Trang 3Global warming essay
This global warming essay lesson is mostly about the need to vary your vocabulary when you write
This means thinking about the topic of the question of course but also thinking about what the question
asks you to do – i.e talk about causes etc
Read and understand the question – structuring the essay
Research shows that global warming is caused by human activity What are the possible
effects of climate change and what can governments and individuals do to reduce these?
This is a two part question To answer it, you must write about both
the causes of climate change
what can be done about it by both governments and individuals
The sensible approach is to use separate paragraphs for each point My essay below is divided into
two main topic paragraphs You could use three if you wanted to write a separate paragraph for
government and individual actions
Choosing the language
You should see that you need this language for the essay:
climate change vocabulary
cause and effect vocabulary
suggestion vocabulary
My suggestion is that you do not start writing too quickly but plan and think about what words you need
to use
See the vocabulary
Cause and effect vocabulary This is key area of language and you want to vary the word “effects” in
the question Look at the red words below to see how I do this You will find a lot more words on my
lesson cause and effect vocabulary
Climate change vocabulary This is the topic vocabulary of the essay If you need more, take a look
at my vocabulary lesson on this:
Suggestion language Don’t forget this You have options here too The mistake is to go “must”
“must” “must” English had lots of words for this Think of
Trang 4There is now little doubt that global warming and climate change are the result of human activity This
has happened because of a failure in environmental policy by governments and a lack of concern
for wasted energy by individuals.
It is almost universally accepted that climate change is the consequence of a number of environmental
failings Perhaps the most important of these is how fossil fuels such as gas and coal are still the
main source of power This is a problem because their use means that a large amount of CO2 is
released into the atmosphere causing t he greenhouse effect Another serious issue is how illegal
logging continues in rainforests and the Amazon Basin in particular It should also not be forgotten that
there is a connection between global warming and the inefficient use of energy by consumers in the
home.
While governments must take prime responsibility for reducing climate change, individuals too can play
a part Political leaders across the globe need to cooperate so that research into renewable forms of
energy such as wind and solar power is properly funded and the use of coal and gas in power
stations is phased out They must also of course ensure that regulations against logging are properly
enforced Consumers of energy can help by insulating their homes properly and using solar
panels where possible so that less energy is required and wasted These actions should limit the
amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and so reduce the greenhouse effect.
In conclusion, while global warming is a serious threat to humanity, there are a number of steps that
can be taken to reduce its effects

Trang 5People living alone essay
This sample essay is designed to show you one way an essay can fit together and become more
coherent This is an important part of your score and if you don’t really understand what it means I
suggest you check out t hi s le ss o n on c o he r en c e first:
Understand the question and structure your essay
The first step is to read and understand the question There are in fact two main questions here and
you need to answer both parts fully The logical approach here is to use a separate paragraph for each
part of the question
There is an increasing trend for people to live alone What is causing this to happen? Will it
have a negative or a positive impact on the society?
A brief introduction and conclusion
There are different ways you can write introductions and conclusions The ones in this essay are very
short and functional – this is a possible approach You should still make sure that:
Get the essay structure right
It is important that the separate parts of your essay fit together Look at the colour coding below and
see how the main paragraphs fit together To get this right you need to be able to w r i te c lea r t op i c
s en t en c e s
An increasing number of people are choosing to live by themselves My belief is that the changing
nature of the family is the root cause of this and that it will have an negative effect on society.
There are two main ways in which changing family relationships are responsible for more people living
by themselves Perhaps the most significant of these is that not only has marriage become less
popular, but the rate of divorce has risen dramatically in the last 20 years This naturally leads to fewer
people sharing accommodation Another related factor is that there is a tendency for children to leave
home earlier than before This can have the effect of leaving a single parent living alone in the family
home and the child living in a bedsit in another town.
This phenomenon is likely to be harmful to society at two different levels At the personal level, there is
a clear risk that people living by themselves can become isolated and lonely because they live without
the daily support that a family can provide This is particularly the case with elderly people and the
divorced who are more at risk of depression, which is becoming an increasingly severe problem is
society Then on the social level, if fewer people are sharing accommodation, the housing shortage is
Trang 6My conclusion is that people living by themselves is strongly connected to new patterns in family
life a nd will cause harm
Organise your paragraphs too
The paragraphs within the essay also need to be organised See how both paragraphs are clearly
organised The topic sentence outlines that there are going to be two main points and then each point
is clearly introduced with a linking phrase

