#Essay261 #Writing #Task2 ☘️ Agree / Disagree ✅ Q: Some people think that it is a waste of time for high school students to study literature, such as novels and poems. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 💡 Answer: Many today claim that learning about literature should no longer be a key component of the high school curriculum. In my opinion, there are practical reasons for this sentiment but literature still serves a purpose. Proponents of this reform argue other subjects deserve prioritisation. There is little doubt that in the 21st century, the most important subjects for students’ future careers relate to the sciences, such as engineering and computer science, or the practical humanities, like business. The earlier that students begin specialising, the more likely they are to have a head start on the competition and secure a well-paying job immediately after graduating high school or university. In contrast, the novels and poems that students read in high school are usually completely forgotten within a few years and do not teach any tangible skills that will help them advance in the real world. Nonetheless, literature contains many of the most important and fundamental truths about the human condition. Life is about more than a career and great authors tackle the most fundamental philosophical and psychological questions. For example, the masters of 19th century Russian literature, including Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, are primarily concerned with human psychology and how this fits into a larger context of man’s search for meaning. Their exploration of these issues is relevant to everyone and cannot be replaced with a steady career. Moreover, the way in which great writers develop their themes, the aesthetic quality of their writing itself, imparts to careful readers the importance of artistic expression and may help them see outside the narrow modern confines of accumulating the most material wealth. In conclusion, the utilitarian benefits of studying practical subjects do not outweigh the deeper values of literature. It is therefore advisable that literature be emphasised in high school classrooms. ✍️ Total words: 297 📍Band: 7.5+ 👉Join for more @IELTSMATERIALA ♡ ㅤ  ❍ㅤ  ㅤ  ⌲ ˡᶦᵏᵉ ᶜᵒᵐᵐᵉⁿᵗ ˢʰᵃʳᵉ

💭 Let's address some common IELTS writing questions. A lot of people make a lot of claims about various structures and 'secrets' to getting a good score. Some of these are accurate but many are wrong. Let's look at some of the common claims I hear and see if they are true or not. Firstly, there are some claims about essay structures. Here are a few common ones that aren't true. 1. You will get a higher score if you don't give your position in the introduction for discussion and opinion essays. - This one is untrue. The criteria does not specify where to put your opinion. Neither does the 'secret criteria'. You'll also see a lot of variety among teachers on this point. 2. When talking about research, you should make up an exact statistic or refer to an authority, like a university, because this will make your example sound more authoritative. - This one is untrue as well. We are expected to provide examples from our knowledge or experience, not fake ones. The impact of fakery on your score will vary by examiner, but I would definitely advise against it. If you are going to bend the truth a bit, make sure it's believable. Adding exact statistics and referring to obviously fake studies does not help this. 3. You will get a higher score if you don't use 'I' in your writing. - This one is totally untrue, in fact you are encouraged to use 'I' when giving your opinion. 4. You will get punished for going a long way over the word count. - This is untrue. There is no punishment for long essays. That being said, if you can't make your point in 350 words, maybe you are trying to impress too much. 5. Adding a variety of punctuation will improve your score. - This one is very wrong. Lots of colons, commas and semicolons tend to make your writing flow a little less. Follow appropriate rules, but don't go out of your way to use specific punctuation. It will be noticeable that punctuation is your priority rather than communicating a clear message. Here are some common claims that are actually optional. Not 'wrong', but not 'right' either. 1. We should write a 'conclusion' sentence at the end of body paragraphs. - You don't have to. It is an option, but generally not to my personal taste. 2. You should give a prediction for the future in your conclusion. - Again optional. Not something to concern yourself with if you have written a lot of words and your conclusion has some substance. 3. You should write a background statement to start your introduction. - Again optional. This is a very hard sentence to write, so I don't personally teach it. However, there are some claims that are true. Here are three important ones. 1. Your position should be very clear. The reader should never be left wondering on which side you truly stand on an issue. 2. Writing 'fancy' but unnatural vocabulary will damage your score, not help it. 3. Expand on all your points. It's very important that you do not introduce an idea and then move immediately onto another one. Always expand on every idea you present with at minimum another sentence or at least another clause (of considerable substance). There you go guys, I hope this cleaned up some doubts you may have had. Have a good one. #IELTSTopTips #Writing9 Join for more @IELTSMATERIALA ♡ ㅤ  ❍ㅤ  ㅤ  ⌲ ˡᶦᵏᵉ ᶜᵒᵐᵐᵉⁿᵗ ˢʰᵃʳᵉ
