This is a two part question To answer it, you must write about both the causes of climate change what can be done about it by both governments and individuals The sensible approach is to use separate paragraphs for each point My essay below is divided into two main topic paragraphs You could use three if you wanted to write a separate paragraph for government and individual actions Choosing the language You should see that you need this language for the essay: climate change vocabulary cause and effect vocabulary suggestion vocabulary My suggestion is that you not start writing too quickly but plan and think about what words you need to use See the vocabulary Cause and effect vocabulary This is key area of language and you want to vary the word “effects” in the question Look at the red words below to see how I this You will find a lot more words on my  lesson cause and effect vocabulary cause and effect Climate change vocabulary This is the topic vocabulary of the essay If you need more, take a look  at my vocabulary lesson on this: climate change vocabulary Suggestion language Don’t forget this You have options here too The mistake is to go “must”    “must” “must” English had lots of words for this Think of should need can Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang There is now little doubt that global warming and climate change are the result of human activity This has happened because of a failure in environmental policy by governments and a lack of concern for wasted energy by individuals It is almost universally accepted that climate change is the consequence of a number of environmental failings Perhaps the most important of these is how fossil fuels such as gas and coal are still the main source of power This is a problem because their usemeans that a large amount of CO2 is released into the atmosphere causing the greenhouse effect Another serious issue is howillegal logging continues in rainforests and the Amazon Basin in particular It should also not be forgotten that there is a connection between global warming and the inefficient use of energy by consumers in the home While governments must take prime responsibility for reducing climate change, individuals too can play a part Political leaders across the globe need to cooperate so that research into renewable forms of energy such as wind and solar power is properly funded and the use of coal and gas in power stations is phased out They must also of course ensure that regulations against loggingare properly enforced Consumers of energy can help by insulating their homes properly and using solar panels where possible so that less energy is required and wasted These actions should limit the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and so reduce the greenhouse effect In conclusion, while global warming is a serious threat to humanity, there are a number of steps that can be taken to reduce its effects (274 words) Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/global-warming-essay/ Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang People living alone essay This sample essay is designed to show you one way an essay can fit together and become more coherent This is an important part of your score and if you don’t really understand what it means I suggest you check out this lesson on coherence first: Understand the question and structure your essay The first step is to read and understand the question There are in fact two main questions here and you need to answer both parts fully The logical approach here is to use a separate paragraph for each part of the question There is an increasing trend for people to live alone What is causing this to happen? Will it have a negative or a positive impact on the society? A brief introduction and conclusion There are different ways you can write introductions and conclusions The ones in this essay are very short and functional – this is a possible approach You should still make sure that:   the introduction identifies the task the question and outlines your position the conclusion summarises the main points in your essay Get the essay structure right It is important that the separate parts of your essay fit together Look at the colour coding below and see how the main paragraphs fit together To get this right you need to be able to write clear topic sentences An increasing number of people are choosing to live by themselves My belief is that the changing nature of the family is the root cause of this and that it will have an negative effect on society There are two main ways in which changing family relationships are responsible for more people living by themselves Perhaps the most significant of these is that not only has marriage become less popular, but the rate of divorce has risen dramatically in the last 20 years This naturally leads to fewer people sharing accommodation Another related factor is that there is a tendency for children to leave home earlier than before This can have the effect of leaving a single parent living alone in the family home and the child living in a bedsit in another town This phenomenon is likely to be harmful to society at two different levels At the personal level, there is a clear risk that people living by themselves can become isolated and lonely because they live without the daily support that a family can provide This is particularly the case with elderly people and the divorced who are more at risk of depression, which is becoming an increasingly severe problem is society Then on the social level, if fewer people are sharing accommodation, the housing shortage is only likely to increase and this is a serious problem in our overcrowded towns and cities Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang My conclusion is that people living by themselves is strongly connected to new patterns in family life and will cause harm Organise your paragraphs too The paragraphs within the essay also need to be organised See how both paragraphs are clearly organised The topic sentence outlines that there are going to be two main points and then each point is clearly introduced with a linking phrase There are two main ways in which changing family relationships are responsible for more people living by themselves Perhaps the most significant of these is