IELTS Writing Task 2: 'homework' question 
Following the video that I shared in yesterday's lesson, here's a writing task 2 question on the same 
topic: 
Some people believe that school children should not be given homework by their teachers, 
whereas others argue that homework plays an important role in the education of children. 
Discuss both of these views and give your own opinion.
See if you can plan your answer in the same way as I did in 
this lesson

IELTS Writing Task 2: 'homework' mistakes 
Here are some sentences that people wrote about the "homework" topic that I shared with you in last 
week's 
lesson
. Can you correct the mistakes and improve the sentences? 
1. Fierce debates have been provoked if assignments ought to be done by students. 
2. Although there are some merits of doing homework, I would argue that homework is not as vital as the 
public reckons. 
3. They always garner the top scores in every competition of major subjects. 
4. There are people who argue the benefits of getting rid of homework from the students. 
5. Since home work is gainful for students, teachers need to ensure that they are not burdening students 
with excessive tasks. 
6. Children in school prefer to undergo everything what they learn rather than try hard in homework. 
Note:
Apart from any grammar mistakes, each of the sentences above contains a word or phrase that 
doesn't work in the context. Can you identify the vocabulary problem in each sentence?
