IELTS Writing Task 2: 'robots' topic 
A student sent me this question: 
Some people believe that robots will play an important role in future societies, while others 
argue that robots might have negative effects on society.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Today my students planned an essay for this topic. The photo below shows the ideas they had in the 
lesson:

IELTS Writing Task 2: 'women and work' topic 
Dana sent me the following question: 
Women should have an equal role alongside men in both police and armed forces. To what 
extent do you agree or disagree?
Here is my plan for a 4-paragraph essay: 
1. Introduction: topic + response
- Introduce the topic e.g. "Increasing numbers of women are choosing to..." 
- Respond to the question e.g. "I completely agree that women should be able..." 
2. First reason why I agree: equal opportunities
Explain why women should have the same right as men to choose their profession. People should be 
chosen for jobs according to their skills, qualifications, character etc. 
3. Second reason why I agree: women's capabilities
I would disagree with the view that women are less able than men to do certain jobs. Also, I would 
argue that policewomen, for example, may be better at controlling a situation by communicating more 
effectively. Police and military work requires more than just physical strength. Teamwork, leadership 
and communication can be much more important.
