Essay Plan:  Introduction: refer to the task question My opinion: fully agree  Paragraph 2: reading stimulates imagination more than watching TV Reading a book uses one’s own imagination – contrast TV with its ready-made images Example: Robinson Crusoe  Paragraph 3: reading develops language skills – extends vocabulary People learn new words and different ways to use familiar words Contrast TV – images pass on the screen and are instantly forgotten  Conclusion: fully agree that reading for pleasure develops imagination and language skills more than watching TV Essay: It is true that some people believe that reading for pleasure develops both imagination and language skills, in contrast to the passive activity of watching TV While a minority a viewers watch informative TV programmes, such as documentaries, I completely agree with the arguments in favour of the benefits of reading Firstly, in terms of the development of creativity, works of literary fiction stimulate the human imagination Reading bedtime stories to children, or reading some well-written work of literature, everyone can broaden their literary horizons Whereas TV presents audiences with ready-made images, reading stories forces readers to use their own imagination They might, for example, picture themselves shipwrecked on a deserted island, like Robinson Crusoe Because they have created that personal image for themselves, it is stronger and + Thông tin lớp offline tháng 8/2019: https://ieltsngocbach.com/offline + Thông tin lớp online Package tháng 8/2019: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package more durable than an image which is not their own, but which is manufactured and ready to consume Secondly, from the perspective of language skills, specialists in linguistics argue that reading extends vocabulary, as well as developing critical thinking An important part of literary appreciation is to recognize not only new words, but also to notice the choice and use of words which are familiar There are no distracting images on screens, so when readers are engrossed in a book written by a literary genius, they can focus on the aesthetic qualities of the language In contrast, although it is possible to play back a TV recording, words and images are invariably heard and seen in an instant Then, they pass and are instantly forgotten, whereas it is easy to read over passages in a book In conclusion, I fully agree with those who argue that reading encourages imagination and develops vocabulary, which sitting in front of a TV will never 291 words Vocabulary from The Arts:  works of

that the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages? Essay Plan:  Introduction: refer to the task question My opinion – the disadvantages outweigh the advantages  Paragraph 2: the advantages – many people can now enjoy visiting places where only a few people could afford to visit before  Paragraph 3: the disadvantages (1) environmental costs – air travel and pollution, tourist infrastructure and environmental damage (2) overcrowding as holiday destinations become more popular  Conclusion: the disadvantages outweigh the advantages – environmental damage and overcrowding Essay: It is true that it is now less expensive to travel to other countries than it was in the past New travel destinations appear in tourist brochures to attract visitors from abroad While there are advantages, I believe that these are outweighed by the disadvantages of these trends On the one hand, international travel has experienced phenomenal growth, and many people can now enjoy exploring places which in the past only the rich could visit After all, many people on limited incomes have a thirst for seeing far-off destinations, and this should not only be the privilege of wealthy people For example, many Asian countries now welcome foreign visitors who can book an affordable package holiday to experience the holiday of a lifetime More and more people are able to go sightseeing along the Great Wall of China, discover the temples of

https://ieltsngocbach.com/package beach in Malaysia So, now the many can enjoy experiences that in past only a few could afford On the other hand, there are two major disadvantages associated with these developments Firstly, the green movement argues convincingly that there are environmental costs of the growth in international travel It is necessary to fight climate change, but air travel pollutes the atmosphere, and the construction of new airports and tourist facilities such as hotels and roads inevitably results in habitat destruction Secondly, international travel destinations are

examinations Skills such as cookery, dressmaking and woodwork should not be taught at school as it is better to learn these from family and friends To what extent you agree or disagree? Essay Plan:  Introduction: refer to the task question My opinion: completely disagree  Paragraph 2: first reason – only a few students will reach the top in academic subjects They will get the few good jobs, while the others will fail, and this will affect their whole future  Paragraph 3: second reason – not all children have a supportive family to teach these essential life skills – examples: single-parent families, working mothers If they not learn to cook, DIY or sew – as adults they will spend more on food and new clothes  Conclusion: totally disagree – schools must teach these life skills Essay: It is true that many people believe that schools should only teach academic subjects and prepare students for formal exams I disagree completely with this view, and I would argue that teaching practical life skills is essential Firstly, it is a mistake to tailor teaching strategies to the narrow focus of academic subjects and exam success It is impossible for every student to pursue a successful career with fantastic job prospects in fields such as finance, medicine, law or education All of these demand academic skills, but the job market for these professions is relatively small Those who fail their exams will consider themselves as failures Such negative feelings will inevitably shape a child’s personality and values during their formative years Only a few students who are high-flyers will succeed and enjoy the material rewards of their academic success Secondly, while children need to acquire practical skills, there may be no family or friends to help them Consider, for example, single-parent households, with no father to teach DIY skills, or households in which working mothers have no time to teach children to cook or sew There are, too, many dysfunctional families in which, for whatever reasons, parental involvement in bringing up their offspring is almost completely absent Yet children need to learn these domestic skills, and the only place for many of them to this is in school Otherwise, when they enter adult life, they will rely on expensive ready meals or on buying new clothes and furniture when all that is needed is a simple repair + Thông tin lớp offline tháng 8/2019: https://ieltsngocbach.com/offline + Thông tin lớp online Package tháng 8/2019: https://ieltsngocbach.com/package 15 In conclusion, I totally disagree with
