Diagnostic evidence: no role change
If parents and children do not change behaviour, the paragraph is usually only a value judgement.
Task 2 topic guide
Family essays need changing roles, not only family is important.
Family prompts often involve parental responsibility, child independence, elderly care, and working hours. Love and support is safe but hard to develop.
Write the role first, then the impact.
Risk: relationship is too vague
Parents should guide children is hard to prove without a specific decision.
What to revise after checking
Rewrite one topic sentence so it includes role, decision, and consequence.
How to break down family topics
First decide whether the prompt asks about responsibility, independence, care, or work-life balance. Each type has different roles.
- Whether the role is specific
- Whether behaviour changes
- Whether the impact returns to the prompt

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。
Children topic
IELTS Task 2 children topic 常把 children 写得太大。先诊断年龄段、责任主体和行为变化。年龄段决定原因和例子。
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。
Coherence
IELTS Coherence and Cohesion 的范围比 linking words 大得多。更重要的是观点顺序、段落职责、句子推进和指代是否清楚。
Food topic
IELTS Task 2 food topic 常在 fast food、local food、health 和 culture 之间跳。先诊断题目角度。
Globalisation topic
IELTS Task 2 globalisation topic 容易写成世界变小了。先诊断文化、经济和个人选择之间的影响链。先诊断题目角度，再决定例子。
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。
