Cambridge 8, Test 2, Writing Task 2.

It is my example answer for Writing Task 2 on Cambridge 8 IELTS book.

"Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology.
In what ways has technology affected the types of relationships people make?
Has this become a positive or negative development?"


My example answer:

It is widely accepted that technology has a direct impact on modern life. Although it has changed positively the ways of connections between people, I believe there are some drawbacks in using of some technological innovations.
In fact, it is impossible to think of our daily life without mobile phones or internet. If people connected each others with mails, pigeon-post or herald in the remote past, nowadays they use electron mails or fax machines for same purpose. Teachers send reports to parents about their children's activities at school. In addition, video messaging is becoming common for business meetings.
There are some reasons why I think that technoogy affected us favourably. The main reason is that it gives us instant access to connect people without depending on distances. I want to give example from my own experience. When I was studying abroad, sometimes I felt homesick. Then I talked with my family on the Internet by using Video Calls programme, so it gave me a feeling of happiness. Another reson is that people can keep in touch with relatives by email or some messenger services and they can also share their pictures or video messages on social websites with their friends.
In my opinion, technology has some negative effects us. Firstly, it builts a barrier for people's relationships between in their real life and social life. Therefore, they tend to limit keep in touch by mobile phones or online. Secondly, our communicative habitats are changed by technology. For instance, before people discussed about something by meeting at public places like restaurants, cafes, book clubs, but now there are lots of forum websites and they usually debate on the Internet.
In conclusion, I support that technology makes easier our relationship with others in spite of some negative fedbacks.

Cambridge 9, Test 2, Writing Task 2.


The topic below from Cambridge 9 IELTS book:

Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsary part of high school programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood or teaching sports to younger children).
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is my task 2 answer for the topic:

It is thought that  voluntary activities must be included in high school curriculum as one of the most essential part. I completely agree with the statement that students should get profitable experiences by working as a volunteer.
There are several reasons why I believe that young people are able to benefit  from doing unpaid works. Firstly, such activities prepare them to be a productive member of society. As a result, it reduces criminal incidents amoung the youth. Secondly, they  get practical skills and useful experiences at community works for their future career path and learn to stand on their feet. Another reason is that I think that such programmes also increase young people's sense of community.
In my opinion, volunteering is the perfect way for students to discover something they are really good at and develop a new skill at early. In addition, it is also a great opportunity  to built a rich relationship between young people and elders. From envorimental perspective, some volunteer activities help preserve the environment from air pollution, industrial wastes and etc. There's no doubt that nowadays some students waste their time on worthless activities. If high school make them turns to community works as a volunteer, it helps them effectivly spend their worth time on what is profitable for them.
In conclusion, I really support that unpaid community activities should be a important part of programmes in high school.
