Cambridge 18: Test 1: Academic Writing Task 2 (Band 6.5 sample)

It is believed and understood by many that the main purpose of science is to enhance or develop people’s way of living. This essay will discuss why the author completely acknowledges this idea and several examples to support her idea.

In the old times, people in society had a more uncomfortable lifestyle. Electricity did not exist and they depended highly on nature as their source of lights (sun, moon, and stars) or candles or gas lamps. However, since the invention of electricity, scientists and other great minds have created various machines that help make our lives easier and better. Nowadays, humans have the luxury to enjoy the use of electronic devices and other household appliances like TV’s, radios, etc.

Machines were not only the result of the scientific revolution. Because of the study of science, medical breakthroughs happen. Long ago, tuberculosis was a disease that many feared; however, this time, this disease can be treated after only two weeks of medication. In some countries, tuberculosis has been successfully eradicated as a life-threatening condition.

Science has contributed so much to the improvement of our lives. As such, it is necessary that we continue to study it with precaution. Scientific inventions have not only improved lives but it has also destroyed many. There is a tendency for smart individuals to misuse their knowledge in science. One great example is the creation of weapons of mass destruction that have caused death and misery to countless lives during the time of the world war.
