IELTS Writing /SpeakingコミュのQuestion & Sample Answer NO2

* SAMPLE ANSWER *

　Today education has become a priority for many parents seeking to secure a good future for their children in this rapidly changing world.They believe that if their children apply themselves and work hard at school.then they will increase their opportunities for going to higher education and eventually getting a good job. Ofcouse they are right,and as access to the best education and best jobs is becoming more compertitve,then it is true that children have to make the best of their study time when they are young.

However, the parents who do not allow their children sufficient free time for leisure activies outside school hours,are misguided.Such activities are far from being a waste of time for the children simply because they are not academic. It is important to remember that children need to develop skills other than intellectual ones, and the best way to do this is through activities such as sports,games and playing with other kids. If they connot play make -believe games, how can they develop their imagination? How can they learn physical co-ordination or learn important social lessons about winning and losing if they do not practise any sports? Many children from strong personal relationships with the friends they play with, and without the opportunity to do this.they could grow up emotionally immature or unformed.

Finaly, I think it is also important to remember that children need to relax as well as work.It everything they do must have some educational or academic relevance then,they will soon get tired of studying altogether , which is the last thing parents would want.

Task 2 sample answer:
There is an issue of what are the purposes of the places like museums. Some people suggest that the government should invest a small amount of money, others think the museum is a financial burden to society. What is your opinion? And how should they be funded?

Currently a growing number of governments are investing some money in museums. Some people believe this will benefit the whole society while others maintain that the government should tighten its budget and spend the money on more important things. To my mind, the former view does make sense.

We can hardly lose sight of the fact that every country prides itself on the glory of its own history. Undoubtedly, the museum, which usually boasts a collection of objects of artistic and historical value, plays a vital role in recording a country’s history. By visiting museums, we can not only learn about our history and civilization, but gradually cultivate a sense of social responsibility, which normally stems from a clear understanding of mankind’s history. For instance, if young people come to know what their ancestors have contributed to the development of their country, they will be inspired to dedicate themselves to the economic well-being of society. Moreover, in the museum, they will also learn something that can not be acquired from books. In addition, revelling in nostalgic memories is likely to be a sort of great enjoyment and relaxation. Therefore, it will be beneficial to the whole society if the government takes the lead in funding museums.

However, we have to admit that some countries, especially poor ones, may have difficulty spending a large sum of money in this respect, but they are able to organize fundraising activities so that wealthy members of society can donate money to public facilities such as museums. As far as I know, this is common practice in many countries.

In the final analysis, it is quite clear that museums are treasure troves of mankind. The government, as well as the individuals, should endeavour to provide enough funds for them to be on the right track. （300 words）
