Some people think that schools should choose students according to their academic abilities, while others think it is better to have students of different abilities studying together. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In the education field, people have different views about which type of
class
organization is appropriate for students' development. Particularly, it is argued whether we should apply streaming student practice or group students with diverse abilities in a
class
. While streaming in school is sometimes beneficial, I believe that mix-ability
class
organizations should be encouraged. On the one hand, classifying students through academic abilities is
favored
preferred above all others and treated with partiality
favoured
because students can have their skills sharpened. With more specialized materials and syllabuses, pupils have a chance to broaden their knowledge in certain fields, and
therefore
pursue higher achievement in those fields. By dint of that advantage, some high schools in Vietnam,
for example
, classify students according to their advantageous subjects
such
as Maths and English, intending to foster students’ abilities. With the same level of absorbing knowledge, the streaming practice
also
helps facilitate the teaching process and reduce the pressure for teachers when delivering lessons.
However
,
this
type of
class
may put pupils under stress when they have to emphasize academic achievement and possibly suffer from peer pressure.
On the other hand
, when studying in a mixed-ability
class
, students would learn to cooperate with others of different levels.
This
is possibly an opportunity for pupils with lower academic levels to get support from their peers, creating a sense of motivation for those pupils to study more efficiently.
Additionally
, a sense of cooperation irrespective of levels or abilities could help avoid discrimination within a
class
, and
this
attitude is
also
a vital factor when it comes to working in a company.
Although
teachers may have to tailor teaching strategies which is understandable for all kinds of students, students could access various skills
such
as artistic skill and musical skill
besides
academic skills.
Thus
, students would not only develop academic
skills but
Accept comma addition
skills, but
their talents as well. In conclusion, while streaming in school is advantageous, it seems to me that grouping pupils regardless of their abilities is a much more
favorable
encouraging or approving or pleasing
favourable
option.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
