Common trap
Only writing that apartments save space without addressing residents daily life.
- Whether housing pressure is specific
- Whether resident experience appears
- Whether the city result can be explained
Task 2 question guide
High-rise living prompts need the difference between space efficiency and quality of life.
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
If the essay talks only about the city and not residents, housing development is thin.
What to ask while reading the prompt
Ask whether the prompt cares more about land use, community, family life, or government planning.
What to revise after checking
Write one housing chain: limited land -> building choice -> resident experience -> city outcome.

Urbanisation topic
IELTS Task 2 urbanisation topic 容易泛写 big cities。先诊断人口迁移、住房、就业和公共服务压力。
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。
Government topic
IELTS Task 2 government topic 容易写成 government should do more。先诊断政策目标、预算取舍和结果链。
Urbanisation vague problem
示范 urbanisation essay 把城市问题写成清单时，如何缩小到住房或公共服务压力。检查重点：问题是否缩小、受影响群体是否明确、后果是否有因果链。
Early language learning
儿童早学外语题要诊断 age、motivation、cognitive load 和 cultural exposure。先做题目诊断，再写完整作文。
Living alone society
越来越多人独居题要诊断 independence、loneliness、housing cost 和 community support。
Money happiness debate
金钱和幸福题最容易立场漂移。先诊断 security、choice、relationship 等比较标准。先说钱重要，后说亲情更重要，最后又说都重要，全文没有稳定答案。
