Common trap
Saying money matters, then family matters more, then both matter leaves no stable answer.
- Whether happiness is defined
- Whether the role of money is limited
- Whether the opposing side is answered
Task 2 question guide
Money and happiness prompts first need a standard for judging happiness.
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 each paragraph uses a different standard, Task Response weakens.
What to ask while reading the prompt
Choose one standard first: security, freedom, relationship, or personal growth.
What to revise after checking
Write one thesis that limits money to one happiness standard.

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。
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。
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。
Money position drift
示范 money and happiness 作文为什么从安全感写到成功再写到道德，导致立场不稳定。重写目标是选择一个 comparison standard 并贯穿全文。
Multicultural society
多元文化社会题要诊断 integration、identity、workplace diversity 和 community tension。
Museums free entry
博物馆免费入场题要诊断文化 access、运营成本和受益群体。只写 free entry helps education，却没有解释维护费用从哪里来。
News media influence
News media influence 题要诊断 public opinion、negative news、media bias 和 civic behaviour。
