Task 1 is different in both academic and general modules, but task 2 is the same in both modules, and you will be given the same questions. But do you know what questions are given in Task 2 and how you should answer them? In this article, we will discuss Writing Task 2 and answer these questions. So stay with us.
Introduction
As we said, in writing task 2, the questions in both general and academic modules are the same. In writing task two, you have to write an essay about the topic given in the question. This essay should be about 250 words long, and you should follow the punctuation marks to get the grade you want. Don’t forget that your time to answer these questions is about 40 minutes. This is a good time to answer the writing task 2 questions. But you have to plan for it and don’t waste your time on marginal issues.
Task 2 is one of the most important parts of the IELTS test because it accounts for two-thirds of the total writing score. So you have to practice a lot for that.
Topics of writing task 2

Environment, job, technology, family issues, political issues, industry,…
You should have reasonable general knowledge about these topics to write a few lines about any given topic.
How to write a good essay
Now that you are familiar with the topics of the questions, you may ask how we can write a good essay. As we said above, you will be given about 40 minutes. You should not waste these 40 minutes. You should have a plan for every minute of it.
Thinking about your topic for a few minutes before starting anything and writing down its keywords is better. Then brainstorm about them. Take a note about everything you want to write.
