Read the question. Decide what kind of essay it is - opinion, compare/contrast, problem and solution, cause and effect, or a mixture. The type of question will decide the layout and your ideas.

Step 2: Underline

Underline key vocabulary in the question and write words with the same or related meaning. This will really save you a lot of time later on. It will also help to avoid repetition of words, and will show that you understand the question.

Step 3: Get Ideas

Decide if you are for or against the idea. Usually it is best to give both sides (for and against - one paragraph each) and then to give your opinion in the conclusion. However there are other ways of laying out your essay.

Step 4: Decide Layout

You should decide on a layout. The easiest is 3773. That means four paragraphs: introduction (3 sentences) one side (7 sentences), the other side (7 sentences) and the conclusion (3 sentences). This will give you 20 sentences. An average of about 12 words each, that is 240 words. Perfect!

Step 5: Write

After you have written your plan, write your essay. Follow the steps in this website for writing the introduction, body, and conclusion. Check for fragments, run-ons and comma splices.

Introductions One easy way to write the introduction for an argument or opinion essay is to write THREE sentences:

• two about the topic

• one thesis sentence

You can write either Situation or Opinion introductions. There's not much difference between them.

• Situation Introductions

• Opinion Introductions

Situation Introductions

Write two sentences to describe the two sides of the present situation. The third sentence - the Thesis sentence - will describe what you are going do in your essay.

Sentence 1 One side of the present situation

Sentence 2 The other side of the present situation

Sentence 3 Thesis: What you are going to do in your essay

Page 5: Wr ielts writing task_2 collection 2013

Are cash incentives a good way to motivate employees?

(Some companies give their employees bonuses or cash awards for excellent work, in addition to salary. Do you think this is a good idea?)

Is Money a Good Motivator? Introductions This page has six different introductions to the above topic. As you look at them, try to decide if they are opinion or situation openings. Also look at the thesis sentences, and guess if the writer agrees or disagrees.

Intro 1

Money makes the world go round, and nowhere is this more true than in the workplace. Employers know that money is one of the best motivators. However, are bonuses or cash awards always the best way to reward employees? In this essay, I will look at some of the arguments for cash as a reward.

Page 7: Wr ielts writing task_2 collection 2013

Intro 2

Money makes the world go round, and nowhere is this more true than in the workplace. Employers know that money is one of the best motivators. However, are bonuses or cash awards always the best way to reward employees? In this essay, I will look at some of the arguments against using cash as an incentive.

Intro 2

Many people argue that cash incentives are an unfair means of motivating employees. Others love the simple, practical, down-to-earth gift of money for a job well done. I feel that while there are some circumstances where money is the best recognition for extra work, there are other times it is inappropriate.

Intro 4

Many companies give outstanding members of staff bonuses for good work. I firmly believe that this is demeaning, trivializing, and bad for morale.

Intro 5

People are motivated by different things. Some employees have financial goals, others have professional goals, and others have personal goals. The same incentives cannot work for all. This essay outlines some of the reasons why cash is not always a suitable motivator for excellent employees.

Intro 6

The primary reason why people have to work is because of money. Employers know this, and many companies reward outstanding employees with bonuses and cash rewards. In this essay, I will show that most people are motivated by money, and cash is a fair and effective way for management to show appreciation to hardworking staff.

Who should protect the environment - individuals or governments?

Page 8: Wr ielts writing task_2 collection 2013

Protecting the Environment: Who is Responsible? Intro 1

Today we live in a global consumer society. People across the world purchase, use, and dispose of a huge variety of products which make our lives easier and more comfortable. However, the result of this is massive damage to our environment. This essay will examine how authorities and individuals need to work together to protect our resources and our planet.

Intro 2

What can one individual do to protect the environment? Very little, it may seem, especially compared to the power of governments and huge industrial companies. However, working together with dozens, hundreds, or millions of other people, we can influence and change policies which are destroying our environment. This essay will discuss ways in which individuals can take responsibility for their world.

Intro 3

The world is an increasingly interlinked place. Huge multinational corporations trade across the planet. Countries are joining together in vast economic zones and creating enormous markets. These powerful corporations and groups increase trade and movement and have the capacity to dominate global politics and economy. In this essay I will discuss how the individual is becoming powerless to change his world.

Intro 4

The only way to protect the environment is for individuals to take responsibility for their own lifestyle and to force their governments to implement good environmental policies.

Some companies reward employees for exceptional work by giving them extra money.

Is this a good way of encouraging employees to work hard?

Money as a Motivator: Ideas Ideas You need at least three or four ideas to support whatever point of view you come up with.

