Band 7 Example
Question: Are most people patient while waiting?
Idea 1
Yes
Model Answer
In the past, I think people didn't have much patience for waiting because they had nothing to do during unexpected delays. But now, it's different. When a train is canceled or a bus is late, we can use our phones and go online. For business people, they can easily check their emails or even join a meeting online. There are so many options. I believe the need for patience in these situations has disappeared.
Idea 2
No
Model Answer
Most people today just aren't patient when it comes to waiting. Everyone's so busy with their lives, so being stuck waiting is really annoying. Plus, I've noticed that a lot of people just can't stand being idle and they hate waiting around for anything.
