Why is it difficult to define?
What factors are important in achieving happiness?
I call this a "2 part" question, and it's easier than you think. Just answer the first
question in paragraph 2, and the second question in paragraph 3:
43
1. Introduction - topic + simple answer to both questions
2. Paragraph - explain why happiness is difficult to define
U
Some ideas:
U
Explain that happiness means different things to different people; the
same situation can make one person happy but another person sad/bored etc. Give
examples of what makes different people happy (money, success, family, friends,
hobbies). Give an example from your experience e.g. a hobby that makes you happy
but that your friend hates.
3. Paragraph - give your opinions about how to achieve happiness
U
Some ideas:
U
Try to organise your ideas logically - you could begin with humans' basic
needs (in order to be happy we need to be healthy and have somewhere to live, food
to eat etc.) then talk about the importance of family and friends. You could then write
about career, money, success, status etc. - maybe you could explain that these things
mean nothing if we do not have family and friends to share our experiences with.
Give an example from your own life - what will make you happier than you are now?
4. Conclusion - repeat/summarise the main ideas

IELTS Writing Task 2: 'technology' topic
U
This was a recent IELTS exam question:
Early technological developments helped ordinary people and changed their lives
more than recent developments.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Here's the plan that I wrote with my students:
1.
Introduction: we disagree because we think that early and recent technologies have
had an
equally
significant impact on our lives.
2.
Paragraph about how early technologies helped people.
3.
Paragraph about how recent technologies help people.
4.
Conclusion: repeat the significance of both.
Here's a picture of what we wrote for paragraph 2:
