II. IELTS WRITING TASK 2 - SAMPLE ESSAYS CHỦ ĐỀ TEENAGER

1. Today's teenagers have more stressful lives than previous generations. Discuss this view and give your own opinion.

⇒ Sample Essay:

Despite a continuing improvement in standard of living, many people believe that young people suffer more stress than older generations. In this essay, the arguments surrounding the issue of teenage stress will be discussed.

Firstly, teenagers are exposed to more products than earlier generations as a result of living in a modern consumer society. Through films and the media, they see celebrities with expensive jewellery, clothes and cars. In addition, youth-oriented advertising gives them an awareness of the latest technology such as digital music formats and mobile phones. Consequently, teenagers feel pressure to acquire these items. Some might argue that these pressures are not new. However, I believe that such stresses were not so strong during earlier times.

It could also be argued that pressures at school are stronger than before. In order to achieve the lifestyle they see in the media, teenagers must succeed in their studies so they can compete for the best jobs. Parental pressure, examinations and homework are all reported as causing increased levels of strain.

On the other hand, although it may be true to say that modern society produces certain stresses it does not necessarily mean that stress was previously absent. In earlier times, hunger and physical discomfort would undoubtedly have caused high levels of anxiety, as would hard physical labour, for example, working down a mine. Any balanced view must take into account these alternative factors.

To sum up, consumerism and academic pressures are powerful causes of stress on today's teenagers. Nevertheless, it is my view that these stresses are no greater than those experienced by earlier generations of teenagers.

2. Some people think that all teenagers should be required to do unpaid work in their free time to help the local community. They believe this would benefit both the individual teenager and society as a whole. Do you agree or disagree?

⇒ Sample Essay:

Some individuals nowadays feel that youngsters should accomplish unpaid volunteer work in their leisure time for the benefit of society. I completely believe that it is critical to involve children in volunteer activity. The primary issues will be discussed with examples in this essay.

To begin with, teenagers who participate in unpaid employment are more responsible for local society. When adolescents interact with other individuals, they become aware of the issues that people face daily, such as poverty, pollution, and others. Furthermore, we have all been affected by the present COVID-19 outbreak, and many people have suffered a loss. According to "The Voice of Vietnam- VOV” a volunteer who is anti-virus and empathizes with the mental pain that the patients are experiencing, he always gives oxygen and food to those who need it the most. As a result, volunteering helps students become the most responsible citizens in the country.

Furthermore, unpaid employment can assist youngsters in broadening their social contacts and developing soft skills. Because when they work in an unpaid job, they will meet a variety of individuals and acquire a range of skills and abilities from others, such as leadership, teamwork, communication, and dealing with challenging situations. For example, a recent study in Japan discovered that students who participate in volunteer work are more sociable, enthusiastic, and tolerant of others. They will grow more extroverted, energetic, and hard-working as compared to youngsters who do not perform unpaid employment.

To conclude, I feel that rather than paying, young people should perform unpaid social work because they can acquire many important skills and are more responsible to society.

3. In many parts of the world, children and teenagers are committing more crimes. Why is this happening? How should they be punished?

⇒ Sample Essay:

It is obviously true that the rapid rise of juvenile delinquency has become a common concern of many countries in the world. This essay presents several reasons for this trend as well as discusses some punishments that should be imposed to address the problem.

To begin with, the most important driving force behind this phenomenon would be the lack of parental care. There is a fact that orphans, adopted children, and teenagers who live in dysfunctional families are more likely to have disruptive behaviour towards others and easily commit serious offences. What's more, poverty seems to be a root cause of crime. As a rule, the abject poverty has a huge psychological influence on adolescents, then they turn to crime to obtain money, as they have not found anything that legally gets them out of such a situation.

There are a number of severe punishments that should be meted out to young criminals. Firstly, juvenile delinquents whose crime is not serious enough to be put in prison should be ordered to do community service. In this case, young offenders are required to work voluntarily for a certain period of time on local projects. A second penalty for those who are found guilty is that they should be forced to make full restitution to the victims for the damage done. Finally, the court would put youngsters who commit a crime on probation. Put them under supervision of local police using electronic monitoring, for example.

In conclusion, the lack of parental love and poverty are the two primary contributors to the increasing rate of juvenile crime in many parts of the world. These aforementioned non-custodial sentences would serve as deterrents.