only likely to increase and this is a serious problem in our overcrowded towns and cities.
Using linking language – try this!
It’s also important that you link your sentences together One of the most effective ways to do this is
use “this” It is a very natural linking word and can help you avoid repetition See how it introduces
these sentences:

Quick notes on the essay structure
It is important that you discuss both points of view in your essay even if you decide one point of view is
better than the other The logical approach is to use one main paragraph for

suggest you do this
I also suggest that you use personal opinion phrases to make it clear that this is what you think Do not
feel that you can only use impersonal language
Read the healthcare for children essay
Some people say that parents should decide on what kind of medical care their children should
receive, while others believe that this is the state’s responsibility
Discuss both views and give your opinion
Although almost everyone agrees about the necessity to provide children with the best healthcare,
there is some dispute about whether parents or the government should decide what that care is My
own view is that while governments may adopt a general policy for children’s medical care, parents
should normally have the ultimate say
There are good grounds for arguing that the state should decide on the form of medical provision for
children One of these is that typically the state is better able to make informed decisions because it
has access to all the latest medical research Another is that occasionally there are epidemics in
schools and it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that illnesses should not be spread
unnecessarily In this case, it might justifiably order compulsory vaccination
Equally there is a very strong argument for allowing parents to decide on what care their children
receive This is because one extremely important principle is that everyone should have the right to
choose what care they receive For children who are too young to make their own choice, it is only
natural that their parents should make that decision for them This is particularly important for families
Trang 8In conclusion, I do accept that there are good reasons for the state to outline what care children should
receive, but parents should be able to have the last word particularly when religious principles are at
Trang 9IELTS recycling essay
This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can
Read the IELTS recycling essay
Almost everyone agrees that we should be training children to recycle waste to save the
Earth’s natural resources Some believe that it is parents who should teach their children to
recycle waste Others argue that school is the best place to teach do this Discuss both views
and give your own opinion
Most people would agree that young people need to be taught about the importance of recycling waste
products and packaging There is a difference of opinion, however, whether this should happen at
home or in schools In this essay, I will examine both points of view and then state my opinion
The argument in favour of teaching children at school about recycling is largely based around the idea
that children learn best at school This is because teachers have a natural authority over their pupils
who are used to learning from them and schools are a natural environment for learning Additionally,
the need for recycling could easily be included in the school curriculum in biology and geography
classes
There are two main reasons why people think parents taking responsibility for this training could be
more effective The first is that the majority of recycling takes place in the home and parents can
therefore more easily control the recycling habits of their children If, for example, parents see their
child put a recyclable bottle in the wrong bin, they can explain that it needs to go in another bin The
other very practical point is that often children spend more time at home than at school and so parents
may have more effect
My own view is that the best solution is for children to learn about recycling both at home and at
school In this way, they would learn about both the theory and the practice

