IELTS WRITING TASK 2 – CHỦ ĐỀ “VALUE”

(PHẦN 2)

ĐỀ:  3.  People who have original ideas are of much greater value to society than those who are simply able to copy the ideas of others well.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

BÀI MẪU:

I certainly agree that people who come up with new ideas; in other words, those who ‘invent’ or ‘discover’ things are terribly important to society as a whole. However, I also think there is a role in society for good imitators.

No one would deny that key individuals must be thanked for providing us with certain facilities that we use every day. Where, would we be, for example, without basic items such as the washing machine, the television and, more recently, the computer? These items are now used so regularly that we tend to take them for granted.

In fact, the society we live in today has become increasingly consumer-oriented, and while it may be possible to constantly update and improve consumer goods, not everyone where I live can afford the prices of these innovations. Furthermore, not everyone lives in an area that has accessibility to the latest models on the market. For this reason, there is a value to be placed on being able to provide good copies of expensive items.

Having said that, certain innovations have a more serious impact on our lives than consumer goods and cannot easily be replicated. Vital medicines like penicillin and vaccines against dangerous diseases also exist because people made continual efforts to develop them. Scientific ideas such as these enable us to live longer and escape illness.

PHÂN TÍCH TỪ VỰNG:

Phần introduction:

• “Imitators”: những người bắt chước người khác (a person who copies someone or something that they think is good)

Từ “imitators” mà người viết sử dụng đã bao hàm và thay thế cho cụm “those who are simply able to copy the ideas of others” (đây cũng là 1 trong những cách thể hiện rằng bạn là người biết cách dùng từ hợp lý)

Phần body:

• “Take them for granted”: không biết trân trọng, coi là hiển nhiên (To underestimate or undervalue someone or something; to not properly recognize or appreciate someone or something)
• “Consumer-oriented” (adj): những việc hướng theo nhu cầu, sở thích của người tiêu dùng (relating to the needs and interests of individual consumers, rather than businesses)
• “Accessibility”: khả năng tiếp cận, truy cập (the fact of being able to be reached or obtained easily)
• “To be placed on”: đặt cái gì đó lên hàng đầu (to put, set, or lay someone or something on top of someone or something)

Phần conclusion:

• “Having said that”: mặc dù đã nói như vậy (despite what has just been said)
• “Replicated”: bắt chước, sao chép (to make or do something again in exactly the same way)
• “Vital”: quan trọng, thiết yếu (necessary for the success or continued existence of something; extremely important)
• “Continual efforts”: tiếp tục diễn ra (happening often; repeating)
