Task 2 Samples
Some people think that parents should teach their
children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that
school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your own
opinion.
Some people believe that children should be taught
by their parents about how to function as useful members of society, while
others believe that sending children to educational institutions is the best
way for them to study this. Although the latter opinion can be beneficial in
some cases, I believe that family upbringing plays a more important role in
educating children to be good parts of the community.
Schools can be considered suitable places for
children to learn to be good citizens. With standardized educational methods,
schools can foster children’s cognitive development so that they are able to
contribute to society in the future. For example, Trung Vuong school and
Vinschool are well known for having nurtured successful alumni such as
Professor Ngo Bao, Professor Nguyen Hung who have devoted their talents to the
development of the country. However, these people only represent a small
fraction of the total number of students attending schools, and thus sending
children to schools cannot be the best method of educating them to be good
members of society.
I believe that parents play a more important role
in teaching them how to be good citizens. In Vietnam, the average class size is
20 students, which makes it difficult for educators to provide proper schooling
for each student. One to one lessons at home, on the other hand, allow children
to progress faster. Furthermore, parents form stronger bonds with their
offspring and thus, it is easier for them to shape children’s personalities at
an early age. For example, by telling stories such as Robin Hood, Cinderella
before bedtime, parents can instil a sense of compassion and integrity into
them. These children are likely to become good members of society when they
grow up.
In conclusion, although sending children to schools
can be seen as a way of teaching them how to be good citizens, I believe that
domestic upbringing has a bigger impact on determining who they are in the
future.
There is an increasing trend around the world of
married couples deciding not to have children. Discuss the advantages and
disadvantages for couples who decide to do this.
An increasing number of married couples around the
world choosing to remain childless. The main benefits of not having a child for
couples are that they can focus on their careers and have more time for
themselves. The main drawbacks are that they could not fit into their peers’
group and have no one to look after them when they get old.
One primary advantage of remaining childless for
married couples is that they can focus on their work. This is because they have
less responsibility and distractions in their lives compared to the couples
that have a child. Another advantage of this is that they have more spare time.
Looking after a child is a full-time job for parents and taking most of their
time, while child-free couples have lots of free time after work. For example,
many couples stop going out late with their friends after having a child as
they have to stay at home for looking after their children.
One disadvantage of couples deciding not to have
children is that they can struggle to hang with their peers after most of them
have children. Most parents prefer to spend more time with other couples that
have children as well. Moreover, do not have anyone to look after them in their
elderliness is another disadvantage. Children are the ones who take care of
their parents when they get old because their parents did the same for them
when they were young. For instance, the vast majority of the people who live in
care homes have no child.
In conclusion, the main benefits of staying
child-free for couples are that they can be more career-oriented and have more
free time for themselves, and the main drawbacks are that they could have
problems about fitting into their friends’ group and having no one to take care
of them when they become older.
