Co-ed college or single-sex school



There have been some debates as to whether the single-sex school and co-ed counterparts. Some argue that it would be better for school to divide mixed both sexes due to more distraction when others believe that the benefits such as interpersonal communication. However, although co-ed school provides the advance face-to-face communication, I believe that single-sex school offers more beneficial with less distraction so student more focuses on their personal achievement in their school.

The biggest issue in the single-sex versus co-ed schools debate is the possibility of distraction in the classroom. Many people say that if the other sex is in the classroom, the overly permissive students can be harmful due to less attention to the teacher. According to US Department of Education, from 40 quantitative studies compared between single-sex school and co-ed school that single-sex school outcomes related to academic achievement and more positive academic aspirations. I believe that the main benefits of single-sex schooling are decreasing distractions to learning, and improving student achievement.

The perspectives of the other sex are lost in discussion in the single-sex classroom. The ability to communicate with the other sex may not develop as quickly and it is essential for the professional world. For example, one study reported that dividing boys and girls into separate classrooms actually delaying the development of interpersonal communication. On my opinion, to identify it needs more professional development for teachers on meeting the distinct needs of boys and girls in co-ed sex public schools.

In conclusion, while co-ed college provides the advance face-to-face communication, I slightly agree with that single-sex school gives extra useful with less distraction so student more awareness on their personal achievement.

Hi Furqan,

Firstly, I think you should write the question fully so that readers could classify exactly the type of the essay.

Secondly, Some sentences seem to be incomplete

There have been some debates as to whether the single-sex school and co-ed counterparts + Verb

when (while/whereas) others believe that the benefits such as interpersonal communication + verb

offers more beneficial => offers more benefits

so student more focuses on ... => so that students are more likely to focus on their personal achievements.

Furqan, the first thing you have to understand is that unlike a TOEFL essay, the IELTS essay does not allow you to immediately discuss the facts of the topic for discussion due to its specific writing and scoring format. Each paragraph has a specific purpose and along with that purpose, is a specific scoring consideration. You failed to properly address the requirements per paragraph so that will have a direct effect on your Task Accuracy score.

The first paragraph is always used as the assessment portion of the test. How well did you understand the provided topic? Are you clear about the instructions as to how to present the discussion? Do you have an actual thesis statement with which to kick off your essay? These are the questions that the examiner will be responding to as he reviews your first paragraph. That is why the opening paragraph is also known as the opening "paraphrase". It must only reflect your understanding of the given points in relation to your potential discussion in the next paragraphs. Now, because you did not provide the original prompt in your posting, I will not be able to show you how to fix the mess that you created in your opening statement. It is so far removed from the TA requirements that your score will not be as high as you expect for that section. Mostly because you launched into an immediate discussion of facts rather than a proper thesis statement presentation in the paragraph.

Please remember that the personal opinions are presented as stand alone paragraphs in all these essays. The personal opinion must be threshed out completely and clearly for the reader. So when you write a single sentence opinion as part of an already existing paragraph discussion on a different topic, you will lose points in the C&C section.

You cannot use information from outside sources in the IELTS test because you do not have the sources for it in the testing center. Since you do not know what question you will be receiving in the test, you cannot preemptively research the information for the test. Therefore, the test taker scores better in the practice tests by simply using his personal experience, knowledge, and observation regarding the matter as the basis for his opinion statements.

By writing a run - on sentence for the conclusion, you will score lower in the C&C plus GRA section. The mark down will be because you presented a single sentence for your presentation when the requirement for each paragraph is that a completely developed thought and explanation process is presented within the minimum 3-maximum 5 sentence presentation.
