📝 IELTS Writing Task 2: Understand the question!

💡Knowing what the question asks you to do is crucial for achieving a good score. That's why, always read your question thoroughly and cover all the points you're asked to write about. For example:

✏️The government should pay to the parents of very young children, so that one of them can stay at home and look after their children. What do you think are the pros and cons of this policy?

🔹Justify your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

🔹In this question you're asked to do two things:

▪️Write pros & cons
▪️Give examples

‼️Failing to complete one of the requirements of the task results in a lower score!

📝Tips for IELTS Writing Task 2: writing a conclusion

📍When writing a conclusion, these are what we suggest:

🔹Check the question again, because you have to make sure that you answer it properly (but briefly) in your conclusion.

🔹Also think about key words or phrases from the question that you could reuse or paraphrase.

🔹And look at your introduction again. You should make sure that the 'position' that you express in your conclusion is consistent with what you wrote in the introduction.

🔹You can also paraphrase what’s written in the introduction when writing the conclusion.
