IELTS Academic Writing Task - II-IELTS Band 7.0-CEFR C1

IELTS Academic Writing Task - II

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

As most people spend a major part of their adult life at work, job satisfaction is an important element of individual well-being. What factors contribute to job satisfaction? How realistic is the expectation of job satisfaction for all workers?

Give reasons for your answer and give any relevant example or experience you have to support your answer.

You should write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

It is a human tendency that everyone wants to get an excellent employment mostly after completing their university and college and looks for such job which can provide financial security and happiness in life. Therefore, job satisfaction, which can be derived based on person’s likeness and earnings, is an important element of any work.

First of all, if a person is to like any work, the job needs to have several characteristics such as good salary and bonuses, sufficient hours for rest, healthy workplace and environment, job security and involvement of light physical activities. Ideally, the job should have a scope of work where an employee is given freedom of execution. Importantly, such jobs should also commensurate the monthly payouts to give satisfaction to its holders.

With respect to the issue of satisfactory jobs to all employees, it is unlikely that everyone becomes happy with the work he gets. It is important to note that we don’t live and work in an ideal work. The unemployment rate is so high around the world that a well qualified person may have to engage in a work which cannot provide any real satisfaction. However, given the situation, the person may not have any other possibility except to accept such employment. For example, many mine workers are unlikely to enjoy their work in deep, dark and dusty quarry but circumstances are such that they end up working there all their lives. Similar would be the case of many international students working in a café or in a bar to cover their tuition fees.

To sum up, many factors such as good salary and safe work environment contribute to job satisfaction. People would definitely choose a workplace where they enjoy working. However, it is not always possible to provide ideal job to everyone. So, many men and women are compelled to do any work to support their families despite the lack of job satisfaction.

IELTS Academic Writing Task - II - IELTS Essay-Academic IELTS Band 7-CEFR C1

IELTS Academic Writing Task - II

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Some people think that history as a subject at school is not useful and should be replaced with a more practical subject. Why do you think it is important to learn about history? What would be the effect if children were not taught history?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant example from your knowledge or experience.

You should write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer:

Across the world, there is no dearth of people who consider that teaching history at educational institution is unproductive and is a waste of resources. The people who advocate such ideas are of the opinion that schools and colleges should impart education on such subjects which have more practical use. Nevertheless, my opinion on the subject is that we must teach history to our children. Therefore, we cannot do away with this subject.

First of all, history helps us to find our roots and connects us with our past which will be very helpful to young learners to shape their views of the modern world. If history is not taught in our schools and universities, people will not get any opportunity to view the contemporary world with the help of past events. In some cases, not teaching history can actually lead to a situation where students fail to fully comprehend the happenings around them. For example, why a country needs a strong army could possibly be best explained on the basis of historical facts and figures. Therefore, study of historical events is very significant from the viewpoint of understanding modern world.

In addition to it, if history subject is replaced with another course, students may be burdened with unnecessary knowledge in another subject. The likely consequences of it could range from lack of interests among students to defective education systems. When students who have not studied history go to work in international forums, they may face several challenges. For example, without learning world history, no one can be expected to be able to work smoothly in the UN.

To sum up, modern schools should not think of removing history subject from their curriculum. Any such move is likely to have unintended consequences such as lack of interests among students in their course of study.

IELTS Academic Writing Task - II

Some people say children use technology too much these days. Others believe that using technology now will help them in the future. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant example from your knowledge or experience.

You should write at least 250 words.

Many people seem to have a common opinion when it comes to use of technology by young people. There are arguments in support of it and against it as there are equally overwhelming number of people on either side of the argument. In my opinion, children should be allowed to make use of technology on daily life as it helps them to be creative in a long run.

First of all, many parents are worried that children are not focusing on their study but are busy in browsing internet or in games on mobiles and tablets. It cannot be denied that excessive use of technology can affect their studies. For example, a child who plays a lot on his mobile or on tablet is likely to miss deadline for his homework and assignments. If such situations continue, it is a matter to worry as it can have negative consequences.

