IELTS WRITING TASK 2 QUESTION

Science and technology created modern society. However, some people think that scientists will no longer create anything from now on. What is your opinion?

SAMPLE ANSWER

Most people would like to know what the future has in store (about to happen) for us. This might become possible in the future, as will be shown in this essay, in terms of computers, satellites, and cloning (the process of creating an exact copy of an animal or plant by using its cells).

First, with the help of computers, tasks that were out of the question (impossible) in the past can now be done relatively (comparatively) easily and quickly. This is opening up (create new opportunity) more and more possibilities for scientists. For example, with the development of the electron microscope (a piece of equipment to look at things which are too small to see normally) scientists can now observe and study the individual parts of a single cell with ease.

Second, satellites and space technology have made the impossible possible. For instance, by placing a homing device on an animal or bird, it can be followed wherever it goes, and the migratory routes of birds like penguins or storks can be followed constantly.

Lastly, scientists are making new discoveries (breaking new ground) every day. They are moving the borders of our knowledge further and further afield. In addition, it seems that scientists are becoming braver in moving into unknown areas and territories. Cloning, for example, is fast becoming a reality. In many other fields, there are developments that we, in our wildest dreams (emphasizing what you think it is extremely unlikely or strange) would not have thought possible a few years ago. At the moment, there is no indication that the present situation will change in the near future.

To sum up, I have had a look at computers, satellites, and cloning as examples of the present situation. So it can be seen, in conclusion, that the opposite of the above statement would be truer. Scientists will be able to create almost anything in the future.
