IELTS Writing Task 2: two common mistakes 
Here are two mistakes that students often make: 

Using "although" wrongly 

Always putting a comma after "that" 
Look at these 
incorrect
sentences: 
1. Although, tourism has many benefits, but it also has some drawbacks. 
2. Many people believe that, parents should be strict. 
Now look at the

IELTS Writing Task 2: make your own questions 
A useful way to practise is to write your own questions. By doing this, you can cover a range of topics 
without needing to search for questions in books or on the Internet. You can also keep the questions 
clear and simple. 
Let's write 3 questions about 'population growth' (yesterday's listening topic): 
Discussion question
The populations of many countries are increasing rapidly. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages 
of this trend. 
Opinion question
Many people believe that it is time to limit population growth. To what extent do you agree or 
disagree? 
Problem and solution
The populations of many countries are increasing rapidly. Explain what problems this trend may 
cause, and suggest some possible solutions.