that not only has marriage become less popular, but the rate of divorce has risen dramatically in the last 20 years This naturally leads to fewer people sharing accommodation Another related factor is that there is a tendency for children to leave home earlier than before This can have the effect of leaving a single parent living alone in the family home and the child living in a bedsit in another town This phenomenon is likely to be harmful to society at two different levels At the personal level, there is a clear risk that people living by themselves can become isolated and lonely because they live without the daily support that a family can provide This is particularly the case with elderly people and the divorced who are more at risk of depression, which is becoming an increasingly severe problem is society Then on the social level, if fewer people are sharing accommodation, the housing shortage is only likely to increase and this is a serious problem in our overcrowded towns and cities Using linking language – try this! It’s also important that you link your sentences together One of the most effective ways to this is use “this” It is a very natural linking word and can help you avoid repetition See how it introduces these sentences: Perhaps the most significant of these is that not only has marriage become less popular, This naturally leads to fewer people This can have the effect of This phenomenon is likely to be harmful This is particularly the case Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/people-living-alone-essay/ Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang IELTS

suggest you this   in the introduction so that the examiner knows what your point of view is throughout the essay in the conclusion which should mirror your introduction I also suggest that you use personal opinion phrases to make it clear that this is what you think Do not feel that you can only use impersonal language Read the healthcare for children essay Some people say that parents should decide on what kind of medical care their children should receive, while others believe that this is the state’s responsibility Discuss both views and give your opinion Although almost everyone agrees about the necessity to provide children with the best healthcare, there is some dispute about whether parents or the government should decide what that care is My own view is that while governments may adopt a general policy for children’s medical care, parents should normally have the ultimate say There are good grounds for arguing that the state should decide on the form of medical provision for children One of these is that typically the state is better able to make informed decisions because it has access to all the latest medical research Another is that occasionally there are epidemics in schools and it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that illnesses should not be spread unnecessarily In this case, it might justifiably order compulsory vaccination Equally there is a very strong argument for allowing parents to decide on what care their children receive This is because one extremely important principle is that everyone should have the right to choose what care they receive For children who are too young to make their own choice, it is only natural that their parents should make that decision for them This is particularly important for families that come from a culture where certain medical interventions such as blood transfusions are forbidden Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang In this case, it seems quite wrong for the government to order something that may go against religious beliefs In conclusion, I accept that there are good reasons for the state to outline what care children should receive, but parents should be able to have the last word particularly when religious principles are at stake Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/ielts-healthcare-children-essay/ Facebook Tôi điểm

to a full lesson on discussion essays Read the IELTS recycling essay Almost everyone agrees that we should be training children to recycle waste to save the Earth’s natural resources Some believe that it is parents who should teach their children to recycle waste Others argue that school is the best place to teach this Discuss both views and give your own opinion Most people would agree that young people need to be taught about the importance of recycling waste products and packaging There is a difference of opinion, however, whether this should happen at home or in schools In this essay, I will examine both points of view and then state my opinion The argument in favour of teaching children at school about recycling is largely based around the idea that children learn best at school This is because teachers have a natural authority over their pupils who are used to learning from them and schools are a natural environment for learning Additionally, the need for recycling could easily be included in the school curriculum in biology and geography classes There are two main reasons why people think parents taking responsibility for this training could be more effective The first is that the majority of recycling takes place in the home and parents can therefore more easily control the recycling habits of their children If, for example, parents see their child put a recyclable bottle in the wrong bin, they can explain that it needs to go in another bin The other very practical point is that often children spend more time at home than at school and so parents may have more effect My own view is that the best solution is for children to learn about recycling both at home and at school In this way, they would learn about both the theory and the practice (277

Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology In what ways has technology affected personal relationships ? Has this become a positive or negative development? Advances in technology have without doubt influenced the way we communicate with each other in a number of different ways While some of this change can have a negative influence on the we way interact, my view is that overall modern technology typically improves communication in personal relationships It is clear that technology has changed the way we communicate in several respects Perhaps the clearest example of this is that nowadays many people prefer to keep in touch to their friends and relatives using applications and social networking sites like FaceTime, Skype and Facebook Another way this change is evident is how the email and texting have almost completely replaced the letter as the primary form of written communication Because these modern forms of communication are typically much more convenient and instant, one result is that we can communicate more easily with people who we not see on a daily basis I would argue that these innovations have mostly improved personal relationships The principal benefit is that it just so much easier to stay in touch with people we might otherwise lose contact with It is for example now very straightforward to keep in contact with friends from university who move to different cities after they graduate and this means relationships last longer The only real drawback is that sometimes people become so addicted to their online social networks that they stop communicating with friends in the real world That, however, is a minor issue My conclusion is therefore that new forms technological communication have in fact largely improved human interaction because emails, texting and social networks enable us to maintain friendships which might otherwise be lost (278 words) Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/ielts-technology-relationships-essay/ Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang IELTS curriculum essay In this lesson you will find   a sample IELTS on school curriculum a vocabulary exercise from the Academic Word List to help you write it Read the IELTS curriculum essay Subjects such as Art, Sport and Music are being dropped from the school curriculum for subjects such as Information Technology Many people children suffer as a result of these changes To what extent would you support or reject the idea of moving these subjects from school curriculum? In recent times there has been much debate about which subjects should be included on the school curriculum One particular issue is whether the introduction of more modern subjects such as IT for more traditional subjects such as art and music disadvantages the pupils I believe that this is a difficult question and different solutions need to be found for primary and secondary schools There is one major argument in favour of replacing art, music and sport on the curriculum with subjects like IT This is that the purpose of school is to prepare children for their working life after school, so the subjects on the curriculum should be relevant to their potential careers From this point of view, IT is much relevant to schoolchildren as they need to be computer literate if they want to survive in the workplace For example, it is easy to see that word processing and programming skills will impress employers more than the ability to run fast or draw well There are also, however, strong arguments for retaining the more traditional subjects as part of the curriculum One significant counter-argument is that the purpose of education is not just to prepare children for later careers, but also to develop their all-round “culture” It is important that children leave school with some knowledge of art, music and sport as all these are all help develop aspects of young people’s personalities My own personal point of view is that there is merit in both sides of the debate and that all children should study some IT, art music and sport at least at primary school At secondary school, however, children should be offered a choice between these subjects so that they can continue to study them if they wish Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/ielts-essays/sample-essay-school-curriculum/ 28 Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang IELTS houses and apartments essay This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can    read the essay a vocabulary exercise get a full lesson on how to write the essay Read the IELTS houses and apartments essay Some people prefer to live in a house, while others think that there are more advantages living in an apartment Are there more advantages than disadvantages to living in a house rather than in an apartment? Many people nowadays face a difficult decision when they buy their own home The question is whether they should buy a house or an apartment There would seem to be clear benefits and drawbacks to both options Perhaps the major advantage of living in a house is the issue of privacy Typically, there is more opportunity for peace and quiet, if you live in a house This is particularly the case if it is a detached house Other significant advantages are that houses are generally more spacious and on the whole have gardens This is especially important if there is a family so that the children can have a safe environment to play in If, however, you live in a tower block, then the children may have to play outside on the pavement There are, of course, negative aspects to living in houses The greatest of these is that they tend to be more expensive to purchase and to maintain Indeed, a large majority of people choose to live in apartments because they cannot afford the mortgage to buy a house Another possible problem is that there are fewer houses in cities than the countryside So if you like urban life, it may be preferable to live in an apartment A second reason to avoid living in a house is that there is a greater sense of community to life in an apartment My conclusion would be that this is a well-balanced issue There are probably an equal number of pros and cons to making either choice Ultimately, whether you decide to live in a cottage in the countryside or a duplex in the city depends on your own personality, family and financial circumstances (285 words) Làm tập từ vựng This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can    read the essay a vocabulary exercise get a full lesson on how to write the essay 29 Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang Read the IELTS houses and apartments essay Some people prefer to live in a house, while others think that there are more advantages living in an apartment Are there more advantages than disadvantages to living in a house rather than in an apartment?

