🦩 Paraphrasing the IELTS essay topic 🦩

📝 Topic: "The most important aim of science should be to improve people's lives. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?"

📝 Here are two sentences written by a student:

1. It has been posited that the paramount objective of science should be the enhancement of human lives. (Introduction)
2. I staunchly contend that the unequivocal aspiration of science is the enhancement of human life. (Conclusion)

Even though the topic is technically paraphrased, the paraphrase is entirely lexical and looks like a translation from "simple" to "fancy" rather than skillful use of language.

It's a good idea to add some more paraphrasing techniques:

1️⃣ Change the subject of the sentence. Make "science" the subject of the sentence. If you do, you will get a different sentence structure, which is a plus.

2️⃣ Change the part of speech. E.g. science - scientific, important - importance, aim - be aimed. This will also entail changes in the sentence structure and, hopefully, allow you to use even more good language.

3️⃣ Put some ideas into separate clauses or even sentences. E.g. "There is some debate as to what the most important aim of science should be, with some people arguing it is the improvement of people's lives ... ."

Now combine one or all of these techniques with lexical paraphrasing and offer your version in the comments. 📝