Page 9: Wr ielts writing task_2 collection 2013

Money awards are effective;

1. Money motivates people, and extra money motivates people to work extra

2. Employees compete to raise productivity or standards

3. It is not always possible to promote people, so money is a simple way to reward workers

4. Money is acceptable for all workers - some may not appreciate a particular present, or some gifts may be insulting

Money is only sometimes effective, or sometimes does not work:

1. If employees are highly paid, money may not be sufficient. They may prefer other benefits, such as an award ceremony or dinner, a club membership, a travel ticket, a car, a window office, etc

2. Money may set employees against each other, leading to conflict in the office

3. It may be difficult to determine the standard or basis for the decision to award the employee

4. Employees may feel forced to compete

Money is not effective:

1. Employees work for a salary - they do not want to perform like circus animals if paid more

2. Money trivializes work, which for many professional employees should be its own reward

3. The amount may not bear relation to what the employee does

4. If the employer finds it motivating to award money, perhaps the salaries are too low

5. There are many other ways to motivate employees

Are cash awards a good way to motivate employees?

Money - A Good Motivator? Layout You can 35553 Layouts

A. Disagree only and give three or four very full reasons with examples and/or supporting information in three paragraphs

B. Agree only and give three or four very full reasons with examples and/or supporting information in three paragraphs

3773 Layouts

Page 10: Wr ielts writing task_2 collection 2013

C. Agree in one paragraph and disagree in another, or vice versa. You need three reasons and examples in each in each paragraph (two long paragraphs)

D. Look at the problem from two or three perspectives: the employer's, the workers', the moral aspects, the productivity concerns, etc. (two or three paragraphs)

E. Examine the effects of cash awards in half of your essay, and other types of motivation in the second half, or vice versa (two long paragraphs)

Thesis Sentence A thesis statement is a sentence (or two) that states what you are going to do in your essay. It is a kind of signpost or map that shows the reader what direction you will take. It usually comes at the end of the Introduction.

Page 11: Wr ielts writing task_2 collection 2013

In this essay, I will outline the arguments for and against sex education in schools.

In this essay, I will examine some reasons for the growth of the tourism industry.

You can leave out "I."

This essay looks at ideas in favour of and against early marriage.

This essay will discuss the benefits of having universal free health care.

Show how many parts your essay will have

Sometimes the reader can tell which paragraphs will follow the thesis statement. I am going to analyse the effects of drugs on the individual, the family, and society.

In an essay with the thesis statement above, there will clearly be three parts - one on the effects of drugs on the individual, one part with the effects on the family, and another with the effects on society.

Be Strong

Sometimes you don't need a "will" or "going to". Your thesis statement is so strong that it is clear what your opinion is.

Beating children brutalizes parents, damages the parent-child relationship, and is completely unnecessary.

In an essay with the thesis statement above, there will clearly be three parts - one on the effects of corporal punishment on parents, one part with the effects relationship, and another which claims that beating is not needed.

Words to use in the thesis sentence

analyze, look at, examine, discuss, outline, consider, describe

The Body Two words: Use Paragraphs! Students who don't have paragraphs fail! The body of the essay should ALWAYS be divided into paragraphs. Never write just one long paragraph. Why?

Page 12: Wr ielts writing task_2 collection 2013

• The white space makes your essay easier to read.

• Having paragraphs shows that you have (probably) put related ideas together.

How many paragraphs in the body? Either two paragraphs (3773) or three (35553).

When do I use 3773 or 35553 layouts?

When do I use two paragraphs or three paragraphs in the body? When do I use 3773 or 35553? It depends on your ideas.

Use TWO paragraphs (3773) if you are giving both sides of the argument or situation - one paragraph for, and one against (or the opposite).

Use THREE paragraphs if you are only giving one side.

So... 3773 3773 35553 35553

Use TWO paragraphs (3773) to agree in one paragraph and then disagree in the second paragraph.

Use TWO paragraphs (3773) to disagree in one paragraph and then agree in the second paragraph.

Use THREE paragraphs (35553) if you are agreeing in all three paragraphs.

Use THREE paragraphs (35553) if you are disagreeing in all three paragraphs.

Page 13: Wr ielts writing task_2 collection 2013

Finally, even if you are completely confused and your ideas are all mixed up, you should still make a paragraph. Just skip a line somewhere. Your essay will be easier to read.

What Makes a Body Look Good? Paragraphs, that's the answer! If your paragraph is in good shape, your body will look good and feel good. Here's what you need to have in a body paragraph.

Topic Sentence

Argument or Reason 1

Example, Explanation, or supporting detail

Argument or Reason 2

Example, Explanation, or supporting detail

Argument or Reason 3 (Three is a magic number. Always aim to have 3 ideas.)

Example, Explanation, or supporting detail

Paragraph summary (optional)

Let's look at an example. Is Education Being Devalued?

