    từng dạng câu hỏi.
    Ví dụ:
    Many people decide on a career path early in their lives and keep to it. This, they argue,
    leads to a more satisfying working life.
    To what extent do you agree with this view?
    What other things can people do in order to have a satisfying working life?

    Hints :
    - Use passive forms : In formal writing such as an IELTS examination it is
    almost always best to use passive forms. The over use of first person makes
    essays seem informal and is a style that is most commonly adopted by
    children
    - Use plural forms : In academic essays (Task 2) students will usually be
    writing about general ideas and therefore plural forms without an article
    (no “the”) should be used.

    For example: In many cities around the world traffic jams present major
    problems to commuters.

    - Language variation :A good example is the word “children”, which comes


    up as a subject in many IELTS essays. In order to achieve variation many
    students will replace “children” with “kids”, which is far too informal to be
    used in writing
    - Avoid Unnecessary Language - Fillers
    - In speaking, people tend to use unnecessary language and expressions that
    are sometimes referred to as “fillers”. However, this is not normally done in
    formal writing and leads to indirect language

    Ex : Common Phrases that should be avoided include the following:

      From my perception
      In recent days
      As we all know
      I guess
      One of the things
      Nowadays
      Some people believe
      From my point of view
      I am convinced
      As far as I am concerned
      First of all
      One of the things
      On one hand, on the other hand

    -Avoid Oral Language

     Sometimes words are used only in oral language and should be replaced by
    a formal word. Many examples are given below.
    Ex:
    A lot of/plenty – many/a great deal of
    Get – obtain
    Still – continue to/avoid.
    Happen - occur
    On the right track – avoid
    Chance – opportunity, probability

    -Avoid Exaggeration

    Academic writing requires that the writer expresses their ideas objectively and
    therefore expressions of exaggeration should usually be avoided.

    Examples include:
    Fantastic/amazing/incredible – Use high quality, excellent

    Horrible/disgusting – Use undesirable, unacceptable

    - Use Precise Language


    - Things – “things” is too vague for academic writing
    - For example:
    - People need to jump out of their old style of thinking
    - => People need to change their old style of thinking
    - Use Positive Language – Negatives of Positives rather than Negatives
    - In formal English it is more acceptable to use the negative of a positive
    word rather than a negative. For example, it is more common (and much
    more polite) to describe someone as “unsuccessful” rather than a “failure”
    or “unwise” rather than “stupid” .
    - Avoid Leaving Readers Hanging
    - Occasionally students will write that there are advantages of a particular
    action being taken but fail to say what the advantages actually are leaving
    the reader wondering what advantages the writer is referring to

    - Many people believe that university students should pay tuition fees in full
    themselves, because they gain education for their own benefit and not for society. To
    what extent do you agree or disagree?

    Sample

    University tuition is a topic of public interest and concern. There is a common belief that it
    is students’ responsibility to take care of their own tuition fees since they study for
    themselves, not for the good of society. In my opinion, I believe that this educational
    expense is not entirely responsibility of students.

    From one standpoint, I believe that undergraduates should not have to pay the full cost of
    education. This would be too expensive, especially in the UK or the US, hence preventing
    many young people from pursuing tertiary education. It is because many talented students
    are the victims of their families’ financial problems, which stops them from furthering
    their study. Furthermore, the provision of scholarships for high achievers would motivate
    competent individuals to work hard during their college time. If there were no
    encouragement in terms of finance, they would feel unappreciated and demotivated.

    In addition, I think society gains benefits from university undergraduates; therefore, it is


    reasonable to offer financial aids to those students. Apparently, they would become the
    main workforce in the future after graduation. Without them, the entire economy would be
    destabilized owing to the lack of skilled labor. On top of that, university graduates make
    tremendous contributions to the prosperity of their community by paying taxes . Because
    of this, society could not afford to assist students with their education cost.

    In conclusion, I strongly oppose the idea that society gains nothing from college students
    and that they should settle their own study fees at university.
