Ielts academic Writing Task 2IELTS Writing Task 2: 'art and science' topicIELTS Academic Writing Task 2 (Simon)IELTS Writing Task 2: 'art and science' topic
U
A student sent me this recent exam question:
These days people pay more attention to artists (writers, painters and so on) and
give less importance to science and technology.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
This seems to me to be a perfect question for a "balanced opinion" answer (i.e. both
art and science are given equal importance). However, notice that you need
to
disagree
with the question statement in order to give this balanced response.
Here's my recommended 4-paragraph essay plan:
1.
U
Introduction
U
: we could accept that artists are popular nowadays, but disagree that
science and technology are treated as less important.
2.
U
Main paragraph
U
about the popularity of artists. I'd use examples as the basis for this
paragraph. If you don't know any writers or painters, you can talk about actors and
musicians.
3.
U
Main paragraph
U
about the importance of science and technology. I'd write about the
popularity of mobile phones, computers and tablets. Maybe I'd use Steve Jobs or Bill
Gates as examples of people who are famous for the technologies they created.
4.
U
Conclusion
U
: paraphrase the argument that you presented in the introduction.
