IELTS Writing Sample Answer # Time With Grandparents

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

In modern societies, grandchildren rarely spend time with their grandparents.

What do you think are the consequences of it?

Write at least 250 words.

Grandparents are fun to be with and they shower blessings and affection without wanting anything in return.  Sadly in today’s world where large families are disintegrating into nuclear ones, children miss out on spending enough time with their grandparents and remain off limits from that sweet shower of love that they could have otherwise enjoyed from their grandparents.

Spending little time grandparents can effect the growth of the child. Often parents don’t have time to spend with their children, in these cases, if one does not have the support of grandparents they tend to get mislead-ed in life. For instance, a child having no elder to tell the right and wrong is most likely to fall in trap of the wrong doers, often disturbing the life of an individual.

Secondly, grandparents provide the love and care to the child, required to form a positive image of the society. A child living in the absence of grandparents has little or no awareness about the culture and the family traditions. This often leaves them to live in a void. Example, often parents even know less about the culture and stories of family, if a child misses out living with grandparents they often don’t get to know about their family members and the bond between the family is never strongly formed.

Overall, in my opinion, grandparents provide the support and the care a child needs during the growing up days, missing out on which often leads them to live a life of void and deprived of the true meaning of family.

IELTS Writing Sample Answer # Part-Time Job

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

In many countries, children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong while others believe it is good for the children as it provides valuable work experience, important for learning and taking responsibility.

Do you think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

You should write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

These days, it is common among children to take a part time job after the school hours. They believe that the job helps them in studies and also gives them the independence to spend on themselves, without any worry. I agree with this point of view, but it is important to bear in mind that juggling between work and studies does not suit everybody.

There are several benefits of taking up a part-time job. For me, the main one is that you become independent. Instead of depending on parents for every day needs, you can buy things for yourself which means you feel more in control. This generally results in children feeling happier in their lives.

Not only that, you can also learn some new and exciting things that not only help you in getting future jobs but also the course that one has taken in college or school. For instance, if you take up a job as a mechanic in a nearby garage, and you study mechanical engineering in a college, you will be able to understand the concepts better. You will therefore be more motivated to work hard, in order to learn more.

Having said that, it is undeniable that working while studying is risky. If the job does not matches with the course or you are spending more time on it, it might rather take a toll of your studies, which is not the best choice to make.  Moreover, it is quite difficult to balance both, especially if you are living alone with no emotional support.

To sum up, although, there is no doubt that some risks are associated with juggling between job and studies, I believe that the advantages outweigh the drawbacks, particularly with regard to taking up responsibility and learning. However, it should be said that not everyone is a risk-taker, and one must not do it just because everyone is doing.

The importance of education cannot be understated and people mainly get enrolled in colleges mostly to achieve the necessary education and degree they require to get a job or to build a career. Although every individual has different reasons for attending colleges, there surely is for most of the people.

Colleges provide certifications and degrees that are helpful for individuals in getting the desired job.
