Risk: the group is too broad
Children should learn responsibility needs to say whether it means primary school children or teenagers.
- Whether age group is clear
- Whether adult responsibility is clear
- Whether behaviour change is specific
Task 2 topic guide
Children-topic essays should make children specific before discussing responsibility.
Children prompts may ask about discipline, screen time, school education, independence, or parents. Without age group, examples become vague.
Age group decides reasons and examples.
Diagnostic evidence: one example fits every child
If the example fits any children prompt, it has not answered the specific age and setting.
How to break down children topics
Write age group, setting, adult role, and expected behaviour first.
What to revise after checking
Replace children with one specific group, then rewrite the reason and example.

Family topic
IELTS Task 2 family topic 常把 parents、children、elderly 写成泛泛关系。先诊断角色、责任和变化。
Social media children
Social media and children 这类 Task 2 题目容易写成泛泛危害。先诊断 age group、platform use 和 consequence 是否清楚。
Task 2 examples
Task 2 的例子要和 claim、reason、consequence 连在一起，才能支撑论证。例子出现了，还要说明它怎样支持前一句推理。
Crime topic
IELTS Task 2 crime topic 容易写成 punishment 清单。先诊断原因、责任主体和 solution 机制。solution 要有机制，不只是态度正确。
Culture topic
IELTS Task 2 culture topic 容易写成 tradition is important。先诊断文化变化、代际差异和具体例子。
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。
