Today my students planned an essay for this topic. The photo
below shows the ideas
they had in the lesson:

IELTS Writing Task 2: how to use your 40 minutes
U
You have 40 minutes for task 2, so try organising your time in the following way:
First 10 minutes
Read the question and make sure you understand what it is asking you to do.
Write a
plan for a 4-paragraph essay (introduction, 2
main paragraphs, conclusion) and
spend
most of the 10 minutes thinking of ideas for the 2 main paragraphs.
5 minutes
Write your introduction: 2 sentences are enough (

)

20 minutes
Spend 10 minutes on each of your main body paragraphs. These are they most
important part of your essay, and the key to a high score.
Last 5 minutes
Write a quick conclusion (

) then check your work.

These are suggestions, not rules.
Students are often surprised by my 10-minute planning time. In
my experience, a
good plan helps you to write your essay much faster than you think.

IELTS Writing Task 2: 'women and work' topic
U
Dana sent me the following question:
Women should have an equal role alongside men in both police and armed forces.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Here is my plan for a 4-paragraph essay:
1. Introduction: topic + response
- Introduce the topic e.g. "Increasing numbers of women are choosing to..."
- Respond to the question e.g. "I completely agree that women should be able..."
