Essay 1 – High Score – Band 8-9


In today's modern world, computers are an essential part of
everyday life. Around the globe, children often use computers
from a very young age. Although it is important for children to
participate in various well-balanced activities, in my opinion,
children who use the computer daily are actually developing a
critical skill for future success. The bases for my views are
personal, academic, and professional.

From a personal point of view, computers are an invaluable


resource to help young people explore the world around them.
For example, children who use Internet to satisfy their
curiosity about diverse topics are already becoming
independent learners. No child with a computer is ever bored!
By starting early in their lives, children feel totally at ease
around computers; they are also able to take advantage of the
wide range of services computers provide.

From an academic viewpoint, children have no choice but to


master this technological invention. For instance, when I was
in university, students brought their laptops to class to take
notes, do research and exchange information. They wrote
assignments, created presentations and developed
databases. Children who build early confidence and
experience in these abilities are at a distinct advantage over
those who have not.

From a professional perspective, the computer has found a


permanent place in the workplace. Today, employers still pay
to provide computer training to their employees. Tomorrow,
corporations will expect prospective job applicants to already
possess these critical job skills. Consequently, parents who
encourage their child to use the computer for a reasonable
period of time daily are in fact investing in the child's future
career.

In conclusion, there is no doubt that the computer as a


technological tool is here to stay. The sooner children become
computer-literate, the better for many aspects of their future
lives.

Essay 1 – Medium Score – Band 5-6
In today's modern world, computers are needed everyday.
Around the world, children use computers from the time they
are little. It's true that children should have fun when they are
young; however, in my opinion, a child who knows how to use
the computer will be more successful in the future. My
reasons for this view are personal, academic and
professional.

From a personal point of view, computers can help young


people to learn more about the world. For example, some
children use the Internet to find information on different
subjects. In this way, they learn to find answers by
themselves. By using the computer when they are little,
children feel more comfortable around computers. They also
know how to use the computer for different reasons.

From an academic viewpoint, children have to learn how to


use this new invention. For instance, when I was in college,
many students used to bring their laptops to class. They used
to take notes, do research and share information. They wrote
their essays, made presentations and created useful lists.
Children who can use the computer when they are young have
more confidence than other children.

From a professional perspective, the computer is found in


every kind of office. Today, employers will still hire people who
cannot use computers and give them computer training. But
tomorrow, companies will expect people to have these skills
already. As a result, by encouraging children to use the
computer for a short time every day, parents are preparing
their children for future jobs.

In conclusion, it is clear that computers are now a part of our


regular life. Children who can use computers easily and
confidently will do better in the future.
