Эссе IELTS «плюсы и минусы» на баллы 6.0, 7.0 и 8.0

Band 6

Nowadays many people learn languages through online lessons, and fewer people go to classes in a school. Some people say that classes with a teacher are always better, but I do not agree. Many of my friends study in this way. In my opinion the advantages of this development are bigger than the disadvantages, and I will explain why in this essay.

The main advantage of online lessons is that they are flexible. FirstlyЯрлык открывает мысль, но ничего не связывает с вступлением, people who work or look after children is not ableОшибка согласования подлежащего и сказуемого: должно быть «are not able» to attend a class at a fixed time, but with online lessons they can study in the evening or at the weekend. For example, a mother can study after her children are asleep. This is the reason why I think online lessons are more convenient. Also, it is easy to start because you only need a computer. Also, they can watch the lesson again if they did not understand something, and this is very goodРасплывчатая простая фраза; нужно более точное слово, например «valuable» for students who learn slowly.

However, there is also a disadvantage. The students do not get enough chance to speak with other peopleНедостаток назван, но не объяснён, и нет примера. In a real class they speak with the teacher and the other students all the time, and this make them more confidentОшибка согласования подлежащего и сказуемого: должно быть «this makes them». Online they often only listen to a video, so they can feel aloneНеудачный выбор слова: обычно здесь говорят «lonely». Speaking is a very important part of a language, so this is a problem for some people.

To conclude, online lessons are flexible but students speak less, and the advantages are biggerЗаключение другими словами повторяет вступление и не взвешивает две стороны. So I think the advantages is more thanДолжно быть «advantages are greater than» или «advantages outweigh» the disadvantages, and online lessons are a good choice for many people today. In the future more people will use them.

Band 7

Learning a language online has become common, and many people no longer attend classes in a school or language centre. Online study is available to almost anyone with a connection. Although this change has drawbacks, I believe that its advantages outweigh them.

The main advantage is flexibilityТематическое предложение называет единственный предмет абзаца. Adults who work long hours or look after children often cannot commit to a class at a fixed time, whereas online lessons can be fitted into an evening or a weekend. For a parent returning from work, an hour on a fixed evening may simply be impossible, whereas a lesson that waits until the children are asleep remains available. Learners can also replay a recording when an explanation is unclear, something that a live class does not allowКороткое относительное придаточное присоединено к предыдущей мысли запятой. As a result, people who might otherwise have given up can keep studying regularly.

The main disadvantage is that learners get less spontaneous speaking practice. In a classroom, students must respond immediately to a teacher or a classmate, and this pressure gradually builds confidenceЕстественное сочетание слов. Speaking is a skill that grows through repeated, unplanned exchanges, so its absence matters. A learner who only watches recorded lessons may understand grammar well yet hesitate when speakФорма глагола: должно быть «speaking» to a real person. However, this problem is not impossible to solve, since many online courses now offer live conversation sessionsНедостаток объяснён, а затем взвешен, и это поддерживает вердикт.

In conclusion, online lessons reduce the amount of natural conversation, but flexibility decides whether many people can learn at allДаёт причину вердикта вместо его повтора. For this reason I believe the advantages are greater thanВерно, но сравнение простое; более разнообразный глагол расширил бы диапазон the disadvantages. Learners who combine recorded lessons with regular conversation practice can gain both benefits.

Band 8

Online lessons are replacing the classroom for a growing number of language learners. The question is how much each side weighs. This development does carry a real drawback, but I believe the advantages outweigh it, chiefly because flexibility determines whether many adults study at allВердикт назван вместе с причиной уже в первом абзаце.

The decisive advantage is flexibility. A parent or shift worker cannot commit to a class that meets at a fixed hour, but can complete an online lesson at midnight if that is the only time available. The effect is practical rather than theoretical: a lesson that fits the day is far more likely to be attended. Recorded material adds a second benefit: a learner can replay an unclear explanation until it makes sense, something a classroom lesson, once finished, never permitsДвоеточие, приложение и вставная фраза употреблены с полным контролем. Together these features turn language learning from a privilege of those with regular timetablesТочная именная группа, которая несёт противопоставление into something most adults can sustain.

The real disadvantage is the scarcity of unplanned speaking. In a classroom, a learner must answer a question immediately, and that mild pressure is what turns knowledge into fluencyТочная формулировка для действия; a student who only watches lessons may understand the grammar perfectly yet hesitate when addressed by a real person. The concern is therefore legitimate, and it would be wrong to dismiss it. This weakness, however, is neither universal nor permanentПредложение поворачивает абзац от недостатка к взвешиванию без ярлыка. Many courses now include live conversation sessions, and learners can arrange practice with a partner independently.

On balance, the loss of spontaneous practice is real but remediable, whereas rigid timetables simply exclude peopleЗаключение взвешивает стороны и называет причину, по которой вердикт верен. The advantages therefore carry more weight, because a learner who cannot attend a class cannot practise anything.