IELTS technology and relationships essay
This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can
Read the technology and relationships essay
Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of
technology In what ways has technology affected personal relationships ? Has this become
a positive or negative development?
Advances in technology have without doubt influenced the way we communicate with each other in a
number of different ways While some of this change can have a negative influence on the we way
interact, my view is that overall modern technology typically improves communication in personal
relationships
It is clear that technology has changed the way we communicate in several respects Perhaps the
clearest example of this is that nowadays many people prefer to keep in touch to their friends and
relatives using applications and social networking sites like FaceTime, Skype and Facebook Another
way this change is evident is how the email and texting have almost completely replaced the letter as
the primary form of written communication Because these modern forms of communication are
typically much more convenient and instant, one result is that we can communicate more easily with
people who we do not see on a daily basis
I would argue that these innovations have mostly improved personal relationships The principal
benefit is that it just so much easier to stay in touch with people we might otherwise lose contact with
It is for example now very straightforward to keep in contact with friends from university who move to
different cities after they graduate and this means relationships last longer The only real drawback is
that sometimes people become so addicted to their online social networks that they stop
communicating with friends in the real world That, however, is a minor issue
My conclusion is therefore that new forms technological communication have in fact largely improved
human interaction because emails, texting and social networks enable us to maintain friendships which
might otherwise be lost

The IELTS salary essay
It is sometimes said that a high salary is the most important factor in choosing a job Do you
agree?
It is, of course, important for people to earn a sufficiently high salary to support their lifestyle This does
not mean, however, that the salary is the only point to be taken into consideration when choosing a
job Indeed, I would argue that there are a number of other factors that are equally significant.
The first point to consider is why it may be a mistake to place too much emphasis on the salary One
reason why this is so is that you may select a job that is well-paid but ultimately unsatisfying In this
case, you may spend 8 hours a day being unhappy Something else to be taken into account is that
highly-paid jobs tend to be stressful and involve long working hours For instance, many doctors have
a 60 hour working week and they often suffer from burn out early in their careers and wish they had
chosen a less stressful profession.
The other point to be taken into account is how other factors may matter more than the salary when
deciding on a job Indeed, most people would accept that the work environment is key to job
satisfaction If you are working alongside people you like and the atmosphere in the office is positive,
you are much more likely to be satisfied in your work Likewise, it is also critical that you actually enjoy
what you do For example, someone who is artistic is much more likely to be happy working for a low
salary teaching art than earning a fortune as a merchant banker.
In conclusion, I would say that the salary should be only one consideration in choosing a job and that
other factors such as job satisfaction and work environment are just as important.
(296 words)
Understand the essay structure
This is a very clearly structured essay that fully answers the question Note how simple and clear the
structure is
Introduction: identify the question and set out main idea
question: It is, of course, important for people to earn a sufficiently high salary to support their lifestyle.
main idea: This does not mean, however, that the salary is the only point to be taken into
consideration when choosing a job Indeed, I would argue that there are a number of other factors that
are equally significant.
Main body 1 – reasons why depending on a high salary is not a good idea
Note how the first/topic sentence clearly sets out the point of view This is then supported with two
reasons This is a well-developed argument
The first point is…
One reason why…
Something else to be taken into consideration….
Main body 2 – other factors that may be more or equally important
Note how this paragraph balances the first paragraph The first point – The other point: the examiner
immediately sees your essay structure in the first sentence
Trang 12Note how the arguments in this paragraph are supported with examples This is another way you
should develop paragraphs See also how I vary the language in my examples:
if
for example
Conclusion – restate the main idea in the introduction and give examples from the body
paragraph
The conclusion is brief That is fine Note though how it reflects the main idea in the introduction –
completing the essay It also uses some language from the body paragraphs to show the examiner
that it is a logical conclusion;
other factors such as job satisfaction and work environment are just as important.
Trang 13IELTS advertising essay
This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can
Read the IELTS advertising essay
Consumers are faced with increasing numbers of advertisements from competing companies
To what extent do you think are consumers influenced by advertisements? What measures can
be taken to protect them?
In today’s material world, we are inundated with various forms of advertising In my view, this can be
dangerous as it encourages us to spend without thinking and young people, in particular, need some
protection from it
The first point to make is that advertising does make us spend money we do not need to There are
nowadays so many different ways companies promote their products and services, ranging from
television commercials to simple flyers that we cannot escape it If, for example, you watch a football
match on television, you will see the logos of the tournament sponsors Likewise, if you watch the
latest blockbuster movie, very probably you will see a product placed in the film by some advertising
agency The volume of this advertising means that we, as consumers, tend to be profoundly influenced
by it and buy without thinking
It is not easy to decide how to regulate advertising Clearly, governments ought to restrict
advertisements for harmful products such as alcohol and tobacco They do not have the power,
however, to control other forms of advertising This means we need to use our common sense when
we go to the shops, and ask ourselves whether we really need to make that purchase Parents should,
however, ensure that young people are protected from too much exposure to advertising This can
mean simply explaining that it is not in fact necessary to buy the newest Xbox, or simply turning the
television off
My conclusion is that while we cannot escape advertising or its effects in the modern world, children
should be encouraged not to pay too much attention to it

