Writing Task 2: Essay को संरचना र प्रकार

सिक्ने लक्ष्य

• Task 2 का मुख्य पाँच essay प्रकार प्रश्नको शब्दबाट चिन्न।
• हरेक प्रकारका लागि उपयुक्त paragraph योजना छान्न।
• स्पष्ट thesis सहितको introduction र PEEL ढाँचाको body paragraph लेख्न।
• 40 मिनेटलाई plan, write र check मा बाँड्न।

मुख्य व्याख्या

Task 2 को आधारभूत कुरा

Task 2 Academic र General Training दुवैमा हुन्छ। तपाईंले एउटा प्रश्नको उत्तरमा कम्तीमा 250 words को essay करिब 40 मिनेट मा लेख्नुपर्छ। Task 2 को अंक भार Task 1 भन्दा बढी हुन्छ, त्यसैले यसमा समय नकटाउनुहोस्।

पहिलो criterion यहाँ Task Response हो: प्रश्नका सबै भागको उत्तर दिनु, र आफ्नो position (धारणा) सुरुदेखि अन्त्यसम्म स्पष्ट राख्नु।

पाँच essay प्रकार

Introduction: दुई भाग

1. Paraphrase: प्रश्नको विषय आफ्नै शब्दमा (एक वाक्य)।
2. Thesis: तपाईंको position वा essay ले के गर्छ भन्ने (एक वाक्य)।

Introduction 40–60 words भए पुग्छ। “Nowadays, technology is developing day by day” जस्ता सबै essay मा मिल्ने सामान्य वाक्यले अंक दिँदैन।

Body paragraph: PEEL

• P – Point: paragraph को मुख्य विचार (topic sentence)।
• E – Explain: किन वा कसरी भन्ने व्याख्या।
• E – Example: विशिष्ट उदाहरण (आफ्नो अनुभव वा सामान्य परिस्थिति)।
• L – Link: प्रश्न वा position सँग फेरि जोड्ने वाक्य (वैकल्पिक)।

एउटा body paragraph मा एउटा मुख्य विचार राख्नुहोस् र त्यसलाई गहिराइमा विकास गर्नुहोस्। पाँचवटा विचार सतही रूपमा लेख्नुभन्दा दुईवटा राम्ररी विकास गर्नु धेरै राम्रो हो।

Conclusion

Position फेरि भन्नुहोस् र मुख्य कारण छोटकरीमा समेट्नुहोस्। नयाँ विचार नल्याउनुहोस्। २–३ वाक्य पुग्छ।

40 मिनेटको योजना

महत्वपूर्ण परिभाषा

• Position: प्रश्नप्रति तपाईंको स्पष्ट धारणा (agree, disagree, वा सीमित रूपमा agree)।
• Thesis statement: introduction मा position भन्ने वाक्य।
• Topic sentence: body paragraph को पहिलो वाक्य जसले मुख्य विचार भन्छ।
• Task Response: प्रश्नका सबै भागको उत्तर, स्पष्ट position र विकसित विचार जाँच्ने criterion।

उदाहरण

Some people believe that students should be required to do unpaid community work as part of their secondary education. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

यो Opinion essay हो। योजना: Agree → कारण 1: practical skill; कारण 2: अरूको आवश्यकता बुझ्ने; अनि विपक्षी तर्कको छोटो जवाफ।

In many countries, secondary schools focus almost entirely on academic subjects. Some argue that pupils should also be obliged to carry out unpaid work in their local community. I strongly agree with this view, as such work develops practical skills and a sense of responsibility that classroom lessons rarely provide.

The main benefit of community service is that it teaches skills which are difficult to learn from textbooks. When teenagers help to organise a clean-up campaign or teach younger children to read, they have to plan their time, communicate with adults and solve unexpected problems. For example, a student who volunteers at a local health post may learn how to deal politely with worried patients, which is a valuable lesson for any future career.

Furthermore, compulsory volunteering can make young people more aware of the needs of others. Many students from comfortable families have little contact with elderly people living alone or with households that cannot afford basic services. Spending a few hours each month helping such groups can encourage empathy and may inspire some students to continue volunteering as adults.

Admittedly, critics point out that students already face heavy academic workloads, and that forcing people to volunteer is a contradiction. However, this problem can be reduced if schools limit the commitment to a reasonable number of hours and allow pupils to choose the type of work they do.

In conclusion, I firmly believe that unpaid community work should be part of secondary education, provided that it is carefully organised. The personal and social benefits clearly outweigh the cost in time.

विश्लेषण

• Introduction: पहिलो दुई वाक्यले विषय paraphrase गर्छन् (required → obliged, community work → work in their local community); तेस्रो वाक्य स्पष्ट thesis हो।
• Body 1 (PEEL): Point = “teaches skills”; Explain = time, communication, problem solving; Example = health post।
• Body 2: नयाँ विचार (empathy), “Furthermore” ले जोडिएको।
• Concession paragraph: विपक्षी तर्क स्वीकार गरेर जवाफ दिँदा essay परिपक्व देखिन्छ, तर position बदलिँदैन।
• Conclusion: “strongly agree” र “firmly believe” — position सुरुदेखि अन्त्यसम्म एउटै।
• करिब 260 words: 250 भन्दा माथि, तर अनावश्यक लामो छैन।

शब्दभण्डार

सामान्य गल्ती

• Type नचिन्नु: Two-part question मा opinion मात्र लेख्ने, दोस्रो प्रश्न छुटाउने।
• Position बदलिनु: intro मा “agree”, conclusion मा “both sides are right”।
• Memorised introduction: सबै प्रश्नमा मिल्ने तयारी वाक्य; examiner ले सजिलै चिन्छन्।
• Example बिनाको body: “This is very important for society” जस्ता वाक्य मात्र दोहोर्‍याउनु।
• Conclusion मा नयाँ विचार: यसले paragraph को काम बिगार्छ।
• Underlength: 250 भन्दा कम words भए Task Response मा असर पर्छ।

सारांश

• Task 2 = कम्तीमा 250 words, करिब 40 मिनेट, Task 1 भन्दा बढी भार।
• प्रश्नको अन्तिम वाक्यले essay type र आवश्यक body योजना बताउँछ।
• Introduction = paraphrase + thesis; body = PEEL; conclusion = position पुनः।
• Position पूरा essay मा एकनास राख्नुहोस्।
• 5 मिनेट plan र 5 मिनेट check कहिल्यै नछोड्नुहोस्।
