    While computers have changed education by making information easier to access, teachers still play an important role that computers cannot replace. The document discusses how computers have increased accessibility of information through search and connectivity, but intelligent systems have not replaced the value of human interaction in the learning process. It argues that teachers' roles will change but they will not disappear from classrooms, as computers cannot determine individual student needs or adapt complex concepts in the way human teachers can. The conclusion restates that teachers will continue playing an important role, especially at primary levels, as no computer can replace the benefits of human interaction in education.

    1.

    As computers are being used more and more in education, there will
    be soon no role for teachers in the classroom.

    There is no doubt that education and the learning process has changed since
    the introduction of computers: The search for information has become
    easier and amusing, and connectivity has expedited the data availability.
    Though experts systems have made computers more intelligent, they have
    not yet become a substitute of the human interaction in the learning process.
    In my opinion what can be expected is a change of the teachers’ role, but not
    their disappearance from the classroom.

    Nobody can argue that the acquisition of knowledge is more fun and easier
    with computers. The mere activity of touching and exploring this device
    constitutes an enjoyable task for a child. This, accompanied by the relaxing
    attitude and software interactivity, usually contributes to a better grasping of
    new knowledge. At a higher educational level the availability of digital books,
    simulators and other academic materials provide the student with an ever
    accessible source of information, that otherwise would not be at hand.

    But, besides the increasing complexity and behavior of intelligent software,


    which is usually embedded in the academic digital material, the need for
    human interaction in the learning process will always be present, at least in
    the foreseeable future. There is the necessity for a human being to be able to
    determine what the specifics needs of each individual are. The expertise of a
    teacher in how to explain and adapt complex concepts to different
    individuals can hardly be mimicked by a computer, no matter how
    sophisticated its software is.
    As computers are becoming a common tool for teaching, teachers should be
    more aware of their role as guides in the acquisition of knowledge rather
    than transmitters of facts. They have to be open minded to the changes that
    are taking places, keep updated and serve as problem solvers in the learning
    process, thus allowing students to discover the fact for themselves.

    To summarize, in my personal view, teachers play and will continue to play


    an important role in the classroom, especially at the primary level. No matter
    how complex computers become, there will be no replacement for the
    human interaction, but in the way haw this interaction takes place.

    ความเห็นจากคุณครู: This is an excellent essay! Are you a native English speaker?


    Well done. The only problem is that this essay is too long, 365 words
    instead of 250-265 maximum.
    2. Popular events like the Football World Cup and other international
    sporting occasions are essential in easing international tension and
    releasing patriotic emotions in a safe way.

    Every four years, the whole world stops to watch international sporting
    events such as the Olympics and the Football World Cup in which athletes
    show their best performance to make their country proud. These sporting
    occasions have proved to be helpful in easing international tension in
    difficult times when powerful leaders were trying to control the world’s
    economy and other governments were fighting over the land.

    The Olympic Games are one of the best examples which prove how sporting
    events can bring nations together, at least temporarily. From the ancient
    History, when Greeks and Romans would interrupt battles to participate in
    the games, to the more recent international disputes, when athletes from
    Palestine and Israel would forget their differences, compete peacefully and
    even embrace each other after an event. Moreover, these popular events
    have called the world’s attention to the terrible consequences of wars; thus
    some leaders have tried to reach agreements to end their disputes and live
    peacefully.

    Similarly, international sporting events show benefits in some developing


    countries which live in a daily internal civil war. For example, Brazil has a high
    rate of unemployment, lack of education, hunger, crime, poverty and
    corruption which leads to an immense embarrassment of being Brazilian and
    a low self-esteem. However, when the Football World Cup starts, the
    Brazilian squad, which is considered the best team in the world, provokes an
    amazing feeling of pride in their country. Most people seem to forget all their
    problems and even the criminal activity decreases. They paint roads with the
    national colors, wear the Brazilian team shirts and buy national flags.
    Moreover, the competition brings families and neighbors together and even
    rival gangs watch the games and celebrate peacefully.

    In conclusion, popular sporting events play an important role in decreasing


    international tensions and liberating patriotic feelings as history has shown.

    ความเห็นจากคุณครู: This is a great essay, the ideas, language, structure of


    paragraphs and sentences, and your grammar show a good command
    of the English language. In my opinion it is Band 8. Keep up the good
    work.
    3. Improvements in health, education and trade are essential for the
    development of poorer nations. However, the governments of richer
    nations should take more responsibility for helping the poorer nations
    in such areas.

    Today’s world has been divided into developing and industrialised countries
    which the main difference between them is the amount of money that
    governments apply in important sectors such as education, health and
    commerce. Most of the poorer nations are buried in debts as a result of their
    unbalanced finances which are reflect in a failed health care, an unstructured
    education system and a weak international trade. This vicious cycle will
    continue indefinitely unless wealthier nations show interest in minimizing the
    worldwide economic differences, as well as taking more responsibility for
    assisting less fortunate countries.

