Posted by David S. Wills | Jun 23, 2020 | IELTS Tips | 0
In this article, I am going to tell you all about education and IELTS. As you know (if you follow this website), the best way to learn new vocabulary is to study in terms of topics . There are many IELTS topics , such as environment , space , sports , health , and crime. We have talked about education many times in the past but today I will devote a whole article to it.
I intend to look at this topic in a structured way. We will explore it as such:
You can either study the whole lesson or else skip to the part that is most interesting for you.
If we look at the topic of education and IELTS , we can quickly see that there is a huge amount of vocabulary to learn. In fact, this is a vast topic. I will assume that you already know the basic words like “school” and “teacher” (or else you are probably not reading this right now). Instead, I will look at some more advanced vocabulary for IELTS education.
First of all, let’s look at some school subjects.
There many be some regional differences in the words used for these subjects (for example, mathematics is known as “maths” in British English and “math” in American English.
Subject | Description | Alternate Forms |
English | The study of the English language and/or literature | English lit. (short for “literature”) |
Mathematics | The study of numbers | Maths (UK), Math (US) |
Physical Education | A class in which people do or study exercise and sport | PE, gym |
Home economics | Lessons about activities at home, such as cooking, cleaning, etc. | Domestic science, home science, home ec’ (pronounced “eck”) |
Art | Drawing, painting, and the study of art | |
History | The study of history | |
Geography | The study of natural things, including land, weather, etc. | (This is distinct from another related subject: Geology.) |
Languages | Where people learn how to speak a second (or third) language | Usually just referred to be the name of the language – ie “French.” |
Religious studies | People learn about religions in this class. | It is often called “RS” for short, or also “RE” (religious education). |
Depending on where you study, most people learn a subject called “science” when they are young and later this becomes several subjects, including chemistry, biology, and physics. We also have “social sciences.” This includes many areas of study. You can read about it here .
I actually wrote in depth about the differences between British and American English last year . For now, though, I will focus on the differences in language when it comes to education. Here are a few ways in which we talk about these differences.
Kindergarten | Nursery |
Elementary school | Primary school |
Middle school | Secondary school |
High school | Secondary school* |
Technical college | College |
College | University |
Notebook | Jotter |
Eraser | Rubber |
Modules | Courses |
Principal | Head teacher/ Headmaster |
Math | Maths |
Recess | Break |
*The British and American school systems are quite different and what is known as “secondary school” in the UK lasts for up to six years. As such, this overlaps the American version. Anyway, those final years in the UK would more likely be called “fifth/sixth form” or “fifth/sixth year,” depending on which part of the country you come from. In England, it is usually “sixth form” and in Scotland it is “sixth year.”
American people talk about their school years in this way:
In the UK, we do not commonly use these terms but in the last few decades it has become normal to talk about “freshers” as people in their first year of university. For example, they often talk about “freshers’ week” as the first week in the university year because this is when the new students arrive.
Because education is something that affects pretty much everyone in the world, it is a topic that is really common in IELTS. It could appear in any part of the test , including the reading and listening sections.
When it does occur, you should be prepared. This means that you ought to know lots of vocabulary about this topic and also have some life experience and opinions on the matter. You can achieve that by including this topic in your regular reading.
There are many ways to achieve this. You can go on Google News (or any news service that you enjoy) and subscribe to their education feed.
Let’s take an article for an example and do a little practice. We will look first at a piece called “ With no students, small college town worries over its future .” Let’s look at the first two paragraphs:
What happens to a college town when the students disappear? Ithaca, a small upstate New York city nearby gorges and vineyards, is finding out. Most of the 24,000 students at Cornell University and 6,200 more from Ithaca College effectively vanished in March when the coronavirus pandemic struck, leaving behind struggling restaurants and shops. Locals still reeling from the outbreak and resulting exodus are wondering when — or if — things will get back to normal.
It is an interesting text that deals with a familiar situation: the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic.
In this excerpt, you can see the word “exodus.” What do you think this means? Let’s isolate that sentence:
Locals still reeling from the outbreak and resulting exodus are wondering when — or if — things will get back to normal.
We can learn from the words around it. “Resulting” tells us that this thing happened because of the virus outbreak. We also know from the previous sentence that thousands of students are not coming to this place.
