SUGGESTED ANSWER Identifying the essay type: Direct-question Structuring the essay: INTRODUCTION - Sentence 1: Introduce the given topic about changes in the - Sentence 2: Answer the two question directly and clearly BODY: - types of relationships Paragraph 1: changes in the type of relationships Long-distance communication Cyber-relationships Paragraph 2: Positve + negative Convenience Cyber-addiction CONCLUSION - Restate my opinion ZIM ACADEMY | Room 2501, Ocean Group Building, 19 Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan Dist, Hanoi Sample answer Technological progress has considerably reshaped how people communicate in the modern world Technology has changed relationships in various ways and those could be seen as both positive and negative There are several newly-emerged patterns of communication as a result of technological advances New lines of smart phones and numerous online websites, Myspace for example, have made long-distance calls possible, which ameliorates communication across different countries, or even continents People not have to travel to other nations for meetings, especially business meetings with foreign counterparts, thanks to the help of technology Furthermore, the number of cyber-relationships has accelerated considerably for the past few years Instead of traditional face-to-face interaction with fellow friends at schools, young students nowadays are somehow too engrossed in making friends on Facebook, or in some cases, show disinterest in real life relationships Such analyzed changes could be considered a sign of progression and negativity at the same time There is little doubt about the convenience of long-distance communication This is because it facilitates the process of keeping in touch with family members, relatives and also business partners who live far away, which is impossible with the limited technology in the past However, the shortcomings should not be underestimated as good things are usually accompanied by their own flaws The inevitibility of cyber-addiction to virtual communication could be the price as young people are much vulnerable to new tempting applications This could lead to not only negligene on study but also health deterioration like short-sight or autism In conclusion, both negative and positive aspects could be anticipated from the emergence of new types of relationships which have appeared as a consequence of technological modernization (276 words) ZIM ACADEMY | Room 2501, Ocean Group Building, 19 Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan Dist, Hanoi Useful vocabulary: - Newly-emerged patterns of communication: Những phương thức giao tiếp xuất - Ameliorates communication: Làm cho giao tiếp trở nên tốt - Cyber-relationships: Những mối quan hệ ảo Traditional face-to-face interaction: Tương tác trực tiếp Show disinterest in real life relationships: Không hứng thú với mối quan hệ thực tế A sign of progression and negativity at the same time: Dấu hiệu phát triển tiêu cực lúc The inevitibility of cyber-addiction: Sự không tránh việc nghiện công nghệ Health deterioration like short-sight or autism: Giảm sức khỏe cận thị tự kỉ ZIM ACADEMY | Room 2501, Ocean Group Building, 19 Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan Dist, Hanoi CAMBRIDGE IELTS – TEST Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems To what extent you agree or disagree? What other measures you think might be effective? SUGGESTED ANSWER Identifying the essay type: Opinion essay Structuring the essay: INTRODUCTION - Sentence 1: Introduce the given topic about changes in the - Sentence 2: Clearly state my opinion (disagree and other BODY: - types of relationships measures) Paragraph 1: reasons why I disagree Time and safety Social disagreement Paragraph 2: alternatives Restriction on the use of cars Encouraging cycling CONCLUSION - Restate my opinion ZIM ACADEMY | Room 2501, Ocean Group Building, 19 Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan Dist, Hanoi Sample answer It is believed that traffic and pollution issues would be best tackled by higher prices of gas In my opinion, this idea is completely flawed and there are several reasonable alternatives Clearly the price of fuel has little to with pressing problems of traffic and pollution The inevitable demand for time-saving and safe travelling in the modern world makes the change in price of gas become rather insignificant, which proves the ineffectiveness of the given policy In other words, even if the price were increased, people would still travel on a daily basis and the problems of traffic and pollution would stay unsolved Additionally, this solution could easily trigger social disagreement and resentment This, coupled with the reluctance