There is no doubt that the massive increase in the worldʼs population in the last 100 years has created a crisis In order to find a solution to this crisis, politicians need to deal with not only the immediate problems, but also the long-term causes if they want to rescue humanity Finding the right policies is not an easy task as it is a complex problem The first step is to recognise what the consequences of overpopulation are Only by doing this can we find an appropriate solution Perhaps its most important effect is the increased rate at which we are consuming the Earthʼs resources such as oil To combat this, governments need to more research on alternative and renewable energy supplies so that we not use up all the oil reserves Another negative effect of overpopulation is how some countries suffer from a lack of basic necessities such as food Here, an answer could be greater international co-operation so that countries with a food surplus donate what they not need to the less fortunate countries It is not quite so easy to decide how governments should deal with the causes of overpopulation The Chinese have adopted legislation that requires parents to pay a special tax if they have more than one child I doubt, however, whether this solution is realistic in other countries Another option would be to improve levels of sex education by explaining the difficulties caused by having too many children.Promoting contraception though may be problematic in many regions on cultural and religious grounds In conclusion, while it may be possible to find ways to address some of the consequences of overpopulation by international co-operation, it is harder to find policies to deal with its causes It might be that the only way forward is for different countries to adopt policies that work within their particular culture Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/ielts-essays/model-essay-overpopulation/ 32 Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang IELTS technology and education essay Read the IELTS technology and education essay In the past lectures were the traditional method of teaching large numbers of students Nowadays new technology is increasingly being used to teach students What are the advantages and disadvantages of this new approach? As we move into the twenty-first century, technology is affecting many different areas of life and education is no exception Indeed, in some institutions traditional forms of education have been revolutionised by new technology to the extent that the lecture is no longer the main method of delivery While there are a variety of benefits to this new approach, there are also significant drawbacks Perhaps the greatest bonus of the introduction of technology is the flexibility it offers This is evident in two different ways Firstly, it is now no longer essential for students to be present in the lecture theatre for their courses This means that part-time courses for adults who are in employment and distance learning courses for people in other countries are now much more practical Another area of flexibility is of course that the lecturer and tutor are able to use Moodles, interactive whiteboards and other tools to deliver their courses in a more stimulating way to large numbers of students Not everything, however, about the introduction of this new technology into education is positive One major problem is that not all students are comfortable with using technology, even if they are part of the digital native generation This is a serious issue as they may suffer from their lack of technological skills Another related issue is that education is a human activity and it works best with as much human interaction as possible Impersonal technology cannot replace the human contact found in traditional face-to-face tutorials and seminars As we have seen, there are major benefits to the introduction of technology into education, not least because it enables modern forms of education such as distance learning courses This is balanced, however, by the fact that it can be too impersonal for some and disadvantages others for their lack of technological skills Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/ielts-essays/technology-and-education-sample-ielts-essay/ 33 Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang IELTS historic buildings essay This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can    read the essay a vocabulary exercise get a full lesson on how to write the essay Read the IELTS historic buildings essay Many historic buildings are being destroyed or replaced What are the reasons for this? What should be done to preserve these buildings? We live in an age of progress and one result of that is that the urban landscape of many cities is changing An unfortunate consequence of this is that some historic buildings are being lost for future generations Something needs to be done to preserve these buildings and, to ensure that, we first need to understand why they are being destroyed There are a variety of reasons why these buildings are being replaced and this mainly depends on their original purpose Many of these historic buildings were residential and typically the problem is that they no longer have the appropriate facilities for modern-day living For example, they might have been built in an era when central heating was not a priority, or even when bathrooms and toilets were outside Unfortunately, it is often cheaper to pull these buildings down rather than renovate them Other historic buildings that are now under threat originally had a civic function and were built in city centres Examples of these buildings are theatres and cinemas As often as not, these buildings are being replaced through economic necessity as they are no longer financially viable They are being replaced by supermarkets or modern cinema complexes that cater for the demands of the twenty-first century There is probably no one solution to ensure that these buildings are preserved One possible step though would be for the civic planning authorities to list certain builidngs that they consider historic and prevent any alterations being made to them Another possibility would be to ensure that at least the facades of these buildings were preserved for posterity Clearly, this