On the other hand, there are many guardians who give their children the liberty to make use of modern technology. Such parents encourage children to utilize technology not only for play and fun but also in studies. Sometimes, parents take their time out and assist their sons and daughters to find out new educational programs and websites. Such parents hold the view that the technology is very important to succeed in the future and their children need to have necessary skill and experience for their prosperous future. My parents, for example, always allow and encourage my brother to search for new mobile applications, which help him to write better English composition.


To sum up, though there are parents with different approach to technological advances, it is my view that technology is going to be an integral part of our life and of future generation. Therefore, it is recommended that parents guide their children to make effective use of modern technologies in their daily activities.

IELTS Academic Writing Task - II - Sample Essay IELTS Band 6.5 - CEFR B2

IELTS Academic Writing Task - II

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Crime rates tend to be higher in cities than in smaller towns. Explain some possible reasons for this problem and suggest some solutions.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant example from your knowledge or experience.

You should write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer

Our cities are overcrowded with people from different backgrounds and provide an opportunity for people with all intentions. One of the impacts of high population in cities can be seen in the rates of crimes. In my view, we can safely state that the high costs of living and the lack of proper law and order in the cities are the main causes of crimes in the big towns.

First of all, villages are small and very few people live there these days. The daily requirement of material things in the countryside is also very low. The costs of living such as rent, costs of transportation are much less in village than in cities. I think this explains why fewer crimes are committed in the villages.

On the other hand, people settle down in cities with a lot of hopes and ambitions. They have to struggle daily to meet the basic needs of their families. This means that there will be high financial burden on the people. To meet such challenges, people resort to financial crimes, for instance, corruption, bribery, theft, and robbery in villages. To solve such problems, government needs to enhance the police administration, install cameras on the streets and with the offices. Such measures are likely to help to reduce these crimes to certain extent.

Another reason of people mainly youth committing crime is lack of moral principle due to the reason that they are far from their parents and families. Many youths come to city and live alone. They are likely to meet some anti-social elements such as drug dealers, and smugglers. Young minds are likely to be attracted to such crimes to quickly be rich and powerful. This problem can be solved by constant moral counseling.


To sum up, the pressure of cost of living, and tendency to be affluent in short time induces people to commit crimes in cities and the solutions to tackle them could be the strengthening of law and order situation.

In some countries, governments are encouraging people to use their cars less and to take public transport instead. Do the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant example from your knowledge or experience.

You should write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer

There are many government initiatives across the world to control the environmental pollution and one of such initiatives is promotion of public transportation. In my opinion, such efforts do not have many advantages and in fact, its shortcomings are much more than few benefits that we may have.

First of all, the advantages of encouraging the use of public transportation are less consumption of fossil fuels and congestion on the road. However, these positives consequences are negligible if a comparison is made between merits and demerits of public transportation. If people stop using their cars and taxis, then, there will be enormous pressure on the government to provide public transportations such as buses, metros and trams. This will certainly put a financial pressure on the government. There is a possibility that the government may be compelled to allocate fewer budgets on health and education, and more on transportation segment. Such scenario will have serious and deleterious consequences.

Another serious outcome of not using cars is that workers have to get up early, and leave home much early in the morning to catch the suitable means of transport to reach the office on time. This will disturb the normal day of every human resources. Since public vehicles will stop at multiple locations before reaching one’s destination, a lot of man hours are wasted while commuting from home and from work. Similar would be the case when an employee returns from work in the evening. Since the travelling with many large crowds creates fatigue, the quality of works also gets affected due to it.


In my conclusion, I would like to state that any benefit that may accrue from the use of public transportation is likely to be insignificant as the disadvantages are too many to neglect.

Many children these days have an unhealthy lifestyle. Both schools and parents are equally responsible for solving this problem.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant example from your knowledge or experience.

You should write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer 

We cannot deny the fact that many school going children these days eat unhygienic food. In my opinion, the problem is caused mainly by lack of attendance at home and in school. Therefore, I agree that the family as well as the school administration should share the blame and do to improve the situation.

