IELTS Writing Task 2: rules for introductions
U
Many people decide on a career path early in their lives and keep to it. This, they
argue, leads to a more satisfying working life.
To what extent do you agree with this view?
What other things can people do in order to have a satisfying working life?
In today's lesson I just want to look at how to write an introduction
for this type of
question. My simple rules for task 2 introductions are:
1.
Write 2 sentences: introduce
the topic, then give a general answer.
2.
Mention everything that the question mentions.
3.
Don't save any surprises for the conclusion; give your opinion in the introduction if
the question asks for it.
Here's an example introduction:
It is true that some people know from an early age what career they want to pursue,
and they are happy to spend the rest of their lives in the same profession. While I
accept that
this may suit many people, I believe that others enjoy changing careers or
seeking job satisfaction in different ways.
I'll look at the main paragraphs next week.
