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
Strongly agree. The climate crisis is accelerating, so delay is costly, and because emissions affect everyone, all nations must act together with support for poorer countries
Main-idea plan
BP1 → climate impacts are accelerating and delay increases costs · BP2 → emissions are a shared problem; coordinated action and support for developing countries are essential
2Idea generation
Body 1 — The urgency of the climate crisis
Climate impacts are accelerating ✓ strongest
Delay makes the transition more expensive
Air pollution kills millions dự phòng
Body 2 — Why the response must be global
Emissions are a shared problem; free-riding must be avoided ✓ strongest
Wealthy nations should fund and share technology
Energy independence for importing countries dự phòng
✓ strongest = ý dùng trong bài mẫu · dự phòng = ý thay thế, không có trong bài mẫu.
