Preparation

More university students should stay in education after their first degree in order to get another qualification. Do you agree?

Bài tập 1. Read the task and the model essay. Does the writer agree or disagree with the statement in the task?

  • Agrees / Disagrees
  • [1) ]
  • Nowadays, the number of students who do a second degree is increasing. In order to decide if this is a good thing, we must examine the advantages and disadvantages of taking a postgraduate course.
  • [2) ]
  • It is certainly true that there is fierce competition for employment, and candidates need something extra in order to get a good job. We should also remember that people with a second qualification can expect to earn more when they start work. Moreover, postgraduate courses offer the chance to focus on a topic which you find particularly interesting. What could be better than spending an extra two or three years studying something you find fascinating?
  • [3) ]
  • However, there are disadvantages too. Firstly, it is an expensive option. You often need to pay for your place at university and also support yourself financially during the course. What is more, many young people are understandably impatient to leave education by the time they finish their first degree.
  • [4) ]
  • On balance, I believe it is a good idea to continue your studies beyond a first degree, if possible. Although it may be expensive, an extra qualification allows you to find a better job and earn more money.

Bài tập 2. Study the model essay and answer the questions.

  • In which paragraph (1-4) does the writer ...
  • 1
    describe the arguments for?

    describe the arguments against?
  • How many does she / he describe?
  • 3
    give his / her opinion?

Bài tập 3. Read the Writing Strategy. Find a rhetorical question in the model essay. Choose the expected answer.
