One of the requirements for a band 9.0 in task response(that’s not included in public version of band descriptors) is you need to be able look at the essay from a critic’s perspective.
Next time when you write an essay ask yourself this question: what points would a hater/critical reader raise against me?
In the excerpt above, I talked about homesickness and a critical reader would definitely say ‘well, they can still talk😒’. Considering the critic’s potential point, I included the underlined sentence.
Now, can you develop this argument in the same way:
Businesses would struggle without advertising.

The process by which plastic bottles are recycled can be outlined in nine consecutive steps. Overall, there are three main stages involved in the process, starting with the initial preparation of bottles, followed by the actual process of recycling, and lastly, production of a range of plastic items. Additionally, the process is a complex one, which requires much time and equipment to complete.
The first stage of process requires the involvement of several parties. Initially, people throw plastic bottles into recycling bins and these discarded bottles are collected by waste collection trucks. After the bottles have been delivered to the recycling facility, factory workers sort them into recyclable and non-recyclable ones.
The next stage begins when the recyclable bottles are compressed into blocks, which are then crushed. These crushed bits of plastic are then washed to remove dirt and other impurities. Subsequent to this, they pass through a machine to produce plastic pellets, followed by heating them in order to create raw material. In the last stage, the raw material is used to manufacture a variety of plastic products, ranging from containers and clothes to stationery such as pencils.

Some people think that there should be a complete ban on all forms of advertising.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
There is a view that all forms of advertisements should be removed. While banning advertising can bring some benefits, I do not think we should forgo all advertising.
One argument against advertisements is they usually promote harmful products. It is not uncommon to see commercials advertising products high in sugar, junk food, alcohol, and even tobacco. Even worse, these advertisements are often targeted at young people and sometimes children. Regular exposure to such advertising can encourage them to buy those potentially harmful products.
However, most advertisements are too useful to ban. Firstly, they can be informative. They often inform the public about the availability, price, and quality of a particular product or service. This advantage offered by advertising is especially helpful for people with busy schedules as they can learn about their potential purchase at their own convenience without having to leave their home.
Businesses would suffer even more from the complete ban on advertisements. Since their emergence, advertisements have become the most effective tool to reach out to customers. While businesses can employ other marketing tools, such as discounts, word of mouth, and event marketing, most companies and producers would likely see a downturn in business if they did not rely on advertising. This highlights the significance of advertising for businesses.
In conclusion, I do not disregard the potential harm which advertising can cause but banning all types of advertising would be an unreasonable course of action because they inform the public and help businesses to attract customers.

People living in the 21st century have a better life quality than people who lived in previous times.
Do you agree or disagree?
There is a view that people today have a higher quality of life than in the past. While modern life has its problems, people are living much better life than in previous times.
One main threat we face today is environmental disasters. Due to factors such as rapid industrialization, deforestation, and increased production, air pollution and global warming have become major problems. These human-induced issues have resulted in the loss of biodiversity and emergence of several health issues, affecting millions of people around the world. In the past, however, people tended to enjoy richer biodiversity and cleaner environment.
Despite these problems, life today is much better for the majority. Firstly, recent years have seen major advancements in medicine. Some of the recent breakthroughs in this field include antibiotics, vaccines, and technologies that allow for effective diagnosis. Thanks to these developments, many deadly diseases, such as smallpox, measles, and polio have been eliminated, which resulted in healthier life and longer life expectancy in many parts of the world.
A better work-life balance is another factor that contributes to happier life. Technological revolution now means that people are less physically involved in their jobs and house-chores as well as having more opportunities for entertainment. Reduced physical workload, easy access to leisure activities, and increased connectivity significantly have improved the quality of life for many people.
In conclusion, life today is not without its drawbacks. However, the problems are insignificant compared to the comforts of modern life thanks to developments in medicine and technology.

1. A good topic sentence should include the main topic of the essay, main idea of the paragraph and whether this idea is a disadvantage/advantage/reason/cause/effect.
2. Try to avoid using linking words, instead use referencing and other ways of connecting. This helps to make your essay smooth and easy to follow. The less there are linking words, the better and smoother your essay is.
3. Don't start your second paragraph abruptly, create a bridge between 1st and 2nd paragraphs before mentioning your ideas for the 2nd body paragraph.
4. This bridge is restating your position. While doing this use stronger language to emphasize your opinion.
5. The best conclusion is the one that summarizes the main points of the essay.
6. Make clear your position throughout the essay. This can be done by mentioning your position in introduction, 2nd paragraph and conclusion.
7. Using the same words is way better than using wrong words.

