IELTS discussion essay: model answer and analysis

Updated : February 2024

Below is an IELTS question for writing task 2 and my model answer. It is on the topic of Education. After analysing the question, I can see that it’s about whether homework is a good idea or not in helping kids in their educational development . It asks me to discuss both views and also asks for my opinion .

In this case, you must state your opinion in the introduction, the body and conclusion.

In this essay I will need to do 3 things:

Write about why some people think school children should not be given homework by their teachers.
Write about why other people think homework plays an important role in the education of children.
Give my opinion on the issue and explain.

Task Question

Some people believe that school children should not be given homework by their teachers, whereas others argue that homework plays an important role in the education of children. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Model Answer

Some people think it is not a good idea for teachers to assign home study tasks to school children, while others say it is an essential part of learning. I believe pupils need homework to achieve better exam results as it gives them a chance of entering higher education.

On the one hand, some believe that homework is of no benefit and becomes a burden to school children. This is because pupils spend their whole day studying, taking part in after school clubs and feel exhausted after returning home. For instance, in Japan, the majority of minors are under pressure to complete vast amounts of homework along with extracurricular activities. If they fail to finish their assignments they may not do well in exams, meaning they would be unable to get into a good high school. I think home assignments are beneficial but children should not be put under this kind of pressure.

On the other hand, it is widely believed that homework plays a vital role in the development of knowledge for students and I agree with this. In other words, home study tasks help pupils understand school subjects better which allows them to attain higher grades. For example, according to extensive research, children aged between 10 and 16 who are given a large amount of mathematics homework do far better in tests than those who are not given any home assignments. I believe that home study tasks improve a child’s chances of entering tertiary education which leads to a rewarding career.

To conclude, although views differ concerning children being assigned homework, I would argue that home assignments are necessary to help pupils get high grades, enabling them to secure a place at university and improve their career chances.

Word count is 290 words. I advise keeping it under 300 words as you may not have the time to write a long essay in the exam and it is not necessary to write a very long essay.

The structure is:

Introduction: Paraphrased task question with a thesis statement (opinion)
Main body 1: Discussed first view, explained and gave an example with my opinion.
Main body 2: Discussed second view, agreed, explained and gave an example.
Conclusion: Referred to the differing views, opinion rephrased

Make sure to check the task question again before writing your essay. you could lose a band score if it goes off-topic.

Planning time is crucial here, allow 10 minutes to plan an essay and make sure you have some good supporting points to back up your topic sentences.

With a discussion essay, you have to state others views and give supporting sentences with detail and specific examples. Discussion essays often ask your opinion. Click here to see this lesson about stating an opinion.

When we state others views, especially in IELTS Discussion essays, there is specific language that should be used. For more detail on this, click here to see this lesson.

There is a lot of confusion about whether to use personal pronouns in IELTS essays (I, me, my, our, etc..) but if the question asks to ‘what extent do you agree?’ or ‘give your own opinion’ then you need to write personal pronouns… click here to see a lesson on this .

Note on paraphrasing: I have paraphrased the word ‘ homework’ in this essay with the phrases ‘ home study tasks ‘ and ‘ home assignments’ . Sometimes there is no way to avoid repetition but if you have a good understanding of synonyms and referencing you can avoid too much repetition. There are often words that are hard to paraphrase such as ‘people’ or ‘children’.

Not every word from the task question needs paraphrasing and you can repeat words as long as you can demonstrate a wide range of vocabulary. Be very careful not to over paraphrase.

IELTS Discussion Essays [Discuss Both Views/Sides]

Posted by David S. Wills | Jun 14, 2021 | IELTS Tips , Writing | 3

In this lesson, I’m going to explain what an IELTS discussion essay is and how you can write a good one. I will talk about structure and content, as well as looking briefly at discussion essay thesis statements, which many people find tricky. I’ve also written a sample essay, which you can find at the bottom of this page.

What is a Discussion Essay?

As the name suggests, a discussion essay is an essay that discusses things! More specifically, it is a type of IELTS writing task 2 essay that requires you to look at two different points of view . You can easily recognise these essays by the following phrase:

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Sometimes it is phrased a little differently. It might say:

Discuss both sides and give your opinion

Discuss both points view and give your opinion

The important thing is that these all mean the same. When you see any of these, you know that you need to write a discussion essay. Importantly, this instruction tells you that you need to do two things:

Discuss both views (there will have been 2 views mentioned in the previous sentence(s))
Give your opinion (i.e. state which view you agree with)

If you failed to do either of these things, you would not have satisfied the basic criteria for Task Achievement .

Example Discussion Essay Questions

Here is a list of 5 discussion essay questions either from the IELTS exam, reportedly from the IELTS exam, or from reputable publications that have copied the IELTS question style. (Not that you absolutely should avoid fake IELTS questions when practising.)

Some people say that parents should encourage their children to take part in organised group activities in their free time. Others say that is important for children to learn how to occupy themselves on their own. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others, however, think that change is always a good thing. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some people feel that manufacturers and supermarkets have the responsibility to reduce the amount of packaging of goods. Others argue that customers should avoid buying goods with a lot of packaging. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some people believe that higher education should be funded by the government. Others, however, argue that it is the responsibility of individuals to fund their higher education. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some people believe that it is important for children to attend extra classes outside school, while others believe that they should be allowed to play after school. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

You can see in these questions that there is a similar pattern. In each case, the question phrase (“Discuss both views and give your own opinion”) is the same and in the previous sentence or sentences, there are two opposing views. This, then, makes “discuss both views” questions a sort of opinion essay .

How to Answer IELTS Discussion Questions

First of all, it is important when answering any IELTS task 2 question that you read the question carefully so that you understand it, then provide an answer that directly responds to the question, following its instructions carefully.

As discussed above, you are required to do two things: 1) Discuss both views, and 2) Give your own opinion. You absolutely must do both of those. It doesn’t really matter what your opinion is or whether you give equal weighting to both sides of the argument. Instead, you must cover both sides and also give some sort of opinion. (It is important, though, according to the marking rubric , that you are consistent in your opinion.)

Your answer of course should be structured carefully so as to present your ideas in a thoroughly logical way that is easy for your reader to interpret. I almost always use a four-paragraph structure in my essays, but some people prefer to use five paragraphs in this sort of essay. The difference would look like this:

You might be wondering why I have given my opinion in the body of the five-paragraph essay but not in the four-paragraph essay. Well, actually I would give my opinion in the body of both. However, my opinion would be more subtly woven into the text of the four-paragraph essay. I personally find this to be a better method, but it is equally possible that you could write an amazing five-paragraph essay. That issue is discussed further in this video:

Discussion Essay Thesis Statement

In academic writing, a thesis statement (sometimes called an essay outline ) is the part of the essay where you insert your opinion. It typically comes at the end of the introduction and guides the reader by explaining your opinion on the issues that have been introduced.

But do you really need to provide one in such a short essay? Well, a 2018 study into successful IELTS essays concluded that thesis statements were “obligatory” – i.e. you absolutely do need one. In fact, that study found that thesis statements appeared in 100% of successful IELTS discussion essays! Therefore, we can conclude they are very important.

Because a discussion essay will tell you to “Discuss both views and give your opinion,” you must introduce the two views and then give your opinion in the introduction. Here is an example:

Introductory paragraph:

In some parts of the world, children are forced to go to cram schools and other facilities of extracurricular learning, but many people believe that this is unfair and that they should be allowed to enjoy their free time instead. This essay will look at both perspectives and then conclude that it is indeed unfair.

My first sentence clearly introduces two different ideas:

Children should do extra classes
Children should not do extra classes

Note how I have successfully used synonyms to avoid repeating anything from the question. I have also framed the issue in a new way so that I am not just paraphrasing. (You can learn why paraphrasing is not always helpful here .)

My second sentence is the thesis statement. In this sentence, I outline what the essay will do (“look at both perspectives”) and then give my opinion (“it is unfair”). This is a simple but effective thesis statement.

Thesis Statement Advice

Your IELTS discussion essay thesis statement should do two things:

Tell the reader what the essay will do
Present your opinion

Because this is a formal essay, it is best not to be too personal. Instead of saying “I will…” or “I think…” it is better to say “This essay will…” Here are some simple templates that you can follow most of the time:

This essay will look at both sides and then argue that…
This essay will discuss both views but ultimately side with…

Just make sure to avoid being overly vague. You are required to give your opinion consistently throughout the essay, so don’t say “This essay will look at both sides and then give my opinion .” It is not really the best approach because the examiner wants to see that you can be consistent in presenting an opinion. That is clearly stated in the marking rubric. For band 7, it says:

presents a clear position throughout the response

It could be concluded, then, that your opinion is not clear from the start and so you have not done enough to warrant a band 7 for Task Achievement.

Body Paragraphs

As I mentioned above, there are really two main approaches you could take to the body paragraphs:

Discuss one view per paragraph and incorporate your opinion into each.
Discuss one view per paragraph and then have another for your opinion.

I suppose there is also a third option:

Compare and contrast the two viewpoints in each paragraph.

This last one may be a little harder to do successfully without jeopardising your score for Task Achievement or Coherence and Cohesion , but advanced candidates may find it useful.

Remember that there is no single perfect formula for an IELTS essay. That’s not how languages work and that’s not how IELTS works. Different people could come up with different ways to present a successful essay. The most common essay structures are mere guidelines for particularly useful methods of approaching an essay.

Does a Discussion Essay Have to be Balanced?

Because the question says “Discuss both views,” it is quite logical to think that you must provide some degree of balance, but you certainly don’t need to give equal weighting to both sides. Remember that you are also going to give your opinion, so if you come down strongly on one side of the issue, it might be odd to give equal attention to both.

If you do feel very strongly about one side, you might want to present your discussion of the other side as quite negative. However, IELTS is a thinking exam as well as an English exam and an intelligent person can always look at both sides of an issue and explain – at the very least – why someone might believe a thing that is different to his own view. This seems quite important, but there is nothing explicitly mentioned in the marking rubric.

I would suggest that if you think a two-sided issue is basically one-sided (i.e. you strongly disagree with the other view), you should still write one or two sentences about why people believe that and then devote the rest of your essay to disputing their view.

Another approach is to write BP1 as a very short paragraph that explains why people might think one thing, but then have BP2 as a very long paragraph that debunks the opposing view and then explains why the other is correct.

(You can read more about IELTS essays and balance here .)

Sample Answer

Here is my full sample answer to the above question about whether or not children should be made to do extracurricular activities:

In some parts of the world, children are forced to go to cram schools and other facilities of extracurricular learning, but many people believe that this is unfair and that they should be allowed to enjoy their free time instead. This essay will look at both perspectives and then conclude that it is indeed unfair. In countries like South Korea, most children are made to go to an array of cram schools outside of regular school hours. Their parents do this in order to give their child a better future because it helps the child to learn more and thus gives them the academic advantages needed to apply to the best universities or jobs in future. These schools often provide children with an advantage over their peers because they improve their foreign language or math skills more quickly, and thus the children who do not attend these schools might have comparatively poor grades. However, whilst this attitude may result in better academic performance, it is certainly not good for the mental health of these children. It is no coincidence that places like South Korea have the highest rates of suicide among their young populations. The fact is that children are not equipped to spend fourteen or sixteen hours per day in classrooms, memorising facts and figures. In a sense, it is a form of child abuse. Children should be allowed to go home and spend time with friends and family to build social skills. They should be allowed to occupy themselves in order to become more creative and learn how to understand their own mind instead of being trained to repeat what they are told. In conclusion, it is understandable that some parents want their children to go to extra classes, but this is damaging to children and they should be given the freedom to play and socialise outside of regular school hours.

In BP1, I have looked at the topic of cram schools (ie the side of the argument in favour of extra lessons). I explored why parents might want their kids to do this and show the supposed benefits. Note that I never embraced any of these benefits. I was careful to use language that distanced these ideas from my own opinion, which was the opposite, so I said “Their parents do this in order to…”

In BP2, I looked at the opposite side. I was careful to make sure that my first sentence linked to the previous paragraph, highlighting that the benefits are quite minor compared to the drawbacks. All of my sentences here justify my position, which is that it is cruel to force these extra lessons on children.

My conclusion ties all of this together. The first clause references BP1 and the second summarises the main argument in BP2.

How to Save Time in IELTS Reading

February 15, 2021

It is sometimes debatable whether asking children to get extra education after school or letting them play that is actually beneficial for them. Even though both viewpoints have benefits and drawbacks but I believe ,in the childhood age, children have to take rough and discipline education after school to be succeed in the future.

To begin with, many educational experts believe that playing is one of the essential aspects that have to be gotten by children to grow and happy. By using the playing approach, children can have a good mental and psychic health. Besides, letting children play after school can also support them to increase their emotional stimuli and get a positive social interaction. With this way, experts believe children can grow as a better adult in the future and have a freedom to get a better life in the upcoming times.

However, I completely contra with the first idea because I believe childhood is a better time to train children about academic or other skills that benefits them in the future. Based on scientific journal that I read, the ability of children in learning new things are more spectacular compared to adults. A lot of artists, scientist, and even football player who currently becoming a superstar in this era is a string of process that is began since their in the childhood. For instance, nowadays, I am working in the field of election supervision, it because since in my childhood my father love to force me learning about social and political issues by getting additional class. Thus, making children to get extra class after school is an appropriate preference if parents desire to see their son getting a good future.

To conclude, based on experts children have to get a freedom to play after schools but in my viewpoint it will be more advantages if they utilize the playing time with joining additional class after school.

VERY GOOD MR DIRWAN But actually you mixed both of the ideas , you need to take one side for this sort of essay writting, as it is mentioned in the above instruction. By the way WELL DONE . love from Pakistan to my sweet brother.

I have not checked in here for some time because I thought it was getting boring, but the last few posts are really great quality so I guess I’ll add you back to my everyday bloglist. You deserve it my friend. ??

How To Plan & Write IELTS Discussion Essays

Students can find it difficult to identify IELTS discussion essays and often confuse them with either opinion essays or advantage and disadvantage essays.

This is one of the issues I’ll be covering in this lesson. I’m also going to show you how to plan and write discussion essays step-by-step.

Here’s what we’ll be covering:

Once you understand the process, practice on past questions. Take your time at first and gradually speed up until you can plan and write an essay of at least 250 words in the 40 minutes allowed in the exam.

The Question

The first part of the question for an IELTS discussion essay will be a statement containing two opposing views.

You will then be asked to discuss both sides of the argument and give your own opinion. Here is some typical wording that might be used:

Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Discuss both these views and then give your own opinion.
Discuss both sides of this argument and give your own opinion.

Here's a question from a past test paper.

Some people think that zoos are cruel and should be closed down. Others, however, believe that zoos can be useful in protecting wild animals.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

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

Write at least 250 words.

I’ll be using this question to guide you through the process of planning and writing an IELTS discussion essay.

The key to identifying this type of question is the fact that you are required to discuss BOTH views. This is different to opinion questions where you must decide between two opposing views and make an argument to support your own opinion.

Opinion essays , also known as ‘agree or disagree’ essays, a generally worded in one of these ways:

What is your opinion? / Do you agree or disagree? / To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The other essay type that students mistake for discussion essays is advantages and disadvantages essays . With these, the statement will contain just one view and the question will typically be written as shown in this sample question.

School children are using computers in school more than ever.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this and give your own opinion.

The consequence of incorrectly identifying the question type is that you will use the wrong structure for your essay. This is a major reason why people make the mistakes we’ll now look at.

3 Common Mistakes

These three errors are common in IELTS discussion essays.

Not stating your opinion.
Not giving arguments for both views.
Not developing both sides of the argument equally.

The most common mistake that students make is not giving their opinion. The question will clearly state that you must choose one side of the argument to agree with. If you fail to do this, you will get a low score for task achievement.

It doesn’t matter which side of the argument you take or even, that you actually agree with it.

However, you must give equal attention to both sides. A common error is to provide a stronger argument for the view you favour. This leads to an unbalanced essay and a low score for task achievement.

Essay Structure

Now let’s look at a simple structure you can use to write IELTS discussion essays. It’s not the only possible structure but it’s the one I recommend because it’s easy to learn and will enable you to quickly plan and write a high-level essay.

1) Introduction

Paraphrase the question
State two supporting reasons
Give your opinion

2) Main body paragraph 1

Topic sentence – outline the view you don’t agree with
Explanation – explain why this view is held by some people
Example – give an example

3 ) Main body paragraph 2

Topic sentence – outline the view you do agree with

4) Conclusion

Summarise the key points and state your opinion

This structure will give us a well-balanced essay with 4 paragraphs.

We now need some ideas to add into the structure and we’ll have everything we need for our essay.

How To Plan IELTS Discussion Essays

# 1 analyse the question.

This is an essential step in the planning process and will ensure that you answer the question fully. It’s quick and easy to do. You just need to identify 3 different types of words:

1. Topic words

2. Other keywords

3. Instruction words

We’ve already considered the instruction words (the actual question) so we’ll focus on the first two.

Topics words are the ones that identify the general subject of the question.

Some people think that zoos are cruel and should be closed down. Others, however, believe that zoos can be useful in protecting wild animals.

So, this question is about ‘ zoos ’.

Many people do this first step of the process and then write about the topic in general. This is a serious mistake and leads to low marks for task achievement.

What we need to do now that we know the general topic, is to understand exactly what aspect of zoos we're being asked to write about.

The other keywords in the question tell you the specific topic you must write about. They define the opinions stated in the statement.

