📃IELTS Writing Task 2 – Band 8.5

Sample Essay

Topic: Some people believe that technology has made our lives more complicated, while others think it has made life easier. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Essay

In contemporary society, technology permeates every aspect of human activity, from personal communication to global commerce. While critics contend that this digital dominance breeds unnecessary complexity, others maintain that it streamlines life in unprecedented ways. This essay will examine both positions before articulating my own perspective.
On the one hand, detractors argue that technological progress introduces layers of complication. Rapid innovation requires constant adaptation, leaving many feeling perpetually behind. For instance, frequent software updates, shifting user interfaces, and the need for cybersecurity awareness can overwhelm individuals who lack technical fluency. Moreover, the erosion of privacy in the digital age—where personal data are routinely collected and monetised—forces people to navigate legal and ethical dilemmas that scarcely existed a generation ago.
On the other hand, proponents highlight technology’s unparalleled capacity to simplify. Routine tasks such as banking, shopping, and even medical consultations can now be accomplished within minutes from virtually anywhere. In addition, collaboration across continents is instantaneous, empowering businesses and individuals alike. Furthermore, automation reduces repetitive labour, enabling humans to devote more energy to creative and analytical pursuits. Such efficiencies were unimaginable prior to the digital revolution.
In my view, technology is a net force for simplicity, provided that society cultivates digital literacy and self-discipline. When individuals master the tools at their disposal and establish boundaries—such as managing screen time or safeguarding personal data—the advantages of speed, accessibility, and global connectivity far outweigh the attendant challenges. Rather than rejecting innovation, we should refine our ability to harness it.

PART 2
ABOUT MY FAVOURITE BOOK ( duration - 2:30 minutes)
I want to talk about a book I recently read called Psixo tryuki by Igor Rizov. The book is about psychological tricks and techniques that people use, often without others realizing it. Interestingly, it contains 69 points, and each point explains a different method of influencing human behavior.
I decided to read this book because I’m really interested in psychology. Before this, I had read books by Dale Carnegie, Daniel Kahneman, Robert Cialdini, and Carol Dweck. Those books were amazing, but discovering that Russian authors also write such insightful works on psychology really excited me.
After reading Psixo tryuki, I really enjoyed its “psycho plot” – the way it naturally explains psychological tricks and makes everything easy to understand. The ideas flow smoothly, and each of the 69 points offers practical insights that help you protect yourself from other people’s manipulation. It also made me realize that these skills will be very useful in my future career, especially because I plan to work in public administration, where understanding human behavior and recognizing manipulative tactics is crucial.
Overall, I found it practical, thought-provoking, and very engaging. I think it’s a must-read for anyone who wants to understand psychology better, protect themselves from manipulation, or gain skills that are useful in a professional setting.

Why This Book Matters? From Mediocrity to Sustained Greatness

Why do some companies achieve lasting greatness while others, with similar resources and opportunities, never break beyond mediocrity? *Good to Great* tackles this fundamental question with clarity, precision, and a depth of research that cuts through the noise of business fads. Drawing on a five-year study of companies that made the leap and sustained superior performance, Jim Collins reveals a blueprint not of silver bullets or dramatic pivots, but of disciplined decisions, quiet leadership, and relentless focus.

This book isn't about flashy innovation or charismatic CEOs-it's about the deep, often unglamorous work of transformation. From building a culture of accountability to harnessing the right technology only when it aligns with core strategy, Collins offers tools that are practical, actionable, and grounded in evidence.

Whether you're a business leader, team manager, startup founder, or someone simply trying to understand how to turn good intentions into great outcomes, this book delivers insights that challenge assumptions and shift mindsets. For anyone ready to move past quick wins and build something that lasts, *Good to Great* is not just recommended reading—it’s essential.
