Band 7 Example
Question: How do people benefit from trying new things?
Idea 1
Mental health and Well-being
Model Answer
If we do the same things every day, we might start feeling bored. Trying new things adds variety to life. For example, if you join a dance class because a friend suggested it, you'll meet new people, maybe find something you're good at, learn something new, and have fun. All these things are great benefits, and we'll feel much happier for trying new things.
Idea 2
Increased Confidence and Self-Efficacy
Model Answer
When people try new things, it helps them feel more confident. Facing and getting through challenges in new situations shows them they can do hard things. This makes them believe more in themselves. Each time they do something new and do well, it makes them feel good about their abilities. This helps them feel more independent and proud of what they can do.
Idea 3
Personal Growth and Development
Model Answer
Trying new things is really good for personal growth. When people do things they're not used to, they grow and learn. It helps them get better at dealing with changes and solving problems. They face new challenges and learn how to think differently to solve them. This makes people better at understanding situations and making decisions. All of this helps them become more well-rounded and strong in facing life's challenges.