Some people think tha t zoos are cruel and should be closed down . Others, however, believe that zoos c an be useful in protecting wild animals .

By highlighting these words, it’s easy to see that you are being asked to write about the opposing views that zoos are cruel and should be closed down and that zoos can be useful in protecting wild animals. Your essay must only include ideas relevant to these ideas.

# 2 Decide on your opinion

As already mentioned, it doesn’t matter if you genuinely agree with the view you take in your essay or not. IELTS discussion essays are about your ability to write a well-structured essay in the English language and you will not be assessed on any opinion you might hold.

So, choose one view and make sure that your opinion is clear throughout the essay.

For this model essay, I’m going to agree with the statement that zoos are cruel and should be closed down.

# 3 Generate ideas

The next task is to generate some ideas to write about.

There are several different ways to think up ideas. I cover them fully on the IELTS Essay Planning page.

We’re going to use the ‘friends technique’. This is my preferred method as it allows you to take a step back from the stress of the exam situation and think more calmly.

Here’s how it works. Imagine you are chatting with a friend and they ask you the question in a casual conversation. What answers would you give them off the top of your head? Plan your essay around these ideas.

Doing this will help you to come up with simple answers in everyday language rather than straining your brain to think of amazing ideas using high level-language, which isn’t necessary.

You might want to try this yourself before reading on for my ideas.

Here are my ideas:

Cruel – closed down:

Cramped cages – animals distressed
Unnatural environments
Most animals not endangered
Animals become a public spectacle for entertainment

Useful – protect wild animals:

Research work to learn more about wild animals
Breeding programmes for endangered species
Some species saved from extinction
Seeing wild animals close up inspires people to want to help protect them

I’ve got more ideas here than I need so I’m going to pick two to develop in the essay – one for each of the main body paragraphs.

Idea 1 – Cramped cages & unnatural environments, animals distressed.

Idea 2 – Breeding programmes for endangered species, some species saved from extinction.

We’re almost ready to start writing our IELTS discussion essay but first, we have one other small task to do.

# 4 Vocabulary

In an IELTS essay, it’s important to be able to say the same things in different ways, either by paraphrasing and/or using synonyms. During the planning stage, quickly jot down a few synonyms of key words you could use to save you having to stop and think of the right language while you’re writing.

For example:

zoos – animals in captivity, collections of wild animals, menagerie, wildlife park

cruel – to cause suffering, inhumane

protect – safeguard, preserve

animals – creatures, species

With that done, we can focus on the first paragraph of the essay – the introduction.

How To Write an Introduction

Good introductions to IELTS discussion essays have a simple 3 part structure:

1) Paraphrase the question

2) State two supporting reasons (outline statement)

3) Give your opinion (thesis statement)

Have 2-3 sentences
Be 40-60 words long
Take 5 minutes to write

Start your introduction by paraphrasing the question.

Question: Some people think that zoos are cruel and should be closed down. Others, however, believe that zoos can be useful in protecting wild animals.

There are various phrases you can use to do this. Here are three examples. They all say the same thing using different language.

Some people argue that… while others say that…
It is considered by some…. while there are others who think….
It is often argued that... whilst others disagree and think...

Choose one and add the details in the question statement in a paraphrased form. I recommend putting the view you don’t agree with first.

Paraphrased question:

Some people argue that zoos help to preserve wild creatures, while others say that they are inhumane and should be abolished.

Note my use of synonyms. You don’t have to replace every key word but do so where possible whilst ensuring that your language sounds natural. There aren’t any suitable synonyms of ‘zoo’ that I can think of, so I've repeated this word from the statement.

2) Thesis and outline statements

Now we need to add an outline statement where you outline the two main points that you’ll cover in the rest of the essay (ideas 1 and 2 above) and a thesis statement where you state your opinion.

Outline & thesis statements:

While the development of breeding programmes contributes to the preservation of endangered species, I believe that the poor conditions that many animals held in captivity are kept in make the existence of zoos unacceptable.

So, let’s bring the three elements of our introduction together.

Introduction

This introduction achieves three important functions:

It shows the examiner that you understand the question.
It acts as a guide to the examiner as to what your essay is about.
It also helps to keep you focused and on track as you write.

The two ideas in your introduction will become your two main body paragraphs.

Main body paragraph 1 – Breeding programmes for endangered species, some species saved from extinction.

Main body paragraph 2 – Cramped cages & unnatural environments, animals distressed.

How To Write Main Body Paragraphs

Main body paragraphs in IELTS discussion essays should contain 3 things:

It is easier to begin by discussing the opinion you don’t agree with and then present the reasons for the opposing view that you support. So, we’ll start with idea 1.

Main Body Paragraph 1

The topic sentence summarises the main idea of the paragraph. That’s all it needs to do so it doesn’t have to be complicated.

It plays an important role in ensuring that your ideas flow logically from one to another. It does this by acting as a signpost for what is to come next, that is, what the paragraph will be about.

If you maintain a clear development of ideas throughout your essay, you will get high marks for task achievement and cohesion and coherence.

We’ll now take the idea for our first main body paragraph and create our topic sentence.

Topic sentence:

On the one hand, there are many projects in existence in zoological parks around the world where species facing extinction have been successfully bred in captivity and their numbers increased substantially.

Next, we must write an explanation sentence that expands on the idea. This explains to the examiner what we mean or why this is the case.

Explanation sentence:

This is important for ensuring the survival of animals under threat from poaching and the destruction of their natural environments.

Finally, we add an example to support our main point. If you can’t think of a real example, it’s fine to make one up, as long as it’s believable. The examiner isn’t going to check your facts.

Example sentence:

A good example of this is the golden lion tamarin from Brazil which nearly died out because of logging and mining activities which are destroying its habitat. Today, a third of wild golden lion tamarins were raised in captivity.

That’s the 3 parts of our first main body paragraph complete. Here’s the finished paragraph.

We now follow the same process for our second main body paragraph.

Main Body Paragraph 2

Main idea 2 – Cramped cages & unnatural environments, animals distressed.

First, we write the topic sentence to summarise the main idea. I started main body paragraph 1 with the phrase ‘On the one hand...’, so main body paragraph 2 will naturally begin, ‘On the other hand... .

These are great cohesive devices to use when making a direct contrast between two opposing views and they link the ideas together well. They can be used in most IELTS discussion essays and will help to earn you a good score for cohesion and coherence.

Topic sentence:

On the other hand, a significant percentage of zoos house their animals in cramped cages with very little space to move around or behave naturally.

Now for the explanation sentence where we expand on this idea.

Explanation sentence:

This can lead to them becoming distressed and depressed as well as suffering physically through lack of exercise.

Finally, an example to support this point.

A friend of mine recently visited a wildlife park while on holiday abroad and was very upset to see the lions pacing up and down in a narrow, bare pen and eagles in enclosures so small that they were unable to fly.

That’s the 3 parts of our second main body paragraph complete. Here’s the finished paragraph.

Now we need a conclusion and our IELTS discussion essay is done.

How To Write a Conclusion

Conclusions to IELTS discussion essays should do two things:

Summarise the main points
State your opinion

This can generally be done in a single sentence.

If you're below the minimum 250 words after you’ve written your conclusion, you can add a prediction or recommendation statement.

Our essay currently has 231 words so we’re on target and don’t need this extra sentence but you can learn more about how to write a prediction or recommendation statement for IELTS discussion essays on the Task 2 Conclusions page.

The conclusion is the easiest sentence in the essay to write but one of the most important.

A good conclusion will:

Neatly end the essay
Link all your ideas together
Sum up your argument or opinion
Answer the question

If you achieve this, you’ll improve your score for both task achievement and cohesion and coherence which together make up 50% of the overall marks. Without a conclusion, you’ll score below band 6 for task achievement.

You can start almost any final paragraph of an IELTS discussion essay with the words:

In conclusion

To conclude

Now all you need to do is briefly summarise the main ideas into one sentence.

Here’s a top tip . Go back and read the introduction to the essay because this is also a summary of the essay. It outlines what you are going to write about.

To create a great conclusion, you simply have to paraphrase the introduction. Let’s give it a go.

Introduction:

Here is the same information formed into a conclusion:

That’s it. We’ve completed our essay. Here it is with the 4 paragraphs put together.

Hướng dẫn cách viết dạng bài discussion essay từng bước cụ thể ghi điểm cao. Cùng với bài mẫu tham khảo & các sai lầm phổ biến cần tránh & tips làm bài.

Chủ đề bài viết

Đối với IELTS Writing Task 2 , bạn sẽ được yêu cầu viết một bài luận về một chủ đề bất kỳ với nhiều dạng bài khác nhau, trong đó discussion essay là dạng bài rất phổ biến.

1. Discussion essay là gì?

Dạng discussion essay trong IELTS Writing sẽ đưa ra hai vấn đề/quan điểm trái ngược nhau và yêu cầu người viết bàn luận về cả hai vấn đề/quan điểm đó và đưa ra ý kiến cá nhân của mình. Điều quan trọng là bạn cần giữ được tính khách quan khi phân tích các khía cạnh của vấn đề, rồi từ đó mới đưa ra ý kiến cá nhân. Dưới đây là một số yêu cầu đề bài thường gặp:

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Discuss both these views and then give your own opinion.

Discuss both sides of this argument and give your own opinion.

Some people think that zoos are cruel and should be closed down. Others, however, believe that zoos can be useful in protecting wild animals.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In many countries, traditional foods are being replaced by international fast food. Many people think that it is good to eat traditional food while others believe that fast food is a good choice.

Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

2. Cách nhận biết discussion essay

Nếu đề bài yêu cầu như Discuss both these views…/Discuss both views…/Discuss both sides …thì chính là dạng bài discussion essay. Chìa khóa nhận biết là đề bài đưa ra một vấn đề với hai ý kiến trái chiều và bạn cần bàn luận cả hai, và đưa thêm quan điểm cá nhân của chính bạn. Thí sinh thường nhầm lẫn dạng bài opinion và advantages/disadvantages.

Dạng bài opinion essay yêu cầu bạn đưa ra một quan điểm và dùng những lý luận để phân tích quan điểm đó.

Dạng bài advantages/disadvantages đưa ra một vấn đề, có thể là một sự phát triển về mặt nào đó, sau đó yêu cầu bạn đưa ra các ưu điểm và nhược điểm của xu hướng này.

3. Những lỗi thường gặp trong discussion essay

Khi bạn xác định sai dạng bài, bài luận sẽ không đáp ứng yêu cầu đề bài. Sau đây là 3 sai lầm thường gặp khi làm bài discussion essay:

Không đưa ra ý kiến cá nhân.

Không phân tích hai mặt quan điểm.

Không phân tích hai mặt quan điểm một cách đồng đều.

Sai lầm phổ biến nhất mà thí sinh mắc phải là không đưa ra ý kiến cá nhân của mình. Đề bài yêu cầu bạn nêu ý kiến cá nhân, liệu sau khi phân tích thì cuối cùng bạn nghiêng về bên nào hơn. Nếu bạn không trình bày được, bạn sẽ không ghi điểm cho tiêu chí Task achievement (khả năng hoàn thành yêu cầu bài thi).

Bạn hãy nhớ rằng, không quan trọng bạn đồng ý khía cạnh nào của quan điểm hoặc thậm chí là bạn đồng ý với nó như thế nào. Tuy nhiên, bạn phải phân tích đồng đều cho cả hai vế. Lỗi mà thí sinh thường mắc phải là phân tích quan điểm họ đồng tình sâu sắc hơn, dẫn đến sự mất cân bằng trong lập luận của cả hai quan điểm.

4. Cấu trúc của một bài discussion essay

Cấu trúc bài là một phần quan trọng không thể thiếu khi viết bất kỳ dạng bài nào. Tương tự như các dạng essay khác, discussion essay bao gồm 3 phần chính mở bài, thân bài, kết bài.

Cấu trúc này sẽ giúp bài discussion essay cân đối. Sau đây là các bước chuẩn bị giúp bạn làm bài hiệu quả.

5. Các bước chuẩn bị viết discussion essay

Bước 1: phân tích đề bài.

Phân tích đề bài là một bước quan trọng trong quá trình chuẩn bị đảm bảo bạn hoàn thành bài luận theo yêu cầu đề bài. Bước này vô cùng dễ thực hiện. Bạn chỉ cần xác định 3 ý sau:

Xác định chủ đề cần bàn luận là gì.

Xác định quan điểm/vấn đề của chủ đề.

Xác định yêu cầu đề bài.

Chủ đề nói về zoos .

Sau khi bạn xác định được chủ đề thì hãy xác định quan điểm mà đề bài yêu cầu viết về.

Some people think that zoos are cruel and should be closed down . Others, however, believe that zoos can be useful in protecting wild animals .

Thông qua những từ khóa này, đề bài yêu cầu viết về hai quan điểm trái ngược nhau. Sở thú là nơi tàn nhẫn và không nên hoạt động, mặc khác cho rằng chúng hữu ích trong việc bảo vệ động vật hoang dã. Bạn cần phân tích hai quan điểm này.

Bước 2: Chọn quan điểm mà bạn đồng ý

Giám khảo đánh giá bài luận của bạn thông qua khả năng viết tiếng Anh với một cấu trúc tốt hay không, không quan trọng là bạn đồng ý với quan điểm nào. Vì vậy, bạn có thể chọn quan điểm nào mà bạn đồng tình và đảm bảo nó rõ ràng, thống nhất trong bài luận. Đối với đề bài này, bạn có thể đồng ý với nhận định rằng sở thú là nơi tàn nhẫn và không nên hoạt động.

Bước 3: Lên ý tưởng & Lập dàn ý bài discussion essay

Bước tiếp theo là lên một số ý tưởng và lập dàn ý để viết.

Để không căng thẳng và bình tĩnh suy nghĩ trong lúc làm bài, bạn hãy tưởng tượng bạn đang trò chuyện với một người và họ hỏi bạn câu hỏi thường nhật. Bạn sẽ trả lời họ như thế nào? Từ đó, hãy lập dàn ý cho bài luận từ những ý tưởng trả lời của bạn.

Cách này sẽ giúp bạn đưa ra câu trả lời đơn giản với từ ngữ không quá phức tạp. Hãy thử mẹo này nhé.

Đây là một số ý tưởng bạn có thể tham khảo:

Cruel – closed down:

Cramped cages – animals distressed

Unnatural environments

Most animals not endangered

Animals become a public spectacle for entertainment

Useful – protect wild animals:

Research work to learn more about wild animals

Breeding programmes for endangered species

Some species saved from extinction

Seeing wild animals close up inspires people to want to help protect them

Trên đây có khá nhiều ý tưởng, bạn có thể chọn hai ý để làm luận cứ phân tích và bàn luận cho hai quan điểm.

Idea 1 – Cramped cages & unnatural environments, animals distressed.

Idea 2 – Breeding programmes for endangered species, some species saved from extinction.

Bước 4: Chuẩn bị từ vựng

Trong bài luận IELTS, điều quan trọng là có thể diễn đạt cùng một ý nghĩa theo những cách khác nhau, bằng cách paraphrase hoặc sử dụng từ đồng nghĩa. Trong bước lập dàn ý, hãy nhanh chóng ghi lại một vài từ đồng nghĩa mà bạn có thể sử dụng.

zoos – animals in captivity, collections of wild animals, menagerie, wildlife park

cruel – to cause suffering, inhumane

protect – safeguard, preserve

animals – creatures, species

Sau khi hoàn tất các bước chuẩn bị, chúng ta bắt tay vào việc viết bài.

6. Hướng dẫn cách viết discussion essay

Cách viết phần mở bài.

Phần mở bài của discussion essay gồm 3 phần đơn giản:

Paraphrase câu hỏi.

Tổng quan ý tưởng sẽ phân tích cho hai quan điểm mà bạn đề cập trong phần thân bài.

Đưa ra ý kiến cá nhân.

Phần mở bài nên từ 2 - 3 câu. 40 - 60 từ. Dành 5 phút để viết.

Paraphrase câu hỏi

Bắt đầu phần mở bài bằng cách paraphrase câu hỏi.

Bạn có thể sử dụng nhiều cụm từ để paraphrase câu hỏi. Sau đây là ví dụ các cụm từ khác nhau nhưng thể hiện cùng ý nghĩa.

Some people argue that… while others say that…

It is considered by some…. while there are others who think….

It is often argued that... whilst others disagree and think...

Chọn một trong các ví dụ trên và paraphrase câu hỏi. Bạn có thể đề cập quan điểm mà bạn không đồng ý trước.

Lưu ý việc sử dụng từ đồng nghĩa trong ví dụ mẫu. Bạn không cần phải thay thế các từ trong câu, bạn có thể thay bằng từ khác nếu nó phù hợp và tự nhiên.

Tổng quan ý tưởng và luận điểm cá nhân

Tiếp theo, bạn cần thêm một câu tổng quan về ý tưởng để làm luận cứ cho hai quan điểm mà bạn sẽ trình bày trong phần thân bài (idea 1 và 2 ví dụ trên) và một câu thể hiện quan điểm cá nhân của mình.

Sau đây là phần mở bài hội tụ đủ 3 phần:

Phần mở bài này đáp ứng được ba chức năng quan trọng:

Giúp giám khảo thấy rằng bạn hiểu đề bài.

Giúp giám khảo nắm bắt nội dung chính bài luận.

Giúp bạn tập trung và đi đúng hướng khi viết.

