Writing task 2
Differences between academic and general modules
In both academic and general modules, candidates need to develop a
minimum 250-word essay in about 40 minutes for task 2, which makes up
around 65% of the overall writing band score. Note that there is no upper
word limit. Candidates may be assigned to an argument, a discussion, an
advantage-disadvantage, a cause-effect, or a direct-question essay. However,
there are some slight differences between the two modules. For instance,
topics are usually about more common situations in the general module:
family, society, school, sports, etc. However, in the academic module,
questions cover a broader spectrum and more academic topics, such as causes
and effects of global warming, an argument on space tourism, or advantages
and disadvantages of modern farming methods.