is a complex problem and we have seen that there are a number of social and financial factors that have led to the destruction of historic buildings If we are to preserve them, we will need legislation to prevent or limit the activities of developers (315 words) Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/ielts-essays/historic-buildings-sample-ielts-essay/ 34 Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang Read the IELTS food transportation essay Today’s food travels thousands of miles before it reaches customers Is this a positive or negative trend? In the modern world, we frequently no longer rely on food that has been grown locally, but we have become accustomed to buying produce from all over the world While this trend has some clear benefits to consumers, I would argue that overall transporting food over long distances is a negative The strongest argument against importing food is environmental Studies have shown that transport and the use of fossil fuels is one of the leading causes of global warming and climate change This means that if we want to lead a greener lifestyle, we should be trying to minimise transport and this includes the unnecessary transport of foodstuffs Another point that needs to be considered is the impact of transporting food on local farmers and traditional ways of life Again, there is good research to show that farmers and smallholders are unable to compete in price with the supermarkets that import cheap, and often low-quality, produce from abroad This is not just a problem for local farmers who are likely to go out of business, it also has an impact on weakening traditional communities that rely on those farms for employment and trade A further consideration is that food that has travelled across the world is considerably less healthy than locally grown, fresh produce The simple point is that the further food travels before it reaches the consumer, the less fresh it will be and any nutritionist will confirm that fresh food is fuller of vitamins Therefore, it would be preferable if supermarkets and other stores did not transport food from other countries In conclusion, I believe that the trend for transporting food over long distances is undesirable because it is environmentally unfriendly, threatens local communities and results in less healthy options for the consumer (294 words) Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/ielts-food-transportation-essay/ 35 Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang IELTS films essay This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can    read the essay a vocabulary exercise get a full lesson on how to write the essay Read the IELTS films essay In recent years, people watch more movies from overseas? What are the reasons for this? Should the government give financial support to local cinema to produce local films? It is unquestionably the case that there is a growing trend for people to watch foreign films in preference to films made in their home country In this essay, I will discuss why this is the case and why I believe national governments ought to support home grown cinema financially Perhaps the principal reason for the popularity of foreign made films is the globalisation of culture in the internet age In the past, children growing up only had access to the culture and traditions of their own country and so preferred to watch films about their own land Now in the era of Youtube, young people grow up with easy access to an international culture and so when they go to the cinema, they expect to see films that reflect that international culture and for them a Hollywood blockbuster is much “cooler” than a serious film in their own language A second reason why internationally produced films tend to dominate the domestic market is financial The two great centres of world cinema, Bollywood and Hollywood, have studios with budgets of billions of dollars which can make films with exciting special effects and high production values In contrast, locally produced films often have much smaller budgets are sometimes therefore less attractive to the mass market Personally, I believe that this globalisation of culture is not entirely positive and governments should take action to promote local films If countries had their own film industries which could compete with the international studios, this would not only help preserve national culture, but would also create more choice for the public as global films offer little variety In conclusion, the main reasons for the expansion of international films are a new globalised world culture caused by the internet and the financial power of a few film studios in Hollywood and Bollywood We would have more choice if the governments subsidised local films Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/ielts-essays/cinema-sample-ielts-essay/ 36 Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang IELTS parents essay This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can    read the essay a vocabulary exercise get a full lesson on how to write the essay Read the IELTS parents essay In many countries there has been an increase in social problems involving teenagers in recent years Many people believe that this is due to modern lifestyles because parents spend more and more time at work and have less time to supervise their children To what extent you believe this is true? There is no question that standards of behaviour have fallen among teenagers The popular belief is that the principle cause is that parents are unable to supervise their children because they are away at work I only partially agree with this viewpoint as there are other important factors too It is undeniable that parents should bear some responsibility for the actions of their teenaged children This is particularly true when they are absent from the home and not in a position to control their children The argument is that if they were at home, then they would be able to make certain that their children did not join gangs and spent their time on socially acceptable activities However, it can also be said that working parents are in fact setting a good example to their children Indeed, it is very often the case that teenagers who come from hardworking families spend their time