Xem thêm: Cách viết phần mở bài tốt trong IELTS Writing Task 2

Hai ý tưởng đề cập trong phần mở bài sẽ được phân tích ở hai phần thân bài.

Thân bài thứ nhất – Breeding programmes for endangered species, some species saved from extinction.

Thân bài thứ hai – Cramped cages & unnatural environments, animals distressed.

Cách viết phần thân bài

Các phần thân bài trong essay discussion IELTS nên thể hiện ba điều:

Câu chủ đề (topic sentence) – tóm tắt ý chính của đoạn văn.

Giải thích – giải thích tại sao quan điểm này được ủng hộ.

Đưa ra một ví dụ.

Việc đề cập trước quan điểm mà bạn không đồng ý, sau đó thể hiện lý do bạn đồng tính với quan điểm đối lập sẽ tạo cảm giác thoải mái khi bắt đầu hơn. Vì vậy, chúng ta sẽ bắt đầu với ý tưởng 1.

Thân bài thứ nhất

Câu chủ đề là câu tóm tắt ý chính của đoạn văn. Nó không cần phức tạp.

Câu chủ đề đóng một vai trò quan trọng giúp các ý tưởng liên kết theo một mạch từ ý này sang ý khác. Nó giúp người đọc dễ dàng nắm bắt đoạn văn sẽ nói về điều gì.

Nếu bạn duy trì sự phát triển ý rõ ràng trong suốt bài luận của mình, bạn sẽ được ghi điểm cho tiêu chí task achievement (khả năng hoàn thành yêu cầu bài thi) và cohesion and coherence (tính liên kết và mạch lạc).

Dưới đây là câu tiêu đề.

Sau khi viết câu tiêu đề, chúng ta cần viết một câu giải thích để bổ trợ cho ý chính. Nó giúp làm ý của bạn rõ hơn hoặc giải thích tại sao có quan điểm đó.

Sau cùng, bạn đưa ra một ví dụ để dẫn chứng. Nếu bạn không thể nghĩ ra một ví dụ thực tế nào, bạn có thể đưa ra một ví dụ bất kỳ, miễn là nó đáng tin cậy. Giám khảo sẽ không kiểm tra sự thật.

Dưới đây là phần thân bài thứ nhất hoàn chỉnh.

Bây giờ bạn làm theo quy trình tương tự cho đoạn thân bài thứ hai.

Thân bài thứ hai

Đầu tiên, chúng ta sẽ viết câu chủ đề để tóm tắt ý chính. Trong phần thân bài thứ nhất, bạn đã sử dụng cụm từ ‘On the one hand...’, nên phần thân bài thứ hai sẽ bắt đầu cụm từ ‘On the other hand… .

Khi sử dụng cụm từ này, chúng sẽ tạo ra sự tương phản giữa hai quan điểm đối lập, hơn nữa chúng giúp liên kết các ý với nhau một cách mạch lạc. Vì vậy, các dạng cụm từ tương phản được sử dụng trong hầu hết các IELTS discussion essay giúp bạn được ghi điểm trong tiêu chí cohesion và coherence (sự gắn kết và mạch lạc).

Tiếp theo là câu giải thích để bổ trợ cho ý chính.

Sau cùng, bạn đưa ra một ví dụ để dẫn chứng.

Dưới đây là phần thân bài thứ hai hoàn chỉnh.

Bây giờ chúng ta qua phần kết bài để hoàn thành bài IELTS discussion essay.

Cách viết phần kết bài

Phần kết bài cho các bài discussion essay thể hiện hai điều:

Tóm tắt những điểm chính.

Nêu ý kiến của bạn.

Câu kết cho bài luận thường có thể viết trong một câu duy nhất. Nếu toàn bộ bài luận của bạn tối thiểu 250 từ, bạn có thể viết thêm câu dự đoán hoặc lời đề xuất.

Kết luận là câu dễ viết nhất trong bài luận nhưng lại là một trong những câu quan trọng nhất.

Một kết luận tốt sẽ:

Kết thúc bài luận cô đọng, súc tích.

Liên kết tất cả các ý với nhau.

Tổng kết các lập luận hoặc quan điểm của bạn.

Trả lời câu hỏi.

Nếu bạn thể hiện các điều này, bạn sẽ được ghi điểm cho tiêu chí task achievement (khả năng hoàn thành yêu cầu bài thi) và cohesion & coherence (tính liên kết và mạch lạc), chiếm 50% tổng số điểm. Nếu không có phần kết bài, tiêu chí task achievement của bạn sẽ dưới 6 điểm.

Để bắt đầu cho phần kết bài, bạn có thể dùng các từ: In conclusion hoặc To conclude và tất cả những gì bạn cần làm là tóm tắt ngắn gọn những ý chính thành một câu.

Đây là một mẹo hàng đầu. Bạn đọc lại phần mở bài vì đây là phần tóm tắt của bài luận. Nó tóm lượt những gì bạn sẽ viết về.

Để viết phần kết bài tốt, bạn chỉ cần paraphrase phần mở bài. Sau đây là ví dụ.

Đây là phần kết bài với thông tin tương tự phần mở bài:

Xem thêm: Cách viết đoạn kết luận tốt trong IELTS Writing Task 2

Sau đây là bài luận hoàn chỉnh với phần mở bài, thân bài, và kết bài.

Bài discussion essay hoàn chỉnh.

Nếu bạn cần hiểu rõ và nắm được sâu sắc cách thức làm bài thì hãy đọc bài viết này nhiều lần và thực hành cho các đề mẫu khác. Thực hành là cách duy nhất để cải thiện kỹ năng của bạn. Chúc các bạn thành công.

IELTS Discussion Essay Model Answer

This IELTS discussion essay sample answer is estimated at band 9. See comments below the essay for advice and tips.

Completing university education is thought by some to be the best way to get a good job. On the other hand, other people think that getting experience and developing soft skills is more important. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

It is considered by some that being a university graduate is the key to securing a good job, while there are others who think that it is better to have experience and soft skills. In my opinion, I believe that having university education is essential for academic jobs, while soft skills and experience are more useful in business.

On the one hand, many think it is easier for most people to find a good job if they are university graduates with a good degree. In other words, having tertiary education puts people one step ahead of others who do not and this can be the deciding factor in getting a good job. The competition to get in to universities and the increasing number of graduates show just how significant this level of education is for people’s future work opportunities.

On the other hand, having work experience and soft skills, such as leadership skills and other interpersonal skills, can also throw the balance in favour of the applicant, according to some. For many positions there are an overwhelming number of applicants and, therefore, it is often thought that having relevant experience in that line of work or having acquired useful soft skills that can be valuable to a company, can put one ahead of the game when applying for a position.

Finally, in my opinion, whether needing high level education or skills and experience, depends on the position being applied for. Take for example law, medicine or teaching, it is impossible to be considered for a position without the required educational background. In contrast, in business, it would be more important for a candidate to have soft skills and experience in that line of business so they can step into a position without further training and be of immediate benefit to the company.

In conclusion, getting a good job requires a relevant background either in experience or education depending on the type of work and field. People should make sure they attain the necessary skills or degrees before applying for a job in order to be sure of success.

Comments : This is a a band score 9 essay. It has over 300 words but all sentences are relevant, focused and well written. Band score 8.5 and 9 students can attempt long essays successfully but students from band 8 to band 6, should aim for around 270 to 290 words. Both sides are clearly discussed and the opinion is also clearly given. Linking devices are well used.

Hi Liz need your guidance.. today was my IELTS exam and in writing portion I wrote 4 paragraph and forget to leave line spacing.. but I wrote arrow sign before starting my next paragraph.. will it affect my score??

I’ve never actually heard of someone using an arrow sign to indicate a paragraph in an IELTS essay. When I advise people to leave an empty line between paragraphs, it because this is how we write these days and it also makes the paragraphs 100% clear and easy to see. The examiner needs to see paragraphs to give you a score for paragraphing. So, leaving an empty line ensures there is no confusion. However, it isn’t a rule to leave an empty line. It is possible to indent the first word instead. The reason I don’t recommend this is because it is often not obvious or clear to the reader that the word in indented. So, to avoid unclear paragraphing leaving an empty line is much better. Regarding your choice of using arrows, if the examiner realises that you are indicating paragraphs, it will be ok. But I don’t know whether this will be the case because I’ve never heard of someone doing it in an IELTS essay. My recommendation is to talk it over with your test centre and see what they say. Having clear well organised paragraphs is part of the marking criterion of Coherence & Cohesion, which counts for 25% of your marks. Not having paragraphs at all would lower your score in that marking criterion, but would not impact any other part of the marking for writing task 1. Hopefully, the examiner will understand your arrows and you will be fine.

Hi liz, your lessons helped me a lot when I was applying to study abroad. Now, Im in my dream country and after 2 yrs here I am again to learn from you. Thank you so much for all the lessons you provide, I pray for your better health and happiness.

It was lovely to read your message and hear how well you are doing. I wish you all the best with your future life in your dream country 🙂

Dear Madam with reference back to the advanced lesson on the opinion essay, I’m just wondering how to write a good one when IELTS opinion essay is followed by a direct question. (Test 3, Book # 8, IELTS Cambridge Series) Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think might be effective?

Each question will be answered in one body paragraph. So, one body paragraph will be your opinion and one will be solutions (but stick to no more than 2 solutions because otherwise it might read like a list).

Many thanks for your guidance.

Thanks for your reply.

Ma’am we don’t see you anymore on YouTube channel. Is everything alright? Your videos are very beneficial for all IELTS students and we want more from you. Thank You!

Thanks for your message. I’ve been battling a serious illness for many years. You can read my story here: https://ieltsliz.com/determination-my-story/ . This year is the first year where my health feels more stable. If my health continues to improve, I might make a couple of videos this year. But it will depend on my health. I’m glad there are people out in the world who still want my lessons 🙂

I only now found your website and just saw this very recent comment from you. I’m so sorry to hear this, but I’m glad that this year brought some health improvement and I wish you that this will continue to go on like that. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Sending you positive vibes and some healing energy.

Thanks. I really appreciate your support

Hello Liz! Greetings from India, I hope you are doing well. Will you once come live on your youtube channel? So that your followers and well-wishers can see you. Thanks in advance mam.

Thanks for your message. It made me smile. I am currently planning a video but it is taking a lot of time because I can only do very small amounts of work each week due to illness. However, if you can be patient a bit longer, I hope to have a video ready in a few weeks or a couple of months.

Hi Liz, so sorry about your health, I hope you are fast recovering. Your lectures have been very helpful

please add more samples of each and type of essays . One sample isn’t enough okay . I will wait for your response

There are plenty of sample essays on the main writing task 2 page – just use the red menu bar at the top of the website to access the different sections of this website.

Hi Liz, I hope you’re doing well. I have a question regarding your e-book, does it provide model answers or only ideas and vocabulary?

The Ideas for Essay Topics is for ideas. It’s about gaining ideas for cover 150 common essay topics so that you don’t waste time trying to think of ideas in the test. The ideas can also be used in speaking part 3. The ideas are presented as vocabulary exercises to help you remember the ideas and learn vocabulary. For model essays, you can find some free ones in the main writing task 2 section of this website.

Hi Liz, Hope you are doing well. Kindly check my response (introduction paragraph) to a discussion essay on the topic:

Some people say that advertising is extremely successful at persuading us to buy things. Other people think that advertising is so common that we no longer pay attention to it. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Response: It is considered by some people that advertisements for various goods persuade the public to purchase them while others believe that advertising does not grab any attention now as it has become a common practice. In my opinion, advertising is a useful tool to make people buy goods but making this a usual activity is not attracting the public much.

Your reply will be appreciated, Thank you.

You have the right techniques and content. The task now is to produce an essay which explains precisely what you mean with each point.

*I tried to improve my previous lengthy version* word count: 284 Whilst it is often believed by many that completing a tertiary education is essential in securing a well-paid job, I strongly believe that a robust job experience and interpersonal skills offer superior potential for success.

On the one hand, academic credentials are necessary for applying high paying jobs. Many employers often mandate university diplomas and degrees as a prerequisite for applying jobs. Therefore, individuals without them are forced to opt for more labour oriented jobs, with lower income and no potential for future advancement. Additionally, the likelihood of poverty rises significantly from the the lack of a steady stream of income. Almost 90% of the blue collar labourers in the US, for example, are either secondary or primary school dropouts. Their monthly average earnings of $2000 is unfortunately insufficient for many to lead a comfortable life.

On the other hand, some contend that work experience and acquired skills are far more beneficial. Instead of going to a university, people who enter into a workforce from a young age have better social skills and problem solving abilities. These workers learn how to handle arguments and criticism from colleagues and customers, which are invaluable skills in running businesses. Furthermore, workplaces allow the employees to learn decision making lessons from seniors to promote self-independence. These contribute to the overall success of an individual in handling various businesses ventures. For instance, many university dropouts like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerbergs have built the wealthiest technological companies of the twenty-first century after working at other companies for decades.

In conclusion, although some might argue that university graduates can apply for more comfortable jobs, in my view, people learn invaluable lessons on managing businesses by solely working for a longer time.

Some people believe that teenagers should be required to do unpaid community work in their free time. This can benefit teenagers and the community as well. To what extent do you agree or disagree? It is an undeniable fact the students are the building blocks of the nation and they should be motivated to do some voluntary tasks which will be fruitful not only for them but also for the society. However, I strongly agree with the given notion and views will be discussed along with the relevant examples in the subsequent paragraphs. To initiate with, there are multifarious reasons that clarify the fcat of how trend can have positive outcomes. First and foremost, youth can teach the value of eductaion to the parents of those children who do not let them study and force them to work. Further, they can teach them free and encourage them to study. For example, people who belong to slum areas mostly drag their offsprings in the labour work like them. Hence, it is apparent how this can bring positive changes. In addition to this, Youngters can easily vanish some problems from the society as they are physically and mentally strong enough. They can be the part of some NGOs which help the needy. They can provide them knowledge of right and wrong so that they can stop doing such things on loop. To cite an example, crimes namely child labour, Female feticide are mostly commited by the uneducated one. So , youth can curb such issues to make their society crime free. On the other hand, there are number of individuals who refute the above mentioned notion and believe that this has many deterimental effects on both scoiety and youth. Firstly, they opine that this can not tell them the value of money and also break their confidence of working in the multinational companies. More so, they can be influenced by the comapny they will be the part of. To exemplify, many NGOs faced major consequences for the sake of changing or helping the society. To conclude, there is no denying fact that every decison of life has both positive or negative outcome. However, I strongly assert that this above mentioned notion has more positive points than its negatives. So, youth must be the part of some social works in their free time.

It is believed by some that university education is essential to acquire a good job whereas other thinks that soft skills and relevant experience in that field adds more value. In my opinion, University degree is necessary for academic jobs such as Teacher or Doctor and soft skill and experience is important for business. On the one hand, tertiary education is required to apply for a job in the field of science, research, education, medicine, administrative services. Without a college degree, one can’t do justice to his role as his work will be highly dependent on the education he has received. If we see the large no of students applying for college degree worldwide, is significant which highlight the role of university degree for success in academic jobs. On the other hand, soft skills and experience is highly in demand for business. For instance, if someone has skills and experience for craft, carpenter, mechanic, electrician etc. he can easily apply for these jobs without having a college degree. Also, people working as salesman or cashier in shops like Walmart, Costco may not need higher degree and experience will be sufficient to get the job. This is justified as college education has not practical implementation in these types of job. In conclusion, Students should aim to complete the college degree and acquire experience which will enable them to get high skilled jobs job very easily, however everyone can’t complete the college for any reason, they can train themselves in soft skills of their choice and gain some experience to apply for less skilled jobs.

Please as a beginning linker for my paragraphs… In place of “on the one hand” can I start the first body paragraph with “to begin with” then the second with “however”. Or can I maintain “on the one hand” for the first paragraph then “however” for the second

Your method of linking will always depend on your main points. One linking device is not a higher band score than another. As long as they are used appropriately, they are all good.

Some people thought that the best way for finding a good job is to have a higher education whereas others thought that the best way is to have experience and soft skills. I believe that completing university education is essential for academic positions while experience and soft skills are good for non academic ones.

Academic jobs need qualified people in terms of higher education. People who complete university education dig deeply in their field, thus, they become know the roots of their field and they can deliver the information in a good way. For instance, when teachers in schools and lecturers in universities apply for a job, they are selected depending on their education. Lecturers are chosen if they have a doctorate degree in addition to some research and teachers who have master’s degrees are more qualified to teaching in schools than those with the bachelor’s degrees. Thus, the competition between applicants in the academic jobs depends on their higher education.

On the other hand, non academic jobs like business, don’t require higher education in their fields. Non academic people tend to have more experience and soft skills related to their field rather than taking a master’s or a doctorate degree. This is due to the nature of their job since it just needs knowledge in the basics and then adding the skills to it. For example, people who study the bachelor’s degree in business can improve themselves by attending conferences and have a training in their field. Such experience is going to help them in finding a good job. As time goes on, they will become experts in their field although they don’t have a higher degree. Thus, non academic positions look for the experience and the soft skills of applicants regardless of their university education.

To conclude, the best way to get a good job depends on the nature of the job. If the job is academic, then higher education is a must to find a suitable job because having higher degrees are reflected when people do their job in an interesting way. While if the job is non academic, then experience and soft skills are more important than higher education because people can learn their jobs while they doing them. In general, having both higher education and experience in your field makes you very qualified person and you can find the best job.

