Band 6.5

Some people feel that high school students should only learn literature from their own country, while others feel that they should be exposed to literature from around the world. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Learning
literature
according to
 some
people
 should only be confined to the
students
 from higher secondary level
however
, some express a completely different opinion like the
literature
 as a whole should be opened to the
students
. I personally believe that in the case of learning ,
literature
 there should not be any barrier. First of all, the
knowledge
 of
literature
 delineates the reality of society and
people
 to the readers
as well as
students
.
Therefore
, if high school
students
 only explore
literature
 from their associated
culture
 and language, their realm of
knowledge
 would only be confined to that.
Although
literature
 from someone's own country might help to gather
knowledge
 about his history and
culture
, ultimately the actual scenario of the whole
world
 and society remains unknown and unseen to him. As the goal of
literature
 is to enhance
knowledge
 and understanding, that focus can not be achieved by learning
literature
 from own country.
On the other hand
, if higher secondary
students
 get the opportunity to explore
literature
 from all over the
world
, that would help them compare how societies and
people
 have experienced from
culture
 to
culture
.
Furthermore
, the opportunities of learning about authors and poets from all over the
world
 would be the greatest way to have the concept of
world
literature
. To add to it, those who have a personal interest in
literature
 could follow the path of those poet laureates and become writers or poets.
Students
for example
, who are more involved in
world
literature
 could become fascinated with them and follow their path.
To conclude
,
literature
 from one country always focus on a specific society and
people
 but only
world
literature
 provides a realistic picture in a broader sense.
Students
 from high school should learn about
world
literature
 which is appropriate for them.

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
