Last Update:
IELTS Writing: to what extent do you agree?
A good way to answer this question is:
To a certain extent I agree that... However, I also think that...
By saying that you agree to a certain extent (not completely), you can now talk about both sides of the argument.
Example question:
People visiting other countries should adapt to the customs and behaviours expected there. They should not expect the host country to welcome different customs and behaviours. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
My introduction:
To a certain extent I agree that visitors to other countries should respect the culture of the host country. However, I also think that host countries should accept visitors' cultural differences.
After this introduction, you can write one paragraph about each view.
IELTS Writing Task 2: using the ebook
A few people have asked me how to use the ebook. One way is to practise writing paragraphs using the ebook ideas.
Some ideas from the ebook about the benefits of mobile phones:
• The mobile phone is the most popular gadget in today’s world.
• We can stay in touch with family, friends and colleagues wherever we are.
• Users can send text messages, surf the Internet, take photos and listen to music.
• Mobiles have also become fashion accessories.
• Mobile phones have revolutionised the way we communicate.
By linking these ideas (and adding a few things) I can write a paragraph:
The mobile phone has become the most popular gadget in today’s world. The reason for this is that it is portable and versatile. Mobile phones are now carried at all times by most people, allowing us to stay in touch with family, friends and colleagues wherever we are. Furthermore, they now have many more functions than a standard telephone; mobile phone users can send text messages, surf the Internet, take photos and listen to music, as well as making calls. Mobiles have become fashion accessories, and they have revolutionised the way we communicate.
IELTS Writing Task 2: 'online shopping' topic
This was a recent IELTS exam question:
Online shopping is increasing dramatically. How could this trend affect our environment and the kinds of jobs required?
My advice is to plan your essay with a 4-paragraph structure:
1. Introduction: topic + response (2 sentences are enough)
Introduce the topic of 'online shopping becoming more popular'. Then write that it will have a significant impact on the environment and on jobs.
2. Paragraph about the environment
Write about simple ideas e.g. people will drive less, so there will be less pollution, less destruction from the building of new roads, but perhaps more packaging.
3. Paragraph about jobs
Simple ideas e.g. many shop workers will lose their jobs, unemployment may rise, but there will be more skilled jobs in IT (computer programmers, web designers).
4. Conclusion: repeat your response
Overall opinion: online shopping may have a negative effect on employment, but it might be a good thing for the environment.