Hello, Liz! Thank you for everythng you ae doing! I have a question regarding the essay! Is it ok to say “in my opinion, I believe…”. Is it not redundancy here? You don’t believe “in your opinion”, do you?

You can use it the way I’ve stated or just use simply “In my opinion” or “I believe that”. You can choose just one definitely.

Hi Liz It is a discussion essay, is it okay to write “in my opinion” in thesis statement of such type of essay where opinion is not required in question? Also is it okay to us “I” and “my” in introduction paragraph? I m confused.

This is a discussion essay which asks for your opinion: Discuss both sides and give your opinion. You should introduce all in the introduction and that means using I or my.

It is considered by some that best way to get a job can be done by completing tertiary education , while there are others who think that it is better to have job experience and improving soft skills plays more important. I consider that having university education and having soft skills both plays very important role in getting job.

On the one hand , having a bachelor degree is the crucial in order to get a job. In other words, most employers only choose the candidates who have a higher education because most jobs are required academic studies which only can be learnt in university and it is impossible to do that job without studying in undergraduate such as : medicine , law , engineering . Furthermore, students learn how to compete with their peers in university which makes them more competitive and deal with harsh conditions. For example, many project has to be done in specific date and students has to complete their homework before the deadline.

On the other hand , working in business require candidates to have some specific skills and experience in order to work rather than just a degree because there are so many candidates who has a university degree apply to position and having necessary experience and soft skills put one steps ahead than others. Another reason is that , nowadays, business model always change and requires employees to have experience or soft skills such as leadership , teamwork which can not be learnt in university. So , having these skills are crucial to get a job. Finally, I believe that having university degree and having experience are both crucial for getting a job . Take for example medicine, law. Employees can not handle the job requirement without having either necessary degree and softs skills . In conclusion, having degree or experience and soft skills are very important to get a job nowadays. I believe employee has to fulfill these requirements before applying to job.

Nowadays landing a dream job is like some achievement in life. For getting a good job it is necessary to have a good experience related to the studies and also soft skills plays a vital role in landing in a good job. Let us discuss this in detail in this essay. Firstly, in today’s competitive world education is the key to success to proceed way forward in our life for getting a good job with decent pay. To achieve an education from the university is not only the key factor but also other factors such as getting a good practical experience while studying and also it is important to develop individual soft skills such as communication, problem-solving, Leadership, and adaptability. Companies are highly in need of people with good technical skills as well as mentioned soft skills so that they can get the job done with good quality. So it is very indeed to develop the soft skills along with university education so the students can tune themselves to land into their dream job. Along with the education, students should have practical knowledge such as applying the theory in labs, and in real life so that creativity and innovation will come up which makes them epic among other students so that chances of getting a job is high when compared to other people. In an organization, it is vital to have good communication and leadership skills to execute the project in a successful manner, and also this will make them successful in their career and to achieve good heights in their job. In a conclusion, I would like to add that both education and practical experience along with soft skills make an individual as successful in their life by getting a good job with a good salary.

Many believe that the key to getting a great job is completing your tertiary education. However, others assume that it is more advantageous to get your hands dirty by doing real jobs that will make them learn real-world challenges, and will also upgrade their skill sets over time. I believe that finishing academics first, will lead grab the desired job.

Most insist that colleges play a paramount role in shaping students’ futures. Every student has dreamt of a job and certainly, some require specialized or specific certifications, it is mandatory to attend universities. For example, Dream jobs like Doctors, Engineers, or Scientists. Moreover, in colleges students will get hands-on experience under the supervision of their tutors.

Conversely, some assume that it is more advantageous to get hands dirty while working and gaining knowledge. Some jobs like marketing do not require any professional degree because in colleges you gain theoretical knowledge rather practical. A recent study shows that majority of successful people in the field of marketing and sales never attended universities. For instance, Apple’s late CEO Steve Jobs never went to college but, still, he brought a whole new dimension in the field of mobiles and laptops.

Consequently, I do agree that certificates or degrees are not the only paths to success, but it is not like everyone is Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, it is just like they were lucky enough to get opportunities which they were able to capitalize. Therefore I believe it is necessary to complete your education rather than directly go to the real world.

In conclusion, it is not like, to be successful a person has to be graduate, Nither not. But I believe that seeing the real-world scenarios, One should first complete their education and then explore jobs.

It is widely believed that having an academic degree is dramatically valuable in setting up a good career path, while some consider experience and soft skills are more significant. In my perspective, I suppose that either knowledge or experience and skills are essential factors which determine whether a potential applicant can be hired for a great job.

On the one hand, taking tertiary education has been the most classical method to prepare for entering the labor market. It can be seen that since the first university was established, there have been numerous students taking part in this academic institution in order to access a huge range of knowledge. Moreover, college life is considered one of the most crucial times in developing one’s characteristics and mindset. The only downside of university, however, is the opportunity costs that force students to waste several chances to get involved in other activities such as making money or traveling.

On the other hand, being well-qualified for the experiences and skills collected is not only remarkable but also puts the applicant one step ahead of others. Furthermore, if these acts, such as volunteering for a charity or learning leadership skills, are certified by a legit organization, it will be a huge step towards the success of getting a job. For example, nowadays, HR professionals from top-ranking companies have preferred the number of working experiences and related skills rather than just focus on the academic performance when filtering the resumes.

Finally, I strongly believe that the requirements of any job not only ask for these qualifications but also depend on the working conditions and the position that we aim for. For instance, a doctor or lawyer must have appropriate levels of knowledge in specific fields while a businessman needs more practical challenges.

In conclusion, preparing for a career is definitely an inevitable mission for everyone. To climb that career ladder, job-seekers should attempt both qualifications including the GPA and certifications for participating in other activities or acquiring any soft skill. Although it may vary in different companies and fields, illustrating an outstanding and comprehensive background can be significantly advantageous in impressing the recruiters.

Some of the people believe that University educations plays an essential role for attaining a good job, whereas others anticipate that soft skills and experience are they key factors for find a Job. In my opinion, education and experience together makes a person successful for earning perspective. It is considered by many people to University degree helps them to find work easily. In other words, the competition for enrolling students in institution each year illustrates that university degree helps one to get an easy Job such as doctors, engineers and lawyers. Therefore, many people first part to consider their higher studies after their High school according their desire and Job market. On the other hand, many people had a mind set to make their child in soft skills or get them engage in low Jobs in order to achieve experience. They believe that experience will make them familiar with Market strategy and soft skills will raise their demand in the Job opportunity. In addition, various industries the experiences are listed as mandate requirement for recruitment such as business & sales job offers. However, few cases are due to their financial conditions which opt the education and select job for their family survival. In my opinion, the leading indicators to be successful in earnings one shall possess higher education studies as well experiences. Although, the initial days will be on less wages but with passage of time they will be considered as pioneer of relevant field. For example, the doctor as expert surgeon when he posses hands of experience. To sum up all, it is mandatory one shall achieve higher education and get some experience in order to develop the required skills for performing. For a successful future, it is combination of both necessities University degree and relevant experiences.

It is considred by some that the best approach to obtain a decent job is through completion of university education, while there are others who thick that achieving the required experience and building up soft skills is more essential. This essay will briefly discuss both views and will draw my personal opinion.

On the one hand, many think that completing graduate and post-graduate studies will help them to obtain the most needed jobs. In their opinion, getting bachelor degree and even master degree will enable them to work in a more professional and academic jobs. In other words, without these degrees, it will be impossible for to be hired professional positions since nowadays there is a high competition to acquire these positions. For example, many jobs require completion of graduate studies including law, medicine, engineering and sciences.

On the other hand, many believe that it is more crucial to develop and enhance the person’s soft skills in addition to build up a good work experience. These people after graduation from high school will start immediately looking for jobs in order to accelerate their work experience and to acquire soft skills such as cummunications, interpersonal and leaderships skills. Moreover, they can work in different fields and expand their knowledge in many areas to meet certain jobs requirements such as multi field consultations, employment supervisions and management.

In conclusion, after a carefull analysis of both sides, the choice whether to continue college studies or to achieve experiences and soft skills is dependent on the person’s targeted job. In my opinion, continuation of graduate studies is necessary and it will open more opportunities in the future.

Some people believe that a university degree is the most effective way to attain a decent job. In contrast, other people argue that work fields need more experience and soft skills than educational background. In my perspective, university graduates fit the academic career whereas soft skills are more needed in technical jobs. University is the best place for people to develop their way of thinking. In college, students are taught to think scientifically. In order to attain this skill, students need to complete their studies by completing various tasks, such as daily assignments, group work, and final papers. Most of the subjects that are taught in university are theoretical. As a final result, university graduates are expected to not only mastering a particular knowledge but also a critical way of thinking. That is why university education is suitable for those who seek careers that require strong academic backgrounds, such as doctor, lawyer, judge, and teacher. On the other hand, some professions require experience and soft skills more rather than merely an educational background. Experience is needed especially in the work fields that produce utilized products such as business, manufacture, and software industry. In these industries, the works need people who technically master how to produce the product. Therefore, experienced ones with soft skills are more needed in this field. I believe that both educational background and experience with soft skills matter in terms of building our careers. Educational background can build our mindset to be critical and creative. On the other hand, experience and soft skills can support our hard skills to make ourselves more qualified. The thing that we should consider is which one we should emphasize more, which depends on the career path we wish to pursue. In summary, we should decide first what career we would like to seek, therefore we can decide what kind of educational background and other qualifications requirement we should attain.

Your website is very helpful in preparing for the IELTS writing section, and I really appreciate it. also, there is confusion, that it was told to me by my IELTS trainer and in few youtube videos that whenever we give an example to support the essay we shouldn’t be writing “for example” but here you’ve used that form so is it okay to do so because that’s how I prefer to write.

Of course it’s fine to use “For example”. It is 100% appropriate and suitable for essay writing. However, a good score for Coherence and Cohesion requires that you show flexibility and range – this means don’t repeat the same linking words unless there is no choice. There are many such linking words you can use as a paraphrase: such as, for instance, namely and so on. One linking word is not a higher score that the other. They are all suitable. Here is a link of linking words: https://ieltsliz.com/linking-words-for-writing/ and a link to my main writing task 2 page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-2/

Some people consider having university degrees as the key to employment whereas others think building and developing soft skills and experience is an effective way to get a job. In my opinion, having both degree certificates and relevant skills is essential for getting the targeted position due to the growing competition. On the one hand, Most people strive for earning university credentials to get hired to the workplace of their choice. They consider so because some jobs typically require candidates to have qualifications related to the job position as employers may consider this as an essential tool to gauge applicant’s knowledge about their areas of work. Job postings, for example, doctors, teachers, professors, engineers, etc. require a certain level of knowledge about the concerned field which can only be reflected from the qualification of the job applicant. On the other hand, some people start working for building soft skills and experience rather than joining colleges and universities to crack their target job. Employers of some areas such as business, technical, IT basically look for candidates having relevant experience and soft skills rather than degree certificates for the post they want to hire ensuring low cost of hiring and quick adaptation of the new employees to their workplace. Thus, in response to such hiring trends, candidates get to indulge in training for soft skills development to reserve their position in a job market from their early stage of learning. However, both graduate degree certificates and essential skills are important factors in the competitive job market. Due to the growing number of university graduates and limited job positions, employers nowadays look for the best candidate who can competitively give a good return to the company after getting hired. For this reason, people work for earning both qualifications and skills to assure their future career. To give an example, the employer is more interested to hire a university graduate scholar with the computer, analytical, and organizing skills than the one having either of them. To recapitulate, both qualification and experience are equally crucial in getting a job depending upon the nature of the job people are looking for. Thus candidates should make sure about the emphasizing factor of getting hired before applying for employment. However, Earning both university degrees and relevant soft skills and experience is the best method to secure the demanded job position.

Your website is very helpful and I love all the lessons you provide. I have a question. In a discussion essay where do we need to keep the sequence in which the opinion is presented in the question. E.g. If I agree with the second opinion should my first body paragraph have the second opinion (and I restate that I agree with it) or should I follow the sequence as the question.

Also, can I use “you” in my essay e.g. “On the one hand, some people think that if a friend differs from some of your actions, he acts as a deterrent to the deeds that might turn out bad and I agree with that”

Is it correct?

The body paragraphs present the two sides in the order that you have written them in your introduction. Keep a logical order at all times so that the reader knows what is coming next. The pronoun “you” is rarely used because we mainly refer to the third person in formal essays. Your example is not written in a way that I can understand. Unfortunately, the meaning is not clear and I can’t help you with it. If you post a clear example, I’ll be able to help.

Please expert in the house help me vet this

Nowadays, people who move from one country to another for work. Some people think children of these families suffer because of this, while others think it is helpful to them.

Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It is recently believed by certain individuals that children whose families travel across the globe due to their nature of job suffer a lot while others think these children enjoy the benefits. In my opinion, such happening has both negative and positive impacts on them, however, it depends on whether the parents travel with their kids or not.

On the one hand, children whose parents move around nation to nation leaving them behind due to their job may be led into waywardness. In other words, the absence of proper guidance would result them into committing crimes and behaviors that are nonchalant. Consequently, they may get into troubles that would affect their entire lives such as being jailed or rusticated from school. Another point is that such kids would lack companionship because the primary people to display love to them are absent. For instance, a female child who is raped would want to discuss the matter with her mother but if she is unavailable, the kid would return to her shell and fight it alone. Thus, resulting to depression and suicidal because of absence of love and care.

On the other hand, exploring other traditions and cultures can also be beneficial to kids that travel with their families. This means that, they would have wide knowledge of what the cultural beliefs are in the other countries which will help them to network globally when they become adults. For example, kids expose to other traditions and beliefs does not usually experience cultural shock and therefore would be able to represent their nation at any point. Another plus side is that it will keep the family bond solid which means that children will not be far from their parents and other siblings.

Finally, in my opinion, whether children are affected negatively or positively when their families travel around the world depends on if they embark on the journey together. Take for example, kids that are around their families every time will not engage in actions that can affect their lives because they would be cautioned. In contrast, those that are far from their relatives can be easily controlled by peer pressure.

In conclusion, the plus side and downsides depend solely on families embarking on these journeys with their children.

Liz, I simply love your site. Thank you so much!

You’re welcome 🙂

Hello thank so much now I am using your books and they really help me😊✌️

Hello Liz, you mentioned before that one shouldn’t be impartial in an opinion essay and that you should agree or disagree but not something in between. i am sensing that this isn’t the case here in the model essay. it simply didn’t take one side.

if you feel it did, would it be possible that you give an example to a “wrong impartial” opinion to this essay topic? Thank you

I think you are confusing the term “impartial”. Being impartial means you are sitting on the fence. This means you are turning an opinion essay into a discussion essay with no clear opinion of what you really think – it’s just 50/50. An opinion essay requires a clear opinion or you will get a low score. This might be a one-sided opinion or it might be a partial agreement/disagreement or a specific opinion. Please see my advanced lessons to learn about this. It is available to purchase in my online store: https://elizabethferguson.podia.com/ . It takes me 1 hour to explain this essay in full in that advanced lesson.

Dear Liz, I found your site by chance and it is amazing. Coud you look at my discussion essay and give ypur opinion please? Many thanks in advance!!!!!!!!

It is considered by some people that traditional shopping is the only way for making purchasing properly while there are others who prefer online shopping. In my opinion, it depends on many factors and premises. On the one hand, online shopping is more effortless. With just a click of a mouse or a tap on a screen, people can buy within seconds. Online shopping has become popular due to its convenience, accessibility and speed. With the continued success of e-commerce, many now question the existence of traditional stores. It is so great that you can shop anytime and anywhere. For example, you can easily visit the website, find the product you want to buy and wait for the product being delivered to you. If you need time to reconsider about the products, all you have to do is put the product in the virtual shopping bag or on the virtual wish list. On the other hand, only traditional shopping allows to touch, try and “smell” your purchase and understand whether you need this one or may be it is just an impulse. Besides, only real shopping gives the possibility to assess the quality and features of goods, while online shopping can be misleading in respect of authenticity of products to reality. One more problem of online shopping is the safety of online payments, which also might be an advantage in favor if traditional shopping since the payments are being controlled. In conclusion, both kinds of shopping have merits and shortages. The benefits of both shopping online and shopping in real stores are countless. However, it is true that sometimes merits could become shortages and vice versa, depending on the different perspectives that people hold.

Some people think doing the university education is the best way to get a good jobs. However, some other people believes that experience and improving the soft skill is more important than education for getting a better job. in today’s labor market both are important, in my opinion education is playing more important role at first to get the better job and carrier development. Education is an ability how to find jobs, learn to earn, as much you learn that much you earn, what a democracy, human can learn as much he or she wish to, this new technology make is very easy to access to the books, journal and all the social media, education is a great advantage teach you how to work, clarifies your favorite carrier path, it guide you how to grow and further develop your future and enjoy your favorite field of interest and so no….. Education and the experience is an interchangeable, whiles experience is to develop future what you have learn in the university, wider your understanding of knowledge, and deep dive on your carrier field, researches, inventions an innovations and so no, to grow to the highest level of the economy and knowledge in the world, in addition soft skill is import as others, but education is the first priority, gives you an opportunity make to you understand well the skills and knowledge. In conclusion, both educations and the experience is an opportunity to find the best job. without proper education cannot find the best jobs and without experience cannot grow and wider the knowledge. however, if we look to the history we have some scholars the touched the ceiling without school educations, now we study their principles in the schools, thy were hard worker and talents.

Thanks for the good work Liz, we are praying for you to get get back to your feet asap.