‘While’ is a very effective linking tool
🏃♂️You can use it to make comparisons:
⏩While city life offers many benefits, it often comes with its drawbacks.
🏃♂️You can use it to show your position:
⏩While increasing the price of fuel can be an effective measure, I believe there are far better ways to reduce pollution.
🛑Note that in these contexts ‘while’ is different to ‘while I was sleeping, my brother was cleaning the room’

Brothers and sisters, mazza qilib essay yozish kerak:)
Читать полностью…There is too much noise in many public places in cities.
What are the causes of this problem? = causes
What can be done to solve the problem? = solutions
People often complain about noise pollution in public places in cities. While this can be attributed to increased levels of traffic in cities and construction, encouraging people to use public transportation and relocating urban developments can alleviate/mitigate the problem.
One major driver of noise pollution in public places is the sheer number of private cars. This is because many people opt for such vehicles because of the comfort they provide: they are fast, convenient, and allow people to travel wherever they want. Alternative options, such as buses, mini buses, and subways are often overcrowded and not so well maintained. Overpopulation is another contributory factor. In recent years, rural-to-urban migration has increased, which resulted in an increased demand for housing. In order to meet this demand, a large scale of construction is taking place in urban centers, leading to excessive noise levels.
However, there are many steps that can be taken to address the problem. Firstly, people should be encouraged to rely on public transportation rather than private cars. If there were more frequent public transport, with improved comfort for passengers, they would be more likely to take those modes of transports. As a result, noise generated by private cars would be reduced. Another effective solution is to move constructions to other areas. When these developments are relocated away from densely-populated areas of the city, such as the outskirts, this can drastically reduce the amount of noise in city centers.
In conclusion, the main reasons behind the increased noise in cities are the traffic and construction but investment in public transportation and relocation of some developments can resolve the issue.

One disadvantage of moving away from familiar surroundings is homesickness. When a person starts a new life in another city or country, it is natural that they miss their family members and friends. While it is possible to keep in touch with them on the phone or through social media, a lack of regular in-person interactions with close people can lead to a feeling of isolation and sometimes depression.

Some people think that the best way to increase road safety is to increase the minimum legal age for driving cars or riding motorbikes.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
There is a view that the most effective approach to improve road safety is to increase the legal age when people become eligible for driving cars or riding motorbikes. While this can contribute to safety on roads, I believe there are far better ways to achieve this.
Immature drivers are one of the main reasons for the increase in traffic accidents. These people often have characteristics that may make them break traffic rules. For example, younger drivers have a tendency for reckless driving, speeding, and being involved in illegal races. If the minimum legal age for obtaining driver’s license was increased, this would prevent many road accidents resulting from immature behavior.
However, other more effective approaches should be explored. One is offering regular education to drivers. This is because young drivers are not the only ones who commit traffic violations. So, instead of targeting one demographic, all the drivers should be educated even after they obtain their license. This would ensure that drivers have the chance to update their knowledge on operating vehicles and further improve their skills, which can contribute to road safety.
Imposing stricter punishment is another solution. Oftentimes, it is due to lenient penalties that some drivers break traffic rules and these mild punishments somewhat encourage such a behavior as the consequences of a traffic violation are not harsh. If traffic offenders face more severe punishments, such as hefty fines, license suspension, and jailtime, these can serve as a deterrent to potential law-breakers, potentially improving the safety of both drivers and passengers.
In conclusion, increasing the minimum driving age is not the most sensible way to make our roads safer. Instead, governments should educate drivers on a regular basis and introduce harsher punishments.

As part of the WRITING COURSE, I wrote an essay(half of it)
We’ve looked into:
✅How to research topics using articles and chatGPT
✅How to write 2 types of introductions
✅How to write very good topic sentences
✅How to develop main arguments
Here’s the essay:
Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
My position: advantages outweigh the disadvantages
Version 1: Problems related to transport and accommodation are forcing many businesses to relocate
from urban centers to rural areas. While there are some downsides to moving to rural areas, they are
outweighed by the benefits.
Version 2: Problems related to transport and accommodation are forcing many businesses to relocate
from urban centers to rural areas. The downsides of moving to rural areas can include slower growth for
businesses and inadequate transport infrastructure but these drawbacks are outweighed by the benefits,
such as the lower cost of doing business and lack of competition.
One disadvantage of opening a business in rural areas is the slow rate of growth. Many urban businesses witness faster growth thanks to unique selling points, customer services and customer-drive products, while in rural areas, businesses may have smaller customer base and the cost of living in these areas is also lower. This often means that it may take longer for a business to thrive than those in urban areas. Poor transport infrastructure can be another drawback. This especially poses a challenge for businesses
that rely on transportation. For example, businesses that import or export products can be at a disadvantage as they may face delays in delivering or receiving goods due to the lack of adequate
infrastructure.

Many students find it difficult to focus or pay attention at school nowadays.
What are the reasons for this?
What can be done to solve this problem?
Paying attention to the lessons at school has become challenging for many students. While this can be attributed to distractions such as phones and teacher-centered lessons, imposing restrictions on phones and organizing more interactive lessons can alleviate the situation.
Phones can be the main culprit behind the lack of concentration in students. Students frequently use social media applications and other platforms to socialize with their peers, stay updated with current affairs, or watch entertaining content. Even during the lessons, students often receive notifications and send messages to each other, which can definitely divide their attention. Outdated teaching methods are another factor. In many countries, it is the teacher who speaks the most during the lessons while student involvement remains very low. This often results in boredom and lack of attention.
However, there are many ways by which the problem can be addressed. Firstly, the exposure to phones should be restricted. To do this, parental supervision is crucial as parents have more control over their children. Schools can also contribute to limiting phone usage by banning electronic devices in their premises. Apart from this, teachers should start implementing contemporary teaching techniques in their lessons. The lessons would be more engaging if the they were more student-oriented and teachers made use of modern technologies.
In conclusion, the main reasons behind the lack of attention during the lessons are phones and boring lessons but the situation can be improved by restricting phone usage and offering more interactive lessons.
