Risk: too much value judgement
Traditions are valuable needs explanation of how they change community behaviour.
Task 2 topic guide
Culture essays need a change mechanism, not only protecting tradition.
Culture prompts often involve language, food, festivals, global brands, and younger generations. Writing only identity often becomes empty.
A culture example should become behaviour-specific.
Diagnostic evidence: example is not observable
If the example does not show a specific activity, language, or consumption behaviour, it usually cannot support the claim.
How to break down culture topics
First decide whether the prompt asks about preservation, change, globalisation, or education. Each angle needs different body roles.
What to revise after checking
Turn one culture claim into an observable example: who changes what behaviour in which setting.
- Whether the cultural object is specific
- Whether the change mechanism is clear
- Whether the example is observable

Writing checker
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。
Tourism topic
IELTS Task 2 tourism topic 常在 jobs 和 culture 之间摇摆。先诊断比较标准和因果链。如果正文没有说明就业、环境或文化哪一个优先，立场会弱。
Media topic
IELTS Task 2 media topic 容易泛写 influence。先诊断信息来源、受众和行为改变。这个观点太大，无法说明是改变消费、观点、学习还是投票。
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。
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。
Energy topic
IELTS Task 2 energy topic 不能只写 renewable is clean。先诊断成本、基础设施和 adoption 机制。
Environment topic
IELTS Task 2 environment topic 常卡在 government、individual、company 的责任还要拆清。先诊断责任链再重写。
Start practising
Check whether the culture-topic example is specific first.
Submit one culture-topic essay and find the main issue in example, change mechanism, or development.
