WRITING TASK 2: BALANCED-ARGUMENT ESSAYS

Tele-working/55,56,57,58,59

In recent years the vast expansion of information and communication technology had made tele-working more practical Some are interested in this new way of working, while others do not think about it positively The arguments surrounding the issue of working from home will be examined in this essay

Allowing workers to work from home is favored for some reasons Firstly, costs for employers would be reduced because businesses would require less office space, and this is often situated in the center of large cities Secondly, workers’ life would

be improved in many different ways They could also combine their work with their family life, especially when they have young children or old people to look after Finally, they would not need to travel to get to work, so they get more free time for relaxation

To some people, working from home is not always a good choice Workers would miss the social communication such as seeing colleagues and meeting customers In many cases, tele-workers become depressed after a time of working alone with the computer Besides, supervising tele-workers is more complicated than supervising workers in the same office

In conclusion, I believe that although many workers welcome the opportunity to go out to work, others would find the chance to work from home very convenient Where possible, I think workers should be offered the choice, but not forced to work

from home unless they wish to (236 words)

Many parents think teachers should give students homework every day, but some others are against the idea Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Sample writing

Homework has been an indispensable activity during students’ learning process Many parents believe that teachers should give students homework every day However, some others oppose this idea These both views will be discussed in this essay before arriving at a conclusion

Daily homework is in favor of several parents for some benefits First, it helps to review their lessons Studies have suggested that learners need to be exposed to a piece of information for a certain number of times in order for them to remember it Second, homework also helps set up students’ habit of self-study, gradually students can learn how to manage their time to complete their duty

On the other hand, there are also reasons why other people are against daily

homework for students First of all, if students have to do homework every day, they may feel fed up with their study because they do not have time to relax, to entertain themselves or to do other things necessary in their daily life Besides, too much homework may affect students’ health In fact, when they have to sit at their table studying with piles of homework every day, they will become tired, and even have some problems with their back, eyes, and head The feeling of not completing the assignment, of being scolded or punished by their teachers, and of losing face may gradually make students become depressed, which is very dangerous for

themselves

In my opinion, homework is good in students’ learning process However, because

of its negative effects, teachers should consider how much homework and how often to assign it Outside the school, students need to have time to relax and to live their own lives beyond their study So, teachers should not give students, especially

children, too much homework every day (296 words)

Some people believe that young people nowadays have a more stressful life than previous generations, while some others support the opposing view point Discuss the issue and give your opinion.

With the advancement of modern technology, life seems to be more complicated in today’s world Many people believe that the youth in modern time suffer more stressful life than previous generations However, others have opposing viewpoints

In this essay, the two sides of the issue will be discussed

PRACTICE/59: Read the following text about taking care of old people.

It has been common in some countries that old people live in the retirement

houses In some other countries, it is not acceptable for children to let their old parents live in such places.

Write an essay to an educated reader to discuss both views and give your opinion.

Taking care of the old people is the major concerns of individuals In some countries,

it is popular that the elderly are arranged to live in retirement houses while in other countries, it is unacceptable for children to let their old parents live in such places Both views on how to take care of old people will be discussed in this essay

In some Western countries, old people usually live in retirement houses because of several reasons Firstly, the elderly are taken are better in retirement houses than at home because their children are too busy with their work and spent little time for their old parents Secondly, in retirement houses, it is easy for old people to make friends and talk to other people of the same age, so they are happier

On the other hand, in Eastern countries, letting old people live in retirement houses

is unacceptable In fact, according to these traditions and cultures, children are responsible to look after their old parents In addition, old people always want to live with their children, transfer their experiences and help their children what they can do Therefore, they feel that they live a meaningful life with their children

In conclusion, how to take care of old people is a controversial issue, and it depends

on each country or culture However, I strongly believe that children should take good care of their old parents at home because of their responsibility and love (243 words)

Task 1: You have received an email from your father He asked you about your short training course overseas Read part of his email below.

… I’m still worried about your life in a foreign country What are some difficulties you have had? Can you overcome them? How about your short training course? …

I have to concentrate on my study My English is also improved a lot for I practice speaking it every day About my training course, I’ve learned a lot of knowledge and useful skills

Task 2: Read the following extract about children doing paid work.

Sample writing

Doing part-time jobs has become more and more common among students these days Some people believe that children at secondary school should be allowed to

do some paid work to understand how hard to earn money However, some others are against this point of view This essay will discuss both views of whether to allow secondary students to have paid work or not

That children at secondary level have a part-time job is supported for some reasons First of all, the children can learn a lot of social skills which are useful for their work later and which make them more confident Besides, they also have something to add to their CV when they apply for a job in the future Moreover, they know the value of the money they earn, so they do not spend it wastefully By the way, they can somewhat share the financial burden with their family

In contrast, some other people are against secondary students’ working to earn

money because they have their own arguments First, the children may be so keen

on working and earning money that they cannot concentrate on their study Second, they may not have enough time to complete all the assignments and homework They may not have time to take enough rest; so they may be easy to get sick Third, secondary students are not mature enough to protect themselves from bad

behaviors or evils if they work outside the school or home

In short, secondary students may have both benefits and problems when they take part in a paid work In my opinion, parents should allow their children to do part-time jobs if they want, but the parents should always keep an eye on their immature

children to make sure that everything is going well with the children (299 words)
