Diagnostic evidence
Without low-income families or public schools, fairness argument becomes weak.
Task 2 question guide
Private-school funding prompts need public money and fairness clarified.
This IELTS Task 2 question should not start with a model essay. First check 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.
Common trap
Only writing parents pay tax too does not answer public-resource priority.
What to revise after checking
Write one funding chain: public money -> target group -> access result -> fairness judgment.
What to ask while reading the prompt
First decide whether the prompt asks about equality, choice, quality, or government responsibility.
- Whether public-money target is clear
- Whether fairness standard is stable
- Whether the opposite side is answered

Task 2 checker
IELTS Task 2 essay checker 应结合题目和作文检查回应覆盖、立场、功能与论证链，语法和高级词替换放在后面。对照 TR、CC、LR 和 GRA 找出最影响目标分的一项，引用原文证据，再把问题收窄成一个 reason、example 或 consequence 的段落重写，比较修改前后是否更完整。
Education topic
IELTS Task 2 education topic 常见问题在于 reason、example 和 consequence 还要连成可评分的论证，观点往往是有的。
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。
Task Response
IELTS Task Response 的核心是完整回应命令词、保持清楚一致的立场，并把观点展开到可以评估，观点数量是其次。先拆出题目要求与对象，再检查 thesis、段落主旨、理由、例子和结果是否共同回答问题。引用原文定位遗漏或薄弱链条，把最主要的一处改成下一版可验证的段落重写目标，并记录前后证据。
Professional athletes salaries
职业运动员高薪题要诊断 market value、social fairness 和 comparison standard。带着自己的原文逐项检查，再用一次有目标的重写验证判断。
Public art funding
公共艺术经费题要诊断公共收益、预算取舍和文化价值，不要只说 art is important。只说艺术重要，却没有说明为什么 taxpayer 应该支付。
Unhealthy food tax
不健康食品税题要诊断 price signal、consumer habit、fairness 和 health outcome。先做题目诊断，再写完整作文。
