Nhiệm vụ IELTS Writing task 1

Bước 1: Lập kế hoạch

Đoạn tổng quan:

The procedure of producing electricity from coal comprises five primary stages: Coal extraction, transformation, cooling, filtering, and distribution.

Bước 2: Hoàn thành bài viết

The diagram demonstrates the process by which electricity is generated using coal.

Overall, this is primarily a mechanical process and involves five key stages: Coal extraction, subsequent transformation, followed by cooling and filtration steps, enabling electricity production and transmission at the end of the process. 

Initially, the raw material, coal, is extracted from mining sites. The extracted coal is then crushed into smaller pieces and transported by trucks to a gasifier, where the coal is converted into gas form through high-temperature heating. The resulting gas is transferred to another facility for condensation, where it is cooled to remove excess heat. 

Once the desired temperature is achieved, the process continues with purifying the cooled substance to remove impurities. Subsequently, it is passed to a gas-powered plant that generates electricity and facilitates the removal of residual heat as a by-product during electricity generation. The final product is transmitted through power lines to residential and industrial areas, powering homes, businesses, and industries.

Bước 3: Hoàn thành bài luận

Social networking platforms are used by a number of people to keep in contact with others and stay abreast of the latest affairs. In my opinion, there appear to be limited drawbacks to this technological advance, and the benefits far overshadow these negative aspects.

With regard to the first argument of allowing more opportunities for social interaction, opponents of this viewpoint might argue that the proliferation of online sites has given rise to social withdrawal. They contend that social media users nowadays are becoming increasingly addicted to chatting with online people and mainly form virtual relationships, which are a poor substitute for real-world connections. Although this can be a legitimate concern, I do not believe that this is a likely scenario, given the fact that thanks to these platforms, Internet users, regardless of age, have a tendency to meet their friends far more frequently, as conversations online often lead to more in-person meetings. Moreover, these social networking sites, with the integration of features such as texting and video calling, have broken down communication barriers, allowing individuals living far away from their hometown to easily stay in touch with their distant family members or relatives.

Concerning the matter of staying informed about news events, there is no doubt that social media tends to get the scoop on major stories, thereby meeting the quest for timely and most recent information among the masses. By contrast, readers of newspapers and viewers of television more often than not get access to outdated information, as information on these mainstream media outlets has to go through an inherent process of rigorous censorship before being reported to citizens. In addition, online news consumers can obtain news occurring on both domestic and international levels, which, in turn, allows people to enrich their reading experiences, as they are not confined to solely local coverage. Of course, one might argue that the exposure to sensational headlines or any inaccurate and biased information on the Internet is becoming a huge concern, but with media literacy initiatives, the rising awareness of online literacy and the ability to cross-reference sources, this no longer poses any problems to those consuming news online.

In conclusion, while there are certain disadvantages associated with the use of social media, these issues can generally be overcome, and there are definite benefits to using this platform for the purpose of strengthening connections with other people and keeping up-to-date with the latest events.
