1. Đề thi IELTS Writing Task 2

Video records are a better way to learn about the way other people in the world live rather than written documents. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

2. Dàn bài

Introduction:

Paraphrase đề bài: Khi trích dẫn ý kiến đề cho, người viết cần sử dụng những cụm từ tương tự như “It is believed that”.

• It is believed that 
• video records → visual documentaries
• are a better way to learn about → are a better source of knowledge of
• the way other people in the world live → people’s lifestyles all over the world 
• than written accounts
• Nêu ý kiến của người viết: I disagree because each kind has its own strengths

Body 1: (5 sentences)

• Topic sentence + Main idea: Video recordings are helpful because of their liveliness.
• Explanation: When learning from written documents, we might have  difficulties with imagination and understanding the language. Visual records, with images and sounds, help us overcome these problems. 
• Example: The popular series Rick Steves’ Europe shows many things that we are unable to fully understand just by imagining, such as architecture, food, and natural scenery.

Body 2:

• Main idea 1: Written documents show us people’s ways of life when no cameras were available. Also, the more time has pass, the more difficult and expensive it is to make films about these historical times.
• Example: It costs a lot to make films about the lives of Polish people in Warsaw during World War II. It would cost incredibly more to produce films about the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.
• Main idea 2: People often take it for granted when they can easily get information just by watching videos.
• Explanation: When a person actively learns by reading, he will develop more than someone who only watches YouTube.

Conclusion:

• Nêu lại quan điểm của người viết: Video recordings and written documents should be used together.
• Tóm tắt các main ideas ở phần thân bài: Films make the description more lively. Books give valuable historical information and help develop the mind.

3. Sample Answer band 8.0+

It is believed that visual documentaries constitute a better source of insights into people’s lifestyles all over the globe compared to written accounts. In my opinion, however, this is not true because each form has its own merits.

To start with, video recordings make extremely helpful facilitators due to their liveliness. The reflection of information from textual descriptions into one’s mind relies principally on the reader’s imagination, which is sometimes limited by his understanding of the language being used. Fortunately, visual records help overcome the mentioned barriers by directly showing viewers images and sounds. This could be clearly illustrated by the popular series Rick Steves’ Europe, in which Steves attempts to show his audience numerous things they are unable to fully grasp just by imagining, such as architecture, food, and natural scenery.

Written documents, on the other hand, inform their readers about people’s ways of life during times when no cameras were available. Given the time gap, it would be extravagant to reconstruct these documents into films. If rebuilding the lives of Polish people in Warsaw during the German invasion in World War II, for instance, was already costly, how much more would it demand to produce films about, say, the decline and fall of the Roman Empire? Moreover, people often take it for granted when the information they need is available at the convenience of their audio-visual devices. Meanwhile, a person who actively mines knowledge out of his books cannot help developing intellectually.

In conclusion, I believe that video recordings and written documents should be used reciprocally because each form is communicative in its own way. While films make the depiction more lively, books give their readers not only historical insights that are hard to convert into films but also mental exercise.
