Risk: concepts keep changing
Money, success, happiness, and quality of life cause position drift if they are not defined.
Task 2 topic guide
Money topic essays need position and comparison standard before examples.
IELTS Task 2 money topic prompts often fail not because of missing ideas, but because income, happiness, spending, and definitions of success is not turned into a scorable paragraph chain.
Diagnose the prompt angle before choosing examples.
Diagnostic evidence: unstable comparison standard
Comparing income in one paragraph, emotion in another, and morality in the conclusion weakens Task Response.
How to break down this topic
First decide whether the prompt asks about money and happiness, consumerism, saving, salary, or social status.
What to revise after checking
Set one comparison standard for the whole essay, such as security, choice, or social pressure.
- Whether the key concept is defined
- Whether the comparison standard is consistent
- Whether the position changes in the conclusion

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 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。
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。
Money happiness debate
金钱和幸福题最容易立场漂移。先诊断 security、choice、relationship 等比较标准。先说钱重要，后说亲情更重要，最后又说都重要，全文没有稳定答案。
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。
Money position drift
示范 money and happiness 作文为什么从安全感写到成功再写到道德，导致立场不稳定。重写目标是选择一个 comparison standard 并贯穿全文。
Population topic
IELTS Task 2 population topic 常见于老龄化、出生率和城市压力。先诊断年龄结构、资源压力和政策目标。先限定角度，再选例子。
Sports topic
IELTS Task 2 sports topic 常把 health、school、money 混在一起。先诊断目标、受益人和例子支撑。
Technology topic
IELTS Task 2 technology topic 容易写成泛泛的 modern life。先诊断立场、对象和例子是否贴题。用自己的原文逐项检查，并把结论变成一次具体重写。
