IELTS Writing Task 2 Topic: Education

By ieltsetc on July 21, 2017 0

Task 2 – the topic of Education

Education comes up a lot in Task 2 Writing. Here are two questions that came up recently with some ideas for what you could discuss.

Remember to address the question directly and give your opinion clearly.

In the first example below, you can see that I’ve divided the categories of examples into Moral Argument, Economic Argument and Consequences. This is a useful trick if you can’t think of anything to say!

Moral arguments – there is always a Wrong and Right about any issue e.g. should education/museums etc be free so that everyone has access?

Economic arguments – someone always has to pay. Whose responsibility is it? The person who benefits? Or should the government pay for everything?

Consequence – whatever you decide on, there will be consequences. How much would the government have to pay out if education was free to everyone? Where do you draw the line? And how does that effect the way people think about their education?

Apply these 3 categories to any topic, and you will definitely come up with 3 good arguments.

Conclusions – leave the reader with something to think about. This may have to be a compromise of some sort. Always give your opinion.

I’ve got a very busy life and IELTS Academy was time-saving for me that it involves everything about IELTS in one place. Fiona is an excellent teacher with passion and kindness to all of her students. She helped me a lot with IELTS and I improved my scores significantly in a very short time. Some days I had no spare time for studying and I listened her podcasts when I was driving to work and it also helped me a lot! I strongly recommend this course to all IELTS candidates.

IELTS with Fiona reviews Ipek
The Academy gave me clear guidelines, study materials and methods to lead me into a high IELTS performance. As I have a super busy career and family life, my study time is very limited. When I first decided to take an IELTS test, I even didn't know where to start. After studying with Fiona for a while, in the first IELTS test, I got Band 8! Thank you so much for your hard work and your professionalism, Fiona!!!
