Simon’s ielts writing task 2

outweigh the disadvantages?
Using the ideas that people shared below last week's lesson, here's a simple essay plan: 
1. 
Introduction:
Introduce the topic, then say that there are more advantages than disadvantages. 
2. 
Paragraph about disadvantages:
competition for jobs, oversupply of labour, possible increase in 
unemployment, pressure on housing and public services, social problems e.g. crime. 
3. 
Paragraph about advantages:
young, vibrant workforce, new ideas, creativity, adopting new 
technologies, increased productivity, boost to economy, more money from taxes. 
4. 
Conclusion:
repeat / summarise. 
I'll use these ideas to start writing the essay next Wednesday.

IELTS Writing Task 2: introduction and conclusion 
Here's an introduction and conclusion for the 
young population
question that we've been looking at. 
Can you find the examples of paraphrasing that I've used? 
Question
At the present time, the population of some countries includes a relatively large number of young 
adults, compared with the number of older people. Do the advantages of this situation outweigh the 
disadvantages? 
Introduction
It is true that younger adults make up a significant proportion of the population of some nations. While 
there are certain drawbacks for countries with this kind of population structure, I believe that the 
individual, social and economic benefits far outweigh these drawbacks. 
Conclusion
In conclusion, it seems to me that it is advantageous in a variety of ways for countries to have more 
young adults than elderly people.
