IELTS Writing Task 2: seeing both sides 
Whatever your real opinion is, it's important to be able to see both sides of the argument when 
preparing IELTS writing topics. 
For example, in 
yesterday's lesson
the speaker talked about the advantages of teleworking. To 
complete our preparation of this topic, let's think about the possible 
disadvantages
of teleworking. 
Feel free to share your ideas in the "comments" below this lesson, and we'll look at a possible 
question next week.

IELTS Writing Task 2: strong opinion & both sides 
Sometimes it's possible to have a strong opinion but still write about both sides of the argument. Take 
this question for example: 
‘Teleworking’, or the use of telecommunications to allow people to work from home, should be 
adopted by all employers in order to improve the quality of life of their staff.
 To what extent do you 
agree or disagree with this statement?
Here's my introduction: 
The current trend towards teleworking is a positive one in many respects. However, I strongly 
disagree with the idea that it should be introduced in all work contexts.
Can you see how this introduction allows me to write about both the positives and negatives of 
teleworking, even though I expressed a strong opinion? Which word in the question allowed me to do 
this?
