1Task analysis
Item
Detail
Essay type
Opinion (agree / disagree — to what extent)
Main topic
Whether countries must work together now to make every nation use less oil and gas
Keywords
international community · immediate action · all nations · reduce their consumption · fossil fuels
Task focus
Judge whether urgent, international action is needed so that every country uses less fossil fuel
Required position
Say clearly how far you agree or disagree and keep the same position in every paragraph
Plain-English meaning
Should the world act now, together, to make sure every country uses less oil and gas?
Hidden trap
Three key ideas: international (countries together), immediate (now, not later) and all nations (including poorer countries). Address at least two of them
Chosen stance
Agree. Burning oil and gas causes climate change, which is getting worse now, and one country alone cannot solve a global problem
Main-idea plan
BP1 → fossil fuels cause climate change and pollution, so we must act now · BP2 → pollution crosses borders, so all countries must act together
2Idea generation
Body 1 — Climate change needs urgent action
Burning oil and gas causes climate change ✓ strongest
Extreme weather is getting worse
Air pollution harms health dự phòng
Body 2 — Countries must work together
Pollution crosses borders, so all countries must act ✓ strongest
Rich countries can help poor countries
Oil will run out one day dự phòng
✓ strongest = ý dùng trong bài mẫu · dự phòng = ý thay thế, không có trong bài mẫu.
