Step 1

यस विषयको लागि परीक्षक सुझावहरू

1

For this discussion essay, dedicate one full body paragraph to exploring the view that technology widens the rich-poor gap, and another distinct paragraph to the opposing view that it fosters societal closeness. Your personal opinion should be clearly stated and justified in the conclusion, ensuring you don't prematurely lean too heavily on one side in the body paragraphs.

2

To strengthen your arguments, consider specific examples: for the 'widening gap' view, discuss the digital divide in sub-Saharan Africa or job displacement due to automation in manufacturing sectors. For the 'bringing closer' perspective, reference the role of social media in facilitating global movements like the Arab Spring or the democratisation of education through platforms like Coursera.

3

A common pitfall is failing to give equal weight to both sides of the argument or introducing your personal opinion too forcefully within the body paragraphs. Ensure each view receives thorough development and supportive evidence before you present your own considered judgment in the concluding section, maintaining an objective tone throughout the discussion.

4

Employ sophisticated linking phrases to smoothly transition between the two opposing viewpoints. For instance, after discussing the 'widening gap', you could introduce the counter-argument with phrases like 'Conversely, a different perspective posits that...' or 'However, it is also argued that technology serves as a unifying force...', ensuring logical flow and coherence.

5

For a band 8-9, examiners look for a nuanced discussion that not only presents both views comprehensively but also demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of the underlying complexities. This includes using precise, academic vocabulary to articulate subtle distinctions, employing a range of complex grammatical structures accurately, and offering well-developed, relevant examples that convincingly support each argument before presenting a clear, well-reasoned personal opinion.
