Recent Exam IELTS Writing Task Question- & Education is not a luxury
Here is a recent question that appeared in IELTS writing exam. In this article we will provide you the model answer to the question along with the important vocabulary and phrases in the passage.
The question as quoted in the Writing Section II in the IELTS Writing Exam
‘Education is not a luxury but a basic human right & as such should be free for everyone irrespective of personal wealth. Do you agree or disagree?’
The model band-7 answer:
Education being the backbone of a nation is a vivid indicator of development. I partially agree with the view that education, in particular the primary level of education should be free for everyone.
To begin with, it is a natural human tendency that anything which is made free, declines in its value. Same can be the case with education also. The reason higher education is viewed with so much of respect is that there is an immense effort which goes into acquiring it. If it was otherwise, a lot of students would not put their mind & soul into it. Furthermore, making higher education free would even lower the motivation level of professors & faculties, thereby lowering the overall quality of education. Consequently, there are chances that the failure percentage may increase in case education is made free as the student would not have to bear the burden of fees anymore.
There are various ways in which the avenues of education can be widely opened & access made easy to every section & strata of people such as providing easy education loans with reduced rate of interest, introducing various effective scholarship policies to the meritorious students at the school level, maximum funding to colleges & universities. For example, the already existing Swami Vivekanand scholarship for the single girl child, for students from socially & economically backward communities has enabled India to progress in the field of education & research. To substantiate further, it has been reported that the number of school drop-outs has reduced from 25 millions in 2003 to 8.1million in 2009.
To conclude with, primary education should be made free but higher education should be made more accessible & not completely free .
Important Vocabulary and Phrases:
- backbone of a nation
- vivid indicator
- immense
- meritorious

Mashallah Best website that I have ever seen. I would like to suggest every one to visit this website and get much band as they can.
CAN SOMEONE REVIEW MY ESSAY PLEASE
i believe that everyone has different opinions on this topic. But In my opinion, specialised facilities should exist only to train the top atheltes. Yet, the governments still should provide other facilities for everyone else to use, you will never know if someone has a hidden talent and potential but don't know how to improve it beause there is no place to learn. Some people volunteer and build a basketball basket outside of their property just so other kids can play.
On the other hand, countries building specialised facilities for top atheletes is not a terrible thing. People like top atheletes should have a place only for them to train. Because, they can focus and open up their full potential in the place everything they need has provided.
For instance, they still can train at a gym or other not specialised facilites. However, the amount of people around them, the equipments that are not necessary are going to distract them.
Nonetheless, i would say that there are still a plenty of people with hidden potential. Since, in some country there aren't much facilities for the residents (such as training center, public gym) and they are unable to unlock the hidden talent and what they can do. Despite of that, every country should provide their citizen the opportunity to find what their talent its and what they can do for their country. I strongly believe that if the government had already provided this opportunity, a lot of great atheletes would have been born by now.
Excellent attempt indeed.
