Band 7 Example
Question: What do you think about some countries banning children from using social media?
Idea 1
It's a good idea
Model Answer
I think it's a good idea for some countries to ban children from using social media. Kids are not mature enough to deal with things like cyberbullying or seeing things that aren't suitable for their age. Also, if they spend less time online, they can focus more on their studies and spend more time with friends in real life. It might help them develop better habits and social skills.
Idea 2
It's not a good idea
Model Answer
I don't really agree with banning kids from social media. Social media can actually help children learn how to use technology and develop digital skills early on. If you ban it, they might just try to find ways to use it secretly, which could be even more dangerous. Also, it's really hard to control what kids do online these days, so the ban might not work well.
Idea 3
There should be a balance
Model Answer
I think there should be a balance. Instead of banning social media completely, parents and teachers should teach children how to use it safely. Setting limits on how much time they spend online and monitoring what they do is better than just saying no. Education about online safety is more helpful in the long run.