of using expensive fuel to travel everyday, could be counter-productive and this proposed idea would become irrelevant On the other hand, alternatives to increased price of petrol show greater effectiveness First, the government could implement certain regulations restricting the use of private vehicles such as cars and turn people to using public transportation This would relieve many roads from heavy traffic by reducing the number of vehicles, which in return alleviates the problem of pollution caused by exhaust Second, cycling which proves environmentally friendly should be more encouraged in major cities At the same time, separate zones for cyclists should be created to avoid the overload of traffic in the rush hour when the number of vehicles might exceed the road’s capacity In conclusion, I believe that heightening the price of fuel used for travelling to address traffic and pollution problems is somewhat absurd; and that some other methods should be carried out Useful vocabulary: (272 words) - For time-saving and safe travelling: Để di chuyển cách an toàn tiết kiệm thời - The ineffectiveness of the given policy: Sự khơng hiệu sách gian ZIM ACADEMY | Room 2501, Ocean Group Building, 19 Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan Dist, Hanoi - The problems of traffic and pollution would stay unsolved: Những vấn đề giao - Relieve many roads from heavy traffic: Giảm nhẹ lưu thông - thông ô nhiễm giải To alleviate the problem of pollution caused by exhaust: Giảm nhẹ vấn đề ô nhiễm gây nên khí thải 10 ZIM ACADEMY | Room 2501, Ocean Group Building, 19 Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan Dist, Hanoi CAMBRIDGE IELTS – TEST In some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing What you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them? SUGGESTED ANSWER Identifying the essay type: Causes and solutions Structuring the essay: INTRODUCTION - Sentence 1: Introduce the given topic about changes in the - Sentence 2: Answer the two question directly and clearly BODY: - types of relationships Paragraph 1: causes The consumption of fast food Lack of exercise Paragraph 2: solutions Higher taxes Social awareness CONCLUSION - Restate my opinion 11 ZIM ACADEMY | Room 2501, Ocean Group Building, 19 Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan Dist, Hanoi Sample answer There is a difference of opinions regarding the correlation between people’s increased weight and deteriorating health In my view, the causes of this are varied and there are several practical solutions to such a problem There are two main underlying causes of overweight and health deterioration Firstly, highsugar diets cause numerous diseases such as diabettes and obesity The excessive consumption of fast food, especially when fast food producers such as KFC or McDonald are dominating the Western market, is taking its toll on consumers’ weight and health Secondly, the lack of exercise to maintain a strong body due to occupational aspects complements the adverse effects of unreasonable diets on people This is the main reason for back pain and blood pressure among modern individuals who lead a sedentary lifestyle, designers for example Some feasible remedies could be carried out to tackle the said problem Higher taxes should be imposed on fast food to stall the expansion of fast food producers Consumers would be those who bear the increased taxes which would be certainly added to the price of their food, which gradually discourages them to purchase such a type of food Additionally, social awareness of the severity of little regular exercise should be heightened This could be executed by propagation on TV programs which would be possible if sponsored by governments or even individual companies In the end, people would understand the importance of exercise to their weight and health and try to balance their work with physical training In conclusion, there are several explanations for people’s overweight and health degradation, and governmental involvement is crucial to remedy such a problem (271 words) Useful vocabulary: 12 - Overweight and health deterioration: Thừa cân sức khỏe giảm sút - The excessive consumption of fast food: Sự tiêu thụ nhiều thức ăn nhanh - High-sugar diets: Chế độ ăn nhiều đường Lead a sedentary lifestyle: Có lối sống vận động ZIM ACADEMY | Room 2501, Ocean Group Building, 19 Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan Dist, Hanoi - Stall the expansion of fast food producers: Làm chậm phát triển nhà - To balance their work with physical training: Cân công việc với rèn luyện sức - sản xuất thức ăn nhanh khỏe Remedy such a problem: Giải vấn đề 13 ZIM ACADEMY | Room 2501, Ocean Group Building, 19 Nguyen Trai, Thanh Xuan Dist, Hanoi ...
