12. Question and Model Answer The charts below give information on the ages of the populations of Yemen and Italy in 2000 and projections for 2050. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

13. Model Answer The pie charts compare the proportions of Italian and Yemeni citizens in three age groups in 2000 and projections for 2050. It is clear that Yemen had the younger population in the year 2000, and the same is predicted for the year 2050. The populations of both countries are predicted to get older over the 50 year period. In 2000 just over half the Yemeni population were under 14, compared to just over 14% of Italians in the same age group. Only a very small percentage of people in Yemen were over 60 at 3.6%, in contrast to nearly a quarter of the Italian population. The largest group for Italy was the 15-59-year-olds with just over 60% while Yemen had 46.3% of its population in this category. Yemen’s average age is set to increase with the proportion of over 60s increasing by just over 2% and the middle group rising by 11%, leaving the youngest group with a decrease of nearly 13%. It is envisaged that by 2050 the number of people in Italy over 60 will jump to 42.3%, the percentage of those in the youngest bracket will drop to 11.5% and the share in the middle category will decrease to 46.2%.

23. Sample Essay Space exploration is much too expensive and the money should be spent on more important things. What is your opinion?

24. Model Answer There is an argument that exploring space is a waste of money and that there are more urgent needs to be addressed on earth, such as reducing poverty and preventing environmental destruction. However, I completely disagree with this opinion for two reasons. First of all, many of the technologies we take for granted today were originated thanks to space research. Take satellite technology, for example, which we depend on for broadcasting and weather forecasting. Without satellites, we would not be able to follow global events as they happen, nor give populations any warning of approaching storms. Space research has also led to the development of new lightweight materials that offe r us heat protection and enable food preservation. Therefore, the challenge of sending human beings into space has often driven the development of new technologies that benefit our everyday lives. Second, we cannot foresee the distant future, so we ought to develop the capability to escape from the earth. Gradually, we are learning how humans can survive for long periods in space and even travel to other planets in the future. If space exploration is halted, this valuable knowledge will never be acquired. It is true that environmental destruction is also a serious issue, but it is also true that we remain dependent on our environment if we never accept the challenge of exploring other worlds. In conclusion, while we undoubtedly face serious problems on our own planet, it is imperative that we continue to explore space. This will promote further technological advances as well as provide a possible means of escape should earth become uninhabitable in future. Ideally, all nations should cooperate in the advancement of space research. (278 words, IELTS 8.5)

26. Discussion + Opinion Essay Discuss both views’ is a common type of IELTS essay question in which the examiner will pay particular attention to paragraphing. Make your essay structure very clear by writing two body paragraphs that each discuss a different view. Try to make these two paragraphs similar in length—three sentences is enough—and save your own opinion for the conclusion (Although this is not the only structure you can choose). You can score highly on a ‘discuss both views’ question by following these simple rules.

27. Structure of Discussion + Opinion Essay INTRODUCTION - Paraphrase the question - State both views - Give you view / opinion (Thesis Statement) - Outline what is going to be discussed in the essay MAIN BODY PARAGRAPH 1 - Introduce the view (View A - topic sentence) - Discuss/ give detail - Example

28. Main Body MAIN BODY PARAGRAPH 2 - Introduce the view (View B - topic sentence) - Discuss/ give detail - Example MAIN BODY PARAGRAPH 3 - Introduce your opinion - Discuss/ give detail - Example CONCLUSION Summary of the main points

29. Sample Essay The free movement of goods across national borders has long been a controversial issue. Some people argue that it is necessary for economic growth, while others claim that it damages local industries. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. You should write at least 250 words

30. Model Answer One of the most debatable issues of the last century has been the extent to which international trade benefits or harms national economies. Many arguments have been made for and against free trade between nations. In this essay, I will discuss both views and state my own position. Those who support the expansion of global free trade claim that economies grow faster when they can specialise in just a few industries in which they have a strong advantage. As a result, each region or country produces something of value to the world economy. For example, East Asia manufactures electronic goods, the Middle East exports energy, and the EU produces luxury items. Free trade proponents claim that dependence on global trade helps to strengthen international cooperation and prevent wars. Meanwhile, opponents of free trade— sometimes called ‘protectionists’—claim that the unrestricted movement of goods and services causes damage to local communities. This is because jobs are lost when it becomes cheaper to import a product than to produce it domestically. They also argue that the vast distances travelled by food, oil, and consumer goods is harming the environment and making our lives unsustainable. Protectionists are in favour of tighter controls on the movement of goods and services in order to protect jobs and livelihoods. In conclusion, while there are convincing arguments on both sides of the debate, a return to protectionist policies would surely be a mistake. I believe that global trade is inevitable and should not be restricted. It is no longer realistic for nations to source all of their energy, food, and manufactured goods within their own borders.

