IELTS Writing Task 2

Hi guys, I am going to share my writing task 2 practice for IELTS. As we can see, IELTS is consisted of four sections including listening, reading, writing, and speaking. In the writing section, it is divided to writing task 1 and task 2. In this time. I would like to write my practice on the writing task 2, an argument or opinion analysis task. It is my group's homework at IALF. Any correction or feed-back is valuable for my improvement, therefore, should you have any question or correction, do not hesitate to let me know.

Giving lectures in auditoriums to large numbers of students is an old way of teaching. With the technology available today there is no justification for it, and everything should be done online. To what extent do you agree or disagree? give your own opinion.

In this digital era, the advance of information technology has numerous impacts on the way of people communicate. More people become easily connected each other and there is no barrier in space and time. It has great influence on the course arrangement in universities nowadays, some universities accommodate online class beside original lecture class in the classroom. A group of people think, attending lecture class in the big-sized class is an ancient method, and it should be replaced by its online counterpart. Although online courses are more efficient in time and offer more flexibility than lecture classes, in my point of view lecture classes provide more invaluable benefits for students and lecturers which cannot be overtaken by online distance learning.

Firstly, Old-fashion lecture class facilitates more connections between professors and students as a result from their interaction in discussion during tutorials. The relationship between academic tutor and student, especially personal connection, is a substantial benefit for student in approaching professor to participate in their research. An important fact to note is, many professors tend to recruit students with well-known working performance and good motivation for conducting laboratory research. Additionally, students also get benefit from the professor for getting convincing letter of recommendation for graduate school application.

On the other hand, online lecture classes are prone to several internet troubles. As we know that majority in developing countries do not have stable internet connection compared to developed country. An example in Indonesia, there is huge number of difficulties establishing video conference using internet due to band width limitation. Therefore, in such cases will give detrimental effect as delayed connections making knowledge transfer become partially. 

On the society perspective, University is a vibrant place to educate people by transferring knowledge and exchanging ideas. There are opulence opportunities for students exchanging ideas and gathering abundance international cultures from their classmates and lecturers. Students acquire critical thinking with different perspective, and it is beneficial for their career development after graduating. Not only deeply in critical thinking, scholar gain valuable experience such as making project together. 

In conclusion, attending lecture classes in the auditorium is more beneficial than via online counterpart. It allows disciples gaining many personal and professional connection as it is a good modal for the career development. Hence, i strongly disagree with the opinion and support old-way teaching.