Ahead of the game sounds like an idiom, isn’t it?

Yes, “ahead of the game” in an idiom. Some idioms are suitable for writing task 2, but only a few. The idiomatic language that is safe to aim for are phrasal verbs that are clearly not informal.

Question: In some countries owning a home rather than renting one is very important for people. Why might that be the case? DO you think this is a positive or negative situation?

Answer: Buying your own apartment now becomes more familiar in certain countries than renting an apartment. However, I assume that this trend has positive aspects and it also has several benefits.

One of the lucrative benefits is that people would become owners of permanent accommodation by buying a home. Besides, it can be possible to get huge facilities for instance saving money. People have to pay relatively less money when they will have their own apartment. In addition, it is easy to furnish them according to their own ways as well as their own apartment is secure rather than renting. Because you will have no worries about moving to another renting house when you have your own apartment.

Another issue is there are several countries such as in Finland renting a house is much more costly. Every month people have to pay 800-900 euros per month if they want to rent a private family apartment. I think this is too much to afford. On the other hand, if I have my own apartment, at the same time I can save the rest of the money. In this case owning a home is much better and flexible than renting.

Finally, I would say owning an apartment has other benefits. For example, people can get a spacious living room with a beautiful veranda which provides huge daylight. Moreover, most of the private apartments have 2 bedrooms where rooms are larger than rented houses. It is possible to set up any furniture in the way that people want. Living in an apartment is much more relaxing, comfortable and cosy.

In conclusion, although people have different views about this issue, my opinion supports the positive side of owning an apartment rather than renting.

Governments give a lot of support to artists, even though some people think it is a waste of money that could have been used elsewhere.Discuss both views and give your opinion? An artist receives too much assistance from local government while some argued that money should be utilized on other neccessary matters rather than wasting on artists . I agree with this statement that government should take notice of important tasks on priority basis for a developed nation . On the one side , artists performs national representation at international level for earning name and fame in field through competition .As we know that not a single task is easy to master whether it is a game or dance, all this demands enthusiasm and dedication towards goal which is impossible for everyone to achieve . Therefore, this is not a big deal if a government is sending funds or prizes to artist because without money capability is nothing in today’s world . On the other side, for a developing nation such as India , discoveries in each and every field has been essential for the growth of a nation .Government should assist scientists for inventing treatment for death causing diseases such as cancer and free of cost treatment for every citizen so that nobody can die because of lack of money.In addition , free education to poor children must be provided so that they could stand on their feet one day . In conclusion, although artists represents a nation but fulfilling basic amenities of citizens in relation of food , education and health has been prioritized by the governments. Please review my essay mam

If the essay requirement says we need to discuss both sides and give our opinions (like this model essay), can I say that I prefer one option over another? Because in this model essay, the author suggests that both opinions are good and there is no preference. I’m just wondering if we would be marked on this.

Thank you so much

When you give your own opinion, you can choose any opinion you want – either one sided or balanced (partial/specific agreement) approach.

Hi Liz, I have been posting many essays to get your feedback …Can you please give me your feedback. thanks a lot. 🙂

To being with, many people think that the university education is important to get a decent job. Firstly, at universities, students learn and graduate in a desired specialization which is important to land up in a good job in that area. For example, if someone graduates as Chartered Accountant from a University, then they can get a good job in the Financial sector. Secondly, proponents of this theory believe that academics are important to carry out certain types of jobs which on the other hand cannot be done alone with gaining experience. For instance, doctors cannot perform surgeries without learning basic anatomy of the body which they learn though academics at Universities. Also, many universities offer internships programs in various companies which help the students to gain extra practical knowledge. This improves their chances to get a good job once they get graduated.

On the other hand, others believe that jobs can be a carried out by acquiring experience and soft skills. However, this holds applicable and true in certain types of jobs only. For example, jobs like housekeeping and driving, only relevant experience and some soft skills are required. Also, they believe that more experience they gain, more efficiently they can carry out their jobs and in-turn they can be more productive.

Hence, in conclusion, I believe that University education provides theoretical knowledge as well as hands-on practice through internships which tents to get a better job. I also agree that gaining experience and soft skills are equally important for getting a job in certain professions.

Hi liz, My question is, can we write information that is completely made up to support our ideas? For example, “A recent study done by University of Melbourne shows that men who eat at least 10 grams chocolate a day can run faster than those who do not eat it.”

Why would you choose to do that? It won’t help your score. You never need to state the source of information and you don’t need to present numbers in your task 2 essay. Just explain your idea in your own language.

Dear mam, In opinion essay , when we give separate opinion on one side . Can we go both side in conclusion or should we have the same position in conclusion and opinion ? I am totally confuse in it. Please guide me. Thank you.

Please get my Advanced Lessons which will give you all your answers and lots of details: https://elizabethferguson.podia.com/

Also, I tend to have occasional long sentences, is it ok to use a semi-colon? Or do we just stick to comma and full stop for this test?

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Just stick to commas and full stops. To add information using clauses which are considered complex grammar features.

Thank you for the amazing model answers you provide, your website is really helpful! I finished watching your advanced video on the discussion essays and I have a question regarding writing them, since I want to follow your structure.

If I agree with one side of the argument, I understand from your video that I should state my opinion in the introduction, right? Because a teacher told me that I shouldn’t write my opinion in the introduction (even if the question says give your opinion) but should instead explain it throughout the BP of the essays and the conclusion. So I want to make sure, it is okay if I paraphrase the question (people’s arguments) in a statement then express my opinion in the next statement “In my opinion, I believe that….” and agree with either side?

Also coming to the BPs, I was told by that teacher that if I explain reasons for people’s arguments in BP1 and BP2 (even though I added “I agree” in the BP that I agree with) it will affect my CC and TR. They said that I should explain that I do not agree with one BP and giving reasons for the opinion of people that I don’t agree with would mess up my TR & CC. Is this true? In your video, you explained that it’s okay to explain reasons for both sides then simply add I agree in the BP you agree with. So I’m a little lost here, I wish you can tell me what is right in this point.

Thanks in advance. I really appreciate all your efforts.

Has your teacher completed the IELTS examiner training course? Possibly not. It is 100% fine to put your opinion in the introduction – you are introducing your opinion. It is also 100% ok to state you agree with whichever body paragraph you agree with – in that paragraph you will state that you and other people agree (or disagree) and then give reasons. You only need a separate body paragraph when your opinion does not agree fully with either side (a specific opinion/partial agreement). Is your teacher telling you IELTS rules? No. Your teacher is giving you advice based on their own opinion of IELTS. Always differentiate between rules and advice when it comes to IELTS. Always ask your teacher if they are giving you fixed rules for IELTS or just their own personal advice. There is a lot of conflicting information about IELTS because of exactly that problem.

Hi Liz thank you for your imformative website. I ‘ve got a question. Is the hook and general statement the same? Thank you

In the following link you will find a video lesson about writing an introduction. That lesson will explain about the hook and background statement: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-2/

Hi Liz, I had Ielts computer based based exam today, in the writing 2 task I had written nearly about 270 words, but in conclusion part when I was writing my last sentences, time is up and the computer shuted down. I could not finish my last senteces and there was some unsense words. Is it a huge problem or not? Also, thank you sharing your information with us.

The most important thing is that you wrote a conclusion, even if you didn’t finish it. Having a conclusion is crucial. An incomplete conclusion will not affect things as much as an absent conclusion. Don’t worry too much about it.

I am planning to start this essay with “Few people believe that…..” can we paraphrase “some” with “few”

The meaning of “few” is “not many”. It means a small number. “Few people” = a small number of people. This is not the same as “some”.

thank you liz

Hi Liz, Many thanks to you for the service!

My question is, if I start with one tense form, should I follow the same tense throughout the essay? Or can I use different tenses in the essay?

Thanks in advance!

It isn’t possible to use one tense all the way through. You might need to use a perfect tense or a passive or a conditional statement. The tense will depend on what you want to say. It isn’t something you can decide beforehand. See my model essays and review how many different tenses are used: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-2/

For Discussion Essays: Some books like IELTS Preparation & Practice, Reading & Writing Academic published by Oxfird suggest writing a 4 paragraph essay: intro+ first group+second group+conclusion(which restates the writes opinion). However you suggest a separate paragraph for the writer’s opinion(4th body paragraph). Does that mean that their style is wrong or could lead to a lower score?

It means that there are other options. There is no rule stating you must have 4 paragraphs in total. It is fine to have 5. You can get band 9 with either 4 or 5.

Hello liz, i have read in many books that the opinion discussive essay, the opinion is only given in the conclusion unlike the opinion personal view point( the agree or disagree type). The books write, this essay will discuss both sides and give a concluding view and rather give the opinion in the conclusion. Can you please clarify that for me, thank you

Unfortunately, I am not able to control what is written in other books. The instructions from IELTS do NOT state to “discuss both sides and conclude your opinion”.

Hullo Liz, Firstly I would like to thank you to help all of us selflessly…thanx to u. Today I gave my ielts in essay it was a discussion essay wherein I wrote my opinion in introduction as u say then main body paras Discussing both the sides but then I gave the conclusion n did not elaborate on my opinion… Will I lose marks? Plz tell…really worried. Thanx

I don’t understand. You said you gave your opinion in the introduction, body paragraphs and conclusion. At what point do you feel that you didn’t explain it?

Everybody told me that examples are not cardinal for essay but in some great ielts experts point of view like you mam and jay sir shows examples are vital. Through this students get more brand. Mam help me to solve my query.

Please mam help me my ielts exam on 17 August .

Please mam🙁🙁

I have never said examples are vital or 100% essential to an IELTS essay. I’m not sure what you are referring to. Examples are one way to support and illustrate a main point – you choose whether to illustrate that way or not. I suggest you review my model essays.

Hi Liz, From my observation of the given example, I understood that , in the conclusion especially for discussion essays, we have to give a brief of our view on the topic and we should not include anything from the other paragraphs. Is my understanding correct?

Your reply here would be much appreciated.

There is no such rule in IELTS. Your conclusion is a summary of the main points.

in the salad days of millenium, the society polarised into two groups. first, some people have a say that passing from University provide best to way to grab a good profession while other opinion that it is a bad to acquire proficiency and soft skills the following paragraphs would shed the light on both the approaches before making notes To commence with the first notion, there are Myriad things to be shared in its favour, first and foremost, it is undeniable education is essential part of one’s life. the majority of individuals believe that getting a degree from University Open the doors of word class opportunities and student can obtain a fine occupation for their future. In the other words, tertiary education help the students to understand the various concept which is related to their career which they have chosen by them. with the help of education they enhence their creativity on particular subject which is significant for future work opportunities

shifting towards the second school of thought, having experience of work and soft skills such as communication skills leadership skills and other interpersonal skills act as a boon for people to access a great livelihood. if individuals have a great proficiency in their skill which helps in getting a job as we all know more than half of companies prefer those employees who have a great experience in their work instead of University credentials. for instance if someone want to get a job in insurance company then they must be have a good communication skills for this job

Sorry, I don’t offer marking or comments on writing. However, I will say avoid learning phrases that you think will impress the examiner such as “in the salad days of millenium, the society polarised into two groups”. Such phrases damage your score. This is not creative writing. In a test, each sentence must be created by you in the test room. Also don’t use hook, it isn’t needed for IELTS essays and is a complete waste of time. Go to the main section for writing task 2 on this site and learn how to write an introduction for IELTS = click on the RED BAR at the top of the site. Or get my paid Advanced Lessons to learn more.

Hi Liz, Thank you so very much for your helpful blogs. I am following only you for my IELTS GT preparation. I have one doubt, I am aiming to score 7.5 or 8 band in writing. Is it fine if I write approx 300 words of essay? Definitely related to demand of question. I always try to write around 270-280 words but I feel that there is still something missing which I should add on to make it more accurate. Kindly suggest.

If you are adding words to your introduction or conclusion, it won’t help your score. If you are adding more to your body paragraphs, think carefully if it is actually 100% vital. More words open you to the possibility of more errors or a less focused essay.

It is considered by some people that finishing university education is the most effective way to get a decent job, however, have experience and developing soft skills are the keys for finding good jobs still thought by many people. In my opinion, although experience and developing soft skills are important for finding good jobs, I believe the completing university courses can improve the person’s knowledge and other skills in a very effective way as well as the best way for people to prepare their careers.

Attending the university courses can let people gain knowledge effectively, most universities offer high-quality courses both online and offline, students can achieve professional theory knowledge from different aspects through interaction with their professors, once they have questions they can get feedback and answers quickly. On the other hand, universities offer many practical classes which allow students gain experience, students also have plenty opportunities to discuss in their groups and cooperate with other students from other majors which also cultivate their social skills. Both knowledge and practical skills, as well as social skills, are very essential for finding a good job.

There is no doubt that work experience and developing soft skills or social skills are vital for finding jobs, the companies are more likely to employ the person who has job experience which people usually can find on job recruitments’ qualifications. When people find a job, he/she should be a good work player who is not only professional about her/his area but also should know how to communicate with others as well as cooperate with others. A report says that persons who have strong communication skills are much more welcomed in a work environment.

In conclusion, although both experience and developing soft skills are vital factors for finding jobs, I still believe that attending the universities is the best way for people who prepare their careers because people can gain experience and social skills in the campus as well.

hello ! thanks for your tips . And i have a question , is it okay to write ” in this following essay i will shed light on both views and state my own position” in last sentence ?

Never memorise a sentence to put in your essay. Each sentence should be entirely created by yourself in the test. If the instructions say “discuss both sides and give your opinion”, you do not need to repeat those instructions. The examiner knows what you are going to do – what the examiner doesn’t know is what ideas you will use. Use my model essays to guide you or get my Advanced lessons to learn in depth.

I just watched your advanced task 2 lesson and have couple questions on it. For the discussion essay, the balanced opinion seems more profound than one-sided opinion. Will I get lower band score if I choose to write one-sided opinion? Or will I get higher band if I choose to write balanced opinion. And can I choose one-sided opinion in any topics?

Thank you! 🙂

The balanced opinion essay means the discussion essay with specific opinion. Sorry for that. 🙂

I taught both options so that you would have a choice. The choice will depend on the question and the ideas you have for it. Sometimes a one-sided approach isn’t always the easiest option. No, you don’t get a higher or lower score for one or the other. Your score is not based on your choice of one-sided or specific view point. It is based on how relevant your ideas are and if you addressed the task with a clear opinion.

Thank you very much Liz!!!!:)

I am writing to seek your help with double views and opinion statement essay type.

Here is the question prompt I am practicing: Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things that we rarely do not need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives. Which viewpoint do you agree with?

Here is the introductory paragraph I have written with my opinion: Aggressive product promotions are considered to be one of the efficient ways of attracting new customers. While some people believe that advertisements allures the buyers and instigates them to purchase the unnecessary items, the others consider it to be an effective method of promoting awareness about the latest trends – I second this thought.

Please guide, is it write way of supporting an argument in a formal way? If not, please suggest how can I improve.

Thanks Jasmeet Kaur

Paraphrase the statement given and then present your opinion. Two separate statements. Try writing that and post it. See this page if you don’t understand: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-2-how-to-write-an-introduction/

I’m struggling to reach a higher bandscore than 6.0 in writing. Therefore I bought your advanced writing lessons to spot some of my possible mistakes. Beside the fact that I have problems to structure my thoughts quickly, I’m sometimes confused by the question itself. After watching your lessons, I have tried to answer some essay questions and I came across with some I don’t know how I should organise them.

Firstly, for example, the discussion essay about the death penalty on your website. This question only mentions that I have to discuss both side. So, I’m not sure if I have to write a balanced view or can I also write a one-sided view? Moreover, I think I should not give my opinion, however, a one-sided view seems to reflect my personal point of view. How would you organise your essay?

Secondly, I’m really confused with the question “Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?” You said, it doesen’t matter whether there is a “do you think” include or not, because I have to make a choice which side outweigh the other…admittedly there are many official Model answer from IELTS books, which don’t give an opinion in terms of this question. Are there any differents I didn’t recognise?

I would be really grateful if you could help me.

Kind regards, Wiebke

In my Advanced lesson for the Discussion Essay there is a model essay for a Discussion without an opinion. Please take a look at it. Any question that is asking you to choose options will require an opinion – there are many ways to voice an opinion.

Dear Liz. Your advanced lessons are so helpful and clear.

Unfortunately I can’t say the same regarding the Official Cambridge Guide to IELTS which contains 8 full practice tests with sample answers for writing. I have to say that the sample answers for task 1 are very good but the ones for task 2 are so confusing. For instance, a discussion essay was turned into advantage disadvantage one.. the opinion is not mentioned in the introduction or in the BP, it is given in the conclusion… I wish I can send you a picture of it so you can mark it.

Another issue that confuses me; can we use questions in the essay? In one example of adv. Outweigh Disadv. they ended up the introduction with a question: is this a development we should welcome? The opinion is also put in the conclusion only… Thanks in advance

IT is not the task of IELTS to make their test easy. That is the task of teachers and ex-examiners. We provide the easy to follow models, not IELTS. About your second query, you should present supporting points which are statements, not questions. There isn’t enough length in the essay to start creating questions which will then need addressing further. Just stick with statements.

Hi liz In the introduction can I write “in this essay I will deliberately discuss the both views and formulate my opinion at the end of the essay ” instead answering directly in the introduction

Do not memorise sentences or phrases. You can learn words and linking devices. All sentences and phrases should be created by yourself. See my model essays.

then what do you recommend? and how do they examine grammar?

