Một số lưu ý:
HS sẽ gặp đôi chút thử thách trong việc tìm ý tưởng, vì cách diễn đạt câu hỏi của đề có thể gây nhầm lẫn. Do đó, cần để ý đến cạm bẫy cần tránh nếu muốn đạt điểm cao, như:
– Cần tránh biến toàn bộ bài thành so sánh advantages & disadvantages trong việc trả lại các hiện vật lịch sử về quốc gia xuất xứ. Đây là các cách lạc đề gây mất điểm phổ biến đối với đề này. Nếu chọn viết theo hướng này, cần phải dẫn dắt được việc advantages > disadvantages (hay ngược lại) là lý do chính để đồng ý (hay không) với quan điểm trong đề bài.

Bài mẫu IELTS chủ đề Historical Objects
The repatriation of historical objects has been a contentious issue for many years, with some arguing that these artifacts should be returned to their country of origin, as opposed to others, who believe that they should remain in their current location. Despite some merits of reinstating original ownership of relics, I am largely against this idea.
This course of action can be beneficial to an extent. Initially, it can help to restore a sense of national identity, as the objects are seen as a symbol of the country’s history and culture. This is certainly the case with nations whose history is rich, such as Egypt or Greece, but whose artifacts are in exhibition thousands of miles away. Repatriation, furthermore, may ensure that the objects are well-preserved, as they may be better cared for in their home country than in their current location. When the people who preside over ancient relics feel connected to the objects’ origin, they would undoubtedly be committed to their protective responsibilities. It could, therefore, be argued that all artifacts deserve repatriation.
However, this idea is not always positive or practical. Firstly, the effort can be expensive, as the relics would need to be shipped to their country of origin to be stored. Statues, for example, are noticeably challenging to handle, as their sizes may not fit cargo planes, while their structural integrity may be compromised while travelling on the sea due to the environment. In addition, there may be competing claims from different countries over certain artifacts, resulting in difficulty in determining the rightful owner. A diplomatic row might end up sparking between various nations because of such a small issue, straining international relations. Taking these points into consideration, I would argue that the downsides of repatriation overshadow the gains.
In conclusion, while this idea warrants some merit, I generally disagree with returning every single historical artifact to its home country. Restoring original ownership, ultimately, should be based on a careful assessment of the costs and benefits, as well as the legal and ethical issues involved.