on schoolwork and conduct themselves well In fact, the teenagers who create social problems by, for example, getting drunk or painting graffiti come from homes where parents are unemployed Other factors that lead to teenagers getting into trouble relate to the educational system This is due to the fact that many teenagers leave school aged 16 and not find work because of lack of qualifications As a result, they spend time on the street with nothing productive to Likewise, social problems with teenagers can be the consequence of poor discipline at school with teachers failing to control their classes In conclusion, it is possible to say that this sort of problem is only sometimes the result of parents not supervising their children It is equally possible to say that discipline in schools is at fault (299 words) Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/ielts-essays/sample-ielts-essay-teenagers/ 37 Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang IELTS junk food essay This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can    read the essay a vocabulary exercise get a full lesson on how to write the essay with two extra exercises Read the IELTS junk food essay Recent research shows that the consumption of junk food is a major factor in poor diet and this is detrimental to health Some people believe that better health education is the answer to this problem but others disagree What is your opinion? A serious concern nowadays is how our eating habits can affect our health In particular, it has been demonstrated that eating too much junk food can lead to health issues later in life One sensible suggestion for dealing with this is to improve the level of health education so that we eat better and live longer My belief though is that this would not completely solve the problem One reason why focussing on health education is an appropriate measure is that it addresses one underlying cause of the problem It is clear that there is a connection between what people know about nutrition and their eating habits For example, children who have learned in school about the need to have a varied diet with plenty of vitamins tend to eat more healthily In contrast, people who have not had this education still eat too much junk food and as a result suffer from diabetes and other diseases Better health education, however, is not a complete answer as it ignores the wider social factors that cause people to eat unhealthily For instance, many people eat fast food because they have a lifestyle that means they not have time to sit down to a proper meal Again, other people might eat burgers and pizzas because they are seen to be cool and they want to impress their peers There would not appear to be any simple way to deal with these social factors A difficulty is that it is very hard for governments to make a difference to the individual choices people make It might help, however, to ban advertisements for unhealthy foods on television and to require companies to provide proper meal facilities for their employees My conclusion is that the government certainly ought to introduce measures to improve the level of health education However, this probably would not be a perfect solution as it would also be necessary to deal with the other social factors that cause unhealthy eating Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/ielts-essays/health-and-diet/ 38 Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang IELTS nuclear technology essay This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can    read the essay a vocabulary exercise get a full lesson on how to write the essay Read the IELTS nuclear technology essay The threat of nuclear weapons maintains world peace Nuclear power provides cheap and clean energy The benefits of nuclear technology far outweigh the disadvantages Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer One question that has caused a great deal of controversy over the years is nuclear technology Although it offers a number of advantages in world peace and green power, it is also a dangerous technology, I believe that it is also a dangerous technology The opponents of nuclear power generally base their arguments on the danger it represents to the world There are two main dangers: the risk of nuclear warfare and the nuclear disasters The danger of nuclear war is obvious and if one thinks about Chernobyl, it is easy to understand why people are worried about nuclear power, as it can cause major suffering There are, however, good reasons for believing that nuclear technology is generally advantageous The first of these is that there has not been a major world conflict since the invention of nuclear weapons While there have been wars, they have not been on the same scale as the Second World War It is possible to say that the world is a safer place because of nuclear weapons The other most significant benefit relates to the environment Perhaps the greatest danger facing our world today is a combination of global warming and the greenhouse effect This danger is caused partly by burning fossil fuels which leads to our polluted atmosphere Nuclear power, however, is a much greener alternative which does not have such negative effects Furthermore, in the last 50 years there have not been too many nuclear disasters and many experts claim that it is in fact a safe technology In conclusion I would say that nuclear technology is better than the current alternatives However, I also believe we should keep looking for ways to make it safer Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/ielts-essays/sample-essay-nuclear-technology/ 39 Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang IELTS compulsory education essay This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can    read the essay a vocabulary exercise get a full lesson on how to write the essay Read the IELTS compulsory education essay Everyone should stay in school until the age of eighteen To what extent you agree or disagree? It is often said that if you want to succeed in life, you need a proper education While there may be arguments for making school compulsory until the age of 18 , I disagree that this should apply to everyone Perhaps the strongest reason for not leaving school early is that it prepares