Is it a positive or negative development? NGUY N NG C BÁCH Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsngocbach/ 16 IELTS WRITING ACTUAL TESTS – JUNE - JULY – AUGUST - 2017 _ Sample: In some parts of the world it is becoming popular to research the history of one’s own family Why might people want to this? Is it a positive or negative development? Exploring one’s family background and history is becoming increasingly popular in numerous countries around the world In my opinion, through research and knowing more about one’s family, people can see common trends passed through generations which can only be seen as beneficial for people’s future Firstly, some people look into their family history in order to discover any common trends with family members of a previous generation This can be especially so with people who have particular skills, gifts or interests in uncommon fields In other words, as some gifts and skills are hereditary, it can be interesting for people to learn how many others in their family shared these talents from previous generations Another reason for the popularity of finding out about one’s family history is often due to general curiosity of one’s geographical origins That is to say, some families moved abroad, away from their own country, generations ago which resulted in them losing their original culture and adopting the culture of the country they moved to Therefore, through research, people can learn more about their country of origin and understand more about the culture that their family originally came from Finally, the trend of researching family history is certainly beneficial and can help people find their place in the world Some people feel a lack of direction in life or are dislocated from others but by learning more about their past family history, it can help them relate to the world and feel more comfortable about who they are Take, for example, a person who feels nervous about making a certain choice in life, they may feel comforted by knowing that others in their family made the same choice many generations ago In conclusion, it can be advantageous for people to learn more about the family’s background and origins It would be useful for children to learn about their own family history, if this was incorporated into the school curriculum (www.ieltsliz.com) NGUY N NG C BÁCH Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsngocbach/ 17 IELTS WRITING ACTUAL TESTS – JUNE - JULY – AUGUST - 2017 _ The pie chart below shows the class size in primary (elementary) schools in four states in Australia in 2010 NGUY N NG C BÁCH Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ieltsngocbach/ 18 IELTS WRITING ACTUAL TESTS – JUNE - JULY – AUGUST - 2017 _ In many cities, planners tend to arrange shops, schools, offices, and homes in specific areas and separate them from each other Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
