Common trap
Only saying art is important without explaining why taxpayers should pay.
Task 2 question guide
Public art funding prompts must turn cultural value into public benefit.
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
Without audience, access, or local identity, public benefit is not specific enough.
What to ask while reading the prompt
First decide whether the investment serves education, tourism, community identity, or artist support.
What to revise after checking
Write the art funding claim as public money -> access -> community result.
- Whether taxpayer benefit is clear
- Whether cultural value is observable
- Whether budget trade-off appears

Arts topic
IELTS Task 2 arts topic 容易只写 art is important。先诊断文化价值、政府预算和可见收益。先诊断题目角度，再决定例子。
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。
Government spending arts
Government spending on arts 题目容易变成艺术好不好。先诊断 public budget、social value 和 opportunity cost。
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。
Public transport investment
公共交通投资题不要只写 more buses。先诊断预算、服务质量和 commuter choice。先问：钱花在速度、覆盖、票价还是安全？不同目标对应不同结果。
