IELTS WRITING TASK 2

INTRODUCTION PRACTICE

Write the Introduction for the following questions (you should write on
your notebook so I can mark your work easier):
1. It is a waste of time for high-school students to study literature (e.g novels
and poetry) that was written many years ago. To what extent do you agree or
disagree with this statement?

2. Studies show that crime rates are lower among those with educational
degrees. Therefore, the best way to reduce the crime rate is to educate criminals
while they are still in prison. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
3. The most important element of a person’s life is his or her work. Without a
satisfying career, life is meaningless. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
4. It is not necessary to travel to other places to learn about other cultures. We
can learn from books, films and internet. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?
5. Today, the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of
advertising and not the real needs of the society in which they are sold. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?
6. Some educationalists say that every child should be taught how to play a
musical instrument. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
7. Some people believe that reading stories from a book is better than watching
TV or playing computer games for children. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?
8. In the past, many male leaders have led our society to conflicts and violence.
The world would be better governed and more peaceful if it was ruled by
woman. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
9. Internet technology means people do not need to travel to foreign countries
to understand how others live. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
10. Students should be taught academic knowledge so that they can pass
exams, and skills such as cooking or dressing should not be taught. To what
extent do you agree/disagree?
