Writing task 2 (China)

School teachers are more responsible for social and intellectual development of students than parents. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

комментарий от www.myielts.kz
Школьные учителя имеют больше ответственности в социальном и интеллектуальном развитии студентов, чем родители. Согласны или нет?

Тема намекает на то, что стоит рассмотреть роль учителей и роль родителей перед тем, как ответить на вопрос “Согласны или нет?”

Роль учителей в социальном и интеллектуальном развитии:
(1) учителя делятся специальными и точными знаниями со студентами больше, чем родители.
(2) учителя могут вовлекать студентов в различные мероприятия для их социального развития – как учебные, так и внеучебные.

Роль родителей в социальном и интеллектуальном развитии:
(1) родители могут обучать студентов в сферах, в которых они сами сильны (компьютеры, точные науки и т.д.).
(2) дети, как правило, копируют социальное поведение родителей, поэтому роль родителей в социальном развитии крайне важна.

Ответ на вопрос: Однозначно ответить на вопрос “Согласны или нет?” трудно, потому что и родители, и учителя имеют большое влияние на социальное и интеллектуальное развитие детей. Я бы сказал, что учителя имеют больше влияют на студентов в интеллектуальном плане, а родители – в социальном.

 


Writing task 2 (Indonesia)

Some people believe that preserving natural environment is crucial. However, most make no effort to do so. Why do you think this is happening? What are some simple actions that could help the environment?

комментарий от www.myielts.kz
Некоторые считают, что охрана окружающей среды имеет большую важность, но большинство людей не прилагает для этого никаких усилий. Почему это происходит? Каковы простые действия, которые помогут в охране окружающей среды?

Поставлены два вопроса, на которые ответят два абзаца в essay body.

Почему большинство людей не прилагают усилий в охране экологии:
(1) люди могут считать, что это – прерогатива государства, а не отдельного человека.
(2) люди не приучены бережно относиться к окружающей среде в силу воспитания или менталитета.

Каковы простые действия для охраны окружающей среды:
(1) сортировать мусор и утилизировать его в надлежащих местах.
(2) сократить потребление – сокращение использования автомобилей и потребления пластика, замена его бумагой (упаковочные материалы, пакеты, тара для жидкостей).

Итог: сделаем резюме. Главные причины бездействия в плане охраны окружающей среды – перекладывание ответственности на государство и отсутствие знаний и навыков в сфере экологии. Простые действия – правильная утилизация мусора и сокращение потребления, которое наносит вред экологии.

Writing task 2 (Singapore)

In many countries the proportion of older people is steadily increasing. Some think this is good, while others believe this is a problem for a country. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

комментарий от www.myielts.kz
Во многих странах доля пожилых людей растет. Некоторые думают, что это хорошо, а другие считают, что это является проблемой для страны. Обсудите эти две позиции и дайте свое мнение.

Мнение 1: растущая дола пожилых людей – это хорошо:
(1) пожилых людей традиционно считают наставниками и советчиками для молодого поколения (как в семье, так и учебе и в карьере).
(2) пожилые люди становятся помощниками для молодого поколения в воспитании детей.

Мнение 2: растущая дола пожилых людей – это проблема для страны:
(1) с растущим пожилым населением возрастает финансовая нагрузка на государственный бюджет – социальные выплаты (пенсии и поддержка здравоохранения).
(2) падает рост населения, что может иметь негативные экономические последствия (нехватка рабочей силы).

Итог: растущая доля пожилого населения может негативно сказаться на экономической ситуации в стране ввиду нехватки рабочей силы и распределении большого процента государственного финансирования на социальные выплаты.

 


Writing task 2 (China)

Some people use the Internet to search for solutions to their medical problems. Is it a positive or negative development?

комментарий от www.myielts.kz
Некоторые люди ищут решения своих медицинских проблем в интернете. Это хорошо или плохо?

Можно построить эссе только на мнении “хорошо” или только на мнении “плохо”. Можно также рассмотреть “хорошо” и “плохо”, и в конце эссе дать свое мнение.

Мнение 1: это хорошо:
(1) это может сократить число обращающихся в больницы, особенно если это касается несерьезных заболеваний.
(2) может улучшиться уровень компетентности населения в сфере медицины, если люди читают сайты известных и надежных медицинских специалистов.

Мнение 2: это плохо:
(1) каждый случай уникален, и требуется личная консультация врача, чтобы определить правильное лечение.
(2) в интернете может содержаться неверная, неточная или непроверенная информация о лечении, поэтому нельзя доверять всему, что предлагает интернет.

Итог: у этой тенденции несомненно есть как положительные, так и отрицательные стороны, и к поиску решений медицинских проблем стоит относиться осторожно и доверять только тем онлайн-ресурсам, где публикуются мнения опытных медиков. Однако более точное решение проблемы зачастую может дать только личная встреча со специалистом.

 


Writing task 2 (India)

Many people say that teenagers should concentrate on all school subjects equally. Others, however, believe that students should spend more time on subjects they like, or are good at. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

комментарий от www.myielts.kz
Школьники должны уделять одинаковое внимание всем школьным предметам. Однако есть мнение, что школьники должны концентрироваться только на тех предметах, которые им нравятся или которые они хорошо усваивают. Обсудите эти две точки зрения и дайте свое мнение.

Мнение 1: уделять одинаковое внимание всем предметам:
(1) школьная программа включает в себя перечень предметов, нужных для всестороннего развития, поэтому нужно уделять внимание им всем (и точные, и гуманитарные науки влияют на формирование личности и будущего специалиста).
(2) многие предметы и науки переплетаются между собой и поэтому нужно одинаково фокусироваться на всем (алгебра-геометрия-экономика, история-социология-литература).

Мнение 2: уделять внимание только тем предметам, которые нравятся:
(1) школьники обычно показывают склонность к той или иной сфере – значит нужно изучать глубже те предметы, которые даются школьнику лучше (только точные науки, только гуманитарные науки).
(2) есть мнение, что школьные знания в большинстве своем могут не пригодиться в дальнейшей профессиональной жизни, поэтому нужно дать школьнику свободу выбрать то, что у него получается лучше и может стать его профессией в будущем.

Итог: система образования должна проявить больше гибкости в построении школьной учебной программы, дав школьнику возможность концентрироваться на тех предметах, которые ему нравятся и которые даются лучше, потому что в будущем это может стать его карьерой.

 


Writing task 2 (Qatar)

Newspapers will remain the main source of news in the future and the Internet will not have any effect.
Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

комментарий от www.myielts.kz
Газеты останутся главным источником новостей в будущем, и Интернет никак на это не повлияет. Согласны или нет?
