IELTS Writing Task 2 - New IELTS Essay Tasks/Topics 2022

Here are the essay tasks reported by students who have already taken IELTS this year.

The phrasing of the tasks might be different in the real exam, but it’s useful to know the topics.

We do NOT know the exact tasks and these are the questions reported by students from memory. So, the topic might be the same, but the words in the task might be different. UBI = Universal Basic Income The government should give each citizen a basic income so that they have enough money to live on, even if they are unemployed. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Robots/Technology Today different types of robots are being developed which can serve as friends, help at work and at home. Is this a positive or negative development? OR Information technology is changing many aspects of our lives and now dominates our home, leisure, and work activities. Do the advantages of information technology outweigh the drawbacks? Overweight Children In many countries, children are becoming overweight and unhealthy. Some people think that the government should be responsible for solving this problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Social Media Social media enable people to keep in touch with each other and learn about the news. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? Education Some people believe that the best way to succeed in life is to get higher education/a university degree, while others disagree and say that it is no longer true today. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Many people argue that in order to improve educational quality, high school students should be encouraged to question and offer criticisms on their teachers. Others think this will lead to a loss of respect and discipline in the classroom. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Some people believe that schools should choose students according to their academic abilities. Others think that it is better to have students with different abilities studying together. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Crime Some people believe that the best way to reduce crime is to educate prisoners so that they can find a job after they are released. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Safety More and more people do not feel safe when they leave home. Why is this? What could be done to address this issue? Philosophical Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others, however, think that change is always good. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Some people think that enjoying the present is more important than planning for the future. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

About The Elderly Some believe that younger family members should be legally responsible for supporting older family members when they become physically, mentally and financially unable to look after themselves. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Many doctors recommend that older people should exercise regularly, but most patients do not follow an exercise routine. Why do you think this happens? How can people be encouraged to exercise regularly? Modern World In the 20th century, contact between different parts of the world has developed rapidly thanks to air travel and telecommunications. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages? Family (or serious? Are you really asking me about this?) Today family members eat fewer meals together. Why is this? Is this a positive or negative trend?

IELTS Writing Tips | Crack IELTS writing Section (2022 Guide)

Avoid repetition and embrace punctuation  

Lexical resource is one of the 4 criteria that the IELTS uses to grade your essay, the other 3 being – task achievement, cohesion and grammatical range & accuracy. Lexical resource deals with correct use of punctuation, spelling accuracy, word formation, and range of vocabulary. Add some flair to your language and avoid dull, repetitive usage of words, for the latter causes the examiner to think that you have a poor knowledge of the language. 

 Build your General Knowledge and peruse IELTS Essay topics:

  Here is a useful link that contains a lot of IELTS Essay topics. These will ensure that you have a repository of information to draw from when you are actually writing the exam. It is always a good idea to read newspapers, magazines and books. They will build your General Knowledge and your vocabulary as well. You will also a get a sense of grammatical intuition, where you just know when a sentence feels off. 

Complete all your tasks  

Seriously, there is no elaboration required for this one. Completing all your tasks is crucial and removes chances of penalization on these grounds. 

Practice Tests  

This one is a no-brainer. You need to practice and write essay beforehand, in order to function smoothly during the actual IELTS. Here’s a link for one of the best IELTS Practice Tests out there. It’s free! Practice will ensure that you assess your strengths and weaknesses, and allow you to hone your writing abilities effectively. 

More does not mean better  

Do not digress or ramble on. Stick to the main points, be focused and stay relevant in your writing

The prompt is everything

 Stick to the confines of the prompt. Whatever it says is sacrosanct. It will serve as a guiding hand for your essay if you practice and learn to use it well. 

 Task 2 vs Task 1

 Obviously, Task 2 is more important in terms of your Final Writing Band Score. If you want to get Band 9 in IELTS Writing, you need to practice for both tasks. One is for 20 minutes and of a different type, while the other type is for 40 minutes. Go back and read our section on the 2 tasks and why the distinction should matter in your preparation.

See where you stand

Take the ielts practice test, ielts writing time management.

We’ve covered a lot of useful IELTS Writing Tips up above. Let’s look at time management when it comes to this section.

This structure should serve as a template for your essay writing. Ensure that you stick to it during practice. You can make a few tweaks as per your convenience, but remember, it is always better to finish early and go through your essay in the remaining time. 

Inconsistencies can be corrected; extra points can be added and you can read your essay as a reader instead of a writer in order to gain some clarity.

IELTS Writing Task 1

Report Plan

Paraphrase: Charts illustrate; the number of undergraduates; financial support by the UK government from 1991 to 2001. 

