GIẢI ĐỀ IELTS WRITING TASK 2 NGÀY 30/04/2022

Every year when summer comes around, volunteer students in their conspicuous blue shirts are ubiquitous. They can be spotted in the streets, delivering free food to the less fortunate, at waiting tables in front of the school gates providing information to students, or on the beach collecting trash under the sizzling weather. However, it still remains a topic of debate whether these activities are wholly beneficial for students.

On one side of the argument, there are a number of benefits for students who are involved in community service. In the technologically-advanced world, it is a common problem that people show scant concern about others’ affairs. These activities certainly help them gain insight into the lives of the underprivileged, realise how fortunate they are, and therefore inspire in them a higher sense of responsibility with the community. Besides, participating in volunteer programs is also a very effective way for students to combat stress and hone various crucial life skills such as communication, teamwork, or time-management.

Despite the multiple merits of volunteer activities, there are still a lot of raised eyebrows. Firstly, making unpaid work obligatory to all students without any exception will certainly cause resentment among themselves or their families. In addition, students’ studies at school can be sabotaged as they are always short of time to complete their homework or revise their lessons. The other, more profound consequence that can ensue from the constant poor academic performance is the bleak career prospects that the future hold for them.

To conclude, the importance of community service should be fully realized. However, it should not be made compulsory for all students.
