IELTS Advice: good writing looks easy (but it isn't) 
I sometimes hear from students who believe that my essays seem too easy. Have another look at the 
essay that I wrote on Wednesday, and the vocabulary list in yesterday's lesson. Is it really as easy as 
it seems to write like that?

IELTS Writing Task 2: Google my phrases 
Take another look at the phrases in 
this vocabulary lesson
. Choose five of the phrases and put them 
into Google. It's interesting to see some other examples of how those phrases have been used in 
non-IELTS contexts. 
For example, here are the results of my Google search for the highlighted parts of each sentence 
below. 
1. 
Opinions differ as to whether
Edward Snowden should be punished or rewarded. 
2. Is poverty 
a necessary aspect of
capitalism? 
3. More money does not lead to better 
educational outcomes
. 
4. Scientists say yoga 
is just as beneficial as
cardio exercise and could fend off heart disease. 
5. You want your employees to be able to 
apply the knowledge
acquired from the training programs.
