Many people believe that teacher should not give students tasks to do at home, others disagree

(IELTS TASK 2) TOPIC: EDUCATION

Some people believe that school children should not be given homework by their teachers, whereas others argue that homework plays an important role in the education of children. Discuss both of these views and give your own opinion.

Although many people believe that teacher should not give students exercises at home, others are of the opinion that homework has an essential part in the education of children. Personally, both sides of the statement should be taken into consideration for multiple reasons listed below.

With regard to giving children homework, people believe it is not acceptable for many reasons. On top of that, homework may become an invisible burden for children. After a long day at school, students are under pressure due to learning knowledge from teachers' lessons and taking exams. Therefore, they need time to relax and refresh their mind for the next day. In addition, students could lack time for other recreational things such as outdoor activities or spending time with their family. For instance, too much homework from school makes them stay at home to deal with instead of contributing their physical health by taking part in sports.

However, I do not think these arguments stand up to scrutiny as I am of the opinion that doing homework results in many benefits for student's education. Firstly, doing homework can create their independent learning and problem-solving skill. They have to solve with difficulty alone without the support from teachers and friends. Moreover, they could consolidate and have an in-depth understanding of what they have learned at school. Another point worth mentioning is that completing homework in time would establish children's responsibility for tasks they received. It is a good habit to finish tasks or work before the deadline and avoid laziness. This would be useful for their prospective career.

To sum up, there are strong arguments for and against giving homework for children. As has been outlined above, there are certainly cons to this action. Nevertheless, I maintain my original position is that homework has a positive impact on children.

(WARNING! STUDENT SCORING = ACCOUNT SUSPENSION !!!)

The most appropriate format for this type of essay response is the 5 paragraph response. That is the format where you do the following:
Par. 1: Prompt restatement
Par. 2: State the pubic point of view and give a general explanation of the support for it
Par. 3: State the other public point of view along with another general explanation
Par. 4: Your personal point of view. Make sure to support one of the two sides and explain why you support it.
Par. 5: Concluding paraphrase

The clarity of this discussion will always come from the individualized explanations of each public point of view. It shows that you have truly considered both discussion aspects and made a decision or created an opinion based on an an informed discussion. Your discussion format compresses the discussion points too much, leaving the reader with more questions than answers. So spread out your discussion. Think of all sides, the pros and cons, discuss, then opine.

Thank you for your feedback.
