Common trap
Only writing screen time is bad without age, content, and parental control.
- Whether age and use are clear
- Whether risk is specific
- Whether parent or school responsibility is limited
Task 2 question guide
Children screen-time prompts need learning use and entertainment use separated.
This IELTS Task 2 question should not start with memorising a model essay. First decide who the prompt concerns, what it compares, and whether it asks for cause, evaluation, or trade-off.
Diagnose the prompt before writing the full essay.
Diagnostic evidence
If the example only says phones make children lazy, development is usually weak.
What to ask while reading the prompt
First decide whether the prompt asks about learning, attention, social skills, or physical health.
What to revise after checking
Write one screen chain: content type -> child behaviour -> learning or health result.

Children topic
IELTS Task 2 children topic 常把 children 写得太大。先诊断年龄段、责任主体和行为变化。年龄段决定原因和例子。
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。
Technology topic
IELTS Task 2 technology topic 容易写成泛泛的 modern life。先诊断立场、对象和例子是否贴题。用自己的原文逐项检查，并把结论变成一次具体重写。
Screen time vague example
示范 screen time essay 如何把 phones are bad 改成可证明的学习或健康风险。检查重点：内容类型是否明确、行为变化是否具体、后果是否扣题。
City congestion car use
城市拥堵和私家车题要先诊断限制政策、个人自由和可替代出行方式。检查重点：限制对象是否明确、替代方案是否真实、公平性是否处理。只说 ban cars，却不处理没有替代交通的人。
City life and health
City life and health 题要诊断 pollution、stress、sedentary lifestyle、public transport 和 urban planning。
Climate change responsibility
气候变化政府和个人责任题要先诊断 action scale、policy power 和 personal behaviour。先做题目诊断，再写完整作文。
