Band 7

Some people believe that it is best to accept a bad situation, such as an unsatisfactory job or shortage of money. Others argue that it is better to try and improve such situations. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

The question of whether
people
 control their
lives
 or just accept it has become a hotly debated topic nowadays.
While
according to

 things like lack of finance or work that does not bring satisfaction should be accepted, others claim that
people
 should take responsibility for their
lives
 and fight the circumstances. On the one hand, blaming and complaining is much easier than tackling the problem. Many
people
 choose to look for excuses to keep the job that makes them feel miserable
instead
 of looking for another job. No doubt, that sometimes to change something is much harder than to accept.
For example
, I was not satisfied with my previous position in the company, so I took a course to improve my qualifications in order to get a promotion.
Although
 learning and working were very hard, it became rewarding in the end.
On the other hand
, when it comes to money, there is never enough. The nature of humans is to ask for more and more, as there is no limit to

. In

 case, the wisdom is to accept the reality and find the correct balance between the expectations and real needs.
However
, when a family does not have enough money for food or other basic needs, that shortage of money should definitely be reduced. In my opinion, the angle
people
 see the situation depends on their personality, and the way they decide to act depends on their character. Some
people
 are fighters and others are not, and everyone makes his or her own decision, and
lives
 with the consequences.
To conclude
, I tend to believe that individuals should control their
lives
 and prioritise their needs, as some things are important and worth struggling with and others not.

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
