Yesterday's General Writing

Post by Ryan »

I received this via email today:
Task 1 was regarding the sport centre in our town and what do we expect to be improved.

Task 2: some people get married and have children when they are young, while some believe that should get married in their thirties. Do you see this positive or negative.
(Thank you for sharing!)

Hi Ryan,
Thank you for the sharing.
I am taking IELTS GT for immigration application at which I fail 0,5 points on writing. I fail to understand the type of the question.
For the last exam what type of essas is asked? Question was something like as follows;

"People loose too many time going to and from their job. Some people say that employees should be let to work from home. Considering the problem is this solution more advantageous or disadvantageous. Give examples for your statement."

In my view, it is asked to write a opinion statement essay. Introduction can be the statement of your vote whether positive or negative. I'd prefer voting positive. Then 2-3 paragraphs could be the advantages of working at home. Lastly conclusion would be like a generalizing the introduction statement in a different way.

You must be right. I wrote a discussion essay (adv and disadv) and got 6.5.
Understanding the question is very important..