32. Problem Solution Cause-Effect Essays Problem solutions and causes solutions essay are very similar but there is a subtle difference. One type asks about the problems and the other asks about the causes. In is very important to spend a couple of minutes analyzing the task question so that you know what to write about in the essay. In both types of essays, you have to mention the problem but in a causes solution essay you are mainly focused on the cause of the problem and that is what you will write about as well as the possible solution.

33. Structure of Problem Solution Essay There is no actual structure for this essay, but the structures below may work well in a problem solution essay. INTRODUCTION - Paraphrase the question - Outline what is going to be discussed in the essay PROBLEM - State problem - Explain what the problem is - What is the result of this problem - Example

34. Continued SOLUTION - State solution - Explain how the solution will solve the problem - Example CONCLUSION - Summary of main points in paragraphs 2 and 3 - Prediction or recommendation

35. Sample Essay : Problem Solution The internet has transformed the way information is shared and consumed, but it has also created problems that did not exist before. What are the most serious problems associated with the internet and what solutions can you suggest?

36. Model Answer IELTS Writing Task 2: Model Answer There is no doubt that the internet has revolutionised communication and information-sharing in the same way that the telegraph and the television did before it. However, societies have had to cope with unanticipated new problems, including crimes which traditional laws are powerless to prevent. This essay will address some of the illegal acts enabled by the internet and propose solutions. To begin with, the global scale of the internet means that national laws are no longer adequate to control what happens online. Take restrictions on legal reporting, for example. In some countries, the media is prohibited from revealing details of a defendant’s past in case this prejudices a fair trial. However, such restrictions are no longer enforceable now that information may be freely published in other countries and accessed by all. The only solution here, it seems, is to adopt global standards. Since the internet traverses national borders, the flow of information can only be controlled if all nations agree on what can and cannot be shared.

37. Model Answer Another problem concerns anonymity, as internet users can easily conceal their identity and even impersonate others. Many crimes such as identity theft and child abuse result from the ease with which criminals can operate anonymously online. Some have proposed a system of online identification, similar to a passport, which would allow all internet users to be verified and traced. I believe this idea should be explored further, though there are clearly concerns about the security of those who use the internet to protest against oppressive regimes. In conclusion, the only long-term solution to the problem of internet crime is greater international cooperation. Since the problem is global is scale, the solution must also be global. A new agency of the United Nations should be created to tackle the problems described here. (298 words, IELTS 8.5)

Therefore, it is important that you find out relevant points of causes (reasons) and effects for IELTS Writing. Please note that in this question, you should not make any paragraph about solutions.

41. Structure: Cause/Effect Essay Structure of Cause and Effect Essay There is no actual structure for this essay, but the structures below may work well in a cause/effect essay. INTRODUCTION - Paraphrase the question - Outline what is going to be discussed in the essay CAUSES - State the cause - Explain how it is the cause - Example

42. Structure of C&E EFFECTS - State the likely effect - Explain how the can be the possible effect - Example CONCLUSION - Summary of main points in paragraphs 2 and 3

43. Sampel Essay Cause and Effect Many criminals commit further crimes as soon as they are released from prison. What do you think are the causes of this? What effects will this have on society?

44. Model Answer Numerous ex-convicts re-offend soon after they have been freed from jail. This essay will first discuss why this is happening and secondly the negative impact it has on society. On the one hand, the primary cause of ex-prisoners committing crimes as soon as they are out of prison is because they think that this could be the fastest way to earn money. Having a criminal record means that it is hard to find employment, which means that ex-cons cannot find suitable jobs. Most employers would be very hesitant to hire someone who has a criminal record, even though the person might have the right skills for the position. For example, an ABC 5 documentary in 2016 reported that 90% of employers would not hire an employee if they had committed criminal offences.

45. Model Answer On the other hand, this has a detrimental effect on society, because new offences will be committed and the taxpayers will keep paying for these criminals. This will also indicate the need to have bigger prisons to accommodate prisoners, which furthermore affects the budget of a city. If more prisons are required, taxes will rise and the community will pay for these people to stay incarcerated. For example, in 2016, the Caloocan City municipality reported that they allocated 80 million pesos to extend their city jails, and this was funded by taxpayers. In conclusion, the lack of opportunities for ex-convicts to restart their lives is the reason why they tend to commit the same mistakes. The effect is immense not only for the individual but for the whole country as well, for this can affect the economic stability. (Word count - 270 / Band score 8)