you for your working career If you leave school early with only a basic education, you are unlikely to be able to find any skilled work Indeed, the education you receive between the ages of 16 and 18 is crucial for anyone who does not want a lifetime of unskilled work in a factory Another compelling reason for remaining in school until 18 is that school provides moral and social education too This is particularly important for people between 16 and 18 who have many temptations and benefit from the organised framework that school provides Young people who stay in school until the age of 18 tend to be more responsible and help build a stronger society There are, however, equally strong arguments against making school compulsory until the age of 18 One such argument is that not everyone is academic and that some people benefit more from vocational training For instance, someone who wants to become a car mechanic may find better training and more satisfaction in an apprentice scheme Another related argument is that, in today’s world, young people are maturing ever more quickly and are able to make their own life decisions by the age of 16 To my mind, everyone should be encouraged to stay in school until 18 both for social and career reasons However, I believe it would be a mistake to make this compulsory bearing in mind that different people have different needs and abilities and the possibilities of other forms of vocational training Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/ielts-essays/sample-ielts-essay-education/ 40 Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang Teenagers and unpaid work essay This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can    read the essay a vocabulary exercise get a full lesson on how to write the essay Read the teenagers and unpaid work essay Some people think that teenagers should unpaid work to help society because this will help them to be better individuals and also improve the society as a whole To what extent you agree or disagree with this proposal? While there are grounds to argue that it would benefit society and young people themselves if teenagers were made to unpaid work in the community, it can equally be argued that this would be an infringement of their rights In this essay, I shall examine the merits of both sides of the argument One argument in favour of making teenagers to voluntary work in the community is that it would benefit society It is certainly true that there is a shortage of labour in many parts of the public sector and if young people worked, then many public services would improve For example, it would be quite possible for teenagers to part-time jobs in the health such as working as hospital porters This would have the effect of ensuring patients got better care and would allow trained professionals to concentrate on more skilled tasks – something that would benefit society as a whole A second argument is that teenagers would mature as individuals if they went out to work, especially if it was in the voluntary sector Currently, many teenagers have little sense of social responsibility and spend much of their free time playing basketball or computer games If, however, they were given real life tasks to do, they would learn important life skills such as responsibility, teamwork and leadership These skills would almost certainly benefit them in their later careers Despite these arguments, there is an equally strong case to be made that it would be morally wrong to force teenagers to go out to work, particularly if they did not earn a salary This can be explained by the fact that in recent years, there has been a global movement to stop the practice of child labour The main philosophy behind this movement is that childhood, including the teenage years, should be a time for education and growth, not work It would not just send the wrong message out if teenagers were made to voluntary work, there is also the real danger that young people would be exploited in the workplace In conclusion, I believe that while there are real merits on both sides of the argument, the moral case againstforcing young people to work slightly outweighs any benefit to society or to teenagers as individuals This is reinforced by belief in the principle that childhood is a time for education and fear of the danger of exploitation 41 Facebook Tôi điểm Viết IELTS | 0904 98 0083 | http://ieltskungfu.wix.com/vuhaidang Làm tập từ vựng http://www.dcielts.com/teenagers-unpaid-work-essay/ Employment and Promotion Some people think that only staff who worked in a company for a long time should be promoted to a higher position What's your opinion? One of the reasons why companies choose to promote some staff is seniority While length of service is undoubtedly an important factor, my belief is it should certainly not be the only criterion for deciding who should be promoted Rather it would be better for companies to have a more varied policy in this area There are without question sound arguments for promoting employees who have been working for a company for a number of years The first of these is that these more experienced employees would be able to adapt themselves to being in a higher position, as they would understand the culture and policies of the company better Again, on a practical level, if they were not promoted, they might well leave the company to find a higher position and earn a larger salary This could have serious consequences for the company, which might lose a significant amount of business to its competitors Despite these reasons, there is a strong argument in favour of also promoting staff because of their performance This can be seen by how some multi-nationals use annual performance and development reviews when deciding on promotion Under this system a supervisor can set targets for an employee and if those targets are met, then the employee can be promoted, even if they are relatively junior The benefit of this approach is that it encourages staff to work harder and rewards merit and not just long service In conclusion, there is no doubt a case for implementing a policy of promoting long-serving members of staff, but I believe that it is also wise to take account of the performance of more junior members of staff (281 words) 42 [...]...
