3. Đoạn văn mẫu cho chủ đề IELTS: Relationship/Family

TOPIC: In recent years, the family structure has changed, as well as family roles. What are the changes that have occurred? Do you think these changes are positive and negative?

THESIS STATEMENT OF THE ESSAY

Some of the main changes will be identified, before an evaluation on whether this is a positive or negative trend is made.

BODY PARAGRAPH 01 – CHANGES

A few drastic changes could be observed in families today. [changes in the family structure] The most obvious one is the decreased size of an average family in society. In Vietnam, for example, a majority of extended families of three generations or more living under the same roof have been transformed into nuclear families with only parents and children or single-occupant households. [changes in the roles of family members] In addition, there is also a significant change in terms of the roles of the father and the mother in a family. The responsibility of males as the sole breadwinner of the family has now been shared with their partners, and now women have equal working opportunities compared with their male counterparts. Accordingly, household duties are also shared equally between the two sexes.
