IELTS Academic Task -2/ Writing Task -2 in IELTS
 

1. You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Sending criminals to the prison is not the best method of dealing with them. Education and job training more are better ways to help them. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. You should give reasons for your answer using your own ideas and experience.

From the time immemorial, it has been a matter of debate how a criminal be punished. Of course, there are people who advocate one way or the other but in my view, we need to find a middle path to make sure that the punishment on the one hand, deters the potential criminal and on the other, it helps to reform the people involved in illegal activities.

First of all, we need to differentiate between the crimes which shock our conscience and the minor ones. I strongly believe that punishment and in some cases, severe punishment is the only way out to deter the people committing crimes which are against life, liberty and humanity. What I mean by this is that we should adequately punish the wrongdoers when they are involved in heinous crimes such as gory killing, cold blooded murder, rape, arsons out of vengeance etc.

In contrast to such views, I hold a slightly different opinion when the crimes are petty and born out of compulsion or some grave circumstances. That’s why I believe that the minor crimes like pick pocketing, thefts where the motive of commission of such crimes is to sustain one’s family should be treated differently. An opportunity to reform should be given to such person committing such minor offences. We cannot change our society by crowding our prison cells. Imparting education and providing quality jobs are prerequisites of reforming such people.

Therefore, in my conclusion, I would like to summarise my viewpoint that education alone can help to move people away from the criminal world. The punitive measures should be adopted only in case of serious offences. (Total 273 words)

1.      You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Too much emphasis is placed on testing these days. The need to prepare for tests and examinations is a restriction on teachers and also exerts unnecessary pressure on young learners. 

To what extend do you agree or disagree?

Give reasons for your answer and include relevant example from your own knowledge or experience.

It is no doubt that students need to be tested before awarding any degree or certificate. Every institution must conduct its own examination to assess students so that they can declare if the students have sufficiently gained required knowledge on the given subject. Therefore, in my view exams are as important as other segments of education and I disagree with such views which may think tests and examinations are unnecessary.

First of all, examinations provide an opportunity for students to display their ability. They can provide the proof of successful completion of their education in the future when they enter the job market by submitting the grades and marks received by them. In the absence of exams, neither the students get motivated to excel academically nor can prove in the future the amount of knowledge he has acquired.

Secondly, it is difficult to imagine any alternative mechanism by which progress of a student can be measured. If we do not have any benchmark, for example, grades, then, it will be extremely problematic for a prospective employer to award the job contract to the best and the deserving candidate. For example, if a pharmaceutical company need a graduate with outstanding credentials in the field, it may certainly be very challenging to them to select the best one in absence of grades as grades can be awarded only after formal examinations.

Therefore, in my conclusion, I would like to summarise my argument that exams and tests are indispensable in the sphere of education. This is why every student should be encouraged to take academic tests seriously in his life. It is beyond our imagination to have any alternative to formal testing. (Total 279 Words)

IELTS Writing Task - 2

 You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

A number of different medical traditions are now widely known and used: Western medicine (using drugs and surgery), herbal medicine, acupuncture (using needles at certain points of the body), homeopathy (using minute doses of poisons), and so on. How important is the patient’s mental attitude towards his/her treatment in determining the effectiveness of the treatment?

Give reasons for your answer.

When a person suffers from a medical problem, it is natural for him to seek an appropriate treatment. What treatment would be the good choice depends on his or her own’s beliefs and faiths. Irrespective of the kinds of treatment chosen, I believe that a great deal of effectiveness of medicine is a direct outcome of patients’ mental attitude and condition.

First of all, patient should shed the fear of deaths or negative thoughts. A positive thought in mind will always bolster to make wonder in patient’s life and recovery from the diseases. Also, patient should consult a good medical practitioner and should trust the judgement received from him or her. If a sick person has complete trust and faith on the doctor and the drugs prescribed, there will be fewer chances of missing the schedule of consumption of medicine.

Secondly, when a person who is ill is in anxiety, additional complications can be seen in such person and it is likely that this will exacerbate the existing pitiable condition. Anxiety can, therefore, lead to additional unwanted symptoms and problems in patient. Additionally, the man suffering from such fateful diseases loses sleep and hunger. Hence, the consequences of lack of trust and faith can be fatal and disastrous.

One more point that I would like to make is that different people show different reactions to a medicine. A drug, a medical treatment and related medical procedures work smoothly only when other health parameters are stable. Therefore, in my conclusion, I would like to state that we should seek medical service by keeping a faith in the system and should realise early that our own psychological reactions can determine the course of our health.

IELTS Academic Writing Task 1- IELTS in Astana, Kazakhstan

IELTS Writing Task 2/ IELTS Essay:

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The table shows the percentage of journeys made by different forms of transport in four countries. The bar graph shows the results of a survey into car use.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

The table gives the percentage of trips made by using different modes of transportation in four different nations namely in Canada, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. The Bar Chart presents the reasons given by the commuters in Canada why they travel by car. Overall, it can be seen that car is the most used means of transport in all the four countries and most of the travellers in Canada have opined that they do not have any alternative means of transport than car.

From the table, it can be deciphered that majority of journeys (that is 90%) in Canada involved car whereas, the car was used in slightly less than half of the travels (that is for 47%) in the Netherlands. Therefore, it is obvious from the table that the least amount of journeys was made by car in the Netherlands than the journeys by car in other three countries.

In Germany, little more than two-thirds of journeys (that is 68%) involved car and in Belgium, the figures show that car was used for making almost three-quarters of the travels.

Another glaring revelation that the table makes is that bicycle is quite popular in the Netherlands and stands at the second place in terms of its use. A little more than a quarter journeys (that is 26%) were made on bicycle in the Netherlands. In sharp contrast to the figures from the Netherlands, very insignificant amount of journeys were made which involved bicycle in other three countries.

As further can be seen from the table, the public transportation was the second preferred mode for travelling in Germany and in Belgium. When it comes to Canada, more journeys were made on foot than by public transportation. Almost one-fifth journeys in the Netherlands were on foot whereas in Germany and in Belgium, the figure was around one-tenth.

Coming to the analysis of bar chart, it can be seen that it provides reasons behind choosing car to travel in Canada. Little more than a third of people surveyed said that there is simply no other alternative. Slightly more than one-fifth of respondents thought that it was due to convenience in travelling. Marginally less than a third of population who answered the question responded that it is due to need of the job rather than the choice. (Total 393 Words)

(My Note: In actual IELTS exam, you cannot write answer with 393 words because you do not have time to write this long and there is no point to write a long answer. Try to make your answer within the word limits i.e. little more than 150 words. The above Task has been rated as answer falling around the IELTS band of 7.5)
