Esai 1: opinion

Some people believe that working from home is better for employees than working in an office. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Since the pandemic, millions of employees have discovered that they can do their jobs from home, and many now prefer it. While remote work offers clear benefits, I believe that a mix of home and office work is better for most employees than working from home all the time.

The strongest argument for working from home is time. In large cities such as Jakarta, a daily commute can take two or three hours, which leaves people exhausted before they even start work. Without that journey, employees have more energy for their tasks and more time for their families, which can improve both productivity and wellbeing.

However, working from home every day has hidden costs. Young employees in particular learn a great deal by watching experienced colleagues, asking quick questions and being included in informal conversations. When everyone is at home, these opportunities largely disappear, and new staff may feel isolated or progress more slowly. In addition, not everyone has a quiet room to work in; for someone sharing a small house with relatives, the office may actually be the more productive place.

In conclusion, although working from home saves time and stress, I disagree that it is better in every case. A flexible arrangement, with two or three days in the office, allows employees to enjoy the advantages of both.

Kenapa band 7: posisi jelas di pendahuluan dan konsisten sampai kesimpulan; setiap paragraf punya satu gagasan; contoh lokal (Jakarta) yang konkret; kosakata tepat (commute, wellbeing, isolated).

Versi band 6 dari kalimat yang sama: Work from home is good because no need traffic jam and employee can have more time with family. Masalahnya: subjek tidak lengkap, employee tanpa jamak, no need sebagai kata kerja.

Esai 2: discussion

Some people think that students should learn mainly through online courses, while others believe classroom learning is essential. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Online courses have grown rapidly in recent years, which has led some people to question whether traditional classrooms are still necessary. This essay will discuss both views, but I believe that classroom learning remains essential, especially for younger students.

Those who favour online learning point to its flexibility and low cost. A student in a small town can follow lectures from a top university without moving to another city, and working adults can study in the evening. Online platforms also let learners replay difficult explanations as many times as they need.

On the other hand, supporters of classroom learning argue that education is not only about information. In a classroom, teachers can notice when a student is confused and adjust their explanation immediately. Students also develop social skills through group work and discussion, which are difficult to practise alone in front of a screen. Moreover, many teenagers lack the self-discipline to complete an online course without supervision.

In my opinion, online courses are an excellent addition for adults and for specialised subjects, but they cannot replace classrooms for school students, who need guidance and interaction as much as they need knowledge.

Kenapa band 7: kedua pandangan dibahas seimbang, pendapat sendiri muncul di pendahuluan dan kesimpulan. Kalimat This essay will discuss both views boleh dipakai karena langsung diikuti posisi.

Esai 3: advantages and disadvantages

More and more people are choosing to live and work abroad. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

An increasing number of people now move to another country for work. In my view, the benefits of this trend outweigh the drawbacks, both for the individuals and for their home countries.

The main disadvantage is the emotional cost. Living far from family can be lonely, and migrants may miss important events such as weddings or a parent’s illness. There is also the risk that a country loses its most skilled workers, for example nurses or engineers, which can weaken local services.

Nevertheless, the advantages are greater. Working abroad usually brings much higher wages, and the money that migrants send home supports their families’ education and health. Furthermore, many of them eventually return with new skills, professional networks and experience of different working cultures, which they can use to start businesses or improve the organisations they join.

In conclusion, while living abroad involves personal sacrifice and some loss of talent, the financial benefits and the skills that people bring back make it a positive development overall.

Kenapa band 7: pertanyaan Do the advantages outweigh…? dijawab langsung (“the benefits outweigh the drawbacks”), bukan sekadar daftar kelebihan dan kekurangan.