Topic Sentence People have several arguments against the need for degrees.

Argument or Reason 1 They say that having so many graduates devalues a degree.

Example, Explanation, or supporting detail

People lose respect for the degree holder.

Argument or Reason 2 It is also claimed that education has become a rat race,...

Example, Explanation, or supporting detail

...since graduates have to compete for jobs even after years of studying.

Argument or Reason 3 Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to

Page 14: Wr ielts writing task_2 collection 2013

learners becoming inflexible.

Example, Explanation, or supporting detail

By that I mean that they know a lot about one narrow subject, but are unable to apply their skills.

Example, Explanation, or supporting detail (You can have one, two, or even more of these for every idea)

Employers, on the other hand, prefer more flexible and adaptable workers.

People have several arguments against the need for degrees. They say that having so many graduates devalues a degree. People lose respect for the degree holder. It is also claimed that education has become a rat race, since graduates have to compete for jobs even after years of studying. Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to learners becoming inflexible. By that I mean that they know a lot about one narrow subject, but are unable to apply their skills. Employers, on the other hand, prefer more flexible and adaptable workers.

Conclusion The conclusion is the end of the essay. It is the last part of the essay and it is the part that the reader may remember most. It should be clear and avoid confusing the reader. The reader expects the conclusion to do some or all of the following

• rephrase the question

• summarize the main ideas

• give your opinion, if you haven't given it already

• look to the future (say what will happen if the situation continues or changes)

Page 15: Wr ielts writing task_2 collection 2013

The reader DOES NOT expect new information in the conclusion. Never add a new idea just because you have thought of it at the end! You must do all of this in just three or four sentences!

Vocabulary is Important

The conclusion is very similar to the introduction. However, you should avoid repeating the same words. This is why a few minutes spent at the start of the exam writing down synonyms (words with the same meaning) and related words is very helpful. After all, if you only have a 250-word essay but use the same word 10 times, this will not show the examiner what you know

Wrapping Paper

Another way to look at the Introduction and the Conclusion is to think about gift wrapping paper. Your intro and conclusion wrap around your essay like a piece of bright paper "wraps" a present. They are not the main part of the essay, but they do make your essay look good. Your conclusion 'wraps' up the essay. We don't put something valuable, like money or gold, hidden in the wrapping paper, so don't put new information or important ideas in the conclusion.

Conclusions A good conclusion will

• rephrase the question

• summarize the main ideas

• give your opinion, if you haven't given it already

• look to the future (say what will happen if the situation continues or changes)

but will • NEVER add new information

Should we test products on animals?

I agree that we need to make sure that animals who are used for testing new products have the minimum of suffering. However, I am convinced that animal testing is necessary, and that it will continue to benefit humans in new and wonderful ways.

Should we beat children?

In conclusion, physical punishment can be a useful method of discipline. However it should be the last choice for parents. If we want to build a world with less violence we must begin at home, and we must teach our children to be responsible.

Page 16: Wr ielts writing task_2 collection 2013

Is education important?

In conclusion, although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of education, I feel strongly that the country can only progress if all its people are educated to the maximum of their ability.

Who are the better parents - men or women?

I think this is not an either/or question. Both men and women have strengths and skills that are important for children's psychological growth. We need to ensure that both parents play an important role in the family in order to give children a good start in life.

Who learns quicker - adults or children?

Finally, I feel that we cannot generalize about children or adults being better learners. It depends on the situation and the motivation of the person, and the level of enthusiasm he or she has for learning.

Should dangerous sports be banned?

In summary, our society would be healthier if more people took part in sports of all kinds. We should continue to try to prevent accidents and injuries. However, we should also ensure that sports are challenging, exciting, and, above all, fun.

6. Environment_________________________________________________________________________

Global Warming

Gases such as carbon dioxide trap heat from the sun.

This causes global temperatures to rise.

This process is known as the greenhouse effect.

Human activity is a major factor in the rise of the greenhouse gases.

Factories and vehicles produce emissions and exhaust fumes.

Many developing countries are becoming industrialised.

The number of cars on our streets is growing.

Cheap air travel is allowing more people to fly.

Effects of Global Warming

Global warming will have a significant impact on our planet.

Rising temperatures will cause melting of the polar ice caps.

Sea levels will rise.

We can expect more extreme weather conditions.

Flooding and droughts may become more common.

Impact of Humans on the Environment

The increasing world population is putting pressure on natural resources.

Fossil fuels like oil and gas are running out.

We are destroying wildlife habitats.

We have cut down enormous areas of rainforest.

This has led to the extinction of many species of animals and plants.

Solutions to Environment Problems

Governments could introduce laws to limit emissions from factories.

They should invest in renewable energy from solar, wind or water power.