IELTS international sporting events essay
This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can
13
Read the international sporting events essay
Many people want their country to host an international sporting event Others believe that
international sporting events bring more problems than benefits Discuss both views and state
your opinion.
There is frequently great competition to host international sporting events Not everyone, however,
believes that the price involved in hosting such events is worthwhile For me, this is an understandable
point of view and perhaps not every country should try and stage international sporting events
The major argument against hosting international sporting events is financial Typically, it can cost
several million pounds to build the arenas and modernise the infrastructure so that it can cater for the
athletes and the spectators This money, it is argued, would be better spent on welfare and education
programmes that provide direct support for the population Indeed, some governments have incurred
so much debt through hosting the Olympic Games that they have had to reduce spending on other
social programmes
While there is some merit in that argument, hosting sporting events does also bring significant benefits
First among these is the honour and prestige it brings to the host country because that country will
be the centre of the sporting world for the duration of the event For many people this is beyond any
price More than that, if the authorities plan carefully, they can use the occasion of the sporting
event to help finance public works that benefit the whole population in the long term For example, the
village for the athletes can be transformed into public housing and the various stadia can be used to
build a sporting legacy for future generations
My own view is that it is an honour for a country to host a major sporting event However, if a
government wishes to bid for an international event to be staged in its country, it should ensure it has
sufficient funds to maintain spending on other projects

IELTS exams and continuous assessment essay
This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can
Read the exams and continuous assessment essay
Some people believe that exams are an inappropriate way of measuring students’ performance
and should be replaced by continuous assessment Do you agree or disagree with this view?
There is some dispute whether the best method of assessing students is to use examinations or some
form of continuous assessment This is a complex issue and my belief is that there is probably no one
method that applies to all educational systems.
There are three major arguments in favour of retaining exams One is that they provide a clear and
objective measure of what students have learned, whereas any form of continuous assessment
is probably going to be far more subjective An additional point is that testing tends to be an excellent
way of motivating learners to study harder and to reward the students who do best Likewise,
examinations test the ability of students to work under pressure, and this is a vital life skill for their later
careers.
On the other hand, there are still occasions when it can be better to relieve the students of exam
pressure and to measure their abilities through continuous assessment This is particularly the case in
lower age groups where young children can be affected negatively by stress and under-perform in
exams It can also be argued that continuous assessment is a more effective way of testing some
subjects such as design and technology, which are more creative and less academic A further point is
that often continuous assessment can allow teachers to reward students who work hard, but who may
be less able and not do well in more formal testing.
In conclusion, while continuous assessment may be fairer in some contexts, there are still times when
traditional exams may be more appropriate A possible compromise would be to use both forms of
testing together, allowing teachers to reward both ability and hard work.

