How to answer IELTS Writing Task 2 - Family


IELTS Writing Task 2 is an academic style essay often about current affairs. Family is a common topic and you could be asked either to give an opinion on a controversial issue or to discuss possible problems and solutions.

Possible Questions

1. In modern times it is common for mothers as well as fathers to work. As a result children are spending less quality time with their parents. What are the reasons for this situation? What are the possible consequences?

2. Some people think that the idea of the traditional family is a thing of the past as these days families are so diverse. While others argue that the nuclear family model provided the best environment in which to raise children. How far do you agree with this opinion?

3. One group of people hold the opinion that the role of parents is to discipline their children and teach them right from wrong. An opposing group suggests that parents should nurture their sons and daughters and encourage their curiosity. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

4. In some societies around the world grandparents still play a part in helping to raise their grandchildren. What are the benefits and drawbacks of this?



Try writing the plan for one of these questions and email it to me. I will be happy to provide feedback.
