2017.11.11 IELTS Task 2 Sample Essay

People in many countries spend more and more time far away from their families. Why does this happen and what effects will it have on them and their families?

There is now an increasing trend of individuals spending time far away from their families, which I believe sprouts from their hectic professional lives. In my opinion, this development has negative effects on both the individuals and their families.

[Key Vocab]

sprout:

V. 发芽，使发芽

e.g.: Office blocks are sprouting up everywhere.

hectic:

adj. 繁忙的，忙乱

e.g.: I have had a pretty hectic day.

People have to devote more time separated from their families due to their heavy workload that has come along with globalisation. As more firms have become international, work life has become more demanding. Numerous people are required to work overtime, travel overseas and even work from home regularly to deliver results at their jobs. For example, employees of multinational companies such as Amazon and Facebook travel to various countries to meet their foreign clients as well as handle operations internationally, which keeps them away from their families for long periods of time routinely.

[Key Vocab]

devote:

Vt. 致力于，奉献

e.g.: He devoted his energies to writing films.

demanding:

adj. 苛求的，要求高的

e.g.: Climbing is physically demanding.

work overtime:

加班

e.g.: Excess alcohol causes your kidneys and liver to work overtime to rid the body of the toxins.

work from home:

在家工作

e.g.: You can easily work from home and/or with people thousands of miles away.

routinely:

adv. 例行公事地

e.g.: This vaccine is already routinely used.

Moreover, this lack of time with family will gravely affect individuals and their families with mental and emotional stress. The persons living far from their families would be devoid of their support system, would feel isolated from their loved ones and may end up feeling miserable and depressed. Similarly, family members would constantly be worried and anxious about the person’s well-being. For instance, parents whose kids study or work abroad are concerned about their children’s eating habits, standard of living, hygiene and sickness, as well as personal and professional lives and numerous other things, which subject the parents to regular tension. Such stresses can result in various diseases in people, such as high blood pressure, migraines or even cardiac problems, all of which will severely impact their lives.

[Key Vocab]

gravely:

adv. 严重地，严肃地

e.g.: He bore the honour gravely and with no untoward conceit.

devoid:

adj. 缺乏的，毫无某物

e.g.: His face was devoid of any warmth or humour.

miserable:

adj. 悲惨的，痛苦的

e.g.: Why do you make yourself miserable by taking on too much work?

eating habit:

饮食习惯

e.g.: You have a terrible eating habit as I don’t think you know anything about nutrition.

hygiene:

n. 卫生，宝剑

e.g.: the importance of personal hygiene

Many diseases proceed from negligence of hygiene.

migraine:

n. [内科] 偏头疼

e.g.: He suffers from severe migraine.

In conclusion, people spend much more time away from their families due to the onset of globalisation and their heavy work-lives, a development which will result in psychological and emotional stress for both.
