Dear Jay, can u believe this ? I came across this essay last month and I wrote it down. I learned this essay along with others of you. On my date of exam, while in my car again i learned it and i could not believe in my destiny when saw it as my Task 2 ! It took me by surprise to say the least...for 5 minutes i was stunned and in next 7 minutes i wrote my essay as it was a cake walk....I got 7.5 band in academic writing. Thanks a ton, your all ideas are brilliant..

I want to use this opportunity to appreciate E2 IELTS, in particular Jay. I used his method for my writing Task 2 and I got 7 band in writing effortlessly. My overall band is 7 but i only needed 6 band. Goodluck to everyone.

hi ! Jay. Myself Dr. Akash from India. Just want to mention that you are awesome with your teaching methods. In dentistry we follow a concept i.e. the KISS concept ( Keep It Simple and Safe), while learning from your videos it just clicked to me that somehow that the KISS concept was also made applicable to the IELTS learning , by your brilliant methodology of teaching. So my advice to all my friends out there just keep it simple and safe (KISS concept ).thanks.

Thank you Jay. This video is also very helpful like others 👍🏾👌🏾⚡

Before a question, I would like to thank you, E2 IELTS team, so much that we are getting absolutely decent information on IELTS. Turning to the question, In this video you mentioned the introduction for ADVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES ESSAYS like this: Sentence 1: Rewrite "general statement" Sentence 2: Mention main "advantages" and "disadvantages" Sentence 3: Give your opinion. But on video name "IELTS Writing Task 2:The 3 Sentence Introduction by Jay!", you outlined this process as followed: Sentence 1: Neutral Background Sentence Sentence 2: Rewrite the question Sentence 3: This essay will ...... (focusing on what to tell to readers). As a learner, I am a bit confused on this Introduction. With all respect, I hope, you will accept my question and I am looking forward to hear the answer as I believed other learners do too.

Thank you so much for this video...may god bless u 😍😍

Thanks E2!!!!! I appreciate E2's comprehensive study materials and tailored strategies. They played a significant role in improving my skills and boosting my confidence, ultimately leading to my success in the IELTS exam.

Jay please give a your feedback in our essay below. Thank you! Question: There is an increasing trend around the world to have a small family rather than a large family. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of having a small family rather than a large family? Wife version: Although having a small family has a lot of good benefits to parents, children, and society other people consider it can lead to an unhappy lifestyle and other drawbacks to be discuss in this essay. Firstly, having a small family can result in less expenses. A family of four, which consists of parents and two kids can have smaller grocery bills, water and electric bills. This means, parents can save more money in their bank accounts, pay their house mortgage on time and have a extra money for leisure. For example, the family can plan a yearly vacation trip. This is a great time where the family can get away to relax and have a quality time together. Secondly, parenting responsibilities is easier. Two kids are easy to manage and supervise and parents can give full attention to them. This leads to great parenting skills and can easily resolve any conflicts. Giving full attention to your own children is very beneficial especially when it comes to academic skill, kids will become a achiever and gets a high grades. Thirdly, parents can have a less stressful life. Stress is a major problem to parents to survive everyday dealing with work and family life. Parents that have one or two kids have less stress which can lead to happy and healthy lifestyle. On the other hand, a small family has disadvantages and problems. One of the disadvantages of having a small family, the children is who gets full attention become spoiled. As a result, kids behavior is becoming narcissistic, attention seeker at school and society, which can lead in a mental health issue. Another problem is having less family support that can result to loneliness. When parents get old and they move to nursing home, parents can get depressed and feeling of being abandoned. In conclusion, while small families has plenty of benefits to both parents and children, it can also lead to loneliness and mental health issue. Husband version: Although there are some advantages to having a small family, there are also disadvantages. A small family will mean less expenses and allow for more time to be spent with the children, but there are drawbacks that should be taken into account. Firstly, one advantage of having a small family is it have less financial burden compared to having a large family. This allows the family to have extra money to be spent on other things such as luxury items and vacations. Secondly, a small family means more time is available for each child. The extra attention to each child will allow for them to learn and excel at a faster rate. Thirdly, the parents will have less stress with a smaller family. Less stressful parents will have a positive affect on the children since they will have more patience with them. On the other hand, one disadvantage of having a small family is the parents will have less company and visits when they get older. This may result in loneliness and unhappiness if their small smiley is too busy to visit with them. Another reason a small family is a disadvantage is the risk of the children becoming spoiled because of all the attention they get. This can lead to the children misbehaving or not becoming independent. In conclusion, the advantages of a small family to have less financial burden and more quality time for the children outlay the disadvantages of potentially having less visits when the parents are older and the risk of the children becoming spoiled.

