Common trap
Art preserves culture needs to explain why it deserves public funding rather than private spending.
Task 2 question
For government spending on arts, the issue is budget priority, not whether art is good.
A common mistake is praising art for a whole paragraph. The real answer is how public money is prioritised among arts, health, education, or infrastructure.
Public-budget essays need opportunity cost.
Diagnostic evidence
If alternative public needs are absent, the budget argument is usually incomplete.
Pre-draft outline check
First decide whether you support full funding, limited funding, or private sponsorship, then explain priority.
What to revise after checking
Rewrite one body paragraph so it includes both social value and opportunity cost.
- Whether the budget choice is clear
- Whether social value is specific
- Whether opportunity cost appears

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。