    Most of the African countries live in sub-human conditions because of the


    extreme poverty, upheaval, hunger, disease, unemployment, lack of
    education and both inexperienced and corrupt administrations. The
    devastating consequences of the AIDS epidemic in those countries could
    improve if the infected population were to receive free drugs to control the
    disease, have access to health professionals and get information on how to
    prevent its spread. But this can only be achieved through international help
    programs in which leaders of the world’s richest countries donate medicine
    and also send doctors and nurses to treat and educate those in need.

    Moreover, most of the poor countries rely on selling agricultural products


    and raw materials to rich nations and buying industrialized products from
    them resulting in a huge financial deficit. Consequently, they borrow a
    significant amount of money from the World Bank to try to improve their
    broken economies, but sometimes the money disappears with no significant
    changes and they cannot even pay the interest to the bank. Regarding this
    issue, last year the G8, which is comprised of leaders of the eight richest
    nations, decided to forgive billions of dollars worth of debt owed by the
    world’s poorest nations. In addition, they developed adequate loan programs
    to financially assist those countries.

    In conclusion, leaders of the industrialised countries play an indispensable


    role in assisting developing nations in dealing with essential areas such as
    health, education and trade. Also, their aid is the key to breaking the vicious
    cycle, which results in poverty and death.

    ความเห็นจากคุณครู: This is a great essay, seems to be on a Band 8 level, there’s


    nothing to improve here.
    4. As computers are being used more and more in education, there will
    be soon no role for teachers in the classroom.

    There have been immense advances in technology in most aspects of


    people’s lives, especially in the field of education. Nowadays, an increasing
    number of students rely on computers for research and to produce a perfect
    paper for school purposes. Others have decided to leave the original way of
    learning and to get knowledge through online schools. These changes in the
    learning process have brought a special concern regarding the possible
    decrease of importance of teachers in the classroom.

    Some people believe the role of teachers started to fade because computers
    have been helping some students to progress in their studies quicker
    compared to studies in an original classroom. For example, in the same
    classroom, students have different intellectual capacities, thus some would
    be tied to a slow advance in their studies because of others’ incapability of
    understanding. In this way, pupils could progress in their acquisition of
    knowledge at their own pace using computers instead of learning from
    teachers.

    However, the presence of a teacher is essential for students because the


    human contact influences them in positive ways. Firstly, students realize that
    they are not dealing with a machine but with a human being who deserves
    attention and respect. They also learn the importance of studying in a group
    and respect for other students, which helps them improve their social skills.

    Moreover, teachers are required in the learning process because they


    acknowledge some students’ deficiencies and help them to solve their
    problems by repeating the same explanation, giving extra exercises or even
    suggesting a private tutor. Hence, students can have a better chance of
    avoiding a failure in a subject.

    In conclusion, the role for teachers in the learning process is still very
    important and it will continue to be such in the future because no machine
    can replace the human interaction and its consequences.

    ความเห็นจากคุณครู: This is a great essay. Seems worthy of Band 8. No


    improvements are necessary, keep up the good work!
    5. Financial education should be a mandatory component of the school
    program. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

    It is an obvious fact that financial aspects are a major part of the daily life, as
    an adult and even as a young individual. Each and every one of us has to
    make financial decisions concerning recreation, health, education and more.
    The question is whether to start with financial education as part of school
    program or to postpone it for a later stage in life.

    To begin with, being able to understand the value of money, the way the
    economic system works and to interpret financial news and its implications is
    a virtue. Without this virtue, an individual, even a young one, might suffer to
    some extent. For an example, a child who doesn’t understand the concept of
    money might find it more difficult to except choosing only one present out of
    more possible ones.

    In addition, many adults are lacking capability of financial analysis. Quite


    often, the reason can be the lack of sound foundations or insecurity when it
    comes to financial terms and concepts. Starting from an early age, building a
    strong background, can very likely prevent such situation.

    However, financial education necessarily involves quantifying and setting


    prices and value for services and goods. It can easily turn young people into
    cynical human beings who lack emotion. Furthermore, a tendency to self-
    concentration and egoism might rise when one start measuring everything
    from a profit-making perspective.
    In conclusion, financial education has both pros and cons. In my opinion, the
    advantages are more significant than the disadvantages, making financial
    education an advisable component of the school program. The
    disadvantages should be thought of as a certain price that young people
    have to pay due to the characteristics of the world that we live in.

    ความเห็นจากคุณครู: This is a wonderful essay. It covers the task, is correctly


    structured, the paragraphs are logically connected, the structure of
    sentences shows excellent command of the English language. The
    vocabulary is fine and both spelling and grammar are very good. See
    comments underlined in blue for some minor corrections. Overall, looks
    like a Band 7.5 – Band 8 essay.