We can guess then, that “exodus” means “a mass departure of people.” This sort of skill is really important when it comes to IELTS reading. You need to be able to figure out the meaning of a word from context. Here is a video that shows you how to work out the meaning of difficult vocabulary:
I have covered the topic of education here many times, including this TED video lesson about making education better by introducing creativity to curriculums. (By the way, this is one of two possible ways to pluralise “curriculum”! The other is “curricula.”)
Here is another interesting video about education. This time it is about gender and education. Remember that sometimes IELTS topics overlap like this.
The topic of education is really common in IELTS speaking. In fact, it is probably one of the most common topics that there is. As such, you need to be ready to answer these sorts of questions.
As you probably know, the first part of the IELTS speaking test is comprised of relatively simple questions that you should answer with one, two, or three sentences. You don’t need to develop your answers very much here.
Here are a few sample questions:
You don’t need to have dazzling grammar or vocabulary skills to answer these questions. You can just give pretty basic answers. For example:
Q: Do you work or are you a student?
A: I’m studying at the moment but I also have a part-time job.
Q: Where do you study?
A: I’m studying at Shanghai Jiaotong University . The word “jiaotong” literally means “traffic” but the common translation for the name is “Shanghai Communications University.”
Q: What are you studying there?
A: I’m studying English literature at the moment but I will move onto a business course next semester and continue studying English on the side. Literature was interesting for me but I don’t think it will help my career much.
Notice that there was very little specialist vocabulary here. The only word that I used that might require explanation is “semester.” A school year is made up of two semesters. (The word “term” can also be used but different countries have different systems. In some countries, an academic year is four terms, which means that two terms make up a semester. But this is not the same everywhere.)
There are countless possible education cue cards for IELTS speaking. You might be asked to describe one of the following:
The list is extremely long, but let’s look at a few possible education cue cards in more detail.
You may well be asked to describe a subject that you studied in school or that you wish you had studied. Remember that it could be your favourite subject or a subject you hated. It is always important that you read the whole cue card and do not jump to conclusions.
Here is an example:
Describe a subject you enjoyed studying at school. You should say: – when and where you started studying it – what the lessons were like – what made the subject different from other subjects and explain why you enjoyed the subject
Describing a subject presents many possibilities. You can talk about many different aspects of your chosen subject, including the classes, the books, and the teachers. However, the cue card might present you with a more specific topic, like this one:
Describe a project that you did in school with your classmates or friends. You should say: – what the project was – what it was about – how you completed it and whether you enjoyed the project or not.
It can be harder to answer a cue card when the thing you must talk about is a memory or period of time. These can be a real challenge because thinking of the right vocabulary and grammar is quite difficult. When you are presented with this sort of question, you might have to be a little creative with your answers. Here is another example cue card:
Describe a period of time from your studies that was the most difficult for you so far. You should say: – when it was – why was it hard – what you were doing at that time and whether you felt you were successful in overcoming the difficulties.
Finally, we come to the obvious IELTS speaking cue card: describe a teacher . This is definitely a common cue card and also quite an easy one. I think that most people who sit IELTS should be comfortable describing people like teachers. If you are not, you should look at my other lessons on how to describe people. You may also find this article about the good qualities teachers possess to be helpful.
There are lots of different ways that this could be phrases. It could be a teacher who influenced you, a teacher you liked, a teacher who helped you, your favourite teacher… and so on. There are numerous possibilities. But here is one example:
Describe a teacher from the past whom you remember. You should say: – what subject the teacher taught you – how old you were then – what were some special characteristics of this teacher and explain why you remember this teacher.
Of course, there are also lots of possible questions about education for part three of the speaking exam. In this section, you will most likely be asked questions like “are men and women equally capable of teaching?” and “should boys and girls be forced to take the same lessons?” The issues of gender , age, and other social issues will often intersect with the main topic.
Here are a few examples:
When it comes to task 2 of the IELTS writing test, education is also a really common topic. Again, there are countless possible questions you could be given, so rather than prepare for any single question, it is better to build your skill in dealing with this topic.
You should be familiar with the vocabulary given at the start of this lesson and also with ideas about education on a global scale. It is ok to have different opinions from other people, but you should be aware of all sides of these issues.
