its a very interesting topic. I don't know much about the comparison between IB and DSE. It seems that the only argument to say IB is easier is that more people in HK can get good marks in IB, without much analysis on the exam papers, or the people who take the exam.
For completeness, i also set out below the topics for a DSE writing paper. I like these topics, at least i understand what they ask and what to write. honestly, it takes me a while to understand the topics for IB. And you only need to write 400 words on any of the topics.
Learning English through Sports Communication
You have been asked by Mr Wong, the teacher in charge of the school magazine, to produce an article about a
well-known sports star. You need to write an email to Mr Wong. In this email, suggest a sports star, explain what
would be included in the article and outline how you will make the article attractive to your schoolmates.
3. Learning English through Drama
You are reading Hamlet by William Shakespeare for drama class. In the play, Prince Hamlet avenged his father’s
murder by killing his uncle, Claudius. Your homework is to write a diary entry about a situation in which you
revenge an injustice.
4. Learning English through Social Issues
Your school is discussing joining the Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) which allows schools to freely decide on their
curriculum, fees and entrance requirements. However, the scheme has been criticised as benefiting the private
education sector and the well-off students at the expense of the public sector. Write a letter to the school Principal
to express your concerns and give three reasons why you oppose the school joining the scheme.
5. Learning English through Debating
Some people describe Hong Kong as a ‘city of protest’ because its people often take to the streets to show their
dissatisfaction towards the government. Write a letter to the editor of the Pan Lloyds Post about this. In your letter,
describe a protest that you think is unreasonable, outline the point of view of the protesters, and indicate why you
think those people are unreasonable.
6. Learning English through Workplace Communication
You are a human resources officer. Recently your boss has observed that the office is very untidy, and people are
not disposing of their rubbish properly so there is rubbish even in the aisles. He has asked you to write an article
for the company’s website describing the situation and discussing the negative effects. You have also been asked to
give two suggestions to improve the situation. Give a suitable title for your article.
7. Learning English through Popular Culture
Smartphones are increasing in popularity all over the world and are no longer appealing only to young people.
