IELTS Academic and General Task 2: How to write at a band 9 level
Firstly, a teacher powered by artificial intelligence would have difficulty interpreting the educational needs of a classroom of students. For example, Honda Asimov, one of the world’s most advanced robots, has trouble distinguishing simple human emotions. If today’s most advanced artificial intelligence cannot categorize these basic physical cues, it is difficult to believe that a robot could be capable of altering study plans and teaching styles in a dynamic classroom setting. Thus, this makes it clear that a technology-driven teacher is not going to be operational anytime in the near future. Can you see how the sentences in this paragraph work together? Can you feel how the argument is strengthened through the use of a tangible example? Can you identify the linking words used to create fluency between the sentences and the paragraphs?
Try it yourself!
Now you are ready to try. Look at the steps we took to create the first supporting paragraph. Use the same process to come up with the content of the second supporting paragraph and write it below. Remember, the topic and example of this paragraph have already been decided. You will be writing about how a robotic teacher is incapable of encouraging young learners in the same way a human teacher is. You will be using the American scientific theory of education (children learn best when they have an emotional relationship with their teacher) as your example. _________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________________________ 29
