IELTS Writing Task 2: two-part conclusion 
Here's the introduction that I wrote for last week's lesson:
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. 
Now, here's my conclusion:
In conclusion, I believe that increased financial support could help to raise the quality of locally made 
films and allow them to compete with the foreign productions that currently dominate the market. 
Note: 
- I wrote my conclusion by paraphrasing the introduction. 
- In my conclusion, I changed the order of the two parts, mentioning the financial support first and the 
popularity of foreign films second.

IELTS Writing Task 2: plan for 5-sentence paragraphs 
Over the last few weeks I've been using this 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?
Here's my plan for the two main body paragraphs, each with 5 sentences: 
First main paragraph: Why could this be?
1. Topic sentence - several reasons 
2. First reason - budgets for action, special effects, spectacular locations 
3. Example - Hollywood blockbusters like 
Avatar
or James Bond films

4. Second reason - the most famous actors, actresses and directors 
5. Final reason - poor quality local filmmaking in many countries
