How to Write an Illustration Essay?
You have absolutely got it! This would be a partial agreement (balanced essay with a specific view point). And yes, you definitely could aim to have one BP to explain that developed countries with fewer social problems could focus on wildlife and why this is important. Then the second BP could be about other countries which must focus on more critical social issues including education and health care. My only comment would be that these days, developed countries are in such a bad way that this almost isn’t the case anymore. For example, in the UK, they have just had to release over one thousand prisons back into society because there are no beds left in prison – this means men who have physically attacked their wives are back on the streets without serving their punishment. Also the NHS system is failing and the issue of housing is critical with the number of homeless people rising all the time. So, these days, even developed countries are struggling. I can easily imagine that all these social issues are likely to appear in IELTS writing task 2 more often because IELTS does follow current social issues for writing task 2. Anyway, you are going in the right way with how you are thinking and approaching writing task 2 🙂
Thank you soooo much Liz for your feedback, I absolutely adore your content 😀
so you suggest that I should’ve written a balanced essay since wildlife is an important subject?
I also have another approach in mind, one BP for developed countries and the fact that they can focus on wildlife and another BP for underdeveloped and developing countries where other matters are much more needed, do you think this would also be a good approach?
also again, it means the world to me, how kind and helpful you are, you’re a literal angel to me Liz. Thank you for existing.
It is certainly a tough topic and one that does appear in the IELTS test from time to time. This isn’t about the pros and cons of exams or about how performance relates to the real world or whether it leads to leadership etc. This is purely about how to assess performance. For example, IELTS is a test that assesses language – is this the best way to assess language? In schools, assessment can be done either by project work, continual assessment or exams. The exams create pressure – under pressure people’s performance can deteriorate so it isn’t a realistic impression of their ability. Exams are only a snapshot of their ability, for example someone might perform to an A grade throughout the year, but only get a C in an exam – so is that C a realistic measure of that person’s ability? So, this topic really is about how to measure ability within a school or university.
For tips specific to argumentative essays, try these:
You definitely should not be going for unusual ideas. The way ideas are marked in IELTS is not based on how interesting or unusual they are. In fact, that plays no part in marking. You are marked on how relevant the ideas are. This means the more normal and usual the idea is, the better. So, choosing points such as diet, exercise and life style in relation to weight are the ideas that known to be relevant and valid – those are the ideas to choose. Always remember that you must choose wisely in IELTS writing. Choose ideas that are known to the relevant and easy to explain for a high score. If the examiner stops reading your essay to think – that’s weird, that doesn’t make sense – you’ll get a lower score.
On the other hand, there are several disadvantages of conducting exams. One disadvantage is that exams do not give the test taker any practical exposure to how the knowledge learned can be applied in real life, which other forms of assessment can provide, such as projects and assignments based on real-world problems. Another issue is that exams promote extreme competition and do not teach teamwork, whereas other forms of assessment like group projects allow collaboration of ideas while also developing leadership skills and teamwork. Lastly, certain examinations just gauge one’s memorization and not the understanding of the examinee, which can be detrimental to the future of that particular student.
On the one hand, exams have certain benefits. Firstly, exams are very efficient at gauging the theoretical knowledge of the examinee. Exams help the examiner to know whether the test taker is thorough with their concepts. Secondly, they can be very useful to assess how good one’s problem-solving capability is, especially for subjects like math and physics, which contain many problem-solving-based questions. Finally, exams are very cost-effective, as they can be simply conducted using pen and paper and do not require anything extra.
Another great point is how cheap preventive measures can be for both individuals and the government.A simple vaccine or awareness campaign can prevent life-threatening diseases. If not prevented, it could cost thousands of dollars to cure, an expense that would either be borne by the government or the individual. On the other hand a preventive vaccine would cost just a couple of dollars, far cheaper than curing the disease. This preventive approach has been highly effective to fight against diseases like polio and malaria.
What is an argumentative essay?
I need guidance regarding opinion essays. The opinion essays that state “to what extent do you agree”, do they require that we state our opinion in full agreement or can we completely disagree or do we need to partially agree and disagree. what if i fully disagree with such essay? Can I state my opinion in complete disagreement and then give reasons?
How is an argumentative essay structured?
The instructions tell you to write more than 250, not less. The direct and immediate punishment for writing under the word count has now been removed. However, writing under the word count will still impact your score in a negative way. With so few words, it isn’t really possible to expand ideas sufficiently for a high score. This is actually part of the marking criterion of Task Response, which counts for 25% of your marks. There is no way to predict your score because it will depend on many other factors. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that all other aspects of your writing were strong enough to still reach a high score, regardless.
