#FoodForThought
What is
welfare? What is your understarding of a
welfare state?
A common IELTS Task 2 question:
All education and healthcare should be funded by the government and free for everyone.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
The idea behind this question is
Universalism vs. Selectivism.
In other words, should welfare services be provided universally to everyone or should they be targeted only to those most in need?
This is my idea of a decent IELTS lesson:
1.
Provide students with input (language)
2. Give them a controlled practice to help them remember the vocabulary they've learnt
3. Introduce a topic (IELTS is all about topics) by giving them a reading passage (here I skipped this part)
4. Productive part: discuss some controversial issues around the topic and end the lesson with either a writing or speaking (part 3) question to give students the chance to recycle both the ideas and the language they've acquired during the lesson. - So am I ready to start offering offline (face-to-face) IELTS classes again?
- I think so
