1.In many workplaces, online communication is becoming more commonplace than face-to-face meetings. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Introduction
Yes, I strongly agree that in many workplaces, online communication is becoming more commonplace than face-to-face meetings.
Body Paragraph 1
This is because we have recently experienced a pandemic which forced companies to go remote to switch to remote working.
The pandemic also made it unsafe for face-to-face meetings
(Develop this a little bit further and give some examples that’s enough for body paragraph one)
Body Paragraph 2
Another reason why online communications is becoming more prevalent than face-to-face meetings is that if a company pushes meetings online there are lots of advantages such as no travel costs for their employees so they don’t have to commute. If an office in Bangalore wants to have a meeting with an office in New York they can schedule it and there are zero travel requirements for the offices involved. This is also better for the environment by reducing pollution caused by airplane and vehicle fossil fuels.
Conclusion
Yes I strongly agree that it is becoming more prevalent due to the numerous advantages these include the cost environment the safety
2. The increasing demand for oil and gas has made it necessary to look for these energy sources in remote and untouched natural places. Do you think the advantages of locating oil and gas in these areas outweigh the disadvantages of damaging these places?
Introduction
There are many advantages and disadvantages of finding oil and gas resources in untouched natural places.
Body Paragraph 1 (Advantages)
Due to the isolated nature of these areas, energy sources are usually found in vast and large quantities. For example, there are millions of gallons and cubic meters of gas in the Arctic. This can help bring down the cost of these resources and make energy cheaper which could further stimulate the economy, By stimulating the economy, the discovery of these energy sources can generate employment in these otherwise secluded areas
Body Paragraph 2 (Disadvantages)
However, this can be incredibly dangerous for these remote places. For example, if we start drilling more frequently in the arctic it’s only a matter of time until there is an oil leak because this usually happens over a long period of time and a long period of drilling
Conclusion
Although new energy sources can help the economy, I think it is time to transition away from fossil fuels because of the risk of climate change and also human activity especially mining, drilling and extraction of resources has destroyed an unfathomable amount of the earth already. Rather than looking for new resources, we should develop new technologies that are environmentally friendly.
3. Some people think it is a better way to leave their home country to improve their work and living opportunities, while others think staying in their own country is a better choice. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Introduction
Leaving your country to improve your opportunities and staying back in your home country both have pros and cons.
Body Paragraph 1
Some of the pros of relocating abroad include experiencing a new culture, developing new skills, building a new network by meeting new people and learning more up-to-date ways of working.
Body Paragraph 2
One of the advantages of staying in your own country is compounding relationships. This means the longer you have a relationship with somebody the stronger it gets, rather than just starting from zero which you would have to do in a new country.
A second advantage of staying in your own country is there is no learning curve for you while staying there. You already know you know where everything is in in the city you know everybody, you know which people to trust so there’s no learning curve there. This saves time and could also improve efficiency.
Another advantage is it keeps costs low as there’s no travelling involved which can be very beneficial especially when you’re starting out in your new career.
Conclusion
Going abroad has lots of advantages that should definitely be pursued however, having a home base with a trusted network is also invaluable. I think the way to enjoy the best of both worlds is by establishing a base in your home country, staying there for the majority of the year and spending a few months abroad each year if your work permits it.
4. Although, it is generally illegal corporal punishment continues in many countries. Others argue that parents should have the right to punish their children in this way. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Introduction
I strongly disagree that parents have the right to issue corporal punishment because there are more modern ways of disciplining a child such as sending them to a corner or asking them to write about what they just did, getting them to think through what they just did or even just to limit their time with their favourite toys such as the iPad.
Body Paragraph 1
Furthermore, scientific studies have shown that corporal punishment is amongst the least effective measures a parent can take to correct behaviour in their student in their children
Body Paragraph 2
Another reason I disagree with corporal punishment for children by parents is that it results in psychological issues for the child later in life. It is also highly likely that the parent has zero knowledge of the human anatomy and could actually harm the child for the rest of their life if they hit them too hard.
Conclusion
I strongly disagree that parents have the right to use corporal punishment on their children because of the risks and the level of its effectiveness.

Thanks for sample answers above.
I observed in all introductions given above, questions task were not paraphrase, don’t we need that again?
And from past knowledge I had about task 2, we suppose to write 250 words, hope this rule has not change. Thanks.
Hi, these are just quick ideas, rather than full essays. You still need to write around 350 to get above a Band 7.
Hello sir, I am wondering why the introduction remains unchanged here; i.e, no paraphrasing has been used.
Well spotted Juwa! Some of these were just quick starts, with the focus being on ideas, more than introductions.
