Chủ đề: Society | Bài mẫu đề thi IELTS Writing Task 2
Society is based on rules and laws. If individuals were free to do whatever they want to do, it could not function. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above statement?
Đề bài đề cập đến chủ đề xã hội và pháp luật. Người viết được yêu cầu nêu rõ quan điểm, đồng ý hay không đồng ý với ý kiến “xã hội sẽ không thể vận hành nếu các cá nhân được tự do làm bất kỳ điều gì họ muốn”
Đây là dạng bài “Opinion”, một dạng câu hỏi cực kỳ phổ biến trong phần viết IELTS, yêu cầu người viết đưa ra một quan điểm rõ ràng về một ý kiến nào đó. Ý kiến này được thể hiện xuyên suốt, nhất quán giữa mở bài, thân bài và kết bài.
Lỗi thường gặp ở dạng bài này chính là việc quan điểm của người viết không thống nhất hoặc không được thể hiện một cách rõ ràng. Bên cạnh đó, người viết cần phải lưu ý đề cập được tất cả các phần của đề bài. Nếu chỉ tập trung phân tích một ý chính và bỏ qua ý còn lại, điểm Task Response của bài viết sẽ bị giảm xuống 6.
Rules and laws are the basis of most modern-day societies. Some people believe that society could not function if people were free to do as they please. I partly agree with this idea, and will discuss the issue in the following essay.
Many people fear that society would deteriorate into chaos if there were no rules or laws in place to control people’s behaviour. They believe that rules and laws exist in order to set boundaries so that people behave in a way that is conducive to a peaceful and functioning society. I believe this is true to a certain extent. For example, if there were no laws or rules, and therefore no police to enforce those rules, then a certain number of people may try to take advantage of such a situation and some upheaval may result as a consequence. However, this would only be temporary, as I believe that the majority of human beings are good people and would ultimately unite against those who were causing distress to the rest of society, once again resulting in a peaceful state.
However, I do believe that the amount of laws and rules that people are subjected to in most modern-day societies causes more harm than good. Most laws and rules these days benefit a minority of people, while the majority are still being affected by the very rules and laws that are there to protect them. For example, in many countries it is illegal to own a gun. However, when a criminal breaks into their home and attempts to murder them with a dangerous weapon, they are unable to defend themselves effectively. Furthermore, many rules and laws these days favour the rich and oppose the poor. That is why in most countries the gap between the rich and poor is getting bigger and bigger.
In conclusion, I believe there only needs to be one universal law, “Do no harm to others”. The innate goodwill and intelligence of human beings will naturally create the most peaceful and productive human societies possible, without the endless amounts of unnecessary rules and laws of today.
Từ vựng
Laws and rules are said to be the building blocks of our society and have brought stability by acting as a solid framework for all citizens to abide by. For this reason, I agree that it is vital that individuals follow these social guidelines.
Throughout the course of history, it has been well-proven that laws have bound humans as a community. Laws could be understood as a set of social guidelines that set each person’s responsibility. One case in point are regulations about food safety. At the state and local level, restaurants must follow rules on sanitary food storage and preparation to ensure diner’s safety. At a national level, production plants should be examined by governmental agencies to guarantee that food at markets will be of top quality. Thanks to food safety regulations, the relationship between consumers and service providers will be balanced and indisputable.
Moreover, rules and regulations ensure equality for people of all social stratas. When there are no laws, humans can freely do as they please, thus, resulting in discrimination between different classes. That the rich would be favored while the poor would be opposed, and the gap between the well-off and the less fortunate would widen is likely to happen. For example, a famous case of laxed law and order, leading to double standards is the scandal of the Red Bull heir, who was charged with a hit and run but has managed to escape retribution for years. If the criminal was an everyday citizen, he would now be serving his sentence. Thailand’s public was angered and have been demanding for the law to be enforced.
In conclusion, when there are no laws and rules, the society would fall into chaos and some of its fundamentals, such as equality, could not be achieved. Therefore, humans should put these founding pillars as our top priorities instead of acting on our own wills.
Từ vựng
It is generally understood that society is held up by the rules and laws made by people. Nevertheless, some people think that society could still properly function even if its members could do anything they desired without fearing the legal consequences. I wholeheartedly disagree as I support the idea that a civilized society would descend into anarchy when individuals are entirely free to do whatever they want.
There are several immediate adverse effects of this kind of situation. First, people will be less concerned about others, and their decisions would be more motivated by self-interest. Furthermore, knowing that they cannot be punished by the law for their actions, many people will only become more brazen over time, eventually attempting to satisfy their primal instincts no matter what. Greed, rage, and lust are three clear examples that can result in morally reprehensible behaviour should people’s decisions ever become unchecked in society. For instance, a company can sell faulty yet cheaply produced merchandise to customers in order to increase their profit margin when consumer protection laws are not in place, or a maniac can murder someone on the road for making him angry and still get away afterwards.
To make matters worse, such a situation will encourage malicious people to claim power and coerce others for their gains. Self-styled and local “lords” will arise, recruiting followers using both promises of order and threats of violence. As a result, the current society would stop existing and instead regress into brutal conflicts among powers fighting for control. Ultimately, these conflicts may spread, and humanity’s fate will hang in the balance. In their quest for power, such self-proclaimed leaders would sacrifice their supporters, pushing humankind to extinction with the abundance of murderous tools. Hence, the absence of the rule of law should never occur so that we will not face our eradication as a species.
In conclusion, the consequences of a situation where people in society are unrestricted in their actions are bleak. That is why every reasonable individual should understand the necessity of having rules and try their best to maintain the laws of society.