Keep in mind that education does not just mean “school” or “university.” It involves much more: teaching, learning, childhood, adulthood, books, reading, etc. It could be about community colleges or distance learning. Do not be surprised by these questions and do not think that you can handle this topic just because you are comfortable talking about high school. There is much more to it than that.
Here, I will give you four sample band 9 answers to typical IELTS writing questions. Two are from task 2 and two are from task 1, both general and academic tests.
Many businesses think that the new employees who have just graduated from schools lack interpersonal skills, such as working with colleagues as a team.
What has caused this and what are the solutions to this problem?
It is claimed by some business owners and recruiters that graduates nowadays tend to lack interpersonal skills. This essay will first explore why this is the case, before then suggesting how it may be remedied.
If it is true that graduates now lack the interpersonal skills necessary to succeed in the modern workplace, then that surely can be blamed on the exceptionally high level of theoretical knowledge necessary to achieve a good degree. As universities have become more competitive, the requirements for achieving a degree have gotten much more stringent, and students are required to spend all their time reading books and preparing for difficult assessments. It seems likely that this hinders their opportunities to socialize or work with others on productive tasks.
Solving this problem should not be terribly difficult. In fact, university faculties should pay attention to these complaints and implement solutions into their courses. Perhaps the most obvious suggestion is that students must be required to participate in more group activities throughout their education. For example, rather than studying all day and night to write an essay or sit an exam, students could be asked to prepare a group presentation together with their peers. Ideally, these groups should be picked at random to ensure that students develop the necessary skills to work with others whom they would not have previously chosen to work.
In conclusion, it appears that universities are failing students by not educating them in how to develop their interpersonal skills, and as a result they are struggling in the workplace. These universities should thus require students to develop their communicative abilities through specific group-based tasks.
Some people think that a sense of competition in children should be encouraged. Others believe that children who are taught to co-operate rather than compete become more useful adults.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
People disagree over how to raise their kids, with many parents and teachers suggesting that competition is detrimental to their development. They think that children should be taught cooperation instead. This essay will look at both views, before deciding that these need not be mutually exclusive.
The argument against competition in children essentially revolves around the idea that it is unhealthy for children to be pitted against one another. Rather than teaching them to compete, these people argue, we should teach them to work together. Natural selection dictates that some children will invariably be winners while others will be losers, and in the modern era, this seems like an out-dated concept. All children should be winners.
On the other hand, competition is a part of life and therefore children should be exposed to it from the beginning. It needn’t be unfair, of course. When children are taught healthy attitudes towards competition – such as sportsmanship – then it is actually tremendously beneficial for them. They can learn how to participate in natural activities and then deal healthily with the result, whether that is victory or loss.
However, it seems to me that there is no real distinction between competition and cooperation. Team sports, after all, involve both these elements. If children play football, basketball, or rugby, then they will work with their teammates to compete against another team. In the end, both aspects are learned.
In conclusion, there is no need to separate competition from cooperation, and neither should be removed from a child’s education or environment. Both are important for child development.
You recently did a short cookery course. The cookery school has asked for your feedback on this course.
Write a letter to the course director at the cookery school. In your letter
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing in response to your request for feedback on the cookery course I recently attended. I am happy to give you some of my thoughts on the course.
First of all, I really enjoyed it. I had wanted to study French cooking techniques for several years and so I was really excited to see that this course became available. It certainly did not disappoint me, and I was delighted by the processes that I learned during that amazing week.
Since the course, I have been cooking and baking for my friends and family at every opportunity. They have been really impressed with my newfound skills, and I will continue to practice what I have learned.
As for suggestions, I do think that it would be worth adding some other sorts of cuisine to the courses on offer. I would love to learn how to cook Thai food, for example.
Question #4.
There is a bar chart and a pie chart containing information taken from a survey on adult education. The bar chart describes why adults go into education and the pie chart shows who the respondents think should pay for it. People mostly go into education out of interest, and, perhaps unsurprisingly, it is believed that they should pay for it themselves.
