How to break down this topic
First decide whether the prompt asks about ageing society, low birth rate, migration, or population control.
Task 2 topic guide
Population topic essays need age structure and resource pressure.
IELTS Task 2 population topic prompts often turn ageing, birth rates, and public-service pressure into a common-sense list instead of a scorable argument chain.
Limit the angle before choosing examples.
Common risk
Only writing that old people need care misses labour force, tax, and family responsibility.
Diagnostic evidence
If young workers, taxpayers, or families are missing, population argument is usually too vague.
What to revise after checking
Write one population chain: age group -> resource need -> social pressure -> policy response.
- Whether the age group is clear
- Whether resource pressure is specific
- Whether the policy goal is realistic

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。
Urbanisation topic
IELTS Task 2 urbanisation topic 容易泛写 big cities。先诊断人口迁移、住房、就业和公共服务压力。
Older population society
老龄化社会题要诊断 healthcare cost、family care、workforce 和 older people contribution。
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。
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。
