Common trap
Only writing workers will be happier without explaining whether output can be maintained.
- Whether industry difference is handled
- Whether productivity mechanism is clear
- Whether service risk is answered
Task 2 question guide
Four-day work week prompts need productivity gains and service risks separated.
This IELTS Task 2 question should not start with memorising a model essay. First decide 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.
Diagnostic evidence
Without industry difference, work-policy argument overgeneralizes.
What to ask while reading the prompt
First decide whether the prompt asks about productivity, mental health, customer service, or employer cost.
What to revise after checking
Write one work chain: schedule change -> worker behaviour -> output/service result.

Work topic
IELTS Task 2 work topic 常见风险是把 remote work、job security、work-life balance 都写成泛泛效率。先诊断对象和因果。
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。
Business topic
IELTS Task 2 business topic 常涉及广告、企业责任和消费者选择。先诊断企业、政府和个人边界。先限定角度，再选例子。
Remote work flexibility
Remote work flexibility 题目容易只写方便。先诊断 employee autonomy、company control 和 productivity 的取舍。
Working from home productivity
居家办公和效率题要诊断 autonomy、distraction、team communication 和 employer trust。
Advertising consumer spending
广告和消费题要诊断 consumer choice、social pressure 和 spending behaviour。只说广告操纵人，却没有写消费者为什么相信或模仿。
Advertising to children ban
儿童广告禁令题要诊断 persuasion、parent responsibility、business freedom 和 health impact。
