答案 To earn a top score, you should develop a multi-paragraph essay that responds to the issue of whether life is easier and more comfortable now than when your grandparents were children. Typically an effective response will contain a minimum of 300 words. One successful way to express agreement with the prompt is to describe how developments in a particular field have helped to make life easier. Describing how work in the household has become so much easier as a result of the availability of electronic appliances could be one way to develop such a response; you could explain how these machines save time on doing household tasks that years ago took many hours or even days to complete, and conclude that life is much easier now because we have more free time. On the other hand, you could disagree with the prompt by explaining that life was more comfortable when your grandparents were children. For example, it may be the case that when your grandparents were children, the air and water were cleaner, food was fresher, and some types of jobs were less stressful; you could discuss the importance of any of those in support of your opinion. Keep in mind that there is no "correct" answer to this question. Either side of the issue can be supported with examples and reasons. It is important to make sure that you state your opinion and develop a response that explains your opinion well. The development of your essay is judged by how effectively you support your opinion; a well-developed essay will contain clearly appropriate reasons, examples, and details that illustrate your opinion. Development is not evaluated simply in terms of how many words you write. Your response should be well organized. A well-organized essay allows an evaluator to read from the beginning to the end of the essay without becoming confused. You should be sure not to just repeat the same information in different ways. The quality and accuracy of the sentence structure and vocabulary you use to express your ideas is also very important.