Introduction: More people now prefer to undertake their higher institution learning abroad rather than in their local countries. While studying abroad definitely ensures that students are able to interact with counterparts from other parts of the world thereby opening them up to new perspectives while schooling; it could also make them home-sick every now and then. In my opinion, in spite of issues associated with foreign study, the prospects of better which lead to students gaining improved capacities outweigh the drawbacks.

thanks Jay! Your lectures are really helpful to me

Thank you so much ! This was awesome

Hello Jay! I am currently reviewing my IELTS, and I am so thankful to stumble on your video. It really helps me in many ways on my review specially on my writing. I just wanna ask is it necessary that whatever argument you supported you should state 2 to 3 reasons just to outweigh the other argument?

Very informative Mr. Jay, particularly the analysis at the end that describes "Why/How this should be a band 9".

Very helpful lesson, thank you Jay!

you're a beast Jay. phenomenal organization and structure

More and more students are pursuing their tertiary education in foreign countries. While this may result in students not contributing anything to their own country, it allows students to broaden their perspective of the world which will aid them in their future careers. In my opinion, students should indeed study overseas, regardless of the inevitable drawbacks. If students partake in academia in a place far away from home, they will be subject to immense personal growth, in terms of how they view the world. Furthermore, when a person is in foreign land, they are pushed outside of their comfort zones, and as a result he/she has to adjust accordingly to the new environment. In addition, he or she can meet new and completely different people, which gives the students a chance to listen to other points of view regarding various issues. For example, a person might have a strict belief system that conflicts with how the new country operates, which results in the person making allowances for the people around them. Also, a student can befriend an invidual who views the world differently, and the student can take invaluable insight from the other person's experiences. To sum up, students who study in a different country are exposed to a plethora of new experiences. As a result, they become wiser people. On the other hand, there are definite drawbacks to studying abroad, and the main one is the detachment people feel from their own country. Living far away from home takes that home out of sight and out of mind, which can result in the student feeling no responsibility for the betterment of their native country. Moreover, many students decide to build their careers in the country they studied in, which leads to an economic disadvantage for their home country. For instance, if those international students had studied locally, they could have substantially contributed to the workforce in their native country, which means that the workforces of those countries lose out on many potential newcomers. Indeed, students who study abroad are less likely to give back to their own countries. In conclusion, an increasing number of students are opting to pursue further education in a different country. Even though this decision enlightens the students, it causes problems for the countries those students are originally from. Nevertheless, I believe that students should move far away in order to study, as it builds character and wisdom, despite any negative consequences for their homelands.

Paragraph 1. The greatest benefit is that students who study overseas will have the rare opportunity to learn a lot about different cultures which will inturn enrich them with great skills to thrive in life. Being in a foreign land requires people to push through or weather whatever challenges life throws at them. For instance, an introverted nineteen year old student who is studying overseas, would have to adapt to new cultures and form new bonds of friendship to balance socially. Ultimately, these ultra-challenging experiences are paradoxically the main advantage of studying abroad because they make you acquire great skills.

In many ways, studying abroad challenges students to coping up with new environment but it inevitably makes them better at communication.

Thanks for sharing this knowledge.

Thank you very much Mr Jay for all your hard work and amazing presentation God bless you and I hope you’re always safe and sound

Studying abroad has become a common phenomenon among scholars who are doing their tertiary education

Dear J...I just feel like it would be selfish on my part not to come here and share this .I just cant thank you enough for your help on writing an essay. I was on zero when i came across your videos on KZfaq. Thank you soo much for all the effort you put in and the time we wrote essays together step by step and sentence by sentence. It helped me soo much. My test date was on the 10th of August and I got band 6.5 on W, 7.5 S, 5.5 R, 6 L, and overall band 6.5. For me this is huge and I am very much thankful to your many many videos on KZfaq. Thank you for your advice on not to just watch videos but to practice a lot.

