IELTS Writing Task 2: two-part question 
Here's a recent exam question (thanks to Mohammed Nasser for sharing it). 
Many people prefer to watch foreign films rather than locally produced films. Why could this 
be?
Should governments give more financial support to local film industries?
I call this type of question a "two-part question". The best thing about two-part questions is that it's so 
easy to plan your 4-paragraph essay structure: 
1. Introduction: topic + general answer to both questions 
2. Answer the first question 
3. Answer the second question 
4. Conclusion: paraphrase the answer you gave in the introduction

IELTS Writing Task 2: two-part question introduction 
To write an introduction for the question below, we just need two sentences: one sentence to 
introduce the topic, and one sentence to give a quick answer to both parts of the question. 
Many people prefer to watch foreign films rather than locally produced films. Why could this 
be?
Should governments give more financial support to local film industries?
It is true that foreign films are more popular in many countries than domestically produced films. 
There could be several reasons why this is the case, and I believe that governments should promote 
local film-making by subsidising the industry.