First of all, it is the responsibility of our family to teach the importance of healthy and hygienic food to their sons and daughters from their childhood. Every child should be made aware of the positive and negative consequences of eating good and bad food. In addition to it, parents should find time to prepare and provide nutritious food to their kin and kith. At present, the parents do not have enough time to spend with their children. Because of the heavy workload or being out of the home most of the time, parents are unable to cook and feed healthy dishes to their children. This has created havoc in the health of child.

On the other hand, school administration should step in such situations to avoid the problem. Since many young boys and girls spend a lot of time at school, health education should be made part of their curriculum. The teachers can closely observe the students and will be able to identify the children at risks due to unhealthy eating habits. Schools, for instance, can create a concept of mid-day meals, and provide healthy and nutritious diet to their students. In my opinion, by doing so, schools will help to resolve the problem to certain extent.


To sum up, I would like to restate my opinion by emphasizing the fact that both family and learning centers should play its part to mitigate the damage caused by unhealthy food consumption.

Tips for the Reading test - part 1-IELTS Material from Nepal-Reading Section in IELTS in Nepal

Tips for the Reading test - part 1  

In the Reading test you’ll see a number of different question types. Let’s look at some of those question types and talk about the best way to approach them.

Multiple choice

You’ve seen this type of question on this course. Read the question carefully. Sometimes you have to choose one correct answer, sometimes you have to choose more than one answer from a list. Usually, all the choices of answer will be mentioned somewhere in the text. Read carefully to eliminate the answers until you have the correct one.

Look at this example:

Here’s a paragraph from the text:

The average urban resident, for example, rouses at the eye-blearing time of 6.04 a.m., which researchers believe to be far too early. One study found that even rising at 7.00 a.m. has deleterious effects on health unless exercise is performed for 30 minutes afterward. The optimum moment has been whittled down to 7.22 a.m.; muscle aches, headaches and moodiness were reported to be lowest by participants in the study who awoke then.

And here’s the question:

What did researchers identify as the ideal time to wake up in the morning? 
B 7.00 
C 7.22 
D 7.30

From the text we know that 6:04 is ‘far too early’. 7:00 has ‘deleterious effects on health’ - a negative impact. 7:22 is ‘the optimum moment’ and 7:30 isn’t mentioned - although 30 minutes of exercise is. So the answer is C - the ‘optimum moment’

True / False / Not given

For many students, the difficulty here is spotting the difference between ‘False’ and ‘Not given’. Sometimes this means ignoring what you think and just concentrating on what the text actually tells you. Look at these examples:

Here’s the text:

Bookkeeping 
This course will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of bookkeeping and a great deal of hands-on experience. 
Code B/ED020 
19th April 9am–2.30pm (one session only so advance bookings essential) 
Cost $250

And here are the questions:

Q Bookkeeping has no practical component. 
Q Bookkeeping is intended for advanced students only.

The first sentence is FALSE because we know that the course has ‘hands-on experience’. The second sentence is NOT GIVEN because nothing in the text tells us about the level of the course.

Yes / No / Not given

This is similar to True/False/Not given – you have to identify the views of the writer. Look at an example:

This is the text:

Helium is even cheerfully derided as a “loner” element since it does not adhere to other molecules like its cousin, hydrogen. According to Dr. Lee Sobotka, helium is the “most noble of gases, meaning it’s very stable and non-reactive for the most part … it has a closed electronic 12 configuration, a very tightly bound atom. It is this coveting of its own electrons that prevents combination with other elements’. Another important attribute is helium’s unique boiling point, which is lower than that for any other element.

And here are the questions:

Q Helium chooses to be on its own. 
Q Helium is a very cold substance.

For the first sentence, we know that helium is ‘a loner’ so, YES, the author thinks helium likes to be on its own. We learn too that helium has a low boiling point but we don’t know whether or not it’s very cold so the answer is NOT GIVEN.

The graph below shows the amount in grams of potatoes, pasta and rice eaten in a European country between 1976 and 2006.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.



Model Answer:

The graph chart shows the consumption quantity of potatoes, pasta and rice in a European state during the period of 30 years from 1976 to 2006. Overall, it is seen that the proportion of potatoes in a weekly diet has greatly reduced in the span of 30 years whereas intake of pasta has substantially increased during the same time period.