The way you conduct everything is amazing especially when we do writing together. That made everything easy for me and i learned how to write fast. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

THANK YOU JAY, FOR THE LESSON

Here is mine... (262 words). Tertiary students are increasingly traveling to other countries as part of their education. Although the disadvantages are, students might face problems with cultural and language barrier in foreign countries, the advantages are, they will gain proper life experience and degrees that will benefit them in their future careers. In my opinion, students traveling abroad will obtain more education knowledge despite language difficulties. The greatest benefit of studying abroad is that students will gain proper life experiences that will improve their education and career. Studying overseas give more motivation to push harder and adapting to the modern lifestyle outside their home countries. For example, when I came to Ukraine to study as an eighteen-year-old boy, I had to adapt no matter what, I was motivated and pushed harder to a unique state and graduated with my degree. Therefore, the advantages of traveling overseas make you progress and grow as a person. The main disadvantages of students studying overseas are linguistics and cultural differences. These differences can be challenging because they will have difficulties learning languages and studying their coursework at the same time. For instance, while studying in Ukraine, I had difficulties learning Ukrainian and studying together, also expressing myself to the citizens of Ukraine, buying foodstuffs or interacting with people were inconvenient because of the language barrier. Furthermore, cultural differences such as food, dressing might also be burdensome. In conclusion, there is an increase in the number of students studying abroad. Despite its disadvantages on society and language barriers, these drawbacks will lead to personal growth and advantageous achievements in the future.

Wow.....this is beyond my imagination....God Bless you absolutly... You are the best Teacher every

Thank you for your videos. They are very wonderful

Hello Jay, Thank you so much. Terima Kasi Banyak, Sampai Jumpa lagi. I had a wonderful time learning with you. God bless Xxx

Western education has become popular among students nowadays. Although, it can be a bit challenging for students with cultural differences and linguistic problem whilst, studying abroad can enhance their knowledge and life experiences which can play a magnificent growth in their career

Great lecture ☺☺☺ There is so much to learn Sir May Allah bless you alot thanku so much

This is of benefit because students acquire broad knowledge in different aspects of their learning process,however the hinders their original counties productivity as most of them will work in the foreign lands after graduating

Thank uou Jay,for this information I will be writing mine on 7 and 8 of November.this has really helped.

Many thanks for this video. My fouth IELTS attempt will be tomorrow and I'm hoping it'll be the last!

Rewrite General Statement: It is a growing trend among university students to study abroad as a part of their academics.

yes

Sir, you are great & Your methods are very useful....

Impressive work Jay! Keep up

I have watched the writing videos 3 hours before the exam and this particular one besides the task 1 videos were like a savior to me as I scored 7 in writing moving from 5.5 last time. I was suspicious when I read the positive comments here, but after you helped me passing the exam, I felt in debt and that I must write something in your favor. Thank you guys!

Thank u very much jay for this wonderful video. I gave my exam on 4th January and received an overall 7.5 with 7 in writing (academic). I got the advantages/disadvantages essay and i followed ur given format. once again thank you for all your help. 🥰🥰🥰

I really appreciate the job you have done here. I'm gonna try sending my text here :) (Yes, since this is my first try, I've used your grammar as well, so I could remember it and use in the future) Writing Task 2 (first try) Topic: In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words. Having finished high school, future students in some countries are inspired to work or travel for a year before entering university. Although young people will delay their graduation from university for this period, they will also have a chance to gain significant life experiences that will reward them later on in their career. In my opinion, students are far better off having gained new experiences despite that they will postpone their studying process as well as graduation. Having a chance to make a wise decision about any young person’s future job by traveling or working before beginning higher education studies is the greatest benefit in this case. A future student will have an opportunity to try different professions or see new places and people to understand society in depth, which will improve themselves as people. For instance, when I started working as a sixteen-year-old waitress or a manager at a hotel later on, I was continually pushed out of my comfort zone, which gave me an opportunity to see how these spheres work, to communicate with different people and understand what job will suite me better, thus, helped me to grow as a human being. Therefore, doing a pause before studying at university and using this period for young people’s growth will give them far more benefits and even some new skills that would have been impossible if they had started learning at university right after high school. The main challenge that future students will face while stemming studies will surely be the process of delaying itself. The time lagging will make pressure over a young person because it makes feel as if you were slower at progressing than other ones from high school graduating class. For example, while working as a teenage, I knew that my classmates had already entered different universities and by the time I was ready to continue studies they had already been in the process for a year. Oftentimes, it made me feel that I was missing something. To conclude, young people from around the world are encouraged to make a pause between school and university in order to travel or work meanwhile. While future learners will no doubt experience time lagging pressure in comparison to their classmates, it is in fact the issue that leads to the main advantage of taking a pause for a year, which is personal growth. As a contradiction of sorts, it is the hardship that ultimately makes the experience of traveling or working before entering university more advantageous than disadvantageous.

This was amazing session sir. Thanks a 😊😊lot.. Incredible...

Thank you sir jay for this amazing tutorial! It helps a lot!
