How to break down work topics
First decide whether the prompt asks about workplace policy, skill change, job security, job satisfaction, or family time. Each angle needs different examples.
Task 2 topic guide
Work-topic essays need workplace relationships; pressure and efficiency are only the starting point.
Work questions often involve employees, employers, governments, and families. The body paragraph needs to explain the conflict between them, or it turns into generic advice.
Find the roles first, then write the impact.
Risk: only writing personal effort
Many work-life balance prompts need employer policy as well as people should manage time.
Diagnostic evidence: missing actor
A paragraph needs to say what the employee or employer actually does for the causal logic to hold.
What to revise after checking
Choose one work claim and add an actor, a decision, and a trade-off. If that is a struggle, rewrite the claim first.
- Whether employee or employer is clear
- Whether there is a trade-off
- Whether generic efficiency claims are reduced

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。
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。
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。
Idea development
有 idea 不一定有结果：Task 2 主体段要把观点写成解释、例子和结果。按 claim→reason→example 查断点，再把最空的一句改成可评分论证。
Arts topic
IELTS Task 2 arts topic 容易只写 art is important。先诊断文化价值、政府预算和可见收益。先诊断题目角度，再决定例子。
Business topic
IELTS Task 2 business topic 常涉及广告、企业责任和消费者选择。先诊断企业、政府和个人边界。先限定角度，再选例子。
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。
