Many students have no ideas or opinions about IELTS writing topics. Even if your grammar is perfect, 
you will not get a high IELTS score if you do not know what to write. 
This book is for students who want to go into the writing exam feeling confident that they have 
excellent ideas, opinions and vocabulary for as many topics as possible.

IELTS Writing Task 2: 'vegetarianism' topic 
Today I asked my students about the vegetarianism topic. They found it quite difficult to give both 
sides of the argument. It's important to be able to discuss both sides of an issue, even if there are 
points that you don't agree with. 
Here is a summary of the arguments in favour of a vegetarian diet, according to the speaker in 
yesterday's video:

A vegetarian diet is healthier. 

Eating a hamburger a day can increase your risk of dying by a third. 

Raising animals in factory farm conditions is cruel. 

Meat production causes more emissions than transportation. 

Beef production uses 100 times the amount of water that vegetable production requires. 

A vegetarian diet is cheaper. 
So, basically he is saying that a vegetarian diet is healthier, kinder to animals, better for the 
environment and cheaper.