IELTS computer technology essay

Read the IELTS computer technology essay
We are becoming increasingly dependent on computer technology It is used in business,
crime detection and even to fly planes What will it be used for in future? Is this dependence
on technology a good thing or should we be suspicious of its benefits?
As we move into the twenty-first century, it is clear to see that we have become more and more
dependent on computers and information technology This technology now reaches into almost every
area of our lives and it is easy to predict that this phenomenon is only going to grow My personal
belief is that this presents a variety of dangers
It is highly likely that in the future there will be comparatively few aspects of our lives that will not be
influenced by computer technology The probability is that it will control more and more forms of
communication, transforming fields such as education and business when video-conferencing
platforms become more stable It might even affect romance with more people forming relationships
online
While there may be benefits to this technological revolution, there are also a number of potential
dangers Perhaps the most serious of these would be that if people rely on computers too much for
communication, they could in fact begin to communicate less well For example, if every member of a
family had their own computer screen and smart phone, they might speak less and less often to one
another and simply look at a screen This would be serious because our ability to communicate is an
essential part of our humanity
My conclusion is that the growth of computer technology is inevitable, but that this may not be
entirely positive Just one area in which it is possible to foresee dangers is communication, and if we
are going to ensure that computers do not become a negative influence, we need to think carefully
how we use them

IELTS youth crime essay
This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons You can
The youth crime essay
In recent years, there has been a considerable rise in crimes committed by young people in
cities.
What has caused this? What solutions can you suggest?
The rise of crime among young people is an urgent problem in many cities that needs to be addressed
However, in order to find a solution, it is first of all necessary to understand what has led to this
happening In this essay, I first of all examine the reasons for the rise in youth crime, then I suggest
how this problem may be resolved
Perhaps the principal cause of this rise in youth crime is the increased use of drugs and alcohol among
young people Many cities suffer from the phenomenon of binge drinking by teenagers who lose
control under the influence of alcohol and commit crimes For instance, it is a common sight on the
streets of Britain to see fights breaking out outside pubs and clubs Similarly, there is a clear
connection between drug abuse among the young and crime It is still unfortunately the case that
young people frequently see drugs as cool and become addicted It is a common
occurrence for these addicts to resort to petty theft in order to pay for their habit
There are a variety of potential ways of combatting this problem One possibility that is sometimes
suggested is a much stricter system of penalties and punishments to deter young people from a life of
crime That might work, but it would also be sensible to improve the system of education so that young
people were better informed about the dangers of drugs and alcohol This should have the effect
of dealing with the issues that cause youth crime in the first place
In conclusion, alcohol and drug abuse are among the primary reasons for the rise in young offenders
and if the authorities wish to tackle youth crime, one approach would be to educate the young more
effectively

IELTS globalisation essay
This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can
17
Read the IELTS globalisation essay
Differences between countries become less evident each year Nowadays, all over the world
people share the same fashions, advertising, brands, eating habits and TV channels Do the
advantages outweigh the disadvantages of this?
It is undoubtedly the case that the world today has become a global village One of the effects of this is
that increasingly people in all corners of the world are exposed to similar services and products and
adopt similar habits My view is that this is largely a beneficial process and in this essay I will explain
why
The first point to make is that there are some downsides to this process of cultural globalisation, but
these are relatively minor The most significant of these disadvantages is that it can weaken national
culture and traditions For example, if people watch films and television programmes produced in the
United States, sometimes they adopt aspects of the lifestyle of the American characters they see on
television Typically, however, this only affects minor details such as clothing and does not seriously
threaten national identity
When we turn to the other side of the argument, there are two major points to make in favour of this
process The first of these is that the more we share habits, products and services, the better we
understand each other and this reduces prejudice against other nations The other point relates to
modernity It is a sign of progress in a society that people no longer are restricted to brands and
advertisements from their own society but are able to access more international goods If, for example,
there were unable to drink Coca Cola or wear Nike, then that would mean their society was not part of
the international community
In conclusion, I understand the point of view of people who worry about cultural globalisation because
it is a threat to national traditions However, this is outweighed by its positive impact on international
understanding and the fact that it represents progress within a society