According to the data, forty percent of adults go into education due to some sort of interest in a particular subject, while thirty-eight percent do it to gain qualifications. These are far and away the most common reasons, as the next most frequently cited reason was almost half this value. Several reasons were picked by about twenty percent of people, including the fact that it may help them earn a promotion at work. The least frequently stated answer was that adult education is a good way to meet new people.
The survey results showed forty percent of people believe the individual should pay the costs of a course. This matches quite well with the previous data, as the same percentage of people did these courses purely out of interest.

Learning new vocabulary and understanding how your Lexical resource band score is determined in the IELTS test will help you to achieve the best possible result. This vocabulary guide will show you useful tips and strategies to improve your vocabulary, and point you in the right direction of our other vocabulary guides on common IELTS writing topics .
2.2 using common and uncommon vocabulary, 2.3 avoiding spelling mistakes, 2.4 accurately using collocations.
3.1 discovering new words, 3.2 deciding which words to practice, 3.3 reviewing new words, 1. what is lexical resource.
Vocabulary in the IELTS writing test is referred to as your Lexical resource and it makes up 25% of your overall score in both the writing and speaking parts of the exam.
Many candidates say their biggest problem when preparing for the IELTS test is their vocabulary . Have you ever found yourself trying to learn long lists of words? Or trying to cram in as many words as you can into your memory moments before the test? We are going to share some advice on the best ways to learn and remember vocabulary effectively.
The examiner will mainly focus on the range and accuracy of vocabulary you use in your speaking and writing. This means that you need to:
There are also other things the examiner will be looking for. These are:
Ielts writing correction & grading.
Using a range of vocabulary also includes avoiding words and phrases given to you in an IELTS statement , as well as repeating your own ideas .
Being able to paraphrase is a key skill to help you avoid repetition throughout your writing and speaking.
Take a look at our guide to paraphrasing for top tips and examples.
You also need to refer back or forward to people, places and things you mention in your responses. Compare these two examples:
In the second example, we have used the pronoun ‘they’ to replace the noun ‘children’. This is a simple example, but it is often the case that test takers do not take the time to look through their work to notice the repetition of words and phrases that could be replaced with a synonym or pronoun. Five minutes at the end of the test could make a big difference.
The reason we are mentioning both common and uncommon vocabulary here is that it is unnatural to use only uncommon or academic vocabulary in your speech and writing. Have a look at these examples:
In the second example, we have run nearly every word through a thesaurus. Note how it sounds very unnatural, even though ‘uncommon vocabulary’ has been used. You need to feel confident using this language and strike a balance between common and more unusual vocabulary.
Uncommon vocabulary, like idioms and phrasal verbs , are more appropriate in the speaking section of the exam than writing. For the writing section of the exam, we suggest you avoid phrasal verbs and idioms (although some idiomatic expressions may be appropriate for writing task 2).
Spelling is important in the written section of the exam. The fewer spelling mistakes you make, the higher your score in Lexical resources could be.
Candidates often ask ‘ how many spelling mistakes ’ they can make for each band score, but the answer is not as simple as this. Basically, If you make so many spelling mistakes that it causes difficulty for the examiner to understand your writing then you will likely score a band score 5.0 in Lexical resources . If your spelling errors are very infrequent , you may be able to achieve a band score 7.0 and above .
Your spelling mistakes are something that you need to take responsibility for. A teacher can highlight your mistakes, but you need to put in the hard work to learn the correct spelling. Spelling errors are often referred to as ‘ fossilised errors ’ which means that, just like the fossil of a dinosaur, the mistake has been formed a long time ago and can only be changed through practice and repetition .
To improve your spelling you could consider:
Remember, it is a great idea to look at common spelling mistakes made by IELTS candidates, but some errors will be unique to you… write them down, memorise, hide the word, write… repeat . Repetition is really helpful to undo fossilised errors.
Collocation just means a frequent/common combination of words .
A typical example would be that you ‘make’ your bed (the verb ‘make’ and the noun ‘bed’ are a verb-noun collocation). However, you don’t ‘do your bed’… this is an incorrect verb-noun pairing.
Collocations are a relationship between words that need to be practiced and learned. There is no specific ‘rule’ to learn… practice makes perfect and will help you to sound more natural (as well as increase your Lexical resource score in the IELTS test.
