Task 2

The document discusses the changing role of teachers in the classroom with the introduction of computers and technology in education. It argues that while computers have made learning more engaging and accessible, they cannot replace the human interaction provided by teachers. Teachers will continue playing an important role, especially at the primary level, by guiding students' acquisition of knowledge and serving as problem solvers. Though their role may change, teachers are still needed for their expertise in explaining complex concepts, determining individual student needs, and facilitating human interaction in the learning process.

Sample 1: As computers are being used more and more in education, there will be soon no

role for teachers in the classroom.


There is no doubt that education and the learning process has changed since the introduction of
computers: The search for information has become easier and amusing, and connectivity has
expedited the data availability. Though experts systems have made computers more intelligent, they
have not yet become a substitute of the human interaction in the learning process. In my opinion what
can be expected is a change of the teachers role, but not their disappearance from the classroom.
Nobody can argue that the acquisition of knowledge is more fun and easier with computers. The mere
activity of touching and exploring this device constitutes an enjoyable task for a child. This,
accompanied by the relaxing attitude and software interactivity, usually contributes to a better
grasping of new knowledge. At a higher educational level the availability of digital books, simulators
and other academic materials provide the student with an ever accessible source of information, that
otherwise would not be at hand.
But, besides the increasing complexity and behavior of intelligent software, which is usually embedded
in the academic digital material, the need for human interaction in the learning process will always be
present, at least in the foreseeable future. There is the necessity for a human being to be able to
determine what the specifics needs of each individual are. The expertise of a teacher in how to explain
and adapt complex concepts to different individuals can hardly be mimicked by a computer, no matter
how sophisticated its software is.
As computers are becoming a common tool for teaching, teachers should be more aware of their role
as guides in the acquisition of knowledge rather than transmitters of facts. They have to be open
minded to the changes that are taking places, keep updated and serve as problem solvers in the
learning process, thus allowing students to discover the fact for themselves.
To summarize, in my personal view, teachers play and will continue to play an important role in the
classroom, especially at the primary level. No matter how complex computers become, there will be
no replacement for the human interaction, but in the way haw thisinteraction takes place.
This is an excellent essay! Are you a native English speaker? Well done. The only problem is
that this essay is too long, 365 words instead of 250-265 maximum.
Sample 2: Improvements in health, education and trade are essential for the development
of poorer nations. However, the governments of richer nations should take more
responsibility for helping the poorer nations in such areas.
Todays world has been divided into developing and industrialised countries which the main difference
between them is the amount of money that governments apply in important sectors such as
education, health and commerce. Most of the poorer nations are buried in debts as a result of their
unbalanced finances which are reflect in afailed health care, an unstructured education system and a
weak international trade. This vicious cycle will continue indefinitely unless wealthier nations show
interest in minimizing the worldwide economic differences, as well as taking more responsibility for
assisting
less
fortunate
countries.

Most of the African countries live in sub-human conditions because of the extreme poverty, upheaval,
hunger, disease, unemployment, lack of education and both inexperienced and corrupt
administrations. The devastating consequences of the AIDS epidemic in those countries could improve
if the infected population were to receive free drugs to control the disease, have access to health
professionals and get information on how to prevent its spread. But this can only be achieved through
international help programs in which leaders of the worlds richest countries donate medicine and also
send doctors and nurses to treat and educate those in need.
Moreover, most of the poor countries rely on selling agricultural products and raw materials to rich
nations and buying industrialized products from them resulting in a huge financial deficit.

Consequently, they borrow a significant amount of money from the World Bank to try to improve their
broken economies, but sometimes the money disappears with no significant changes and they cannot
even pay the interest to the bank. Regarding this issue, last year the G8, which is comprised of
leaders of the eight richest nations, decided to forgive billions of dollars worth of debt owed by the
worlds poorest nations. In addition, they developed adequate loan programs to financially assist those
countries.
In conclusion, leaders of the industrialised countries play an indispensable role in assisting developing
nations in dealing with essential areas such as health, education and trade. Also, their aid is the key to
breaking the vicious cycle, which results in poverty and death.
This is a great essay, seems to be on a Band 8 level, theres nothing to improve here.
Sample 3: Financial education should be a mandatory component of the school program. To
what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
It is an obvious fact that financial aspects are a major part of the daily life, as an adult and even as a
young individual. Each and every one of us has to make financial decisions concerning recreation,
health, education and more. The question is whether to start with financial education as part of school
program or to postpone it for a later stage in life.
To begin with, being able to understand the value of money, the way the economic system works and
to interpret financial news and its implications is a virtue. Without this virtue, an individual, even a
young one, might suffer to some extent. For an example, a child who doesnt understand the concept
of money might find it more difficult to except choosing only one present out of more possible ones.
In addition, many adults are lacking capability of financial analysis. Quite often, the reason can be the
lack of sound foundations or insecurity when it comes to financial terms and concepts. Starting from
an early age, building a strong background, can very likely prevent such situation.
However, financial education necessarily involves quantifying and setting prices and value for services
and goods. It can easily turn young people into cynical human beings who lack emotion. Furthermore,
a tendency to self-concentration and egoism might rise when one start measuring everything from a
profit-making perspective.
In conclusion, financial education has both pros and cons. In my opinion, the advantages are more
significant than the disadvantages, making financial education an advisable component of the school
program. The disadvantages should be thought of as a certain price that young people have to pay
due to the characteristics of the world that we live in.
This is a wonderful essay. It covers the task, is correctly structured, the paragraphs are
logically connected, the structure of sentences shows excellent command of the English
language. The vocabulary is fine and both spelling and grammar are very good. See
comments underlined in blue for some minor corrections. Overall, looks like a Band 7.5
Band 8 essay.
