Band 7

Some people think that students who don’t take a break in studies between the high school and the university are at disadvantage compared to students who travel and work after high school before further continuing their education. Do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, in our competitive world, to succeed, knowledge from
school
 and
university
 is not enough.
Therefore
,
students
 who study from
school
 to
university
 get fewer benefits and contribute less too, compared to those
students
 who travel or work and get
experience
 and
skills
 before going high. There are two following reasons to support my opinion. I refer to the
group
 of people who study from
school
 to
university
 as ‘
group
 A’ and the other
group
 – as ‘
group
 B’.
Firstly
, at
school
 and
university
, what
group
 A gain is almost entirely
theory
,
theory
 and
theory
. Of course, the
theory
 is very necessary,
however
, you can’t do everything with just
theory
. You must have practical
experience
.
This
 is what
group
 A lack very much.
Although
 in the
third
 or fourth year at
university
,
group
 A can be apprentices in some
companies
, to help them approach their future jobs, they aren’t trained well because of the short time spent working. And the real job is still very strange to them. After graduating, without
experience
,
group
 A
students
 can’t accomplish their work perfectly.
On the other hand
, it takes them time and money to keep up with other experienced
students
 and they may be scorned.
Therefore
,
group
 A
students
 can contribute less than
group
 B who have the two most important things:
skills
 and
experience
.
Secondly
, as
group
 A
students
 are contributing less, they surely get less benefit.
Moreover
, many
companies
 which employ people in
group
 A have to train them from the ground up. These
companies
 take
this
 cost from
group
 A’s salary to reduce the risk of their employees leaving to other
companies
 after being trained. So, fewer benefits are unavoidable and certain, Whereas
group
 B members are more loyal and effective workers. They
also
 have useful
experience
 and
skills
.
Besides
, their education is the same as or even higher than that of
group
 A.
As a result
,
group
 B gets more benefits absolutely. In conclusion, I think a student should travel or work before going to
university
. That way, not only will they have basic knowledge but
also
skills
 and
experience
 which are useful for them to get a good job and have a brilliant future.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
