Some employers of er their employees subsidised membership of gyms and sports clubs, believing that this will make their staf healthier and thus more ef ective at work. Other employers see no benefit in doing so. Consider the arguments from both aspects of this possible debate, and reach a conclusion.

Why does the
IELTS
exam use these
ten
topics
all the time? The
IELTS
test managers believe that these
topics
are the most suited to advanced, academic discussion in the world today, and
also
that people who take
IELTS
should have a reasonable understanding and interest regarding these areas. I see that one Topic is about ‘Agriculture, ’
for example
. I know little about
this
, even in my native language. Is
this
a problem? No! Remember that in
IELTS
Speaking and Academic Writing, you are not expected to know specialised technical
words
or understand complex issues. The vocabulary expected is what a normal person can meet when reading the media, newspapers, popular websites and magazines on these subjects. Don’t worry if you think some of these
topics
seem too advanced – the vocabulary that we show you will enable you to answer questions in these areas quite easily, with some practice. Do I need to remember all of the
words
in
this
book? You should try to remember a group of
words
on each topic, and practise using them in your writing and speaking. People have different styles of memory, of course. We believe that a typical
IELTS
candidate should be able to learn and use at least
ten
new
words
and phrases for each of the
ten
topics
.
This
should make a massive difference to the strength of your
IELTS
Writing and Speaking. Will
this
book help me with the Reading and Listening
IELTS
tests? Yes, because the
ten
topics
are
also
used to formulate the Reading and Listening materials. The Reading and Listening papers will
additionally
contain some quite specialised vocabulary, but the
IELTS
tests are carefully designed so that you should be able to get a high band even if you don’t know
this
more specialised language

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
