IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
IELTS GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
Write a letter in response to the parent. In your letter, you should:
– discuss and evaluate the issues raised by the parent in the letter
– give your own views about teaching life skills and whether you think these lessons should replace other subjects in the curriculum
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear [Parent’s Name],
Thank you for your letter regarding the incorporation of life skills into the school curriculum. I appreciate your concern about the importance of teaching practical skills such as financial literacy, time management, and personal responsibility.
You raise a valid point that life skills are crucial for preparing students for real-world challenges. Indeed, such skills can significantly enhance their ability to manage day-to-day responsibilities and make informed decisions. However, while integrating life skills into the curriculum is valuable, replacing core subjects entirely may not be ideal. Core subjects such as mathematics, science, and language arts provide foundational knowledge that supports critical thinking and problem-solving.
Instead, a balanced approach might be more effective. Life skills could be integrated as part of existing subjects or included as supplementary modules. This would ensure students receive a comprehensive education while also gaining practical skills essential for their future success.
Thank you again for your thoughtful input.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
