  • Dạng discuss both views thì đã rất quen thuộc với các bạn học sinh lớp IELTS ONLINE WRITING 1 KÈM 1 của IELTS TUTOR rồi nhé.
  • Dạng discuss both views có thể bố cục bài như sau:
    • Body 1: Viết về quan điểm others think of a vertical city
      • Main idea 1: Living in a vertical city allows for more people to live in a smaller area, reducing the need for long commutes and the associated pollution.
        • Supporting idea: It offers more efficient use of space, which can lead to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly city >> IELTS TUTOR lưu ý Cách dùng tính từ"sustainable"tiếng anh 
        • Example: For example, in Hong Kong, a city with a population of over 7 million people, the majority of residents live in high-rise apartments due to limited land availability. This vertical living arrangement has resulted in a highly efficient public transportation system, including an extensive subway system and bus network, which reduces the need for car ownership and long commutes.
      • Main idea 2: Vertical cities can create a sense of community in high-rise buildings, with shared amenities such as rooftop gardens, communal spaces, and fitness centers.
        • Supporting idea: One of a shared amenity that can foster a sense of community in high-rise buildings is a rooftop garden. These gardens provide a space for residents to come together and enjoy nature, socialize, and potentially even grow their own food.
        • Example: For instance, the Park Royal on Pickering in Singapore has a rooftop garden that spans over 15,000 square meters and includes a variety of plants and trees. The garden features walking paths, a fitness area, and even a swimming pool, all of which can be used by residents to interact and bond with one another >> IELTS TUTOR lưu ý Cách dùng danh từ "fitness" tiếng anh
    • Body 2: Viết về quan điểm Some people think that it is best to live in a horizontal city & nêu rõ mình ủng hộ quan điểm này 
      • Main idea 1: Living in a horizontal city allows for more privacy and a greater connection to nature, with more green spaces, parks, and outdoor recreational areas. 
        • Hupporting idea: 
          • It offers more open spaces, larger houses with yards and gardens, and a greater sense of community >> IELTS TUTOR lưu ý Cách dùng"SENSE"tiếng anh
          • These green spaces can provide residents with a variety of benefits, including opportunities for relaxation, exercise, and socialization.
        • Example: For example, Central Park in New York City is a 843-acre park located in the heart of Manhattan. The park offers a variety of recreational activities such as jogging paths, sports fields, and boating on its lakes. Residents of nearby neighborhoods can easily access the park and enjoy its amenities, providing them with a connection to nature in the middle of a bustling city.
      • Main idea 2: Horizontal cities can also reduce the risk of overcrowding, traffic congestion, and pollution.
        • Supporting idea: 
          • Horizontal cities tend to have a more spread-out layout, which can reduce traffic congestion compared to vertical cities >> IELTS TUTOR lưu ý Cách dùng động từ"reduce"tiếng anh

          • This is because there is more space for roads, and residents may not need to travel through densely populated areas to reach their destinations.

        • Example: For example, Houston, Texas is a horizontal city that has a large road network and relatively low population density compared to other major cities in the United States. This layout reduces traffic congestion and makes it easier for residents to commute to work or run errands.

IELTS TUTOR gợi ý bài tham khảo:

The debate over whether it is better to live in a horizontal or vertical city has gained increasing attention in recent years. While vertical cities are praised for their efficiency and space-saving benefits, I strongly believe that horizontal cities offer a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.

On the one hand, advocates of vertical cities argue that they provide a compact (small in size; nhỏ gọn) and sustainable (able to be maintained without harming the environment; bền vững) solution to urban challenges. High-rise apartments allow more people to live in limited areas, thus reducing long commutes and cutting down on air pollution. For example, Hong Kong, with over seven million residents, relies heavily on vertical housing, which supports its extensive (covering a large area; rộng lớn) subway and bus network. In addition, vertical living can foster a sense of community through shared amenities (useful features or facilities; tiện nghi) such as rooftop gardens, communal lounges, or fitness centers. For instance, the Park Royal on Pickering in Singapore incorporates a massive rooftop garden where residents can exercise, socialize, and connect with nature, proving that vertical design can still prioritize human interaction.

On the other hand, I do believe that horizontal cities provide residents with more privacy and a stronger bond with nature. Unlike the crowded environment of high-rises, horizontal layouts allow for larger houses, private yards, and abundant green spaces (areas of grass, trees, or other vegetation; không gian xanh). These areas enhance people’s well-being by offering opportunities for exercise, social activities, and relaxation. A notable example is Central Park in New York City, where locals enjoy jogging, boating, or sports amidst greenery, creating a harmonious (balanced and pleasant; hài hòa) lifestyle despite being in a bustling metropolis. Furthermore, horizontal cities reduce risks of overcrowding, traffic jams, and pollution. Houston, Texas, for instance, has a spread-out structure with wide roads and lower population density, which helps minimize congestion and makes commuting more manageable.>> tham khảo CẦN VIẾT & THU ÂM BAO NHIÊU BÀI ĐỂ ĐẠT 8.0 SPEAKING & 7.0 WRITING?

In conclusion, although vertical cities can be efficient and innovative, I believe horizontal cities provide greater comfort, privacy, and connection to nature, which are essential for long-term quality of life.