In 1976, the consumption of potatoes stood at the highest among the three food items. More than 400 grams of potatoes were consumed by a person in a week. Pasta was the least eaten product in that year (About 270 grams per person per week).
Initially until around 1986, potatoes were the most sought after food products. However, this trend got reversed and people started eating less amounts of potatoes thereafter. Especially after 1991, there was a steep decline of quantity of potatoes forming part of diet and in 2006; it was at the bottom position (little more than 100 grams per person per week).

In contrast to this trend, people started consuming more quantity of pasta and its quantity on weekly meals continued to increase until 1996 (reaching 500 grams per human per week) and thereafter, it has stabilised.

It can also be seen that the consumption of rice was declining until 2000 and thereafter it slightly peaked up. However, its consumption in 2006 (around 200 grams per person per week) was much less than in 1976 (little more than 300 grams per person per week).

Should computers and tablets completely replace books in schools and universities?

Write an essay giving your opinion.

Computers, tablets and other modern advanced devices can be used in addition to textbooks in schools and universities as I do not believe that these modern tools can completely replace the traditional means of teaching.

First of all, tablets and computers may be ubiquitous but still are very expensive. Not all the students can afford it especially if they are from poor families. On the other hand, printed copy of text books, and references materials are much cheaper in comparison to computers and accessories.

Another drawback of having gadgets is that students may not be able to focus on a single task. There might be a temptation to play games online, or to watch videos instead of doing homework or revising lessons. Frequent shifting of tasks does not help in learning.

To conclude, the purpose of learning is not met unless the students have a good internet connection to make effective use of these gadgets. Unfortunately, high speed internet is beyond reach of many families in remote villages and in developing countries. Hence, instructions in a classroom should be based on printed books and articles.


How do you feel about birthdays? Do you think they are important? How would you choose to celebrate your birthday if you could do anything you wanted?

Write your autobiographical essay.

Birthdays are important milestone in our life as it reminds us an important day and event. Since a baby is born after a painful labor and a lot of care and love of a mother goes into it, I feel it is naturally significant day not only in a person's life whose birthday we celebrate but also in lives of close relatives. The birth of someone in a family is a moment of joy and happiness and it makes it even more significant to celebrate it.

I am no different than many others who would consider birthday as an important event. Since I have been brought in that environment where birthdays are regarded as sacred day, I think I am conditioned to think in this way.

For a minute, I would like to detach myself from the society and would like to give a serious thought on the necessity of celebration of birthday. On one hand, it is a customary practice to mark this day with dinner with close family and relatives. On the other, we sometimes need to question its purpose.

As I am not a natural extrovert, I feel that I would spend this day quietly and away from hustle and bustle of city life if were able to decide myself. Additionally, I would go on a long trip somewhere near to seashore and would love to feel the serene life in order to recharge my batteries. Such moments also provide ample opportunities to re-energize ourselves. I hate spending money on liquor and parties.

I have encountered a website called "Write & Improve - a language improvement tool" developed by Cambridge University Press. I was directed to the website when I was looking for some information on resources for learning English few days ago. I found it to be quite useful even though I that that there are areas for improvement on this website. I would like to review the main features and attributes of this website in my article. Additionally, I would also provide some feedback and recommendations for future improvement.

To begin with, it is easy to navigate within the site. I could locate the resources easily. Since the website is designed by reputed University center, the materials provided were of exceptionally high quality. Without much hassle, I was able to submit my article. As per the instructions, I was told that “submit button” needs to be clicked after writing the article and I meticulously followed the instructions. On submission of my article, I was promptly taken to the next page where I could see the result and feedback on my essay. Overall, I had the pleasant experience. The website did the checking of language, grammar and spelling swiftly.

Despite being easy to make use of the resources in the website, it also suffers from some avoidable drawbacks. First of all, the feedback were system generated, without intervention of human beings, which sometimes, make them unreliable and unbelievable. Unless the student has high speed internet, it slows down the generation of reviews. The designers need to look at it at the earliest.
