Band 7.5

Some people say that in all levels of education, from primary schools to universities, too much time is spent on learning facts and not enough on learning practical skill. Do you agree or disagree?

Under the current education system, most schools teach
students
 authoritative books rather than hands-on experiences. Some people vote for
this
 way, while most people simply don’t reflect on
this
 system and obey the rules set, though the gap between the schools and society is irrigonarably excited. As far as

show examples
 see, the school should, for a number of reasons, change its way to teach
students
 more useful skills which can be applied in their real life. The most important reason is that the vast majority of the
students
 would work rather than stay at university after graduation. Since the competition for a position is so intense that some
students
 will find themselves left behind by others because they lack some specific job-hunting techniques,
although
 they might be well performance in their studies. The
second
 reason is that not all
students
 have the talent or the interest to learn so many facts in school.
However
, they wouldn’t be able to get the degree without theoretical test grades since most of the courses are compulsory. Indeed, It is quite a waste of energy for a student who wants to be a chef to learn so much physical knowledge and it's
also
 unfair for him to compete in
this
 field with those who want to be physicians.
However
,It's an undeniable fact that theories learning can benefit
students
 in some ways. Researches attest to the fact that junior
students
 who learned Olympic math have higher performance on their IQ test after ten years, even though most of them forget what they learned.
Furthermore
, some common knowledge is
also
 useful in one's daily life. While I agree that fact learning is essential to some extent and should be compulsory in a low-level study,
such
 as primary school, they should be selective in higher education when
students
' value conception has been formed and job opportunities are more urgent. By way of conclusion, Practical skills are more essential for one's adaption to society through learning facts that could be implemented in a limited time.

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
