IELTS. Writing tast 2. Essay #2 Task: Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good member of society. Others, however, believe that school is the place to learn this. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Essay: Who should teach children to be good members of society? There are two points of view: some think that this task should be laid on the parents’ shoulders, while others think that school is a better place to learn this. In this essay I will take a close look on both opinions. So what advantage of being taught by parents? First, they have an experience how to behave properly in society. Second, thinking of what is best for their child they can give the best advices how to be a good member of society. But there is also another side. Parents’ experience couldn’t always fit to the child’s situation. Time passes and what would be a good advice fifteen years ago now might be just useless. Then what about other opinion? Could school be a better teacher than parents? There is a saying: “The best way to teach someone to swim is to throw him in deep water”. But in my opinion letting a school to teach your child how to be a good member of society is like throwing him in a river which is too fast. In this case he has a chance to become the best “swimmer” and a bigger chance to drown. The bottom line is neither of those two opinions is perfect. But give your child wisely chosen advice from your experience and also let him get his own experience in school, discuss and help him understand his problems and he, without any doubts, will become a good member of society. 256 words, 35 minutes.

IELTS. Writing tast 2. First attempt ever. Task: Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems. To what extent do you agree or disagree? What other measures do you think might be effective? Essay: In our days problems of growing traffic and pollution become more and more significant. Some people consider increasing the price of petrol as the best solution for these problems. I am going to disagree with them and explain why. To begin, increasing the price of petrol will not bring expected results. In my opinion, adding, for example, 20% to the price will decrease the usage of petrole, in the best case, by 2-3%. It may look like a good result and some could say that all we need is to increase the prices even more. But this strategy has a flaw- any change in price of petrol make a big impact on economy of a country. Increase the price by the same 20% and the cost of logistic, which is one of the most important parts of modern economy, will go up by at least 10%. In my opinion measures like this one have a huge negative side which overshadows the positive one. What should be done then to deal with growing traffic and pollution? First, I want to point out that the place where all these problems are more evedent is a big city. What is the best way to get rid of noisy endless traffic jams in a city without a gulp of fresh air? First, undeground transportation web must be widen in order to reach every part of the city. Second, regular public transport has to be enchanced. It should consist of enviromental-friendly buses which will connect every street to the undeground transport. And the most important part is that the whole system of public transport has to be comfortable and as cheap as possible or even free to use. In conclusion, increasing the price of petrol is not an effective way to deal with growing traffic and pollution, but only development of comfortable "green" system of public transport can address those problems.
