Common trap
Supporting by market value in one paragraph and opposing by moral fairness in another without one position.
Task 2 question guide
Athlete salary prompts need the comparison standard first.
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 teachers, doctors, and athletes appear without a comparison standard, the position drifts.
What to ask while reading the prompt
Decide whether to compare by market reward, social contribution, or scarcity.
What to revise after checking
Write one stable thesis that names the salary fairness standard early.
- Whether the comparison standard is consistent
- Whether the market mechanism is explained
- Whether the fairness objection is handled

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。
Sports topic
IELTS Task 2 sports topic 常把 health、school、money 混在一起。先诊断目标、受益人和例子支撑。
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。
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 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。
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。
Libraries and internet
Public libraries and internet 题要诊断 access、digital divide、community space 和 public spending。
