IELTS Writing Task 2: 'immigration' topic
U
What are the benefits and drawbacks of immigration or multi-cultural societies?
Here is a paragraph giving some of the economic benefits of immigration:
From an economic perspective, immigration can be extremely positive. Many
immigrants have skills that are needed in the country they move to. For example,
countries sometimes lack key workers like doctors and nurses, and immigration is
therefore encouraged. Immigrants who find work contribute to the economy of their
new country with the skills they bring and the taxes they pay. At the same time, many
immigrants send money to help family members in their home country, therefore
helping to boost that economy too.
Can you think of any social benefits of immigration? Are there any economic or
social disadvantages?
PS. I'll send a few extra paragraphs about this topic to people on my email list (people
who have bought the

IELTS Writing Task 2: using examples
U
Sometimes, the best way to think of ideas for an essay is to start with an example.
One good example can give you enough ideas for a full paragraph.
Look at the following question:
Should governments make decisions about people's lifestyle, or should people make
their own decisions?
This question seems difficult, but if you take "smoking" as an example of a lifestyle
choice, it becomes a lot easier. Here's my paragraph:
In some cases, governments can help people to make better lifestyle choices. In the
UK, for example, smoking is now banned in all workplaces, and it is even prohibited
for people to smoke in restaurants, bars and pubs. As a result, many people who used
to smoke socially have now given up. At the same time, the government has ensured
that cigarette prices keep going up, and there have been several campaigns to
highlight the health risks of smoking. These measures have also helped to reduce the
number of smokers in this country.
PS. There is a useful chapter about 'government and society' in my
U
