INTRODUCTION: [IT CONTAIN TWO SENTENCES]
1ST sentence: paraphrase the statement from your question card.
( it is argued that, it is considered that, it is thought that )
it is better to take a job with big salary even if you don’t like it. (band 6)
it is more advantageous to choose a job with high wages even if it doesn’t
appeal to you at all. (band 8)
2nd sentence: say whether you agree or disagree with the statements .
I completely disagree with this opinion and think that job satisfaction is
more important than salary.
body paragraph (1)
sentence 1 : state the reason why you agree / disagree
[ this sentence contains the main idea of the whole body paragraph]
sentence 2, 3 : explain your reason
sentence 4 : give a suitable example
sentence 5 : write a short summary of your ideas
a good way to introduce the first supporting point, is to use phrase firstly
or first of all.
first of all ,I believe that job satisfaction gives people a sense of fulfillment
that no money can guarantee . Even if someone is earning a big salary, but
feels tense and compromises with his conscience, this person won’t enjoy
his life. while pursuing one’s interests will always bring pleasure and
feeling of satisfaction. For instance, a lot of famous researchers made
their career choices not because of appealing wages, but because they
were passionate about science. That’s why it is more important to choose
the kind of work that makes you happy than to look only at the high
salary.
body paragraph (2)
sentence 1 : state the reason why you agree / disagree
[ this sentence contains the main idea of the whole body paragraph]
sentence 2, 3 : explain your reason
sentence 4 : give a suitable example
sentence 5 : write a short summary of your ideas
secondly ,doing what you like keeps you motivated and therefore leads to
a career growth .In other words, there is a strong relation between job
satisfaction and productivity. People who love their job can excel in their
fields of work and achieve better results than those who put salary in the
first place. For example, Hendry miller decides to leave his job despite a
good wage and ventured to become a writer. And after enduring years of
ups and downs he become one of the most famous and well-paid authors
of the twentieth century. Thus, the advantages of jobs that keep you
satisfied outweigh the drawback of a low salary in a long-term
perspective.
CONCLUSION :
YOU CAN WRITE THE CONCLUSION IN 1 SENCTENCE.
TO CUNCLUDE,
IN CONCLUSION + restate your opinion + restate 2
reason
IN THE END
TO SUM UP,
to conclude, I strongly believe that job satisfaction is more beneficial than
high salary because it makes people happy and motivated.
[ note: you should not put new thoughts or ideas into your conclusion ]
