IELTS Writing Task 1
| Task 1: The charts below show what UK graduate and postgraduate students who did not go onto full-time work did after leaving college in 2008. |
Sample
The bar charts illustrate the choices made by UK graduates and postgraduate students after completing their studies in 2008, excluding those who immediately entered full-time employment.
In general, further education was the most popular path for graduates, while volunteer work was the least common. This trend was consistent among postgraduate students as well.
Looking at the first bar chart, graduates opting for further education outnumbered those in other categories by approximately 30,000. Voluntary work was the least favored option among post-graduates, chosen by only 3,500 individuals. Around half of those pursuing higher education were employed part-time, and the unemployment rate was relatively similar across different post-graduate outcomes.
Turning to the second diagram, it is evident that the largest and smallest groups among postgraduates were those continuing their education (2,725) and those engaged in volunteer work (345), respectively. However, a significantly higher number of postgraduates worked part-time (2,535) compared to those who were unemployed (1,625).
IELTS Writing Task 2
| Task 2: Young people are committing more crimes. Discuss the causes and solutions for this problem. |
Sample
In numerous countries globally, there has been a rise in the number of crimes committed by young individuals. Throughout this essay, I will examine the causes of this situation and suggest viable solutions to mitigate it.
There are several factors for this phenomenon. The primary causes of this problem are, first and foremost, unemployment and inflation. As an example, consider how there are more young educated individuals than job openings and how inflation is rising daily. When there are not enough jobs for everyone, jobless youths commit crimes like snatching and robbery to get decent money for two square meals. In addition to that, parents’ busy schedules play a significant role. For instance, whether both parents must work to support the family financially, they would not have sufficient time for their children, being unable to instill moral and social principles in them.
In my opinion, the government should take the lead in encouraging families to exercise consistent parental supervision over their children in order to reduce the number of juvenile crimes. First, parents should be encouraged and given financial assistance so they may send their kids to various educational settings during their leisure time. Young people will be less likely to be exposed to negative influences since they will benefit from extra educational services including supplementary lessons on different subjects, learning certain artisan skills, and increasing foreign language abilities. Besides, in order to identify the kids who are skipping school in favour of wandering around, the authorities should increase their supervision of locations like game centres, stores, and movie theatres.
In summary, it is argued that both inadequate parental supervision and financial capability contribute to the increasing proportion of young people involved in criminal activities. However, this troubling trend could be reversed by identifying at-risk youth early and implementing measures to support families in better guiding their children.
