Step 1

このトピックに関するIELTS 試験官のアドバイス

1

Clearly state your position (agree or disagree) in the introduction and maintain it throughout. To balance acknowledging the opposing view while defending your stance, dedicate a paragraph to the counter-argument (e.g., "While it is understandable that some advocate for protecting the countryside...") before immediately refuting it or presenting a stronger argument for your side in the subsequent paragraph. Ensure your conclusion unequivocally reiterates your initial position.

2

If you agree with building in the countryside, you could argue that strategic, well-planned developments can alleviate severe housing crises in urban centres, citing examples like the UK's 'garden village' initiatives designed to create sustainable new communities. Alternatively, if you disagree, highlight the irreversible environmental damage, such as the loss of critical biodiversity and natural habitats, drawing parallels to the impact of unchecked urban sprawl seen in rapidly developing regions globally.

3

The most common mistake is failing to acknowledge the complexity of the issue, either by ignoring the pressing need for housing or by dismissing environmental concerns entirely. Avoid presenting a purely emotional argument; instead, demonstrate a nuanced understanding by briefly addressing the merits of the opposing view before robustly defending your chosen stance with logical reasoning and evidence.

4

To effectively link ideas in this opinion essay, use concessionary phrases followed by strong counter-arguments. Start a paragraph with "While it is undeniable that..." or "Admittedly, there are valid concerns regarding..." to introduce the opposing view, then transition with "Nevertheless," "However," or "Conversely," to introduce your main argument. This structure clearly guides the examiner through your thought process and strengthens your overall coherence.

5

Examiners look for a sophisticated and well-reasoned argument that demonstrates a deep understanding of the dilemma, not just a simple 'yes' or 'no'. A band 8-9 answer will showcase a nuanced perspective, perhaps suggesting how building could be done sustainably or why protection is paramount, using precise academic vocabulary and complex grammatical structures accurately to convey subtle distinctions in meaning.
