible locations in the interests of exploration and understanding our world better. Now tourists are also going on excursions there for purely personal reasons with potentially serious effects such as bringing in pollutants and disturbing local wildlife. The benefits of such activities are therefore highly contentious.

For thousands of years, mankind has sought to reach every part of this world in the interest of discovering it all and learning as much as possible. This has opened up these remote areas to human encroachment at a level never experienced before; for example, after the Southern Pacific Ocean was mapped, whalers and seal hunters were sent there in droves to bring back whale oil & seal skins for burgeoning European markets. This brought riches to many merchants and an expansion of trade networks which definitely increased the world economy. However, there were no controls on the killing, so some species were hunted tonear or complete extinction, affecting the natural ecosystem greatly.

As the world economy has grown, more people have taken to traveling to remote places, even back in the early 1980’s tourists could take a commercial flight over Antarctica from New Zealand, until a plane crashed into a mountain in bad polar weather. While this is a disaster for the people killed, their families and the tourism industry, it also severely impacted a pristine environment, with debris scattered over a large area. This is not anisolated incident either as thousands of tourist boats go to unexplored areas such as Northern Alaska every year, all impacting onfragile environments, including wildlife such as Polar Bears.

Overall, the only advantage I can see is scientific research, which can bringincalculable benefitswhereas the negatives are manifold, from pollution, including from accidents, to deliberate hunting of endangered species. Personally, I believe these areas should only be open to carefullyvettedscientific research to ensure future generations still have this as part of their world.

Genetic engineering is an important issue in society today. Some people think that it will improve people’s lives in many ways. Others feel that it may be a threat to life on earth. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

It is true that genetic engineeringis a key area of modern scientific research, with broad implicationsfor all human societies. While I accept that this field of technology may have its dangers, I believe that the benefits of genetic engineering outweigh the drawbacks.

The negative implications of genetic engineering are often discussed in terms of two key areas, which are food production and the cloning of humans. Genetically modified cropsare already being grown, and people are concerned that they may damage whole ecosystemsas foods become resistantto diseases and natural predators. But perhaps even more worrying is the possibility that humans could be modified or cloned. Some people imagine a world in which cloned humans are used to fight wars or to provide body part replacements. Although perhaps not a threat to life on earth, the implications of such practices would be unprecedented.

A more optimistic prediction, and one that I favour, is that humans will find ways to mitigatethe risks and use genetic technologies in a responsible way. From the food production perspective, genetic engineering could be the solution to faminein developing countries, if, for instance, crops can be grown more reliably in harsh conditions. From a medical perspective, scientists may use genetic engineering to produce vaccines, to cure diseases, or to correct a genetic defectbefore a child is born. If properly regulated, even cloning can be done in a way that improves lives. For example, the cloning of individualorgans, such as a heart or kidney, could be permitted for transplant purposes.

In conclusion, I am convinced that genetic engineering will have a positive impact on our lives, and that people’s fears will be unwarranted.

Society is based on rules and laws. It could not function if individuals were free to do whatever they wanted to do. To what extent do you agree or not?

“Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose,” retorteda great poet. That is a great conceptbut does that mean that we can do whatever we like without repercussions? I believe not, as any action will always have some kind of effect on others.

It is always easy to harm others, whether it is intentionalor not. That is why society is heavily regulatedand becoming more so with every passing year. If we drive too fast, we will obviously hurt someone else before too long. “No man is an island,” all those around us affect us as we affect others in turn; therefore, we have to have limits to our behaviour to ensurethat everyone is safe to live their lives the way they choose.

Although our choices are limited by laws and morals, I still believe that we have plenty of freedom to live our lives happily in most countries in the world. Too much restrictionforces us to live in certain ways that may not allow us to express ourselves in a way that’s true to ourselves. So whoever makes the rules must do so altruistically.

In sum, without the necessary limitations that keep us safe, society could never be stablefor long. However, over-regulatingcan be just as restrictive. Balance is therefore needed.

The qualities that help people reach success in modern life cannot be learned in university or other academic institutions. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Success does not carry the same meaningfor everyone. Some people believe that the sources required to become successful cannot be taught in educational facilitiesand tertiary education. This essay will discuss the ideas above.

To begin, it is clear that some people are born with the skills required to become very successful in life. However, it is unclear what is meant by the word “success”. To some, success means having a happy family, while to others, success might represent financial security. In modern society, it seems to be getting harder and harder for people to specify what makes them happy. Advances in technology have allowed for the democratization of informationvia smart technology, affordable air-travel, and remote communication with friends and family. Still, researchers have noted increases in depression rates in countries all over the world. In some Asian countries where the family was traditionally the primary source of happiness and success, people have become lonelier and more depressed as they have adopted the materialistic lifestyleof the West.

Although modern life seems to challenge certain types of success such as happiness, there are ways to learn the skills needed to lead a successful life. In fact, many universities and other educational institutions offer a wide range of courses and degree programs. If success means the accumulation of money and material wealth, students can learn financial management skills by studying business. If success refers to peace of mind and having an anxiety-free life, there are studies in mindfulness and philosophy that help learners understand how to lead a meaningful life. Furthermore, citizens who do not wish to enroll in a costly university program can attend public lectures and seminarswhere they can learn basic skills such as money management, meditation, and domestic management.

In conclusion, it is not easy to define success. Some people are adamantthat having money indicates success, while others see success in other achievements. It is clear that the road to success is not an easy one; however, through training and practice, the skills and qualities required for success can be mastered.
