Part 3 – IELTS Speaking: Helping others

• How is online help different from real-life help?

Although these two methods can raise money for the underprivileged, their emotional effects will be different. In real life, people get an emotional touch when they assist others. Meanwhile, in the case of online help, people are not constrained by geographical boundaries and can help others anytime, anywhere. Money can also be donated to online charities, which can be used on the ground. The event’s authenticity is another distinction. Compared to online help, real-life help allows us to confirm whether a person has received our assistance or not. Furthermore, there is a chance of getting duped when helping online. For instance, a campaign to support wildlife is sharing a post on Instagram, but in reality, that page is merely doing so to get followers and fame, not to truly support wildlife.

• Should schools be responsible for teaching students how to cooperate?

I believe that teaching children about cooperation should be the joint responsibility of parents and schools. However, since school is where today’s kids spend the majority of their time learning and developing discipline, teachers can also allow them to instil this skill. Teamwork will also be very necessary for students in the future when they enter the workforce. Therefore, I believe that school is the ideal setting for pupils to learn how to collaborate. In addition, parents also need to take responsibility for instructing and encouraging their kids to join clubs at school or organizations to develop their teamwork abilities. In actuality, partaking in these activities fosters the development of other soft skills, including critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving as well as teamwork.

• What are the differences between help from friends and help from family?

In my opinion, the distinction between receiving support from relatives and friends is reciprocity. In particular, we frequently assume that our family members will aid us without expecting anything in return, as we take it for granted. While, if our friends help us, we will feel compelled to requite them sooner or later. In some cases, help from friends is more helpful than that from parents. For example, in studying, when having a difficult exercise or question, it’s better to ask our peers for help than to ask our parents. The fact that our parents may not be able to recall some information as clearly as they formerly could. In addition, educational reform programs almost take place annually.
