Common trap
Only saying ads manipulate people without explaining why consumers believe or imitate them.
- Whether the advertising message is specific
- Whether consumer motive appears
- Whether social result returns to the prompt
Task 2 question guide
Advertising and spending prompts need how persuasion changes spending behaviour.
This IELTS Task 2 question does not need a memorised model essay first. The key is what the prompt compares, who should act, and what result the body paragraph must prove.
Do outline diagnosis before writing the full essay.
Diagnostic evidence
Without status, convenience, or insecurity, the spending motive is unclear.
What to ask while reading the prompt
First decide whether the prompt asks about individual responsibility, business ethics, or consumer culture.
What to revise after checking
Write one advertising chain: message -> emotion/status -> purchase choice -> social result.

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。
Task 2 outline critique
IELTS Task 2 开写前先做 outline critique，用 10 分钟检查题目回应、立场平衡、主体段证据和展开链，避免写完整篇后才发现方向偏薄。
Media topic
IELTS Task 2 media topic 容易泛写 influence。先诊断信息来源、受众和行为改变。这个观点太大，无法说明是改变消费、观点、学习还是投票。
Globalisation topic
IELTS Task 2 globalisation topic 容易写成世界变小了。先诊断文化、经济和个人选择之间的影响链。先诊断题目角度，再决定例子。
Advertising to children ban
儿童广告禁令题要诊断 persuasion、parent responsibility、business freedom 和 health impact。
Animal testing debate
Animal testing debate 题目容易写成情绪化两边。先诊断伦理标准、医学必要性和替代方案。检查重点：伦理标准是否明确、医学必要性是否被处理、替代方案是否具体。
AI and jobs
AI 和就业题要诊断 job replacement、new skills、business efficiency 和 worker protection。
