IELTS Writing Task 2: from plan to paragraph 
If you have a 5-idea plan, it should be relatively easy to write a paragraph. Just make each point in 
your plan into a sentence. For example: 
5-idea plan for "why people prefer foreign films"
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 
Full paragraph with 5-sentences (one for each idea)
There are several reasons why many people find foreign films more enjoyable than the films 
produced in their own countries. Firstly, the established film industries in certain countries have 
huge budgets for action, special effects and to shoot scenes in spectacular locations. Hollywood 
blockbusters like ‘Avatar’ or the James Bond films are examples of such productions, and their global 
appeal is undeniable. Another reason why these big-budget films are so successful is that they often 
star the most famous actors and actresses, and they are made by the most accomplished producers 
and directors. The poor quality, low-budget filmmaking in many countries suffers in comparison.