Grammar is marked by using a range of tenses that are suitable and appropriate to the essay and the subject. You can’t push a future prefect into your essay because you think it will give you a higher score. All tenses must be used correctly. The examiner will also pay attention to sentence structures, so you need to pay attention to not being too repetitive. Furthermore, the examiner will look at the density of grammar errors, for example band 5 = frequent errors, band 6 = some errors, band 7 = few errors. So, you can see your aim is to produce a range of suitable grammar and also reduce the errors you make. At all times, you only use the grammar you are familiar with to reduce errors. I am currently putting together a grammar e-book which will explain all this in great detail.

How can I buy your grammar book?

It won’t be available to buy for a few months. It is 90% complete, but it will take me a few months to edit it and get it ready for people to buy.

Hi Liz, thank you a lot for your useful advice and if it is possible, please give feedback, this is my first essay.

Instruction is simply to discuss not to give opinion.

In last decades, with the impact of growing globalization, it is noticed significant positive affects in the economy of the world, whereas this globe challenges brings some negative aspects with itself. Regarding the advantages of the globalization, a number of leading companies of the world gain more profits, while some affected countries are forced to lose their cultural values.

On the one hand, there is a competition between huge international companies over the world. They compete to produce products in better quality and lower prices. As a result, this overseas rivalry helps to boost world economy, at the same time, people all over the world take advantages in connection with buying more qualitative and less expenses products. For instance, it is obviously seems that the products which are manufactured by Samsung, Apple, Huawei and some other main companies have wide functions and simultaneously they are sold in lower prices.

On the other hand, there are some affected countries that people who live in these countries are obliged to get used to customs and traditions of the hegemon countries. In this manner, impacted society uses international languages, listens to singers who are famous all over the world and eats meals which are popular overseas and so on. To illustrate, McDonalds, KFC, Mado serve to people in more than half of the world countries, Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Rihanna are listened by at least one of three people and English, German, Russian languages have been more important than their native languages.

In conclusion, the monosemous acceptance of globalization is not proper approach. When this term is talked over, both sides should be taken into account.

Mam, why your advanced writing task 2 lessons have only 1) opinion, 2) discussion and 3) adv/disadvantages type essays lessons? What about a) problems/solutions, b) two-part (direct question) and c) positive/negative development type essays? Kindly reply, because I want to learn structure of each type of IELTS (GT) essay. Thank you.

Because I became too sick to make more videos.

First of all, thank you for your prompt reply, Hope you are doing well now. I will pray for your health and speedy recovery. Can I expect video lessons on those missing type essays in near future? Or do you think it is sufficient enough to just go through your sample essays on those type of essays to get an idea of written structure?

The three Advanced lessons available teach you enough skills to be able to apply the same logical. However, you will need to review model essays and other tips. Did you see my free writing task 2 lessons? See this page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-2/ . Yesterday I put up a lesson about a mixed task essay with tips: https://ieltsliz.com/model-essay-for-tv-weight-problems/ . Just take a look around my site. It is unlikely I will make a new video soon. I’m still too sick for videos. But I post regular lessons on my site and am working on e-books “Ideas for IELTS Essays” and “Grammar for Writing Task 2”.

Yes, I already read the tips mentioned in the first link and just went through the second link now, both were so helpful. You are an indeed a blessing for students who are struggling with their IELTS score. Thank you for your help and tips. I am desperately waiting for your e-books. Best wishes and prayers for your health.

Thanks. I do plan to get back to making videos, but not until my health is completely recovered which might take a long time. As soon as I can, I’ll be making Advanced lessons for every single part of the IELTS test.

Hopefully you’ll be able to make more videos for your students very soon. Lot of respect and prayers for you mam. One of your students from other part of the world 🙂

Pleaaaase shed some light on the following: in the introduction of Task 2, what is the best waybto phrase that the X will be discussed in the essay. Do you say ‘This essay will discuss/This essay disagrees” or do you make use of pronouns such as ‘I’ “I agree that/ I will discuss X” . So confused as someone (online tutors) would say one thing, someone something different again. So now I don’t know which would be acceptable by an IELTS examiner.

You don’t need to use it at all. It is not required for IELTS. As you see, none of my model essays use that kind of sentence.

Discussion essays Considering both sides of the argument

Discussion essays are a common form of academic writing. This page gives information on what a discussion essay is and how to structure this type of essay. Some vocabulary for discussion essays is also given, and there is an example discussion essay on the topic of studying overseas.

What are discussion essays?

Many essay titles require you to examine both sides of a situation and to conclude by saying which side you favour. These are known as discussion or for and against essays. In this sense, the academic meaning of the word discuss is similar to its everyday meaning, of two people talking about a topic from different sides. For a discussion essay, a balanced view is normally essential. This makes discussion essays distinct from persuasion essays , for which only one side of the argument is given. When writing a discussion essay, it is important to ensure that facts and opinions are clearly separated. Often you will examine what other people have already said on the same subject and include this information using paraphrasing and summarising skills, as well as correct citations .

The following are examples of discussion essay topics.

Examine the arguments for and against capital punishment.
Schools should teach children not only academic subjects but also important life skills. Discuss.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of technology in the classroom?

Although the structure of a discussion essay may vary according to length and subject, there are several components which most discussion essays have in common. In addition to general statements and thesis statement which all good essay introductions contain, the position of the writer will often be stated, along with relevant definitions . The main body will examine arguments for (in one or more paragraphs) and arguments against (also in one or more paragraphs). The conclusion will contain a summary of the main points, and will often conclude with recommendations , based on what you think are the most important ideas in the essay. The conclusion may also contain your opinion on the topic, also based on the preceding evidence.

An overview of this structure is given in the diagram below.

Discussion vocabulary

When summarising the stages in a discussion or in presenting your arguments, it can be useful to mark the order of the items or degrees of importance. The following words and phrases can be used.

First..., First of all..., The most important...
Second..., In the second place...
Finally..., Lastly...

The following can be used when introducing your opinion.

There is no doubt that...
I believe that...
One of the main arguments in favour of/against X is that...

It is important in English writing, including academic writing, to use synonyms rather than repeating the same word. The following are useful synonyms for 'advantage' and 'disadvantage'.

advantage: benefit, a positive aspect/feature, pro (informal)
disadvantage: drawback, a negative aspect/feature, con (informal)

Example essay

Below is an example discussion essay. Click on the different areas (in the shaded boxes to the right) to highlight the different structural aspects in this essay.

Title: An increasing number of students are going overseas for tertiary education. To what extent does this overseas study benefit the students?

Most people spend around fifteen years of their life in education, from primary school to university study. In the past, students only had the opportunity to study in their own country. Nowadays, however, it is increasingly easy to study overseas, especially at tertiary level. Tertiary education, also called post-secondary education, is the period of study spent at university. As the final aspect of schooling before a person begins their working life, it is arguably the most important stage of their education. While there are some undoubted benefits of this trend, such as the language environment and improved employment prospects , there is also a significant disadvantage, namely the high cost . The first and most important advantage of overseas study is the language learning environment. Students studying overseas will not only have to cope with the local language for their study, but will also have to use it outside the classroom for their everyday life. These factors should make it relatively easy for such students to advance their language abilities. Another important benefit is employability. Increasing globalisation means that there are more multinational companies setting up offices in all major countries. These companies will need employees who have a variety of skills, including the fluency in more than one language. Students who have studied abroad should find it much easier to obtain a job in this kind of company. There are, however, some disadvantages to overseas study which must be considered, the most notable of which is the expense. In addition to the cost of travel, which in itself is not inconsiderable, overseas students are required to pay tuition fees which are usually much higher than those of local students. Added to this is the cost of living, which is often much higher than in the students' own country. Although scholarships may be available for overseas students, there are usually very few of these, most of which will only cover a fraction of the cost. Overseas study therefore constitutes a considerable expense. In summary, studying abroad has some clear advantages, including the language environment and increased chances of employment , in addition to the main drawback, the heavy financial burden . I believe that this experience is worthwhile for those students whose families can readily afford the expense. Students without such strong financial support should consider carefully whether the high cost outweighs the benefits to be gained.

Academic IELTS Writing: 7 yoki undan yuqori ball olish sirlari

48331 marta

CHOP ETILGAN

Writing IELTS testining eng qiziqarli va ko’pchilik test topshiruvchilarning fikriga ko’ra eng qiyin qismi hisobanadi. Writingdan 6 va 6.5 ballgacha ancha tez ko’tarilib kelgan test topshiruvchilarga boshida hammasi oddiy tuyilsa-da, aynan 6.5 dan 7 ga sakrab o’tishga kelganda ko’pchilik muammoga duch keladi. Buning eng katta sabablaridan biri test topshiruvchi IELTS writingdagi topshiriqlarga aynan qanday javob yozish kerakligi va tekshiruvchi ulardan aynan nimani kutishini aniq bilmasligi. Ushbu maqola IELTS dan kamida 7 ball olish sirlari haqida.

Test formati haqida qisqacha ma’lumot

Academic IELTS testining yozma qismida test topshiruvchiga 2 ta topshiriq va ularni bajarish uchun 60 daqiqa vaqt beriladi. Birinchi topshiriq task 1 deb ataladi va unda test topshiruvchiga statistik ma’lumotlar yoki boshqa turdagi ma’lumotlar vizual ko’rinishda beriladi. Test topshiruvchi shu ma’lumotga asoslanib kamida 150 so’zdan iborat hisobot (report) yozishi kerak. Ikkinchi qism Task 2 deb nomlanadi. Bu topshiriq Task 1 ning teskarisi, ya’ni unda test topshiruvchiga hech qanday ma’lumot berilmaydi. Ma’lumotni uning o’zi yozishi kerak. Bu qismda test topshiruvchilardan ularga berilgan mavzuda kamida 250 so’zdan iborat insho yozish talab etiladi. Ikkala topshiriqni tamomlashga ulgurish uchun vaqtdan nihoyatda unumli foydalanish zarur, chunki juda ko’p test topshiruvchilar 1 soat ichida ikkala topshiriqqa ham javob yozishga ulgurmay, past ball olishadi. Task 1 ga task 2 dan ikki barobar kam ball beriladi, shuning uchun task 2 ikki baravar muhimroq sanaladi. Task 1 reportni yozish uchun ko’pi bilan 20 daqiqa sarflash kerak. Task 2 ga esa 40 daqiqa qolishi zarur. Imtihon boshlanganda yozishni inshodan (ya’ni Task 2) boshlash kerak, chunki u reportdan muhimroq hisoblanadi va unga ko’proq mehnat kerak bo’ladi.

Past ballga sabab bo’ladigan faktorlar:

Vaqt yetmasligi. Har bir topshiriq uchun javobni yozishdan oldin puxta rejalashtirib olish juda muhim. Reportga ham, inshoga ham kirish va asosiy qismlar yoziladi. Inshoda ayniqsa xulosa qismi ham mavjud. Ularni rejalash, yozish va tahrirlashdan tashqari asosiy g’oyalarni shakllantirish ham zarur. Tajribasiz, ilgari ingliz tilida yozish bilan juda kam shug’ullangan yoki shunchaki test formati bilan to’liq tanish bo’lmagan test topshiruvchilar deyarli har doim shoshib qolishadi va ko’ngildagiday yozishga vaqtlari yetmay qoladi. Buning oldini olish uchun testga kirishdan oldin juda ko’p mashq qilish kerak. Tayyorgarlik chog’ida soat bilan ishlashni, tez fikrlashni va qanday qilib oxirida tahrirga vaqt qoldirishni mashq qilish kerak. Har bir qadam uchun ma’lum vaqt ajratib mashq qilish ham juda foydali. Masalan, birinchi 5-7 daqiqada butun mavzuni tahlil qilib, insho yoki reportni miyada shakllantirish, asosiy fikrlarni yozib qo’yish, xatto qanday faktlardan misol sifatida foydalanishni ham o’ylab olish kerak, qolgan vaqtda esa yozish bilan shug’ullanish, ya’ni tayyorlangan fikrlarni chiroyli ifodalashga diqqat qaratish kerak. Yozish jarayonining qoq o’rtasida keyingi gapga nima yozsam ekan, deb to’xtab qolish yaramaydi. Ko’p mashq qilinsa, fikrni ifodalash tezligi ancha ortib ketadi, odatda 300 ta so’zni 20 daqiqada tezlik bilan yozish mumkin. Bunga erishish uchun ko’p va xo’p yozib mashq qilish kerak. Demak, xulosa: testning ilk daqiqalarida nima yozishni aniq hal qilib olish va yozayotganda faqatgina chiroyli va tushunarli yozishgagina diqqat qilish kerak.
Yozma ishni rejalashtirmaslik. Vaqt tig’iz bo’lgan vaziyatda test topshiruvchi sara va izchil fikrlarni yetkazib bera olishi uchun bu fikrlar avval miyada yaxshilab o’ylab olingan bo’lishi kerak. Agar to’g’ridan-to’g’ri javoblar varaqasiga yozib ketilsa mavzudan tashqariga chiqib ketish, juda ko’p yozib yuborish yoki fikr kelmay qolishi, yozishga ko’p vaqt ketib qolishi yoki hammasi yozib bo’lingach yaxshiroq g’oya paydo bo’lib qolishi kabi tartibsizliklar sodir bo’lishi mumkin. Qalamni qog’ozga qo’ygan vaqt test topshiruvchi insho yoki reportning boshidan oxirigacha nima yozishini o’ylab olgan bo’lishi kerak. Aynan qanday so’zlar ishlatilishi hisobga olinmasa ham qanday turdagi fikr va ma’lumot berilishi aniq o’ylab olinishi kerak. Lekin qisqa vaqt ichida shuncha narsaga ulgurish uchun test topshiruvchi tez fikrlay va tez yoza olishi kerak. Yuqorida aytilgandek oldin nima yozishni o’ylab olish hamma tomondan vaqt va mehnatni tejaydi.
So’ralayotgan yozma ish formatini va shaklini yetarlicha tushunmaslik. Task 1 va 2 da taxminan 5tadan mavzu bor, ya’ni reportni ham, inshoni ham taxminan 5 xildan yozish mumkin. Odatda tahlil qilib qanday report yoki insho yozish kerakligini aniqlasa bo’ladi. Bu degani, topshiriqdan kelib chiqib tekshiruvchi sizdan aynan qanaqa shakldagi va ruhdagi yozma ish kutishini bilib olsa bo’ladi. Buning uchun barcha report va insho turlari bilan tanishib chiqish va har biriga qanday yondashishni puxta o’rganib olish kerak. Agar ikkala topshiriqni ham vaqtida tugata olsangiz va yozma ishni tartibli qilib yozsangiz-u, sizdan tahlil talab qilingan vaziyatda shaxsiy fikrga yo’naltirilgan insho yozib qo’ysangiz, ancha katta ball yo’qotib, barcha mehnatingiz puchga chiqib ketadi.

Yuqoridagi uch vaziyatdan kelib chiqib xulosa qiladigan bo’lsak: yozma imtihonda sizdan aynan nima talab qilishlarini biling, uni bajarish uchun vaqtdan to’g’ri foydalaning, vaqtdan unumli foydalanish uchun esa ishingizni reja asosida qiling.

Tekshiruvchi Test topshiruvchidan nima xohlaydi?

Bu savollarga javob berish uchun IELTS imtihonining yozma qismi qanday me’zonlar asosida baholanishiga e’tibor berish kerak:

Task achievement – 25% (topshiriqning to’g’ri va to’liq bajarilganligi).
Coherence&Cohesion – 25% (yozma ish to’gri va tushunarli shaklda yozilganligi).
Lexical Resource – 25% (so’z boyligidan foydalanilganligi).
Grammatical range&Accuracy – 25% (grammatik shakllardan keng va to’g’ri foydalanilganligi).

Yozma ishga qo’yiladigan umumiy ball shu to’rt me’zon asosida qo’yilgan baholarning o’rtachasi bo’ladi.

Agar test topshiruvchi 6.5 ball olgan bo’lsa, uning yozma ishi quyidagicha baholangan bo’lishi mumkin:

Task achievement – 7

Coherence&Cohesion – 7

Lexical resource – 7

Grammatical range&Accuracy – 6.

Xo’sh, 7 olish uchun yozma ish qanday bo’lishi kerak?

7 ballga loyiq deb topiladigan yozma ish quyidagi xususiyatlarga ega bo’lishi kerak:

Yuqori ball olish uchun ushbu me’zonlarni esda tutish va yozilgan har bir gap ularning deyarli barchasiga ball qo’shishiga harakat qilish kerak. Yozma ishingizning qayerida kamchilik bor yoki kamchiliklarni qanday to’g’irlash uchun IELTS bo’yicha ancha yuqori ball va tajribaga ega o’qituvchi bilan maslahatlashish muhim.

Endi, me’zonlarga alohida to’xtalamiz.

TASK ACHIEVEMENT

Task achievement, ya’ni topshiriq to’liq bajarilganligini tekshiruvchi me’zondan yaxshi ball olish uchun, qisqaroq aytganda, topshiriqda so’ralgan hamma narsani yozish kerak.

Masalan, sizga mana bunday topshiriq berilgan bo’lsa,

Sizdan ikkala fikrni ham tahlil qilish so’ralyapti. Agar, deylik, ulardan birini tahlil qilsangiz, yoki faqat o’z fikringizni yozib qo’ysangiz, topshiriq chala bajarilgan bo’ladi va task achievement’dan ball pasayadi.

