IELTS Essay Sample Questions # Reward Or Punishment

You should spend 40 minutes on this task.

Do children behave better when they are rewarded or punished? Discuss both views and give your opinion.

You should write at least 250 words.

SAMPLE ANSWER

The most impactful years in the lives of person are that of childhood. It is in these years that one forms impressions and the experiences shape the nature and behavior of the child. Some people believe that a child must be punished for a wrongdoing while others believe that one must shape an individual through rewards.

Rewards and recognition are the positive pillars to motivate a person. When a child gets a reward for speaking well or discipline or cleanliness, it motivates him or her to do it more. Even more, the child gets to know the importance of the good things he or she is doing in life. Even more, complementing children for their excellence boosts their self-esteem and help them become better individuals.

However, punishments have their own impact on the lives of an individual. Children refrain from doing an activity in fear of receiving punishment. For instance, if a child was abstained from having chocolate because of a mistake he or she did, there will be a realisation on why the things are not right. Punishing must not mean physical or mental torture, if done with care it brings in the realisation more than fear.

Overall, growing years are formative years of a child life and both rewards and punishment are necessary. In my opinion, a child must get both but what is more important is the realisation of things from rewards and recognition.

Dear Manish,

For the past one year, I had been working to get past through the interview of IIMC and I am thankful that we were in it together. From photography to video editing, getting the interviews done, you have helped me whenever I needed it.

Last week was my meeting and I know if it was not for the professional emergency you would have been with me on the day of the discussion. The interview started with the documentaries that we had made together and they loved the “The Women in White” the most. Moving on there were questions about the photographs and the articles.

You would be happy to know that I have been selected and if it was not for you, I don’t think it was possible. Your help with the camera and the proofreading of articles, more importantly, the emotional support made me go with it.

I will be visiting you soon. (156 Words.)

Dear Radhika Ma’am,

It has been almost two months since I joined the Public speaking course and have been benefiting from it in leaps and bounds. Not only does the course helps me in giving good speeches, it also helps me to communicate better with people. It was with the help of this course that I have got selected in an MNC and would be moving for the job next week.

It will, therefore, be not possible for me to continue with the course. However, it has been a learning experience and I have learned not only English speaking but so many other facets of the language from you. You helped me become more confident on stage and I can now give a 15-minute talk easily on stage. The books and the material that you provided is a lifelong treasure.

Hope to be in touch online.

Best

Dear Joshi,

Last time, when we met, we talked about your love for music and how you are waiting to watch Coldplay performing live. You would be excited to know that Coldplay is performing live in Mumbai on 15th of the next month and I have got four tickets to their concert.

The band is expected to play their top songs and also will be releasing their new album, so we will be hearing their song before the world hears it out. What is more amazing is that Riya and Sumit will also be coming, so it will be more like a friends reunion on the best day of our lives.

I hope you will not have any professional commitments on the day and will make time for it. Waiting to meet soon.

Love
