Some people believe that unpaid community activity service should be a compulsory part of high school programs (for example, working for a charity, improving the neighbourhood, or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some hold the opinion that participating in
community
service
, including charitable activities
or educating younger children, without receiving any wage should be a mandatory program in upper secondary education. I partially agree with this
idea since, on the one side, compulsion
can serve as a forcing factor that leads students
towards being engaged in activities
benefiting their community
. However
, on the other side, coercing students
into doing unpaid community
service
may foster a sense of resentment in them.
On the one hand, some advocate the idea of making unpaid community
service
a compulsory program for high school
students
. They argue that some individuals do not participate in activities
which do not have direct benefits for them, for example
, from a financial aspect, unless they are forced into doing them. In other words
, they believe compulsion
is a necessary element that leads students
towards benefiting their society
by participating in community
service
, even if they are reluctant to do so. They think that whether students
' reasons for refusing to perform unpaid community
service
are justifiable, such
as time constraints, or unjustifiable, such
as idleness or feeling irresponsible towards the community
, they need to be under pressure from the school
to fulfil their fair share of civic duties towards their community
.
On the other hand
, others oppose the opinion that high school
students
' engagement in community
service
should be mandatory. They believe when students
, especially adolescents, are coerced into taking part in unpaid activities
to serve their community
, they may feel that they are subjected to unfair demands, leading them to feel reluctance or even resentment toward these activities
in the long term. Moreover
, students
are more likely to make their best efforts in performing community
service
or activities
in the interest of society
if they are allowed to do them out of their own desire or free will instead
of compulsion
. Thus
, by forcing them to participate in benevolent activities
for society
or community
service
, students
may render service
superficially with the least acceptable quality.
In conclusion, to some extent, I do agree with the idea suggesting that high school
students
should be compelled to participate in community
service
activities
since compulsion
can serve as a factor that increases students
' engagement in activities
benefiting their society
, even if some of them are not willing to do so. However
, coercing students
to perform benevolent activities
for the public may create a sense of resentment in them, and they may not put their best efforts into doing community
service
if it is against their desire or will.Submitted by ghsa1214 on

Word Count
IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.
A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.
Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