One tip to learn collocations is to practice by topic . A common error is to try and learn long lists of collocations from memory. This will be overwhelming and often ineffective. When the exam comes and you get given a topic, you want to recall the vocabulary and collocations that are linked to the topic, not try to sift through long lists (that you will likely not remember under pressure).
You need to prepare yourself with vocabulary that is relevant to the topic you are given. We have put together comprehensive guides on a range of common IELTS topics to help you do just this.
Take a look at the following topics :
Being able to communicate clearly in your writing (and speaking) means that the examiner can understand the meaning you are trying to convey.
One way that vocabulary causes confusion for the reader is the wrong choice of word. You could have used the wrong word which has made the meaning of your sentence unclear. Some candidates often take a risk in the test and decide to use words that they are not exactly sure of the meaning of. This could result in you using the word incorrectly and causing difficulty for the reader. Don’t use the test to try using words for the first time, it is more important to communicate clearly and accurately.
Reference is often an issue, for example, you may have referred back to a previous part of your paragraph or speech using the pronoun ‘it’, but it is not clear what ‘it’ refers to.
Ielts speaking practice.
As soon as you have decided that you are taking your IELTS test, you should be actively looking to expand your vocabulary
We recommend that you create a book or electronic copy of all your new words and phrases.
You should also read or listen to English texts as often as you can. These texts could be:
Do not simply add every new word you read to your list of vocabulary. Also, be careful when using a thesaurus. It is often difficult to find exact synonyms in English, and a thesaurus will give you a long list of similar words that may not be appropriate in the context you want to use them. For example, two synonyms of‘ big ’ taken from a thesaurus of are:
If we want to replace big in the sentence ‘ the building is big ’, it is correct to say ‘the building is enormous’ but the sentence ‘ the building is boastful ’ is not appropriate .
We recommend you always create an example sentence of new words in context and a definition . A Learner Dictionary is a great place to find clear definitions for learners of English.
A good example of new words to note down are words that you have seen a few times before in a text, but do not fully understand. The frequency of these words show that they are common in English.
A great way to learn new vocabulary is by topic . Group new words, phrases, collocations, and uncommon vocabulary linked to a common theme. This will make it much easier to remember under pressure.
Do not try to learn a list of technical language or specialist words and phrases . Although topics, such as science or technology, might come up during the test, you are not expected to have specific knowledge of these subjects. Remember, the IELTS exam is a test of your English language ability.
Reviewing new vocabulary is the key to remembering it, and a step that candidates often miss.
It would be very rare to just write down new words, look at them once and be able to recall them in the exam. You need to review new words regularly to commit them to memory .
You also need to actively use a new vocabulary: set yourself a goal of using words and phrases you have learned in real life.
Here are just some ideas to review new vocabulary:
There is no right or wrong way to review language, do what works for you .

Khi phát triển ý tưởng cho subtopic “Giving children homework everyday” dưới góc độ lợi ích và bất lợi, bạn có thể xem xét như sau.
Be forced to work independently away from the environment of schools → proactively apply the knowledge that they have learnt in the classroom → think individually and creatively in correspondence to a particular task → develop an independent study habit → prepare them to work alone as adults.
Have home assignments completed multiple times on a daily basis → serve as an additional practice and revision of the lesson taught to them in the school → retain information more easily → reduce the exam stress considerably.
Have an obligation to complete the homework while having to deal with an excessive load of knowledge at their school + constant examinations → sacrifice their sleep to meet academic demands → exhaust the child + reduce their interest in school studies → suffer from depression.
Return home with excessive amounts of homework → reduce children’s after-school time for other extracurricular and leisure activities → unable to develop necessary soft-skills
Bạn có thể phát triển ý tưởng cho subtopic “Teaching history subjects” dưới góc độ lợi ích và bất lợi như sau.
Have thorough insights into what happened in the past in one’s own country => understand their hometown’s traditional values and develop a national identity => take pride in their origins and treasure the life they know as it is today.
Accumulate knowledge of this particular field at an early age => enhance their understanding about various aspects of the world => to work for foreign enterprises, especially those who highly value company culture.
Learn history => be imposed to memorize dates and events from the past => rarely use them in people’s lives => be of little relevance to future and today’s society.
