Band 7 Example
Question: Should students learn to do group work?
Idea 1
Yes
Model Answer
Yes, I think students should learn to do group work. When students work in groups, they have to talk and listen to each other, which helps them improve their communication skills. Also, in most jobs, people have to work in teams, so it's good practice for the future. Plus, students can share ideas and help each other, which makes learning easier and sometimes more fun.
Idea 2
No
Model Answer
No, I don't think group work is always necessary. Some students are more comfortable working alone and find group work stressful. Sometimes, one person ends up doing all the work, which isn't fair. Also, it can be difficult to find a time when everyone can meet, and not every subject or project is suitable for group work.
