Step 1

このトピックに関するIELTS 試験官のアドバイス

1

For this 'Discuss Both Views' essay, dedicate one full body paragraph to each perspective presented in the prompt. For instance, BP1 could explore the benefits of early decision-making, while BP2 examines the merits of strict parental guidance. This ensures a balanced discussion before you present your personal opinion in the conclusion, preventing a premature bias that could undermine your argument.

2

When discussing children making their own decisions, consider examples like the Montessori education system, which fosters independence, or the development of critical thinking skills in children allowed to choose their own extracurriculars. For strict guidance, you could reference the importance of parental boundaries in preventing risky behaviours, drawing parallels to cultural norms in some East Asian societies where filial piety and structured upbringing are highly valued.

3

A common mistake is simply listing pros and cons for each view without adequately discussing the underlying reasons or implications. To avoid this, don't just state 'children learn independence'; instead, elaborate on how they learn it (e.g., through trial and error, developing self-efficacy) and why it's beneficial or detrimental in the long run, linking back to the core debate of the question.

4

To effectively transition between the two opposing views, use contrastive linking phrases at the start of your second body paragraph. Phrases like 'Conversely,' 'On the other hand,' or 'However, an alternative perspective posits that...' clearly signal to the examiner that you are now shifting to discuss the opposing viewpoint, ensuring logical flow and coherence.

5

For a band 8-9 on this question, examiners look for a nuanced discussion that acknowledges the complexities of child-rearing, avoiding simplistic 'either/or' arguments. A high-scoring essay will explore the implications of each approach (e.g., impact on child psychology, societal integration) and present a well-reasoned personal stance in the conclusion that synthesises the discussed views, perhaps suggesting a balanced approach or conditional application of each method.
