Writing Task 2 Model Answer

Question:
Many people are choosing to be self-employed rather than work for a company. What are the reasons for this trend, and what are the disadvantages of being self-employed?

Essay:

In recent years, an increasing number of individuals have opted for self-employment over traditional employment with companies. This shift can be attributed to various factors, including the desire for greater autonomy and the flexibility to manage one’s own time. However, despite these appealing aspects, self-employment also presents significant challenges, such as financial instability and the absence of employee benefits.

One of the primary reasons people choose self-employment is the desire for independence. Being one’s own boss allows individuals to make decisions without having to answer to a higher authority. This autonomy can be especially appealing to those who have a strong entrepreneurial spirit or innovative ideas that they wish to pursue without restrictions. Furthermore, self-employment offers flexibility in terms of working hours and location. With the rise of remote work and digital platforms, many people are now able to work from anywhere, allowing them to better balance their personal and professional lives.

Despite these advantages, self-employment is not without its drawbacks. A significant challenge is the lack of financial security. Unlike salaried employees, who receive a steady income, self-employed individuals often face irregular earnings, particularly in the early stages of their business. This financial uncertainty can be stressful and may even lead to the failure of the business if profits do not meet expectations. Additionally, self-employed individuals do not have access to benefits such as health insurance, pensions, or paid leave, which are typically provided by employers. This means that they must bear the full responsibility for their own welfare, adding to the pressure of managing a business.

In conclusion, while the trend towards self-employment is driven by the appeal of greater freedom and flexibility, it is important to recognize the potential disadvantages. Financial instability and the lack of employee benefits are significant challenges that must be carefully considered by anyone contemplating this path. Therefore, individuals should weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether self-employment is the right choice for them.

This essay is structured to provide a clear and balanced discussion of the reasons for the trend towards self-employment and the associated disadvantages, using advanced vocabulary and complex sentence structures to meet the criteria for a high IELTS band score.

Traffic Problems:
Traffic congestion is primarily due to commuters traveling to work.
Most commuters reside in suburban areas outside city centers.
Commuters usually travel at the same time each day.
Many people travel alone in their cars.
This leads to inefficient use of cars and road space.
As a result, traffic jams occur during rush hours.

Traffic Solutions:
We should change our working habits to reduce traffic congestion.
The Internet enables people to connect remotely.
More employees could work from home.
Meetings can be conducted via video conferences.
Flexible work schedules could be introduced for workers.
Another solution is to impose taxes on drivers.
Carpooling should be encouraged among workers.
For example, London has a congestion charge, which raises funds for improving public transport.
Public transport must be reliable and efficient to be a viable alternative.
