Step 1

IELTS Mga payo ng examiner para sa paksa na ito

1

Dedicate one full body paragraph to discussing the view that children should help with household chores, and another full body paragraph to the view that they should focus solely on studies. Avoid presenting a one-sided argument too early; ensure both perspectives are thoroughly explored and supported before you introduce your personal opinion in the conclusion.

2

For the 'chores' view, you could argue it fosters responsibility, life skills, and contributes to a harmonious family unit, citing examples from cultures that integrate children into daily tasks from a young age, like some Scandinavian countries. For the 'studies' view, you might highlight the increasing academic pressure and competitive global job market, drawing parallels with high-achieving East Asian education systems where academic focus is paramount.

3

The most common mistake students make on this question is failing to develop both sides of the argument equally or sufficiently. To avoid this, ensure each body paragraph has a clear topic sentence, at least two supporting points, and a specific example or detailed explanation, rather than just listing ideas. This demonstrates a balanced understanding of the issue.

4

For this discussion essay, use clear transitional phrases to introduce each view and your opinion. Start your first body paragraph with a phrase like 'On the one hand, proponents of children contributing to household chores argue that...' and the second with 'Conversely, others contend that children's primary focus should remain on their academic pursuits.' Your opinion can then be introduced with 'From my perspective, a balanced approach is crucial...'.

5

Examiners look for a nuanced discussion that acknowledges the complexities of both perspectives, rather than a simplistic 'either/or' approach. A band 8-9 answer will demonstrate sophisticated vocabulary related to child development and education, complex sentence structures, and a clear, well-supported personal opinion that synthesizes the arguments presented, often suggesting a balanced or integrated solution.
