Task Requirements for Students:

• Length: Write an essay of 300–350 words.
• Structure:

• Introduction: State your opinion on whether operating systems have made computing more accessible and efficient. Briefly introduce the three points you will discuss.

• Paragraph 2: Explain the role of operating systems in supporting software development (e.g., providing tools, libraries, or compatibility for developers).
• Paragraph 3: Analyse how operating systems handle security and privacy (e.g., user authentication, data encryption, or vulnerabilities) and why this is important for users.

• Conclusion: Summarize your points and restate your opinion, giving a final reason to support your view.

• Language:

• Use vocabulary and grammar (e.g., simple and compound sentences, connectors like "because," "however," "in addition").
• Include topic-specific terms related to operating systems (e.g., "interface," "compatibility," "encryption") and explain them simply if needed.
• Avoid overly complex technical jargon.

• Content:

• Provide clear arguments with examples or reasons for each point.
• Include your own perspective in the third point (security and privacy), supported by logical reasoning.
