Ielts writing Task 2: ways to prepare

What is your view of the relationship between equality and personal success?

Faced with this question, here are 3 tips:

1. 
   Have a strong opinion (e.g. I completely agree that people can achieve more in egalitarian societies.) You can ignore the other view.
   
2. 
   Focus on the last line of the question (What is your view of...?). This line sums up the whole question very clearly. Just answer this question.
   
3. 
   Use examples as the basis of your argument e.g. free university education ensures equality of opportunity, and therefore allows individuals to achieve more.
   

If you try writing an essay for this question, you can compare your essay with my answer next Wednesday. I'm afraid I can't check essays or give scores.

Note: 'egalitarian' refers to the principle that people are equal, and deserve equal rights and opportunities.
