Покупать новое или ремонтировать?

TASK 2 · TWO-PART QUESTION

Many people replace household items instead of repairing them. Why does this happen? What effects can this behaviour have?

Сначала сформулируй ответ на вопрос в одной фразе. Затем прочитай версию A и найди два места, где мысль заявлена, но не объяснена.

Nowadays people often buy new household things rather than repairing their old things. It is a common situation in the modern world. There are many reasons for this and it has different effects. I think people should repair more because repairing is good, but buying new things is also useful for people in some situations.

Firstly, new products are everywhere. People can see advertisements on their phones and they want the new products. For example, my neighbour bought a new chair because he saw it online. He said the chair was nice and he wanted a nice chair for his room. Also, some products are cheap, so people buy them. When a product is cheap, people think it is a good product and they do not want repair the old one. Another reason is that people are busy. Repairing take time and they do not have time because they are busy with many things. This is why people buy new household things.

This behaviour has several effects. Firstly, there is more rubbish, and rubbish is bad for the environment. The environment is very important for people and animals. Secondly, people spend money when they buy things. Spending money means that they have less money, which is not good. Thirdly, new products can be beautiful and people can enjoy them. So the effect is both good and bad. Companies sell more products and companies are important because they provide jobs. In my opinion people should be careful and think about the environment before they make a decision.

In conclusion, people buy new things because there are advertisements, cheap products and busy lives. It has effects on the environment and money. People should repair their things more often because it is a good way to help the world.

Не начинай с «красивых слов»

Сначала исправь ответ на вопрос и развитие аргумента. После этого — повторяющиеся языковые ошибки. Простая замена good на beneficial не устраняет пропущенную причинную связь.

Replacing a household item can seem easier than arranging a repair, even when the fault is minor. This behaviour is encouraged by the relative cost and inconvenience of repair, and it can increase both material waste and the frequency of household spending.

The immediate comparison often favours replacement. A customer may see the price and delivery date of a new item online, while the cost of repairing the old one remains uncertain until someone examines it. Locating a technician, transporting the item and waiting for a spare part add further effort. If a replacement is inexpensive and available quickly, the owner may decide that investigating a repair is not worthwhile. Advertising can reinforce this decision by presenting a newer design as an improvement, even though the existing item could still meet the household’s needs. The choice is therefore shaped by both practical barriers and the appeal of novelty.

One consequence is that usable materials may be discarded because a single component has failed. Replacing an entire lamp, for example, consumes more materials than replacing a damaged switch when a safe repair is available. Repeated replacement also changes spending habits: a seemingly small purchase becomes more costly when it is made again and again. There can be benefits where an old item is unsafe or no longer performs its function, so retaining every object indefinitely would not be a sensible alternative. The concern is unnecessary replacement, not replacement in all circumstances.

Overall, this pattern reflects a decision that is easy to make in the short term but can have cumulative consequences. Uncertain repair costs and quick access to new products encourage owners to replace rather than investigate. Where repair is practical and safe, overlooking it can turn a minor fault into avoidable waste and a recurring expense for the household.

Почему не достаточно просто убрать ошибки

Без точного ответа на вопрос и развитой поддержки даже грамматически аккуратная версия может оставаться ограниченной. Сравни структуру аргумента в двух работах, а не только исправленные окончания.

На реальном экзамене оценивается самостоятельно написанная работа целиком. Воспроизведение готовых фраз не доказывает такую же точность на новом вопросе.

Точечная редактура слабой версии

Было: Spending money means that they have less money.

Стало: A low replacement price can become a recurring expense if the item has to be bought repeatedly. Почему: Вместо определения расхода объяснено накопление затрат.

Было: Repairing take time and they do not have time because they are busy.

Стало: Arranging a repair may involve finding a technician, transporting the item and waiting for a part. Почему: Указано, на что именно уходит время; repairing takes также было бы грамматически верно.
