WRITING TASK 2 (AC + GT)
It is better for college students to live far away from home than live at home with their parents. Do you agree or disagree?
SAMPLE ANSWER
It is a highly debatable issue whether it is more advisable if university and college students to live far away from home than to live at home with their mother and father.
There are definite beneficial aspects of staying at home during university, one of which is the cost-effectiveness and time-efficiency. Either staying at the university dormitory or renting an apartment is quite expensive, and students are supposed to do their cooking, wash their laundry and mop the floor. By contrast, at home there are hi-tech appliances like vacuum cleaners, washing machines and students can rely on their parents’ assistance with all the chores. In addition, under the protection and guidance of parents, youths often receive moral lessons, shielded from the deleterious influences from their peers. No one would tempt them into bullying their classmates, stealing belongings from passers-by and students can have a positive mental growth as a consequence.
Students can also reap many benefits if choosing to stay near the university. Firstly, geographical proximity means that students are given hundreds of opportunities to blend in with people from different backgrounds and cultures. They can join in many extracurricular activities with their friends and enhance numerous soft skills, or build up harmonious relations with their landlord and learn to solve many real-life problems. Secondly, easier access to study facilities such as libraries, computer labs is only available if students stay-near the campus. This is conducive to their study progress as well as increase students’ freedom and independence in learning.
In conclusion, I pen down saying that there are benefits and drawbacks of both approaches and the decision is purely subjective, so I disagree that one is better than the other.
