IELTS WRITING TASK 2 (AC + GT)
Some people believe that studying abroad is important because it expands a person’s knowledge and understanding of the world. Others feel that it is better to study at home because that is the best way to prepare for a career in the student’s own country. Discuss both these views, and give your opinion.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Some students like to spend time studying in a foreign country so that they can learn more about the world. Others prefer to complete all their studies in their own country so they will be ready for a career there. In my opinion, studying abroad can contribute a lot to anyone’s education, and it can even help students be better prepared for any career they choose.
Students who choose to study abroad are interested in learning more about the world. Studying abroad gives them the opportunity to gain knowledge beyond what they learn in the classroom. By spending time in a foreign country, they learn about:, other ways of thinking and living. They learn to get along with different kinds of people and to appreciate different ways of doing things.
Students who choose to study at home are concerned about being prepared for a professional career. They may feel that spending a semester or a year abroad will distract them from their studies. They may feel that the education they get in their own country is the best preparation they can get for work in their own country.
I understand that students want to be well prepared for their careers, but I don’t believe that a classroom is the only place to get that preparation. We have a global economy, so it is important to understand how things are done in other countries. The best way to learn about that is by spending time in other countries. Additionally, living in another country, studying there, and making friends there helps open a student’s mind to new things and new ideas. In my opinion, that is the best kind of preparation anyone can get for a professional career.
We can learn a lot both inside and outside the classroom, especially if that classroom is in a foreign country.