Bunday savolga yozilgan inshoda muallifning munosabati bilinib turishi, lekin o’ta tarafkashlik qilmasdan ikkala fikr ham haqqoniy yoritib berilishi, tahlil jarayonida esa izohlovchi fikrlar va faktlar, ma’lumotlardan foydalanish kerak.

COHERENCE AND COHESION

Qisqacha aytganda, bu me’zon yozma ishda fikr va ma’lumotlarning tartibli va mantiqiy ketma-ketligi, ishning o’qish uchun qanchalik tushunarli ekanligini tekshiradi.

Bu banddan yuqori ball olish uchun yozma ishda har bir argument uchun alohida paragraf yozish, gaplarni bog’lovchilar bilan bog’lash va mantiqiy ketma-ketlikka e’tibor berish kerak. Yozma ishda kirish qismi, asosiy qism, asosiy qism tarkibida bir-biridan alohida paragraflarga ajratilgan bir nechta asosiy fikrlar va xulosa qismi bo’lishi o’ta muhim. Fikrlar kirish qismida umumiylikdan ma’lum fikrga qarab torayib borishi va boshidan boshlab xulosa qismiga yo’nalishi kerak.

LEXICAL RESOURCE

Bu banddan yuqori ball olishni xohlagan test topshiruvchi ingliz tilini yaxshi biladiganlargina to’g’ri ishlata oladigan so’zlarni bilishini yozma ishida ko’rsatishi kerak. Bu lug’at boyligi bilan maqtanish imkoniyatidir. Bu vaziyatda umumiy vaziyatlarda ishlatiladigan oddiy so’zlarni “qiyin”, ilmiy, hamma ham bilavermaydigan sinonimlar bilan almashitirish foydali. Ish leksik jihatdan chiroyli va tushunarli bo’lishi kerak. Lekin kamyob so’zlarni shunchaki ishlatish bilan ularni to’g’ri ishlatishning o’rtasida katta farq bor. Biror “aqlli” so’zni xato ishlatgandan ko’ra umumiyroq so’zni o’z o’rnida qo’llagan test topshiruvchi yuqoriroq ball oladi. Ishlatilayotgan so’zning vaziyatga mosligiga 100% amin bo’lmasangiz, uni ishlatmang.

GRAMMATICAL RANGE AND ACCURACY

Bu qism test topshiruvchi grammatikani qanchalik yaxhsi o’zlashtirgani va undan qanchalik samarali foydalana olishini baholaydi. Bu banddan yuqori ball olish uchun ingliz tilidagi turli grammatik shakllardan keng foydalanish va ularni vaziyatga moslab, to’g’ri ishlatish kerak. Inshoning umumiy ruhiga bu va Lexical Resource bandlari katta ta’sir ko’rsatadi. Rasmiy so’zlarni rasmiyroq grammatik shakllar bilan yozish kerak, agar grammatik shakllar oddiy bo’lsa, o’ta ilmiy yoki rasmiy so’zlarni ularga aralashtirmaslik kerak. Grammatik shakllar va so’zlar birgalikda inshoning ruhi (toni) va stilini ko’rsatib beradi. Shuning uchun ikkalasidan foydalanish darajasi bir-biriga yaqin bo’lishi zarur. Agar o’ta ilmiy grammatik shaklga juda oddiy so’zlar biriktirilsa yoki aksincha bo’lsa, insho notabiiy chiqadi. Notabiiylik, “mexanik” tuyiladigan gaplar va o’qigan sari tushunish qiyinlashib, qayta o’qishga majbur qiladigan gaplar umumiy insho ruhini buzib yuboradi. Unutmang, bu tilni bilish darajasini tekshiradigan imtihon, unda har xil shakllarni bilish-u ishlata olmaslik emas, qancha shakl bilsa ham ularni 100% aniqlikda ishlata olish yuqoriroq ball olib keladi.

Keyingi maqolalarda IELTS imtihonidan maffaqqiyatli o’tib, yuqori ball olish sirlarini yoritishda davom etamiz. Biz bilan bo’ling!

'Essay' yozish uchun kerakli iboralar.

Esse qanday yoziladi?

Kirish – mavzuni mantiqiy va uslubiy jihatdan bog‘lab oydinlashtirish. Bu bosqichda qalamga olingan mavzuni yoritish uchun savolni to‘g‘ri qo‘yish muhim. Chunonchi, bu o‘rinda esse yozuvchi “Kirish qismida ushbu mavzuga ma’lumot berish kerakmi?”, “Men tanlagan mavzuning dolzarbligi qay darajada?”, “Men esse yozish davomida o‘z fikrimni dalillash uchun qanday manbalarga tayanaman?”, “Men kalit so‘zdan kelib chiqqan holda tezis qo‘ya olamanmi?” kabi savollarni o‘z oldiga qo‘yishi va shuning tevaragida fikr yuritgani ma’qul. Essening kirish qismi kamida, ikki xatboshidan iborat bo‘lishi va har bir xatboshida ikki-uch gap ifodalanishi mumkin. O‘quvchini qiziqtirish, uning e’tiborini jalb etish maqsadida essening kirish qismi jonli va aniq yozilishi kerak. Bunda xitob, undov, shaxsiy tajribaga ishora, ritorik so‘roq kabilardan foydalanish o‘rinlidir. Kirish qismida o‘quvchi esse mavzusiga tushuncha beradi, shu orqali uning esse mavzusini qanday tushunganligi aniqlanadi va bu mavzu nima uchun dolzarb ekanligi yoritiladi. Mavzu va uning dolzarbligi yoritilgandan keyin tezis qo‘yiladi. Tezisdan keyin asosiy qismga bog‘lovchi gap yoziladi. Agar tezis aniq va yaqqol berilsa, gap yozilmasligi ham mumkin.

Tezis qo‘yish essening eng muhim shartlaridan biridir. Tezis – essening kaliti. Kaliti topilmasa, essening asosiy maqsadiga yetish qiyin. Tezis – muallifning shaxsiy nuqtayi nazarini bildirib, u asosiy qismda isbotlanadigan fikrni yo‘naltiruvchi g‘oya hisoblanadi. Tezis essening kirish qismida yoziladi.

Asosiy qism

Asosiy bo‘lim – mavzuning nazariy asosi va savolning mazmunini bayon etuvchi bo‘lim. Bunda mavzuga mos barcha bilimlar, asosiy fikr va muammoga bog‘liq dalil va faktlar jamlangan bo‘lib, unda dalillar, xabarlar, turli statistik ma’lumotlardan foydalanib, mavzu yoritiladi, ko‘tarilgan muammoning kelib chiqish sabablari oydinlashtiriladi. Bu jarayon birmuncha murakkabroq kechadi. Shu sababli, asosiy bo‘limni bir necha kichik qismlarga bo‘lish mumkin. Har bir qismni dalillar asosida yoritish asosiy savolga javob topishga ko‘maklashadi. O‘quvchining keltirilgan fakt va dalillarni taqqoslab, o‘z qarashlarini tahlil orqali ko‘rsatib borishi asosiy bo‘limning to‘liq yoritilishiga imkon beradi. Qismlarga to‘g‘ri ajratish va izchillik bilan bayon etish mavzuning yoritilishidagi mantiqiylikni ta’minlaydi. Dalillar – o‘quvchi tomonidan aytilgan fikrni isbotlash uchun keltiriladigan ko‘chirma (maqol, tsitata, hikmatli so‘z, rivoyat, she’riy parchalar va h.k.). Qo‘yilgan tezisga kamida ikkitadan dalillar keltirilishi kerak. Asosiy qismni yoritish uchun kerakli ma’lumotlarni keltirish jarayonida qo‘yilayotgan masalaga o‘quvchining shaxsiy munosabatini bildiruvchi, shuning bilan birga, menimcha, mening fikrimcha, birinchidan, ikkinchidan, shu kabi, demak, biroq, unday bo‘lsa kabi kirish so‘zlardan foydalanish o‘rinli bo‘ladi.

Xulosa – mavzu bo‘yicha chiqariladigan yakuniy jumlalar bo‘lib, unda yangi fikr-mulohazalar bildirilmaydi, balki dalillarga suyangan holda yakun chiqarilib, uni yechish yo‘llari ko‘rsatiladi. Essening yakuniy qismida asosiy qismda berilgan muammoning yechimi tasdiqlanadi va mazmunning mohiyati ochiladi, ya’ni «Esse boshida ko‘tarilgan masala bo‘yicha nima deyish mumkin?» degan savolga aniq va tushunarli javob tarzida yozilishi kerak. Xulosa qismida quyidagi kirish so‘zlardan foydalaniladi: men shunday xulosaga keldimki.., qisqasi, asosiy fikrim shuki.., xulosa qilib aytganda… va boshqalar.

Keyingi marta fikr bildirishim uchun bu brauzerda mening ismim, email va saytim manzili saqlansin.

O‘qituvchiga ham, o‘quvchiga ham birday muhim: esse qanday yoziladi?

So‘nggi paytlarda esse atamasi faol iste’molga kirdi. Endi uni yozuvchi yoki publitsistlar emas, o‘qituvchilar va o‘quvchilar ham tez-tez qo‘llay boshladi. Bu G‘arb ta’limiga xos bo‘lgan esse yozish an’anasining kirib kelgani va ommalashgani bilan bog‘liq. Rivojlangan mamlakatlar oliy o‘quv yurtlarida o‘qishga kirish uchun yoki IELTS kabi til bilish salohiyatini baholovchi imtihonlarda esse yozish topshiriqlari beriladi. Bu shakldagi sinov mashqlari O‘zbekistonda ham ommalashyapti. Masalan, milliy sertifikat olish istagida bo‘lgan o‘qituvchilardan esse yozish so‘ralyapti. “Daryo” kolumnisti Orif Tolib bugun ushbu yozma ish turining xususiyatlari, uni yozishda nimalarga e’tibor berish zarurligi haqida so‘z yuritadi.

Esse – erkin asar

Esse – erkin kompozitsiyali nasriy adabiy janr. U adabiy, falsafiy, ijtimoiy, publitsistik va boshqa mavzularda yoziladi, muammolar tizimli, ilmiy tarzda emas, balki erkin shaklda talqin qilinadi. O‘zbek adabiyotida esse janrida samarali ijod qilgan adiblardan biri Shukur Xolmirzayev bu janrni “yozuvchiga behad keng erkinliklar beradi” deya maqtaydi .

O‘qituvchi va o‘quvchilardan talab qilinadigan esselar adabiyotdagi essedan farq qiladi. Biroq ularning umumiy jihatlari ham bor. Har ikkisida ham muallifning fikri, munosabati, qarashlari, taassurotlari yetakchi xususiyatdir.

Xo‘sh, u biz o‘rgangan inshodan nimasi bilan farq qiladi? Inshoda so‘z boyligi, badiiy til vositalaridan keng foydalanish muhim sanaladi. Ta’lim esselarida esa ko‘pincha biror muammoli mavzuga munosabat bildirish, unga yechimlar taklif qilish so‘raladi. Bunda o‘quvchi fakt va ma’lumotlardan, iqtiboslardan ham o‘rinli foydalanishi, hayotiy misollar keltirishi zarur. Esse inshoga nisbatan hajman kichik. Unga reja tuzish ham talab etilmaydi. Inshodan o‘quvchining fikrini yozma shaklda va badiiy tarzda ifodalash qobiliyatini oshirish ko‘zda tutilsa, esse fikrlash, fikrni dalillash va munosabatni bayon eta olishni shakllantirishga xizmat qiladi.

Esse yozish jarayoni

Essening turiga qarab unga sarflanadigan vaqt ham turlicha bo‘ladi. Essening mulohazali, tavsiflovchi, umumlashtiruvchi, dalilli kabi turlari bor. Masalan, mulohazali yoki tavsiflovchi esseda vaqtni asosan yozishga sarflasangiz, dalilli esseda fakt va ma’lumotlarni izlash, qayta ishlashga ham yetarlicha vaqt ajratishingiz kerak.

O‘quvchi, talaba, ishga kiruvchi nomzod, o‘qituvchi yoki boshqa mutaxassislarga mo‘ljallanganiga qarab essening hajmi farq qiladi. Maktab o‘quvchilari odatda 200–300 so‘zli esse yozadi.

Har qanday esseni yozish uchun ma’lum bir bilim, ko‘nikma va hayotiy tajribaga ega bo‘lish zarur. Aks holda, yozganlaringiz bo‘sh chiqadi.

Esse yozish jarayoni ko‘pincha quyidagicha kechadi: muammo yoki mavzuni aniqlash – mavzu haqida fikrlash – rejalashtirish – yozish – tekshirish – tuzatishlar va to‘ldirishlar kiritish.

Mavzuni qanday yoritishingizga qarab reja tuzasiz. Mavzuning mohiyati nimada, uni nimalar orqali ochib berish va asoslantirish mumkin, qanaqa dalillar va faktlardan foydalaniladi, oxirida qanday xulosaga kelinadi? Rejani o‘zingiz uchun belgilab olasiz, u inshodagi kabi matn boshida keltirilmaydi. Lekin nima deyishingiz, nimalarga urg‘u qaratishingiz, xulosangiz oldindan aniq bo‘lishi kerak.

Esse qismlari

Esse boshqa ijodiy ishlar kabi kirish, asosiy qism va xulosa dan iborat bo‘ladi. Kirish qismida essening mavzusi, u haqida tushuncha berib o‘tiladi. Uni ortiqcha cho‘zib yubormaslik kerak. U umumiy matnning 10–20 foizini tashkil etadi. Kirish o‘quvchini qiziqtira olishiga e’tibor qarating. Chunki matnni to‘liq o‘qish yo o‘qimaslik qarori ko‘pincha kirishdayoq hal bo‘ladi. Birinchi jumla ohanraboday bo‘lishiga erishish juda muhim. U e’tibor tortuvchi savol, qiziqarli fakt yoki mavzuning dolzarbligini aniq-ravshan ko‘rsatadigan fikr bo‘lishi mumkin.

O‘quvchi mavzuni tushunishi, sizning dalil va fikrlaringiz nimaga qaratilganini anglashi uchun qisqacha ma’lumot berishingiz, atamalarni izohlashingiz mumkin. Biroq bunga ko‘p kirishib ketmang. Ular haqida asosiy qismda batafsilroq yozish imkoningiz bor.

Keyin tezis , ya’ni asosiy g‘oya, nuqtayi nazar keltiriladi va unga ta’rif beriladi. Tezis – siz ilgari suradigan qarash yoki argument. Yozganlaringiz unga yo‘naltiruvchi bo‘ladi. Zarur bo‘lsa, mavzuga doir turli qarashlarni, jumladan, bir-biriga zid qarashlarni ham sanab o‘tish mumkin. Hajm masalasiga e’tibor bering. Tezis uzog‘i ikki-uch jumla bo‘lsin. Maqsad – o‘quvchining diqqatini mavzuga qaratish va sizning mavzu bo‘yicha pozitsiyangizni bildirib qo‘yish.

Asosiy qismda tezisni qo‘llab-quvvatlaydigan, siz ilgari surayotgan g‘oya yoki fikrni dalillaydigan fakt va ma’lumotlarni keltirasiz, tahlil qilasiz. Uning hajmi essening turi, mavzuning ko‘lamiga bog‘liq. Odatda asosiy qism essening 60–70 foizini tashkil etadi. Masalan, o‘quvchilar yozadigan 300 so‘zli essening 180–210 so‘zi asosiy qismga ajratilishi mumkin.

Xulosa – essening yakunlovchi qismi. U odatda butun matnning 10–15 foizini tashkil etadi. Xulosada tezisga, ya’ni bosh g‘oyaga qaytiladi. Asosiy fikrlar o‘zaro bog‘lanib, sizning fikr va qarashlaringiz, dalillaringiz nima uchun ahamiyatli ekani ta’kidlanadi. Uni o‘quvchida chuqur taassurot qoldiradigan fikr, ta’sirli gap bilan tugatish zarur.

Matn sifatini oshirish uchun tavsiyalar

Esse yozishdan oldin mavzuni kengroq o‘rganing . Tushunmagan narsalaringizga aniqlik kiriting. Detallar, atamalar, fakt va raqamlarni tekshiring.

Muammoning mohiyatini qisqacha bayon qiling, fakt va dalillar keltiring . Olimlar, mutafakkirlar va soha mutaxassislarining fikrlaridan iqtiboslar qo‘shish mumkin. Iqtiboslarning aniqligiga diqqat qarating.

Ortiqcha kirish so‘zlar, yuk tashimaydigan ifodalardan voz keching . Bunday ifodalar har qanday matnda, jumladan, esseda ham foydasiz. Masalan, “shuningdek”, “shu bilan birga”, “shuni alohida ta’kidlash lozimki”, “aytib o‘tish joizki”, “hammamizga ma’lumki”, “olib borilayotgan keng ko‘lamli islohotlar natijasida”, “keng ko‘lamli ishlar olib borilmoqda” kabi so‘z va iboralar aksariyat o‘rinlarda hech qanday foydali ish bajarmaydi.

Sodda va qo‘shma gaplardan aralash foydalaning. Jumlalar bo‘ldi-bo‘ldi, qildi-qildi, edi-edi kabi bir xil shakldagi fe’llar bilan tugayvermasin. Orada ot-kesimli gaplar ishlating. So‘z takroridan qoching.

