5月14日IELTS作文走题体验

　　Reminiscing about my IELTS Writing Task 2 on May 14th, 2005

　　First I glance at the topic (rephrase according to the same meaning): some people think school leavers should travel or work for a period of time instead of going directly to university.

　　Then I begin to write my essay.

　　(Recalling what I have written 3 hours ago)

　　Weather school leavers should travel or work for a period of time instead of going directly to university? It is difficult to reach a unanimous viewpoint on this controversial issue. In my opinion I support that school leavers should continue their education without any interruption.

　　First of all, the education system is unremitting system. From primary school to middle school, then to tertiary education, there are some intrinsic links, hence we should not interrupt this process. If school leavers enter universities directly, they can keep their study habits that spend a great amount of time being formed. If they travel or work for a period of time, they perhaps forget the previous knowledge. Therefore, people should continue their education, especially for adolescents.

　　Furthermore, universities are big families for adolescents. We know that people who share a same age, a similar interest, a resemblant personality can become good friends quickly. Therefore, school leavers should go to universities immediately to expand their society ties which are essential to their future career. Besides, people can receive systematic education in all aspects in universities, involving practical education. Another important benefit must be mentioned, that is the various facilities on campus; for example, laboratory, gymnasium, library, sports field and the like. With these facilities adolescents can be more intelligent, healthier.

　　Maybe someone would argue that travel or work for a period time can increase school leavers ‘practical experience contributing to their future career. But I insist my position. How can they achieve practical experience? If they know nothing about basic principles of modern society which is full of sophisticated technologies.

　　In conclusion, I believe school leavers should go to universities directly and receive systematic education which will have them attain more beneficial knowledge, have them shape and perfect their personalities, have them be more adaptable to technically modern society.

　　After I finished the task2, I went back to check the topic, at that moment my heart hurt because the last sentence stated that “please discuss the advantages and disadvantages about the opinion” Then I recognized that I had digressed due to the habits of writing GRE-AW(arguing the topic). But it was too late for to correct this fatal error. Another reason is that I didn’t take any IELTS training courses and only did one mock test by myself before I took the real one.