They could impose “green taxes” on drivers and airline companies.

Government campaigns should promote recycling.

Page 36: Wr ielts writing task_2 collection 2013

Natural areas and wild animals should be protected.

Individuals should also try to be greener.

We should take fewer flights abroad for holidays.

We should take public transport rather than driving.

We should choose products with less packaging.

We should recycle as much as possible.

Waste / Rubbish

The amount of waste we produce has increased.

This problem is a result of our consumer culture.

Products are not made to last.

If something breaks, we throw it away and buy a new one.

Advertisers encourage us to buy the newest fashions.

Packaging is an important part of selling.

Most foods are sold in non-biodegradable plastic packaging.

The amount of household waste is growing.

This waste ends up in landfill sites.

Litter

People do not think about the consequences of dropping rubbish.

They assume that somebody is paid to clean the streets.

Plastic packaging does not break down easily.

Most of the litter seen on streets is fast food packaging.

Recycling and Other Solutions

Companies should make goods that last longer.

They should not use so much packaging.

Governments should be stricter about waste produced by companies.

They should put legal limits on packaging.

Consumers should avoid buying over-packaged products.

We should recycle and reuse useful materials.

There are collection banks for glass, paper and plastic bottles.

Page 37: Wr ielts writing task_2 collection 2013

Households can use several rubbish bins to separate waste.

Recycling saves energy and raw materials.

Nuclear Power: Positives

There are several benefits to building more nuclear power stations.

Fossil fuels like oil and gas are running out.

Nuclear power is a sustainable energy source.

It can be used to produce electricity without wasting natural resources.

It could replace the use of natural resources like coal, oil or gas.

Nuclear power stations are cleaner than fossil fuel power stations.

They could help to reduce carbon emissions that cause global warming.

The risks of accidents are being reduced.

Nuclear Power: Negatives

Opponents of nuclear power worry about the safety of power stations.

The building of new nuclear power stations is unpopular.

Nobody wants to live near one.

Nuclear waste disposal is a significant problem.

There is currently no way to decontaminate radioactive material.

People worry that terrorists could steal radioactive materials.

It is safer to produce energy from solar, wind or water power.

Band 6 There are quite a lot of ideas and while some of these are supported better than others, there is an overall coherence to the answer. The  introduction  is perhaps  slightly  long  and more time could have  been devoted  to  answering the  question. The  answer  is  fairly easy  to  follow  and  there  is  good  punctuation.  Organisational  devices  are  evident  although  some  areas  of  the  answer  become unclear and would benefit from more accurate use of connectives. There are some errors in the structures but there is also evidence of the production of complex sentence forms. Grammatical errors interfere slightly with comprehension.

Band 5 Although the script contains some good arguments, these are presented using poor structures and the answer is not very coherent. The candidate has a clear point of view but not all the supporting arguments are  linked together well and sometimes ideas are left unfinished. There is quite a lot of relevant vocabulary but this is not used skilfully and sentences often have words missing or lapse into different styles. The answer is spoilt by grammatical errors and poor expression.

Band 7 The answer is well­written and contains some good arguments. It does tend to repeat these arguments but the writer’s point of view remains clear throughout. The message is easy to follow and ideas are arranged well with good use of cohesive devices. There are minor problems with  coherence and at times the expression  is clumsy and  imprecise. There  is a wide  range of structures that are well handled with only small problems in the use of vocabulary, mainly in the areas of spelling and word choice.

Study English - IELTS Preparation is a series of 26 units of work based on video interviews with native speakers of English. Speakers are mostly specialists on topics with relevance to IELTS. The video footage is drawn from science, education and current affairs programmes aired on ABC television. A key feature of this series is its authentic English usage - unscripted language in specific contexts. English learners work closely with both the spoken and written forms, and experience the subtleties and uses of each form simultaneously. The presenter, while talking through the language features addressed in each episode, involves the participant in the video classroom through listening cues, explanations, tasks and activities. Each unit is based on a bite-sized 10-minute episode, and uses spoken language to demonstrate aspects of English usage such as grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. All key skill areas are addressed, including Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The episodes are independent of each other and can be worked through in any order. The episodes draw from a wide range of themes: environment, technology, tourism, medicine, architecture, business and commerce, finance, law, and the sciences - archaeology, psychology, biology and chemistry. A variety of activities are introduced in the video segments. These activities focus on developing both the spoken and written forms of the language, improving grammatical accuracy and listening skills, expressing ideas, building vocabulary and other aspects of academic English. Each unit features Tips, Study Notes and Activities. These materials consolidate language features addressed in the television episodes. Practice

activities include multiply choice, gap fill, matching and other tasks. Ideal for self-study, a useful addition to your resource centre; may also be used in class.
