Hello, I would like to clarify the writer agreed to the
"management of the government" , "On the other hand, private
organizations" <--- but it is still needed to negate the other
views? , instead, would giving a positive outcome to
government is enough to state? because it makes a little bit in
confusion. another thing, "Another disadvantage related to this
is the research process", "This" <-- means the focus is about
the Private sectors.??? Because, it seems like the first body
paragraph comprised of Government + Private set up, and the
second body paragraph is about Private set up. But the intro.
has the "government" as the chosen managing sector????

I've made a couple of minor changes to the essay, but it
is clear. No it's not always necessary to show the two
views, but this essay does because it has been
organised in a compare / contrast style. If you can see
that, it may not be so confusing to you.

In each paragraph it makes a comparison between the


governments managing research with private
organisations. You are asked about both in the
question, so it is logical to compare them in order to
illustrate clearly why one is better than the other.

There are of course other ways to organise the essay.


You don't have to do it the way it has been done. If
there is a way to write it that is easier for you that is
fine, as long as it answers the question.

'This' is referring to the content of the first body


paragraph.

This is an IELTS question. You are not expected to be
experts in the topics, but to do well in the IELTS test
you are exptected to have a broad understanding and
knowledge of issues relevant in today's society.
Sometimes you are asked about funding - for example
should the government fund the arts or the renovation
of old buildings.

The answer here does not involve complex scientific


language, but issues around pubic versus private
funding. This is an example of a high-scoring essay too
remember. You may have some different and less
complex ideas if you answer it but they may be fine.

I don't really get it. The writer agrees on the statement that
government should hold more responsibility of scientific
research as stated in the introduction. But then in the third
paragraph ''Another disadvantage related to this..'' implies as if
the word ''this'' in the context is referring to the original stand
which should have been in support and not otherwise thus not
disadvantage but advantage. For me somehow it is rather
confusing and losing the coherence of the main idea.
