essayها به چند دسته تقسیم می شوند؟
- “Many people think ” essay
در این نوع essay یک موضوع با بیان یک واقعیت مطرح می‌شود و بعد از شما خواسته می‌شود تا نظر خود درباره این موضوع را بنویسید. مثلاً
“Many people think that the place you were born affects your success in later life. What is your opinion about the relevance of one’s place of birth upon future success?” Birthplace relevant: people in developed countries wealthier and healthier; kids in upper-class neighborhoods get better jobs. Birthplace irrelevant: most countries now meritocracies; qualifications/experience more important than family ties.
- “It is argued that” essay
ساختار مجهول این پرسش‌ها می‌خواهد بداند که آیا می‌توانید در مورد یک موضوع مشخص استدلالی منطقی ارائه بدهید، که کلید گرفتن نمره بالا در PTE است. بگذارید روراست بگم، اینکه چه کسی استدلال میکند خیلی کم‌اهمیت‌تر از این است که دقیقاً چه چیزی مورد استدلال قرار گرفته است. مثلاً
“It is argued that attending a full-time undergraduate degree course is less worthwhile nowadays than learning a trade, such as a builder’s laborer, plumber or electrician. To what extent do you agree or disagree?” Uni degrees positives: lead to a greater variety of jobs in the future; more intellectually stimulating. Uni degree negatives: most courses a waste of time/money with no tangible outcome. Trades negatives: lack of stimulation. Trades positives: guaranteed work for a lifetime; general lack of supply in the job market.
“Do you think ” essay topic
این نوع essay راه دیگری برای دانستن نظر شما احتمالاً در مورد موضوعی است که قبلاً به آن خیلی فکر نکرده‌اید. مثلاً
“Do you think consumers should be responsible for their poor nutritional choices, or do food manufacturers need to be more honest about the potential dangers in eating certain foods which are high in salt, sugar and fat?” You will then need to give your views, such as they may be, on the topic regardless of your personal dietary preferences. Consumers responsible: they are educated and have free will; sugary food makes them happy. Manufacturers responsible: deliberate manipulation of ingredients; only motivated by profit not the well-being of the consumer.
