It is very important to have good ideas in writing task 2 if you want to score 
well. Here are some topics with related vocabulary ideas (topic specific 
vocabulary) to help you what you are expected to write and how you are 
expected to develop your ideas. 
Look at the example below. 
Families who send their children to private schools should not be 
required to pay taxes that support the state education system.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Here are their ideas for a 'completely disagree' answer: 
difficult to calculate the tax reduction 
more government staff would be required for this process 
we all pay for public services that we may not need e.g. police 
poorer people would pay more tax than wealthy people 
state schools benefit the whole of society 
high quality state education leads to equal opportunities for all 
a well-educated workforce is the key to a prosperous nation 
companies need educated staff 
we should all be happy to contribute to public services 
After brainstorming, we need to organize these ideas so that we have two 
paragraphs. There seem to be two main themes in the ideas above: 
1.
Reasons why we think the idea would not work, or would be unfair. 
2.
Reasons why everyone should pay taxes that support state education.
