Katika insha ya IELTS yenye swali To what extent do you agree or disagree?, msomaji anahitaji kujua unakubaliana na kauli kwa kiwango gani. Weka jibu hilo katika sentensi iliyo wazi kwenye utangulizi, kisha ulihifadhi hadi hitimisho. Kosa la kawaida ni kuanza na I partly agree bila maelezo na kumalizia kwa kukubaliana kabisa. Hapa kuna utangulizi na hitimisho zenye tatizo hilo, maoni na marekebisho ya sentensi mbili tu. LetsWords huonyesha sehemu ambayo msimamo unapoteza uwazi, kisha unaweza kufanya mazoezi ya Task Response kwenye kifungu bila kuandika upya insha nzima.
Msimamo unajibu to what extent
To what extent huuliza kiwango cha kukubaliana. Unaweza kukubali kabisa, kupinga kabisa au kukubali kwa sehemu. Hakuna upande mmoja sahihi wa kuchagua, lakini upande unaochukua unahitaji kueleweka.
Kukubali kwa sehemu pia ni msimamo, ukisema unakubali nini na hukubali nini. I partly agree peke yake haiweki mipaka hiyo. Msomaji hajui ni sehemu ipi ya kauli umeikubali. Kwa hiyo, eleza msimamo katika sentensi moja ya utangulizi na uhakikishe hitimisho linauendeleza bila kupanua au kupunguza kiwango cha kukubaliana.
Swali na jaribio la kwanza
Some people believe that primary school children should not be given any homework.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Write at least 250 words.
Utangulizi na hitimisho la jaribio la kwanza:
Homework is a regular part of school life in many countries. Some people think that primary school children should not get any homework, while others believe that it is necessary. There are good arguments on both sides, and I partly agree with this statement.
…
In conclusion, homework has both benefits and drawbacks for young learners. However, I strongly believe that primary school children should have no homework at all.
Hakuna kosa la sarufi hapa. Tatizo ni kwamba utangulizi na hitimisho vinatoa majibu tofauti kwa swali lilelile.
Msimamo wa utangulizi hauko wazi. There are good arguments on both sides inaeleza mjadala, si maoni ya mwandishi. I partly agree haisemi ni sehemu ipi inakubaliwa. Baada ya mitazamo miwili inayopingana, hata this statement inaweza kuwa na utata: inarejea kutohitaji kazi za nyumbani au kuzihitaji?
Hitimisho linachukua msimamo mwingine. No homework at all ni kukubaliana kabisa na pendekezo la kuondoa kazi za nyumbani. Insha inaanza kwa sehemu na kumalizia kwa ukamilifu. Msomaji anaona majibu mawili kwa swali moja, hivyo haelewi ni lipi hoja zilikuwa zinaunga mkono.
Mfano wa maoni ya LetsWords: sentensi moja ya msimamo na hitimisho moja
Katika LetsWords, maoni haya huwekwa chini ya Task Response na kurejea sehemu mbili: I partly agree with this statement na no homework at all. Yanaeleza sababu ya mgongano na kupendekeza hatua: amua mahali kukubaliana kwako kunapoishia na ukutaje moja kwa moja. Sehemu nyingine ya utangulizi haihitaji kubadilishwa.
Tuseme unaona watoto wa shule ya msingi hawahitaji kazi za kuandika nyumbani, lakini kusoma kidogo kila siku kuna manufaa. Huo ndio msimamo. Sentensi There are good arguments on both sides, and I partly agree with this statement inakuwa:
I agree that children of this age do not need written homework, but they should still be given a short reading task each day.
Hitimisho linatumia sentensi moja kuueleza msimamo huo kwa namna nyingine. Hakuna haja ya strongly, at all au kauli ya jumla ya faida na hasara:
In conclusion, primary school children can do without written homework, but a short daily reading task is still worth keeping.
Wewe ndiye unayeandika upya. Maoni yanaonyesha tatizo na hatua ya kulitatua, hivyo unafanya mazoezi ya ujuzi badala ya kutegemea jibu la mfano pekee.
Matokeo: utangulizi na hitimisho vinajibu kwa namna ileile
Homework is a regular part of school life in many countries. Some people think that primary school children should not get any homework, while others believe that it is necessary. I agree that children of this age do not need written homework, but they should still be given a short reading task each day.
…
In conclusion, primary school children can do without written homework, but a short daily reading task is still worth keeping.
Sentensi mbili zimebadilika. Sasa utangulizi unaonyesha kinachokubaliwa, yaani kutohitaji kazi za kuandika, na mpaka wake, yaani kuendelea na kusoma. Hitimisho linadumisha wazo hilo. Neno partly limeondoka, lakini msimamo bado ni wa kukubali kwa sehemu; sasa sehemu hiyo imeelezwa.
Uwazi wa msimamo ni sehemu ya Task Response. Vigezo rasmi vya IELTS Writing vinahusisha band za juu na msimamo ulio wazi unaojibu swali moja kwa moja. Katika maelezo ya band za chini, msimamo unaweza kuwa mgumu kutambua.
Kwenye insha inayofuata, soma sentensi ya msimamo na hitimisho pekee. Angalia kama kiwango cha kukubaliana kinaeleweka na kama sentensi hizo zinapingana. Hoja za aya za kiini pia zinahitaji kuunga mkono msimamo huo.
