IELTS Writing Task 2: question types
U
Here are the four types of question from
U
last week's lesson
U
:
1.
Opinion
2.
Discussion + opinion
3.
Problem + solution
4.
2-part question
Important points to remember:
1.
An 'opinion' question asks for your view,
not the views of other people, and you don't
have to give both sides of the argument. Just make your opinion
clear in the
introduction, then explain it in the rest of the essay.
2.
A 'discussion' question requires you to write about both
sides of the argument, and
you should write a similar amount for each view. If the question also
asks for your
opinion, you don't need an extra paragraph. Just make it clear in
the introduction and
conclusion which of the two views you agree with.
3.
Type 3 is easy. Simply write a paragraph explaining the problem(s) and
a paragraph
explaining the solution(s). Some questions ask about 'causes' or 'effects': these would
be part of the 'problem' paragraph.
4.
For type 4, just answer the two questions. Write one paragraph about each.

IELTS Writing Task 2: examples give you ideas
U
If you can't think
of any good ideas for an essay, try thinking about some examples
first. Plan your essay around the examples. Take this question:
Some people believe that hobbies need to be difficult to be enjoyable.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Use examples to give you ideas:
•
Make a list of some hobbies: either your own hobbies, or some typical hobbies that
you can easily write about. Label each hobby 'easy' or 'difficult'.
•
Look at your list. Is there a balance between
easy and difficult hobbies,
or is your list
one-sided? The answer to this question will give you your overall opinion.
•
Finally, write down a few reasons why each hobby is easy or difficult. Is there a
connection between the difficulty of the hobby and the enjoyment you get from it?