Uslub va individuallik masalasi ham muhim. Samimiy va ochiq fikrli bo‘ling. O‘quvchi siz bilan birga fikrlasin, sizni o‘ziga yaqin ko‘rsin. Yasama ifodalar, kitobiylik, o‘zingizni bilimdon ko‘rsatishga urinish esseni zerikarli va o‘qishga yaroqsiz qilib qo‘yadi.

Shunchaki matn yasashga urinmang. Aytadigan aniq gapingiz bo‘lmasa, so‘z bo‘tqasi hosil bo‘lib qolishi ehtimoli katta. Misollaringiz ham aniq bo‘lsin. Umumiy, taxminiy gaplar fikrga kuch bermaydi.

Yozgan essengizni ovoz chiqarib o‘qib ko‘ring. Shunda uning kamchiliklarini, ifodadagi g‘alizliklarini aniqlash osonlashadi.

Imkoni bo‘lsa, bir muddatdan so‘ng esseni qayta ko‘rib chiqing. Agar esseni imtihonda birdaniga yozmayotgan bo‘lsangiz, ikki-uch kundan so‘ng uni “tozargan” miya, yangilangan qarash bilan o‘qing. Oldin ko‘rmagan xato va nuqsonlarni albatta topasiz.

Agar essening hajmi katta bo‘lsa, uni qismlarga bo‘ling va ichki sarlavhalar qo‘ying. Yaxlit, katta bir materialni o‘qigandan ko‘ra kichik qismlardan tashkil topgan materialni o‘qish-tushunish osonroq. O‘quvchi ichki sarlavhalarga ko‘z yugurtirgandayoq essening yo‘nalishi, mazmun-mohiyati haqida dastlabki xulosaga keladi. Agar uni shu bosqichda qiziqtira olsangiz, material katta bo‘lsa ham, o‘qib chiqadi.

Xatboshilarga bo‘lish orqali matnga havo bering. Har bir abzasda biror asosiy fikr yoki qarash ifodalanishi zarur.

Qisqa, lo‘nda va aniq yozishga intiling.

Esse yozishdagi xatolar

Ortiqcha jimjimadorlik. Ko‘p kitob o‘qiganingizni yoki so‘z boyligingizni atay ko‘rsatishga urinmang. Insholarda kuzatiladigan badiiy bo‘yoqdorlik, balandparvozlikni esse ko‘tarmaydi. Deylik, onalarning bolalar salomatligida tutgan o‘rni haqida yozyapsiz. “O, ona, sen naqadar buyuk zotsan! Sening mehring oldida daryolar ham kichik bir ariqqa aylanib qoladi. Sening qaynoq qalbing butun bir olamni isitishga yetadi. Sen oq suting, ulkan mehr-u g‘amxo‘rliging bilan bolaga shunchaki mehr emas, salomatlik ham tuhfa etasan” singari hayajon to‘la gaplar mutlaqo ortiqcha. Buning o‘rniga bolalarni asosan onalar parvarishlashi, ularning sog‘lig‘i ko‘p jihatdan onalarga bog‘liqligini misollar, faktlar bilan dalillang. Yoki hayotiy misol keltirishingiz ham mumkin: “Sakkiz yoshimda qattiq shamollab qoldim. Onam kechasi bilan boshimda mijja qoqmay chiqdi. Tongda esa meni opichlab yo‘lga tushdi. Dala yo‘ldan qo‘shni qishloqdagi doktornikiga bordik. U yozib bergan dorilarni ichib, bir kunda tuzaldim. Balki, bu voqea onamning yodidan ko‘tarilgandir. Lekin mening esimda. Hozir ham biror joyim og‘rib qolsa, farzandini opichlagancha dala yo‘lda harsillab yo‘l bosayotgan onam ko‘z oldimga keladi”.

Mavzuni yaxshi bilmaslik va hayotiy misollar keltirmaslik. O‘zi yaxshi bilmagan odam boshqalarga nimani tushuntirishi, anglata olishi mumkin? Hayotiy misollar har doim ham o‘rinli bo‘lmasligi mumkin. Lekin ko‘p hollarda o‘rinli bo‘ladi. U essening jozibadorligini, ishonchliligini oshiradi. Muallifni o‘quvchiga yaqinlashtiradi.

Fakt va ma’lumotlardagi xatolik. Tekshirilmagan yoki ishonchsiz manbalardan olingan faktlardan foydalanish so‘zingizning qadrini tushiradi.

Dalillashdagi xatolik. Fikrga aloqasiz yoki uni quvvatlantirmaydigan dalillar keltirmaslik kerak. Dalillar o‘rniga ritorika yoki quruq tasdiqdan foydalanish ham koni zarar. Faqat boshqalarning fikrini keltirish, o‘z munosabati va pozitsiyasini ifodalamaslik esa esseni uning bosh xususiyati – shaxsiy munosabat, qarashni ifodalashdan mosuvo etadi.

Qaytariqlar . So‘z, jumla va fikrlarni qaytarish, aytib bo‘lingan fikrni keyinroq boshqa shaklda ifodalash holatlari muallifning malakasi yuqori emasligini ko‘rsatadi.

Mantiqiy ketma-ketlikning yo‘qligi. Jumla va fikrlar bir-biriga bog‘lanishi kerak. Tomdan tarasha tushganday boshqa gapga o‘tib ketish essening yaxlitligiga darz yetkazadi.

Mavzudan chetga chiqish. Mavzuga bevosita aloqador bo‘lmagan masalalarga o‘tib ketish, “o‘tlash” essening hajmini o‘rinsiz oshiradi, o‘quvchining vaqtini o‘g‘irlaydi.

Xulosalashdagi xatolar . Xulosa bermaslik, matnda oldin aytib o‘tilgan fikrlarni shunchaki qaytarish essening muhim va yakunlovchi qismi nuqsonli chiqib qolishiga olib keladi.

Formatlashdagi xatolar. Agar esseni kompyuterda yozadigan bo‘lsangiz, qo‘llanayotgan shriftlar va harflarning shakliga diqqatli bo‘ling. Qalin , qiya , tagiga chizilgan shakldan me’yoridan ortiq foydalanish, shriftlar xilma-xilligi, shrift qo‘llashdagi prinsipsizlik essening tashqi ko‘rinishiga putur yetkazadi. Agar turfa xil shrift ishlatmoqchi bo‘lsangiz, uchtadan ortiq shriftdan foydalanmang. Sarlavha, ichki sarlavha va asosiy matn uchun alohida shrift qo‘llash mumkin. Shriftlar boshqa kompyuterlarda bo‘lishi ehtimolini ham hisobga oling. Nostandart shriftdan foydalansangiz, u boshqa kompyuterda bo‘lmasligi, natijada turli muammolar kelib chiqishi mumkin.

Eng yomoni – ko‘chirmakashlik. Plagiat boshqalarning esselari, maqolalari, asarlari yoki ularning parchalaridan manba ko‘rsatmay foydalanish. Bu sizning obro‘-e’tiboringizni keskin tushiradi. Essega qo‘yiladigan baho ham eng quyiga sho‘ng‘iydi. Boshqalarning fikrlari, ijodiy ishlarini o‘qib-o‘rganish, ulardan bemalol foydalanish mumkin. Ammo manba ko‘rsatishni unutmaslik kerak. Boshqa kimdir aytgan fikrni siz ham aytishingiz ko‘chirmakashlik bo‘lmaydi. Plagiat – aynan ifodalash, birovning mehnatini o‘zlashtirib olish. Aynan ifodalamayapman-ku deb uch-to‘rtta so‘zini o‘zgartirib qo‘yish ham o‘zini oqlamaydi. Bunday matn mohiyatan plagiat bo‘lib qolaveradi.

Qanday mashq qilish kerak?

Bilim, tajriba, so‘z boyligi, ifoda qobiliyati juda muhim. Demak, ana shu jihatlarni yaxshilashga intilish zarur.

Boshqa esse va maqolalarni, kitoblarni o‘qing. Ulardan o‘zingizga ma’qul, sizni ta’sirlantirgan, hayajonlantirgan o‘rinlarni alohida daftarga ko‘chirib yozing. Bu matnni o‘zlashtirishingizni osonlashtiradi. Biroq sifatli asarlarnigina mutolaa qilish zarur. O‘rtamiyona bitiklar ta’sirini sizga albatta o‘tkazadi va siz ham shunday yoza boshlaysiz. So‘ng bu darajani eng yaxshisi deb hisoblash ehtimolingiz ortadi.

Mavzuyingizga aloqador manbalarni ko‘rib chiqing. Biroq esseni fakt va ma’lumotlar guldastasiga aylantirmang. Ortiqcha ma’lumot esseni zerikarli qilib qo‘yishi mumkin.

Fakt va raqamlar aniqligiga e’tibor bering. “Olimlarning fikricha”, “o‘tkazilgan tadqiqotlarga ko‘ra” kabi iboralarni aniqroq shaklda bering. Masalan, “Illinoys universiteti olimlari 2020-yili o‘tkazgan tadqiqot natijalariga ko‘ra”, “YUNISEFning 2017-yilgi hisobotida aytilishicha” kabi jumlalar fakt va dalillarni osmondan olmaganingizni ko‘rsatadi. Bunda iqtibos mavjudligi ham muhim. Ko‘rsatgan manbangizda siz aytgan ma’lumot bo‘lmasa, essening qadr-qimmati albatta tushadi.

Ko‘p yozing. Imkoni bo‘lsa, har kuni biror mavzuda esse yozib ko‘ring. Sifati, darajasi turlicha bo‘lishi mumkin. Kundan kunga yaxshiroq yozishga harakat qilavering. Mabodo ko‘nglingizdagiday chiqmasa ham, xafa bo‘lmang. Duch kelgan qiyinchiliklaringizni yengib o‘tish yo‘llarini qidiring. Agar har kuni yoki kunora esse yozish meʼdangizga tegsa, oraliqni uzaytiring. Esse yozish mashqini malaka hosil qilguncha davom ettirish mumkin.

“Motivation Letter” yoki “Essay”ni qanday yozish kerak?

2023-2024 o'quv yili uchun DTM natijalari ➡️ KIRISH BALLARI

Bilasiz, AQShda yoki dunyoning boshqa istalgan davlatida o‘qish uchun hujjat topshirsangiz, hujjatlar bilan birga insho ham talab qilinadi. Bu insholar, odatda, “motivation letter”, “statement of purpose” yoki “cover letter” kabi nomlar bilan ataladi.

Nomning ahamiyati yo‘q. Ularning hammasi bir maqsadni, ya’ni sizning kimligingizni, bu oliygohda o‘qishdan maqsadlaringizni aniqlashga qaratilgan bo‘ladi.

“Motivation letter” nega kerak?

O‘zi bunaqa yozma ishning nima keragi bor, degan tabiiy savol tug‘ilishi mumkin. Shu bois, avvalo, bu talab nega muhimligini aniqlab olamiz.

Aytaylik, qabul uchun bitta o‘ringa 10 ta odam da’vogarlik qilmoqda. Hammasining maktab yoki bakalavr paytida olgan baholari a’lo darajada; IELTS/TOEFL natijalari ham bir xil. Ulardan qaysi birini qabul qilish kerak?

Mana shunday holatda sizning yozgan insholaringiz qo‘l keladi. Chunki 10 ta odam bir xil mavzuda insho yozsa, 10 xil yozishi aniq. Ular orasidan qaysi biri yaxshi yozgani, inson sifatida, talaba sifatida, bo‘lajak mutaxassis sifatida qaysi biri aqlliroq, maqsadlari aniqroq ekanini mana shu 1-2 varaq yozgan xatiga qarab bilib olish mumkin. Shuning uchun ham insholar xorijdagi oliy o‘quv yurtlariga qabul qilishda muhim o‘lchov mezonlaridan biri hisoblanadi.

Insho yozishda e’tibor berish bo‘lgan muhim jihatlar

Insholar uchun, odatda, juda qisqa hajm belgilanadi. 1000 ta yoki 500 ta so‘zdan oshmasin, degan talablar bo‘ladi va shu talablarga rioya qilish kerak .

Inshoni ravon va bexato yozish muhim bo‘lsa-da, sizga insho yozdirishdan asosiy maqsad ingliz tilida qanday yozishingizni tekshirish emas. Zotan, bu narsa uchun TOEFl/IELTS imtihonlarida yozma ish topshirgansiz.

Alohida insho yozishdan maqsad - sizning inson sifatida o‘ziga xosligingizni, oliy o‘quv yurtidagi o‘qish muhitiga qanday hissa qo‘sha olishingizni, sizga beriladigan imknoyatdan qanday unumli foydalanishingizni tekshirish. Demak, insho orqali mana shu jihatlaringizni ochib berishingiz kerak.

Qisqa, lo‘nda va aniq yozing. Yozganingizni tekshiradigan odamlar bir kunda yuzlab, balki minglab insholarni o‘qiydi. Shu bois ular ko‘z yugurtirayotganda “yarq” etib diqqatini tortadigan narsa bo‘lishi kerak. Umumiy gaplardan qoching. “Maqsadim AQShda o‘qish va yurtimga qaytib vatanim ravnaqiga hissa qo‘shish”, deb yozish xato emas, lekin juda oddiy va umumiy gap. Bu gapdan sizning boshqalardan farqli jihatingizni aniqlab bo‘lmaydi.

Mavzuni shaxsiylashtiring. Ya’ni, odamga ta’sir qiladigan biror shaxsiy voqeadan boshlang. Sizning bilim olishingizga, o‘qishingizga turtki bergan, hayotingizni o‘zgartirib yuborgan biror voqeani qisqacha hikoya qiling. Amerikaliklar “personal story”larni yaxshi ko‘radi.

Mavzuga kirish, asosiy “point”lar va xulosa bo‘lsin. Masalan, nima uchun bu universitetda yoki shu sohada o‘qimoqchisiz, degan savolga javob berayotgan bo‘lsangiz, dastlab bu savolga umumiy kirish orqali 1-2 ta gapdan iborat javob yozing. So‘ng shuni qo‘llab-quvvatlovchi kamida 2-3 ta aniq sabablarni yoki misollarni keltiring. Yoki inshoni to‘g‘ridan to‘g‘ri shaxsiy hikoya, boshingizdan o‘tgan qaysidir voqeadan boshlab, yozish davomida shu hikoyani rivojlantirib borib, nega shu sohada o‘qishga ahd qilganingizga bog‘lab keting.

Rezyumeda (CV) kelgan ma’lumotni qayta yozmang. Balki uni to‘ldiradigan yoki rezyumedagi muvaffaqiyatni tushuntirib beradigan ma’lumotlarni tilga oling.

Yetakchilik salohiyatingizni ko‘rsating. Amerikaliklar liderlarni yaxshi ko‘radi. Siz bakalavr yoki magistraturaga hujjat topshirayotgan yosh yigit yoki qiz bo‘lishingiz mumkin; shu bois sizdan olamshumul muvaffaqiyat yoki yetakchilikni talab qilishmaydi. Maktabda yoki universitetda sinf yetakchisi bo‘lgandirsiz, qaysidir sport jamoasini boshqargandirsiz; shu kabi muvaffaqiyatlaringizni eslatishni unutmang. Darsdan tashqari ishlar (extracurricular activities), volontyorlik kabi faoliyat turlari Amerikada qattiq qadrlanadi. Qaysidir sport turi bilan shug‘ullanarsiz; musiqa to‘garagiga borarsiz; yoki qaysidir tanlovda g‘olib chiqqandirsiz, bularni tilga olishdan uyalmang va bu ishlar siz o‘qimoqchi bo‘lgan sohaga aloqador bo‘lishi shart emas. G‘arbda o‘z sohasidan tashqarida bo‘lgan faoliyat turlari bilan shug‘ullanadiganlar hurmat qilinadi. Masalan, axborot texnologiyalari sohasiga hujjat topshirsangiz, boks bo‘yicha shahar championi ekaningiz yoki pianino chalish sevimli mashg‘ulotingiz ekani siz uchun faqat plyus hisoblanadi. Bularni, albatta, eslatish kerak. Ya’ni bir-biridan farqli bir necha faoliyat turida muvaffaqiyat qozonishni kamdan-kam odam eplaydi. Sizda shunday jihat bo‘lsa, bu sizning yutug‘ingiz.

Yozganingizni qayta o‘qing. Insho yozishni hujjat topshirishning so‘nggi kunigacha qoldirmang. Yaxshi “essay” yozish uzoq vaqt oladi. Yozganingizni 2-3 kun o‘tib qayta o‘qing. Shunda uni yaxshilash bo‘yicha yangi fikrlar keladi. Yanada yaxshiroq qilish imkoniyati tug‘iladi.

Fikr olish va tuzatish uchun yozganingizni boshqalarga ko‘rsating. Do‘stingiz yoki ustozingiz xatolarni tuzatishi, yanada yaxshilash uchun qo‘shimcha fikr berishi mumkin. Ammo inshoni boshqa odamga to‘liq yozdirish yoki qayta yozish darajasida tahrir qildirish to‘g‘ri emas. Fikr va asosiy matn sizniki bo‘lishi kerak.

Xulosa. Sodda tilda yozing. Murakkab jumlalar va uzun gaplardan iborat matn yozish sizni aqlliroq ko‘rsatib qo‘ymaydi. Muhimi – uslubiy va grammatik xatolardan xoli va mazmuni o‘ziga xos, boy bo‘lsin.

Yuqorida yozganimdek, “Motivation letter”dan maqsad ravon yoza olishingizni ko‘rsatish emas, balki sizning boshqalardan afzal jihatingizni ochib berishdir.
