IELTS Academic Writing Task 2

IELTS Writing Task 2 requires you to write an essay of at least 250 words on a given topic. The essay must be written in a formal, academic style and should include a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. You will have 40 minutes to complete this task.

Here is an example IELTS Writing Task 2 topic and some tips for approaching it:

Topic: Some people think that technology has made our lives more complicated, while others believe that it has made our lives easier. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Approach:

1. Read the prompt carefully and identify the task you need to complete. In this case, you need to discuss both views on whether technology has made our lives more complicated or easier, and then give your opinion.
2. Plan your essay before you start writing. This will help you organize your ideas and ensure that you address all parts of the prompt. Your essay should have an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
3. In the introduction, provide some background information on the topic and clearly state your position on whether technology has made our lives more complicated or easier.
4. In the body paragraphs, discuss both views on the topic. Start by presenting the argument that technology has made our lives more complicated, using examples and evidence to support your points. Then, present the argument that technology has made our lives easier, again using examples and evidence. Make sure to use transitional words and phrases to connect your ideas and paragraphs.
5. In the conclusion, summarize the main points of your essay and restate your opinion on whether technology has made our lives more complicated or easier. You can also provide a recommendation or prediction for the future.

Remember to proofread your essay for grammar and spelling errors before submitting it.

Good luck!
