안녕하세요 많은 분들이 IELTS 라이팅을 작성하면서 힘들어 하십니다.
저 또한 처음 IELTS를 접했을 때 도대체 어떻게 ESSAY를 작성해야 하는지 몰라서 엄청 고생했습니다.
다른 분들이 작성했던 에세이도 많이 보았었지만 도무지 감이 오질 않더군요.
그래서, 저 나름대로 아래의 틀을 만들어서 연습을 했습니다.
저는 IELTS 3번 시험 쳤었고 결과는 라이팅 6.0점 2번 마지막에 7.0점 1번을 받고 졸업했습니다.
그래서 6.0을 목표로 하시는 분들은 참고하시면 될 듯합니다.
아래 에세이는 제가 직접 작성한 내용입니다. 인터넷에 올리려고 하니 많이 부끄럽네요.
읽어보시면 아시겠지만, 어려운 단어가 전혀 없습니다. 저는 단어력이 좋지 않아서 어려운 단어는 몰라서 못 적습니다.
하지만, 7점을 받은 것을 보면 꼭 단어실력이 좋아야 한다는 선입견은 버리셔도 될 것 같습니다.
본문 중에서 굵은 글자로 쓰여진 부분을 외워 두셔서 그대로 인용하시거나 약간 변경을 하셔서 작성을 하시면 도움이 될듯합니다.
아래의 2본문은 가장 많이 나오는 유형의 문제들입니다.
라이팅은 엄청나게 많은 연습을 필요로 합니다.
저 같은 경우 많이 작성할 때에는 하루에 한번 씩 시계 옆에 갖다 놓고 실전 연습을 했습니다. 제일 처음 작성했을 때에는 시간 안에 맞추지도 못했었고 내가 읽어봐도 문제랑 많이 벗어났으며 문법이랑 철자랑 완전 엉망이었습니다.
꾸준하게 연습을 하시다 보면 가장 빨리 실력을 늘릴 수 있는 영역이 라이팅인듯 합니다.
우선, 문제를 보고 브레인스토밍 하는데 파트1, 2 포함 약 5분 이내로 잡으시고, 에세이 작성은 파트1, 파트2까지 해서 50분 내에 끝내도록 연습을 해야 합니다. 그래서, 나머지 5분 동안은 작성했던 에세이를 다시 읽어보고 문법이나 철자가 틀린 곳을 찾아서 수정해야합니다.
저의 경우, 수정까지 마치고 약 5분정도 남을 때까지 맹연습을 했던 것 같습니다.
무엇보다 중요한 것은 내가 작성한 에세이를 원어민 강사를 통해서 교정을 받으셔야 합니다. 그래야만, 내가 뭐가 틀렸는지 정확하게 알게 되고 그 같은 실수를 줄일 수 있기 때문입니다. 저 또한 이 과정을 통해서 라이팅에 대한 문법이나 VOCA도 많이 바로 잡을 수 있었던 것 같습니다.
1. Some people say that older people should live with their adult children, while other think that they should live in homes specially built for old people. What do you think is a better practice?
Over the past few decades, elderly population and public attention to the problems related to them has been increased tremendously. Some people have begun to feel that children should live with their elderly parents. However, other people believe that it is better for senior people to go to some facilities specially built for them. In this essay, we will discuss the pros and cons in detail.
There are lots of good point of living in homes specially built for old people. To begin with, that kind of house always have good facilities such as medical services. A medical checkup at regular interval is really import!!!ant for elderly people because they are easily become sick and depression. Furthermore, elderly people can have an opportunity to make friends in there as well. Finally, elderly people also don"t want to be a burden to their children.
On the other hand, many people still believe that it is much better to live with their elderly parents. Firstly, In this society, the life style is moving very fast so their children normally don"t have enough time to visit their parents and elderly people might feel lonely and sadness if they stay in a specially built house. Secondly, the number of elderly population is now increasing dramatically in contemporary society. For this reason, the government might have a heavy financial burden if they make lots of specially built houses for elderly people. In addition, the foundation and maintenance these facilities cost a huge amount of money.
As discussed above, although specially built houses are good for old parents, it creates many other problems. In my opinion, I insist that older people should live with their adult children if they don"t have enough ability to live because their children should have not grown if their parents didn"t support them when they are young. I also think the government should help them who live with their parents and don"t have enough money to support their parents.
2. What are some of problems that overpopulation causes? Suggest at least one possible solution.
Over the past few decades, the number of the world population has been increased dramatically. Such a sudden increase in population causes many problems in this contemporary society. In this essay, the problems and solutions will be discussed in detail.
A lot of people have begun to feel that there are many problems which is concerned with overpopulation. To begin with, the overpopulation is causing air population, water pollution and sound pollution because many people are using their private cars and many factories and houses are wasting dirty water and make noise. Furthermore, the proportion of consumption has been increased tremendously. For this reason, a lot of people destroyed nature such as trees, water and soils. In addition, we are now using too much money to keep our well-fare system because of increased number of old people even though we need to invest lots of money to other places.
There are some solutions which we can solve these problems. Firstly, we should notice what the real problems of overpopulation are in our society and the government should make some regulation to reduce the number of population. Secondly, we should use public transportation than private cars and we have to think how we can keep our clean nature.
As discussed above, we are now having serious problems in this society and there are many other side effects of overpopulation as well. In my opinion, I insist that we can solve this problems with doing from small solution which we easily can do such as do not waste rubbish to big solution which is protecting the environment. In addition, we have to follow the government when they make some solution to release the overpopulation.
