How to break down government topics
Ask first: whose behaviour should the policy change, where the money comes from, and what priority is sacrificed.
Task 2 topic guide
Government essays need a policy goal, not only government responsibility.
Government prompts often involve spending, regulation, public services, and individual freedom. Without a goal and trade-off, the body paragraph becomes a slogan.
The policy goal decides which example fits.
Risk: responsibility is too broad
Government should solve this problem cannot become a scorable argument without budget or implementation details.
Diagnostic evidence: no trade-off
If the essay only lists benefits and never handles cost, freedom, or priority, the position usually stays immature.
What to revise after checking
Add three elements to one government claim: policy target, cost, and measurable result.
- Whether the policy goal is clear
- Whether budget trade-off appears
- Whether the result can be explained

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。
Task Response
IELTS Task Response 的核心是完整回应命令词、保持清楚一致的立场，并把观点展开到可以评估，观点数量是其次。先拆出题目要求与对象，再检查 thesis、段落主旨、理由、例子和结果是否共同回答问题。引用原文定位遗漏或薄弱链条，把最主要的一处改成下一版可验证的段落重写目标，并记录前后证据。
Task 2 position
IELTS Task 2 清晰立场从开头的同意或反对开始，再让 thesis、topic sentence、主体段理由和 conclusion 持续回答同一问题。通过 agree/disagree、discussion 与双问题题型识别立场漂移、范围过大或让步失控的原文证据，再把问题收窄成一次可检查的开头或段落重写。
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。
Health topic
IELTS Task 2 health topic 常见问题是把 lifestyle、tax、public health 混在一起。先诊断责任和证据。
Housing topic
IELTS Task 2 housing topic 常涉及房价、城市规划和家庭生活。先诊断 affordability、land use 和居民体验。
Language topic
IELTS Task 2 language topic 涉及儿童外语、全球语言和文化身份。先诊断学习目的和受影响群体。先限定角度，再选例子。