IELTS traffic essay
This is one of my model IELTS essays lessons where you can
Read the IELTS traffic essay
In cities and towns all over the world the high volume of traffic is a problem What are
the causes of this and what actions can be taken to solve this problem?
It is undoubtedly the case that urban areas around the world increasingly suffer from congestion In
this essay, I examine the reasons for this trend and suggest some practical
policies the authorities could implement to reduce the level of traffic in our cities
The first step is to understand why traffic has increased in towns and cities Broadly speaking, there
are three main reasons for this One is that cars have become more affordable for the
average consumer and they are no longer a luxury item, but something that most families expect to
own A second reason is that public transport has become increasingly unreliable in recent years, not
least because many bus and train services have been reduced because of the difficulty
in funding them The third reason is that society has in general become more mobile and this means
more people are prepared to commute to work by car than they were before
There is almost certainly no one solution to this problem given the complexity of its causes
However, one option has to be to improve the reliability of public transport to encourage people to take
the bus or the train rather than get in the car It would also be possible to discourage people
from driving to work by introducing special tariffs for using the roads, especially during peak periods A
successful example of this is the congestion charge scheme in London which has certainly reduced
the level of trafficin inner-city areas
In conclusion, there are a variety of different factors that have led to rising levels of traffic in urban
areas While it may not be possible to find a complete solution, any action should
probably involve encouraging greater use of public transport and making it more expensive for the
motorist to drive in urban areas

Read the IELTS factory farms essay
In recent years, farming practice has changed to include methods such as factory farming and
the use of technology to improve crops Some people believe these developments are
necessary, while others regard them as dangerous and advocate a return to more traditional
farming methods Discuss both points of view and give your own opinion.
There is some controversy about how farming has been revolutionised in the past decades While it is
possible to claim that the net effect of these changes has been for the benefit of mankind, my view is
that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages In this essay, I shall explain my point of view by
analysing both sides of the argument.
There are several reasons why these innovations in agriculture can be said to be positive One is that
the world’s population has exploded within the past century and that traditional methods of agriculture
could not provide sufficient food for everyone It can also be argued that we need more efficient
methods of farming because many countries in Asia and Africa suffer regular famine and droughts and
the people would starve if it was not for genetically modified crops that are drought resistant It should
also not be forgotten that the quality of life of farmers has been improved by these advances which are
less labour intensive.
Those who argue for a return to smaller scale and more organic farming base their arguments on the
impact of agriculture on health and the environment Firstly, it is claimed that a variety of diseases
such as BSE, swine flu and bird flu were caused by conditions in factory farms and that organic food is
much healthier Then, there are concerns about the lack of research into how genetically modified
crops might affect the ecosystem for the worse.
While there are strong arguments on both sides of the case, my personal belief is that the long-term
dangers of these developments mean that we should be extremely cautious I suggest that there
should be more investment in traditional farming methods to make them more efficient and that there
should be stronger legislation to ensure that both factory farms and GM crops are safe.

Sample IELTS refugees essay

Read the IELTS refugees essay
One of the major problems facing the world today is the growing number of refugees The
developed nations in the world should tackle this problem by taking in more refugees To what
extent do you agree with this opinion?
There is little doubt that the issue of refugees is a global problem While it most immediately affects
developing nations, there is a strong argument that industrialised countries should help by allowing
higher levels of immigration This is certainly not an easy issue though, because
historically immigration has caused as many problems as it solves
The principal reason why developed nations should help is that we now live in a global village and it is
no longer possible to ignore what happens on the other side of the world This is partly a moral issue
and partly because it is in the economic self-interest of industrialised nations to ensure that developing
nations continue to progress A practical way of achieving this would be to accept more immigration,
particularly when it is caused by natural disasters or civil war
I would argue, however, that this is not an open and shut case, as there is a negative side to mass
immigration The multi-cultural experiments in Europe have not always succeeded and immigrants
have often suffered badly from racism and other prejudices On a practical level, refugees are
sometimes better off receiving aid in their native land than begging on the streets in a country where
they cannot speak the language Many so-called economic migrants end up returning to the country of
their birth
My personal conclusion is that developed nations should agree to take in more refugees, but only in
restricted numbers and in extreme cases I also believe that there needs to be a global effort to provide
aid to solve the problems that cause emigration Prevention is as they say better than cure
