Common risk
Listing two advantages and two disadvantages without comparing severity, scope, or long-term impact makes outweigh hard to answer.
- Whether outweigh is answered
- Whether pros and cons use the same scale
- Whether conclusion makes a trade-off
Task 2 question type page
Advantages-disadvantages questions need a comparison scale first.
Identify where the writing step breaks first, then choose the next revision step. No model essay memorisation, and no generic correction list.
Diagnose first, then rewrite; repair one step before writing the next essay.
Diagnostic evidence
If the conclusion only repeats that both sides exist, the body has not built a trade-off judgement.
What to confirm before writing
Choose one comparison scale first: number of people affected, long-term effect, cost, or fairness.
What to revise after checking
Compare one advantage and one disadvantage under the same scale.

按正在写的题目查找雅思写作指南：小作文图型、overview 与数据取舍，大作文题型、立场与主体段展开，以及批改后的同题重写步骤。每篇指南都要求你回到自己的作文验证一个具体改动。
Writing checker
使用 IELTS Writing checker 时，分数之外还要看主卡分点。更有用的是找出 Task Response、Coherence、Lexical Resource 或 Grammar 中最影响训练的主卡分点。
Task 2 checker
IELTS Task 2 essay checker 应结合题目和作文检查回应覆盖、立场、功能与论证链，语法和高级词替换放在后面。对照 TR、CC、LR 和 GRA 找出最影响目标分的一项，引用原文证据，再把问题收窄成一个 reason、example 或 consequence 的段落重写，比较修改前后是否更完整。
Advantages
IELTS Task 2 advantages and disadvantages 题要在列出好处和坏处之后，再做权衡。先判断是否要求 outweigh，再用影响范围、严重程度、持续时间或受益群体建立评价尺度。检查主体段的理由、例子、结果与结论是否完成权重判断；最后把最薄弱的一段收窄成可验证的重写目标，并对照原文证据。
Task 2 question types
IELTS Task 2 question types 要区分 opinion、discussion、problem solution 和 advantages disadvantages 的回答要求。
Money topic
IELTS Task 2 money topic 容易从 happiness 写到 success 再写到 consumerism。先诊断立场和比较标准。
Agree/disagree
IELTS Task 2 agree or disagree 题最常见的问题是立场范围模糊，写到中途开始摇摆；表达同意的句式反而是小事。立场越早清楚，展开越容易稳定。
Task 2 AI feedback
IELTS Task 2 AI feedback 应先判断立场、题目回应和主体段展开，而不是只改语法。只修 grammar 会让句子更顺，但可能没有修 Task Response。
Task 2 position
IELTS Task 2 清晰立场从开头的同意或反对开始，再让 thesis、topic sentence、主体段理由和 conclusion 持续回答同一问题。通过 agree/disagree、discussion 与双问题题型识别立场漂移、范围过大或让步失控的原文证据，再把问题收窄成一次可检查的开头或段落重写。