(historical events) be seen in different perspectives and interpreted in different ways => (students) normally learn the subject through only one source => discount its importance as a subject for learning.

Force people to choose scientific subjects like biology, mathematics, physics and chemistry => ensure that any knowledge and skill gaps in the economy are covered => increase the overall GDP of the nation => improve a country’s future prosperity.
Attain science degrees => be provided with foundational knowledge to adapt to the fast-moving technological development => increase their future employment prospects.

Topic 1 : University education should be free to everyone, regardless of income. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Sample essay.
Some people believe that the government should provide a free university education to all students regardless of how much money they make. From my perspective, while I acknowledge the benefits of doing this, I still believe it is unreasonable for the government to offer an education at no cost.
On the one hand, it is true that there are several benefits that students can reap from receiving a free education. In fact, when the government pays for students' education, it means that all students have equal education opportunities. This can attract low-income students and enable unprivileged students to obtain higher paying jobs after graduation. As a result, it can make greater contributions to the national economy, and therefore poverty would evaporate quickly. In addition, allowing poor students to spend time studying also minimizes the amount of time spent on unproductive and harmful activities. Thus, it can prevent the development of social issues among children
However, I still argue that it is not feasible to provide a free education for everyone. As for the first drawback, since the government has to provide financial support for a booming student population, the money being spent on each individual drops to a historic low. This results in compromised standards of education and the education ultimately fails to produce outstanding graduates. Moreover, making education free for children means that the government has to cover a variety of expenses, such as salaries for professors, textbooks for students, modern classroom equipment… This may drain the state budget and deplete the resources for other sectors.
In conclusion, while I agree that providing a free university education for everyone can be beneficial in some aspects, I still believe that doing this can affect the society in negative ways and thus should not be encouraged.
Topic 2 : Some people believe the aim of university education is to help graduates get better jobs. Others believe there are much wider benefits of university education for both individuals and society. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Essay plan.
Giới thiệu ngắn gọn về để dẫn vào hai ý kiến trong đề. Bạn có thể thay đổi lại ý chính trong đề sao cho nghĩa không đổi.
Đoạn thân bài 1
Trong đoạn đầu tiên của phần thân bài, chúng ta sẽ đưa ra lý do củng cố luận điểm: The aim of university education is to help graduates get better jobs (Mục đích của trường Đại học là giúp sinh viên tốt nghiệp có việc làm tốt hơn).
Many people attend university to appear more attractive towards employers: Nhiều người học đại học để dễ được các nhà tuyển dụng chú ý hơn.
High education is expensive => it wouldn’t be reasonable to attend it without expecting future financial secure: Đại học đắt tiền => Nếu chỉ học mà không kỳ vọng sẽ kiếm được tiền
Đoạn thân bài 2
Trong đoạn này, ta nêu ra các lý do bảo vệ ý: There are much wider benefits of university education for both individuals and society (Học đại học có nhiều lợi ích hơn chỉ để kiếm việc làm)
Studying in university helps the students develop better social skills and improve as a person: Học Đại học giúp sinh viên phát triển được kỹ năng xã hội hơn.
Society is going to benefit from graduates with high knowledge: Xã hội sẽ phát triển khi có nhiều người với học thức cao.
Tóm tắt lại các lý do ở trên và khẳng định điều mình đã khẳng định ở mở bài.
These days, more and more people are making the choice to go to university. While some people are of the opinion that the only purpose of university education is to improve job prospects, others think that society and the individual benefit in much broader ways.
It is certainly true that one of the main aims of university is to secure a better job. The majority of people want to improve their future career prospects and attending university is one of the best ways to do this as it increases a person's marketable skills and attractiveness to potential employers. In addition, further education is very expensive for many people, so most would not consider it if it would not provide them with a more secure future and a higher standard of living. Thus job prospects are very important.
However, there are other benefits for individuals and society. Firstly, the independence of living away from home is a benefit because it helps the students develop better social skills and improve as a person. A case in point is that many students will have to leave their families, live in halls of residence, and meet new friends. As a result, their maturity and confidence will grow to enable them to live more fulfilling lives. Secondly, society will gain from the contribution that graduates can make to the economy. We are living in a very competitive world, so countries need educated people in order to compete and prosper.
