U
Many students find the following question difficult (Cambridge IELTS 4, page 55):
Happiness is considered very important in life.
Why is it difficult to define?
What factors are important in achieving happiness?
Here are some ideas from my ebook.
•
Happiness means different things to different people.
•
It can be described as a feeling of pleasure or enjoyment.
•
People enjoy spending time with family and friends.
•
Hobbies, sports and games can be a source of fun and enjoyment.
•
Some people see money as a source of happiness.
•
Other people define happiness as something deeper.
•
They need to feel that they are doing something useful with their lives.
•
Some people get a sense of achievement from their work.
•
Others find happiness in bringing up their children.
Try expanding on these idea to write a full essay. Remember to use examples from
your experience; this is the best way to develop an idea.

IELTS Writing Task 2: global language argument
U
The speaker in yesterday's video gave the positives of English as a global second
language. Here is a paragraph with arguments against this view.
Negatives of English as a global language:
The expansion of English has also been criticised. Some people worry that if one
language, like English, becomes dominant, other languages may disappear.
Languages spoken by small communities could become extinct as people learn
English in order to find work. This would obviously have a negative effect on local
cultures, customs and traditions because the new dominant language would bring its
own culture with it. For example, the expansion of English has happened alongside
the increasing popularity of American culture. The American film, music and fashion
industries are as dominant as global American companies and products, such as
Microsoft or the iPod. Some people call this ‘cultural imperialism’, meaning that one
culture has power over others.
