IELTS Writing Task 2 Sample (Package 2)


Topic
Safety standards are important when building a house. Who should be responsible for reinforcing the safety standard of a house?


Sample Answer
As the world’s population continues to increase, there is more and more demand for housing. There are so many types of private dwelling, ranging from conventional house to vertical buildings. In all cases of building, safety standard is one of many aspects which needs to get a serious attention. In my personal opinion, home owners, government and constructor are responsible for ensuring that the house will not pose any potential danger to the dwellers. There are so many examples of potential danger resulted from the violation of safety standard in housing, This writing aims to outline three cases in which illustrate the significance of safety standard in residential homes.


First of all, the safety of a house should be the responsibility of each individual. Home owners should realize the potential threat like electrical shortage, fire, or accident. In the case of fire, for example, every house should have fire extinguisher and fire exit. Parents should make sure that the layout of the house is safe for the younger members of the family, especially if they have small children. There are several cases where toddlers are falling off the stairs because the parents are not aware that such accident could potentially happen and injure their children. In some fatal cases, there might be casualties in such incident, especially when a family lives in vertical building like apartment. For instance, there are several cases where toddlers are falling off a balcony. This usually happens when parents do not lock the door and do not realize that that the children play outside.


In terms of the safety, contractors and developers are responsible for complying with standard engineering requirement. Sadly, many of them often ignore safety in order to minimize cost, without knowing that what they do can jeopardize the people’s life. In this case, government carries at least half of the responsibility to monitor the compliance of a building developer. Moreover, government also needs to consider strengthening policy on housing in vulnerable areas, like fire-prone areas or earthquake-prone area. By taking some precautions and building more resilient housing, it is hoped that there no longer be loss of life.


From the explanation above, it can be inferred that the aspect of safety in housing should get more attention from all stakeholders. Individuals have to anticipate any danger by providing safety tool kits like fire extinguisher. As the ones who design and build the housing, contractors are responsible for meeting the safety standard. Government share the same responsibility and has to monitor the compliance of developer as well as strengthening policy on housing safety.

IELTS Writing Task 1 - Bar Graph (Material, Sample Writing and Exercise)

We have discussed how a line graph is described in the previous post. Today, I would like to discuss another graph commonly used in IELTS Writing Task 1, the bar graph. As I said, I am going to breakdown each graph in IELTS Writing Task 1, and this is the second article that I write. You can read the first article in here , and learn the general structure of writing task 1 in here . Bar Graph Before discussing the bar graph above, let's take a look at the common structure of IELTS Writing Task 1 below: Paragraph 1 - Introduction - Explaining Variables - Explaining Major Trend Paragraph 2 Trend 1 (proportion, lowest/highest point, increase/decrease) Paragraph 3 Trend 2 (proportion, lowest/highest point, increase/decrease) Now, let's discuss how a bar graph should be described step by step. Paragraph 1 Introduction As usual, the first thing that we have to do when doing IELTS Writing Task 1 is explaining what the graph is about. This is done by paraphrasing the original title. Ta

IELTS Writing Task 1 is one of the two writing tasks in IELTS. You will be asked to describe a graph and write at least 150 words. I have written an article on IELTS Writing Task 1 before, as well as some revised versions of that article. But the explanation is way too general. I just explained the writing structure and gave a sample writing.  From now on, I will breakdown that article into several posts that explain how each graph (bar graph, line graph, pie chart, map, process, and combined graphs) is done. There will be a lot of posts following this initial post, because each graph, or the combination of two graphs, may vary in terms of level of difficulty and trend. We are going to start this long discussion by describing a line graph. Take a look at a sample graph below. Line Graph Before describing the line graph, you should remember that writing task 1 structure is described as follows: Paragraph 1 Overview - Giving a general introduction - Explaining the variables - Explaining

IELTS Writing Task 1 - Table (Material, Sample Writing and Exercise)

Today, we are going to discuss how a table is described in IELTS Writing Task 1. Previously, we have discussed three other graphs here , here and here . Although the structure of IELTS Writing Task 1 is pretty much the same, we have to always remember that the difficulty level may be different for each graph. For instance, one may find it easier to understand a bar graph, a pie chart and a line graph, but face a lot of challenges trying to describe a table. A table could be too complex too understand and this is one thing that we need to anticipate. For today's discussion, we are going to use a simple table. After learning how a simple table is described, we are going to discuss a more complex table later as an exercise. Take a look at a table below. Table Before we start writing anything, I will try to illustrate how a table could easily be read and how we choose some of the most important components to include in our writing. Take a look at an illustration below. Table The first
