IELTS Writing Task 2: governments
U
A lot of IELTS Writing questions ask you to give opinions about what governments
should do in relation to an issue. Governments can
have an influence on almost
everything: environment, crime, television,
advertising, work etc.
As part of your IELTS preparation, you should think about what governments can do
in relation to IELTS topics. Here are some ideas from my ebook:
•
Governments provide public services like healthcare and education.
•
They introduce new laws.
•
They raise money by taxing working people.
•
They can spend money on campaigns to educate people.
•
They can raise people's awareness of issues.
•
They can create new jobs.
•
They can provide resources for schools, hospitals etc.
•
They can support people who are living in poverty or unable to work.
So, if the question asks you to suggest what governments should
do to reduce obesity,
you could write this:
"In my opinion, governments should spend money on
campaigns to educate people
about the importance of regular exercise and a healthy diet. Perhaps they should also
introduce new laws to ban the advertising of junk food to children."
Think about some other IELTS topics. What do you think governments should do?