Therefore, I believe that although the main aim of university education is to get the best job, there are clearly further benefits. If we continue to promote and encourage university attendance, it will lead to a better future for individuals and society.
Topic 3 : Everyone should stay in school until the age of eighteen. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Mở bài: Giới thiệu ngắn gọn về để dẫn vào hai ý kiến trong đề. Bạn có thể thay đổi lại ý chính trong đề sao cho nghĩa không đổi. Ở bài mẫu này, ta sẽ triển khai bài theo ý disagree.
Luận điểm 1: People leaving school too early might be unskilled at work: Những người rời trường học quá sớm sẽ thiếu nhiều kỹ năng ở công việc.
Luận điểm 2: School provides moral and social education: Trường học cung cấp nhiều sự hướng dẫn về các vấn đề đạo đức và văn hóa.
Kết bài: Tóm tắt lại các lý do ở trên và khẳng định điều mình đã khẳng định ở mở bài.
It is often said that if you want to succeed in life, you need a proper education. While there may be arguments for making school compulsory until the age of 18, I disagree that this should apply to everyone.
Perhaps the strongest reason for not leaving school early is that it prepares you for your working career. If you leave school early with only a basic education, you are unlikely to be able to find any skilled work. Indeed, the education you receive between the ages of 16 and 18 is crucial for anyone who does not want a lifetime of unskilled work in a factory.
Another compelling reason for remaining in school until 18 is that school provides moral and social education too. This is particularly important for people between 16 and 18 who have many temptations and benefit from the organized framework that school provides. Young people who stay in school until the age of 18 tend to be more responsible and help build a stronger society.
There are, however, equally strong arguments against making school compulsory until the age of 18. One such argument is that not everyone is academic and that some people benefit more from vocational training. For instance, someone who wants to become a car mechanic may find better training and more satisfaction in an apprentice scheme. Another related argument is that, in today’s world, young people are maturing ever more quickly and are able to make their own life decisions by the age of 16.
In my mind, everyone should be encouraged to stay in school until 18 both for social and career reasons. However, I believe it would be a mistake to make this compulsory bearing in mind that different people have different needs and abilities and the possibilities of other forms of vocational training.

Sau đây là tổng hợp từ vựng chủ đề Education mà bạn có thể áp dụng vào các bài IELTS Writing hoặc Speaking .
= (especially North American English) a school or class to prepare children aged five for school
= (British English, Australian English, New Zealand English) nursery school (= a school for children between the ages of about two and five)

Đề bài: Some people think that it is better to educate boys and girls in separate schools. Others, however, believe that boys and girls benefit more from attending mixed schools. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Dịch đề: Một số người nói rằng tốt hơn nên đưa trẻ nam và trẻ nữ tới các trường học riêng biệt (chỉ dành cho 1 giới). Tuy nhiên, một số người khác lại tin rằng nam và nữ có lợi hơn khi tham gia trường 2 giới. Thảo luận cả hai quan điểm và đưa ra ý kiến của bạn.
It is argued by some that students would benefit more when they attend single-sex schools . In my opinion, however, it would be better for them to enter mixed-gender educatio n.
On the one hand, the primary reason why some people support single-gender education would be students’ better academic results . When boys and girls are taught separately, there is little chance for early relationships . This is considered as one of the most distracting problems for teenage and adolescent students. Without worrying about these distractions, students might be able to concentrate more on their study, and therefore, might get higher grades than those at co-ed schoo ls. Despite this being true to some extent, having no interaction with the opposite sex will cause these students a lot of troubles later in life, especially in their careers.
On the other hand, I would argue that mixed-sex education is a better option because students are better prepared for their future jobs. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to find a company where there is only male or female staff. Therefore, those who graduate from single- sex schools, despite their higher academic results , might find it hard to work collaboratively with their colleagues of the opposite sex. By contrast, people from mixed schools might easily cooperate with their opposite-gender partners since they have learned how to communicate and interact effectively with opposite-sex classmates during their time at school.
In conclusion, although some people think that it is more beneficial to send students to single- sex schools, I personally believe that mixed-gender education brings more benefits for students. (257 words, written by Huyen Nguyen)

The wausau school district is considering a reduction in its elementary school "footprint" and has created a citizen committee to develop recommendations..
WAUSAU – The task force of citizens charged with developing options for elementary facilities in the Wausau School District met for its third meeting Wednesday. The district is considering a reduction in its elementary school "footprint" as population projections predict half of the 13 elementary school buildings to operate below 70% of their capacity by 2027.
The 37 members of the task force in attendance Wednesday heard information on education programs, finances and transportation of students within the district. It also received the list of standards, or criteria, to use to make help decisions through the rest of the process.
“I think the information has been really good,” Dianne Loppnow, task force member, told a Wausau Daily Herald reporter after the meeting. “You can go to the school district website and every piece of information that’s discussed is available to anybody in the community to see.”
The Wausau School Board, at its Aug. 12 meeting, unanimously endorsed evaluation criteria to be used by the task force in its decision-making process. The criteria was developed in part by the demographic consulting agency the district hired to help with this process, MDRoffers Consulting.
“I think this process is more thorough and it’s helpful to have an outside entity leading and guiding the work,” Dana Parlier, task force member, told a Wausau Daily Herald reporter. “I think when we tried to do it the last time, we didn’t have all of the pieces that could lead to a really solid decision or community buy-in.”
The five criteria are listed in this order: fiscal responsibility, efficient building utilization, maintain educational opportunities, minimize impact on students and schools close to students.
“It’s still going to be an emotionally charged experience no matter what happens. We’re talking about little people and humans and not a machine,” Parlier said. “Hopefully the facts can help to guide some of that and maybe curb a little bit of the emotional piece to it.”
More local education news: Wausau elementary school task force hears about enrollment concerns, needed building upgrades and underutilized space
Back to School: Here's what Wausau School District families need to know before classes begin
Julie Schell, director of elementary education, and Jon Euting, assistant superintendent of academics, spoke about education programs in the district.
They described how certain programs in the district are tied to specific buildings. Several buildings are able to access grant funding either based on the needs of the people who live around it or other similar factors. Grant-funded programs allow the district more flexibility to provide a variety of educational opportunities but also introduce limits on how funds can be spent and other requirements to maintain eligibility to receive grants.
Some grant funds the district receives would not be available again if certain buildings close.
Josh Viegut, assistant superintendent of operations, gave presentations on the district’s current financial situation and its transportation policies.
The 2024-25 school year budget is projected to have a $1.5 million shortfall. The district had previously predicted a $3.5 million shortfall at the end of the previous school year but was able to reduce that number through staffing changes and several other budgetary changes, Viegut shared in an email to a Daily Herald reporter.
The district went through a budget reconciliation process that "factored in a reduction of almost 30 positions throughout the district utilizing retirements and resignations to capitalize on attrition as much as possible," Viegut shared.
The district is currently undergoing a building condition study to provide an update on the last study, which was completed in 2014. This study will identify things like building condition, capacity, renovation needs and other details.
The district is also renegotiating its bus service contract. The district last considered bus service contracts in 2019. In 2023-24, the district paid $3.1 million in its contract with First Student bus company to transport about 2,300 students per day.
Task force members will weigh these criteria and the rest of the facts given to them about the state of the district as Roffers will present facility options to the group in three meetings scheduled on Sept. 11, Sept. 25 and Oct. 9. The task force is scheduled to have at least one plan ready to recommend to the school board by Dec. 4.
“You will not make everybody happy with the outcome that you’re going to arrive at whatever that may be. One closures, zero closures, five closures. I don’t think there’s a right answer,” Loppnow said.
Wednesday was the third of nine planned meetings of the citizen task force. It is made up of 45 citizens with varying backgrounds that fit broadly in three categories: parents with children in the district schools, district residents without children in the district schools and elementary educators and support staff. A majority of members have had students in the district at some point.
“If you are really looking at the long-term vision of our district, you’re making sure that we have operational expenses and we’re not coming back to the community asking for a referendum,” Loppnow said. “But rather we’re doing things to reduce our cost but pay our teachers and educate our students at a higher level. I think that that’ll pay out in the end."
The task force is scheduled to meet next from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sept. 11 in the Nicholson Boardroom of the district's Longfellow Administration Center at 415 Seymour St. in Wausau. The meeting is open to the public.
