IELTS Writing Task 2

Topic:

Sex education in schools are only introducing conflicting ideas and confusing among immature minds and should be immediately stopped. Give your opinion in not less than 250 words.

Example writing:

Sex education matters. Schools, on their part, cannot afford to suspend sex education. But there is another lesson to be learned about commitment rather than about shame. That sex education may give rise to conflicting points of view is understandable. More often than not, adolescents get confused about an attitude toward responsability to each other. The new lesson is about old family values. Today, more importance should be attached to sex education as a good idea. But it does not mean that kids should be given homework.

The logic is obvious. Teen-age pregnancy is a problem. Birth-control is the solution. Shame is the barrier to applying the solution. Therefore, elimate shame. Substitute it for commitment common in older generations. It is nothing less than sharing the wisdom of "old-fashioned" men and wives gained by keeping promises of the youth. In other words, the new sex ideology should protect teen-agers from embarrassment by saying, "If you feel ready, then it's okay."

But ready for what? Ready for conquest? Ready to quit studying? Ready to be independent economically? Ready to bring a new life into the world? It is true that new technology has take away the worry of having children or risking AIDS. Safe sex is good news, to be sure. But behind that should be a true belief in the family values. Sex education is much more than condoms and pills.

It is wrong for school boys and girls to consider sexual choices as morally neutral. There is a danger of leaving sex to float around everybody's life as the "original sin." This concept is harmful to immature minds. Of course, time has changed. It used to be that people got married and then had sex. When the baby came, there was a place for it. That was then. And this is now when sex education should be about pre-marital sextual activities. Like it or not, it is a new reality. And based on the new reality, sex education should go on to stress the good old value of love and trust. The message is clear without confusing to teen-agers: a true commitment should be worth a true ring.