Overview/Summary: 1) Increase of Undergraduates over the years. 2) Student grants provided by the government.

Paragraph 3: Undergraduate’s increase over the years. Give figures. 

Paragraph 4: Reverse trend in the student grants funded by the UK government. Give figures. 

Paragraph 5: Overall financial background of the Undergraduates at University in 1991. 

Sample Answer

The bar chart and line graph illustrate the total number of Undergraduates at University and financial support offered by the UK government between the year 1991 and 2001. The pie chart depicts the financial situation of their families in 1991. 

We can observe that the number of Undergraduates gradually increased and peaked in 1999. In contrast, there was a downward trend in the student grants offered by the UK government. Interestingly, a majority of the Undergraduates belonged to middle-class families. 

[do_widget id=custom_html-24]

In 1991, about 1.1 million students pursued UG courses in the UK university. There was a significant increase in 1993 with 1.4 students which rose to around 1.6 million in 1995 followed by 1.65 million in 1997 before peaking at 2.1 million in the next two years. However in 2001, the number had witnessed a drop to 2 million respectively.

[do_widget id=custom_html-25]

Contrastingly , a reverse trend was seen in the student grants offered by the UK government, which plummeted from more than 6,500 pounds in 1991 to 4,900 pounds in 1995. Since then, each student was financed with a stable amount of 4,700 pounds annually till 2001. 

As far as the financial background of the student’s families in 1991 is concerned , the proportion of Undergraduates hailing from middle-class families was 62%, approximately which was twice as much of Undergraduates belonging to high-income families. In contrast, 8% of the students were from low-income families. 

[do_widget id=custom_html-47]

IELTS Writing Task 2

In some countries, a lot of children have health issues and are becoming overweight. Some people think that the government should be responsible for solving this problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is true that children in some parts of the world are becoming obese and unhealthy. I agree with the role of the government in resolving this vexing issue . However, I also believe that we also should emphasize the role of parenting and school settings .

Childhood obesity and children’s health problems should be partly blamed on authority. We cannot deny the fact that overweight children are of high chance to be vulnerable to numerous serious diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, which poses a dire threat to the national growth of any country as they are the future’s human resources. As a result, the authority should be accountable for mitigating this problem . Take China as a good example. The governing body has been taking action to lower the obesity rate among children by organizing boot camps where children are physically trained to lose weight and take up a daily healthy habit . This is because China’s political activists are scared of the scenario that these overweight children will not be able to meet the physical demand to join the army.

Besides the governmental role, parents and schools are also liable for their children’s good health. Regarding the former, working parents nowadays tend to devote virtually their whole time to work  to ensure material well-being, which means that they may spend less time carefully taking care of their children’s diet. Therefore, without supervision, children might eat unhealthy food or lead a sedentary lifestyle . This explains why close parental care and control are crucial in ensuring children’s balanced diet and healthy lifestyle . In terms of the role of education in teaching children about healthy living, some schools are inclined to place emphasis on theoretical subjects as math and literature and neglect the importance of physical education, which reduces their students’ workout frequency. School efforts to promote a healthy diet and engage students in physical exercises are irreplaceable in tackling the problem of child obesity.

In conclusion, the government, parents, and schools should all shoulder the responsibility for protecting their children from obesity and unhealthy lifestyles.

Essay Topic

If children behave badly their parents should take responsibility and also be punished?do you agree or disagree?

Sample Answer

In this contemporary era, some people think that if kids’ behaviour is not good, then their parents should be held responsible and punished. While I argue to some extent that parents are responsible, I am not in solidarity with the view of punishing the parents for children’s misdeeds.

To commence with, the main reason why parents are responsible is that they do not focus on children’s moral education. To explain it, parents should teach their offspring about moral values for their child’s betterment. Also, parents should not be disrespectful and abusive to their children, as it significantly impacts individuals’ mindsets. For instance, there was a survey on “Times Now News Channel” parents who care about their kids and teach them moral values, their children behave well with others. As a result, parents must give their children moral and better life lessons because it is beneficial for them in the long term.

On the contrary, parents are not always responsible for the upbringing of their children. To explain, parents do not know about their children, what they do at school and outside their homes. Also, they need to get information about their children’s friend circle. For example, parents are usually busy with their work. They do not know what their child is doing when they are with their friends. Hence, punishing them is an imprudent approach.

In conclusion, although I agree to some extent that parents are responsible, parents are the best decision-makers for their offspring; therefore, the blame should not go to them constantly because they are not with all the time with their children.

People should keep all the money they earn and should not pay taxes to the state. Do you agree or disagree?

Essay topic : (Reported on 23rd April)

Some people say that art subjects such as music, drama and creative writing are an essential part of education, and every school should include them in its syllabus.

Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give your opinion and examples from your own experience.

Model Answer

A few people assert that art subjects such as music, drama, and creative writing are an essential part of education, and every school should include them in its syllabus. I agree with this statement. Art helps in the growth of the creative faculties of the brain, like the frontal cortex and hippocampus. Moreover, art helps children to destress after long hours of study.

Art subjects such as music, drama and creative writing are essential part of education. Many neurological studies were conducted on children to learn about the benefits of art education. Many scientists found that learning to play a new instrument helps the brain’s fostering, and the synapses of neurons get strengthened. Creative writing causes the parietal-temporal region of the brain to get activated, thus strengthening the frontal cortex. For example, many studies have depicted that students or children who participate in various creative subjects have more problem-solving capabilities than their counterparts. They try to solve problems with an optimistic viewpoint, and these children become more confident than others.

Moreover, art helps children to destress. Hours of analytical learning in schools like mathematics, science and social studies can cause tiredness of the brain. Children feel joyful, contented and happy while learning to play a new instrument or act in a drama or paint or write something creatively. The children feel relaxed and at ease while doing something from the art subject. A recent study has revealed that art decreases cortisol, a stress hormone in students. For example, those schools that have embedded art subjects in their syllabus have seen more productivity in their students. Students of such schools participate more actively in class and are more attentive. They even perform well while answering the questions of the teachers.

So, it is not wrong to say that art subjects such as creative writing, music and drama should be an integral part of the school curriculum.

Essay topic : (Reported on 21st April)

Some people say that dangerous sports should be banned since they are deadly and life-threatening.

Do you agree or disagree with this viewpoint?

A few individuals opine that dangerous physical activities such as sky diving and skiing are risky, and higher authorities must proscribe them. Even though violent sports help people keep fit, I completely agree that they should be prohibited because it has increased the death rate and is for mere thrill-seekers.

One of the primary reasons some people assert that individuals must refrain from participating in adrenaline-raising sports is the increased death toll for its partakers. When athletes take part in training sessions or competitions, they undergo rigorous exercises in an unfriendly environment, which may lead to serious health issues such as broken bones or muscular dystrophy. During treatment, most sports stars may become disabled for life or death. For example, according to National Geographic statistics, in 2017, in the US, more than 150 skiers were buried in avalanches, although most of them were highly skilled. Thus, adventurous sports cause the death of many enthusiasts who venture into them.

Furthermore, people who are involved in dangerous sports are mere thrill-seekers. In other words, professionals tend to exhibit exquisite talents and unique movements to thrill their audience and gain cheap popularity at the expense of their safety. As a result, sports stars get unmatched excitement for themselves from their performances, which are meaningless to society. For instance, a skydiver, James Owen, confessed in an interview with a national geographic reporter that he went into skydiving because of the profound feeling of excitement that he derives from it.

In conclusion, although partakers of extreme sports are keen on continuing, I am in solidarity with the view that there should be a ban on them because of the physical risk involved and the increased incidence of mortality.

29 June 2024, IELTS Exam, Writing Task 2, Evening Slot, INDIA

Q. Some college freshmen find that the courses they choose are not suitable for them. What are the causes of this? What can be done to solve the problem? Choosing modules is one of the most important decisions a college freshman can make, as it will have a long-term impact on their personal and professional life. However, some of them face a dilemma in the decision making process. In this essay, we will analyze the cause and suggest some possible solutions to the problem.

Many students hesitate or make poor choices when choosing what they really want to study simply because their decisions are based on emotions or a very limited set of criteria. They may follow their friends or persuade their parents to take certain courses without understanding their true needs; they can focus on less important aspects such as degree of difficulty of study, personal development, etc. For example, a large number of students consider employability as the only criterion when choosing modules. With the current financial crisis caused by the economic downturn, it is logical to take into account job prospects, but those choosing should also weigh the pros and cons when making their final decisions, taking into account the larger number of factors involved.

To participate in the relevant modules, first-year students need to equip themselves with self-awareness in selection, which entails recognizing their interests, personality traits, abilities and desires on their own. The more overlap between these aspects, the more satisfying there is in future research. As a result, they should consider that labor market demands are always changing over time, meaning that it is definitely not the only factor influencing decision making. It is the ability to adapt to interests and growth that allows someone to stand out in their career. For this reason, the key to making wise choices must depend on the ability to encourage students to remain curious, value diversity of opinion, think critically, and communicate effectively. This way, students will not only enjoy learning these lessons, but will also be able to find the right path in their future career if they make the right choices.

In conclusion, freshmen who are well-informed and self-aware are more likely to be satisfied with their choices.
