IELTS Writing Task 2/ IELTS Essay:

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.  

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing.

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

You should write at least 250 words.

I absolutely agree with the statement that sometimes people should do things they do not enjoy doing. Take me for example and I can say from my own experience that doing new things explore new possibilities in front of me.

I hate to get up early. It is so relaxing to wake up without the help of an alarm clock and to lie fifteen minutes more recalling your dreams. Nevertheless, I get up at 6 o'clock every morning, put on my T-shirt and shorts and go jogging. Sometimes when I hear the sound of my alarm clock I have a strong wish to put my head under the pillow and fall asleep. Now and then I wake up at night and look at my wrist watch to check how many hours I have left. And I am the happiest person in the whole world because I have a few more hours to sleep. You may ask me "Why do I do it every morning?". Because more than I hate to get up early I love to feel the freshness of the morning air. I love to feel a little bit tired and at the same time to be so full of energy. It helps me to feel better all day long.

Moreover, I hate shopping. It is my opinion that shopping takes too much time which I can spend doing things I enjoy doing. Nevertheless every week I go to the nearest supermarket because otherwise my refrigerator will be empty and I can not afford to have dinner at the restaurant every day. Besides, I like to cook. So, a few hours spent on shopping makes me happy for the whole week. Is not it great?

From my point of view when a man has to do things that he does not like to, he becomes stronger, more responsible and can enjoy life.
