3 Best Paraphrasing Tips for IELTS Writing Task 2

What is paraphrasing.

Paraphrasing is when you take an original idea and re-write it to express the same meaning but in a different way. This might be by changing words, word forms, sentence structure, or using synonyms. If you think this is just for writing academic papers, think again. We actually paraphrase all the time!

When you read a book, article, or watch a movie and tell your friends about it, you are paraphrasing. When you tell your friend or colleague about a conversation you had with your boss, you are paraphrasing. You are not repeating the original conversation word for word. You are giving them the main idea of the conversation using your own words.

IELTS Writing Task 2: Why do you need to paraphrase?

Paraphrasing is important to the IELTS writing task 2 because your introduction paragraph is basically a paraphrase of the essay prompt. You will need to re-write the essay prompt in your own words to introduce your essay.

Watch Jay break down the IELTS writing task 2 introduction right here:

Three ways how do paraphrasing for IELTS writing task 2

Before you attempt to paraphrase, you need to make sure that you understand the gist , or meaning of the paragraph. Paraphrasing is more than just changing words. Your paraphrase needs to make sense and still convey the original message. So, you should read the original text a couple of times to make sure you understand the message it conveys. Then turn the ideas over in your mind. Think of how you would express the same ideas to a friend.

Below are three techniques to paraphrase. Rather than exclusively using one of them, a good paraphrase includes all methods. 

  • Use synonyms

Synonyms are different words that express the same or similar meaning.

For example: Interesting, fascinating, curious and amusing are all synonyms.

But! Some synonyms can have a slightly different meaning. For example, fascinating has a stronger meaning than interesting . So be careful when using synonyms. We need to make sure that the words we are using convey the same level of meaning as the original.

Original: Many people think that cars should not be allowed in city centres.

Paraphrase: Many people believe that motor vehicles should be banned in urban areas.

think –> believe

cars –> motor vehicles

should not be allowed –> should be banned

city centres –> urban areas

IELTS writing task 2  Paraphrasing

  • Change the word forms

Another way to paraphrase is to change word forms. For example, changing a noun into a verb, a verb into a noun or an adjective into a noun or vice versa.

Original: Many people find watching tennis interesting (interesting = adjective).

Paraphrase: Many people have an interest in watching tennis (interest = noun).

Original: Some people think Facebook is an invasion of privacy (invasion = noun).

Paraphrase: Some people think Facebook has invaded our privacy (has invaded = verb).

  • Change the sentence structure

A third way to paraphrase is to change sentence structure. This could be by changing the sentence from passive to active or vice versa, or changing the order of the clauses. Let’s have a look.

Active to Passive

Original: The hurricane destroyed the city.

Paraphrase: The city was destroyed by the hurricane.

In the sentence above, the subject (the hurricane) became the object, and the object (the city) became the subject.

To be passive, we also changed the verb destroyed into past perfect (was/were + past participle).

Passive to Active

Original: The public transport system was developed by the city council.

Paraphrase: The city council developed the public transport system.

In the sentence above the subject (the public transport system) became the object, and the object (the city council) became the subject.

  Order of clauses

A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. Some sentences can be a single clause. Some sentences can be made up of two or more clauses.

For example: It is difficult to say whether the economy will improve.

The two clauses are: It is difficult to say / whether the economy will improve.

  One way to paraphrase is by changing the order of the clauses.

For example: Whether the economy will improve, it is difficult to say.

Let’s look at another example:

Original: During the summer, many people visit the temple.

Paraphrase: Many people visit the temple during the summer.

Paraphrasing an essay prompt to write your introduction

In IELTS Writing Task 2, you write your introduction by paraphrasing the essay prompt. In order to do this, you will need to unpack or break the essay prompt into parts. Usually, an essay prompt consists of three parts:

A general statement that introduces the topic

A specific statement that gives you the specific idea about the topic

Finally, your instructions/question

paraphrising

Let’s look at an example:

Nowadays, more and more foreign students are going to English-speaking countries to learn the international language – English. It is undoubtedly true that studying English in an English-speaking country is the best way, but it is not the only way to learn it. Do you agree or disagree with the above statement?

To unpack this prompt, the first sentence is the general statement. Nowadays, more and more foreign students are going to English-speaking countries to learn the international language – English . This tells us what the essay topic is.

The second sentence is the specific statement. It is undoubtedly true that studying English in an English-speaking country is the best way, but it is not the only way to learn it . It gives an opinion about the topic.

The third sentence is the question. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above statement? This means you have to express your opinion on the second sentence.

So! In order to write your introduction, you need to paraphrase the three parts of this essay prompt.

Let’s look at an example of a paraphrase of each:

Sentence 1: Nowadays, more and more foreign students are going to English-speaking countries to learn the international language – English

Paraphrase: In recent times, a growing number of international students are learning English in English-speaking countries.

Sentence 2: It is undoubtedly true that studying English in an English-speaking country is the best way, but it is not the only way to learn it.

Paraphrase: Although it is beneficial to learn English in a country where it is natively spoken, there are other effective ways to learn it.

Sentence 3: To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above statement?

Paraphrase: I agree with this statement to a large degree.

Putting it all together:

Original (essay prompt): Nowadays, more and more foreign students are going to English-Speaking countries to learn the “international language – English”. It is undoubtedly true that studying English in an English-speaking country is the best way, but it is not the only way to learn it. Do you agree or disagree with the above statement?  

Paraphrase (introduction): In recent times, a growing number of international students are learning English in English-speaking countries. Although it is most beneficial to learn English in a country where it is natively spoken, there are other effective ways to learn it. I agree with this statement to a large degree.

Using a combination of the above techniques (synonyms, word forms, sentence structure), write an introduction to the following essay by paraphrasing the prompt below.

The overuse of natural resources ultimately exhausts them. This causes huge harm to the environment. Therefore, the government should discourage people from overusing such resources. To what extent do you support or oppose this idea?

  There are three possible correct answers:

Click here to show/hide answer 1

Click here to show/hide answer 2, click here to show/hide answer 3.

So, more than one paraphrase can be correct. There are many ways to say the same thing. There is also more than one way to paraphrase. The best way to paraphrase for IELTS Writing Task 2 is to use a combination of these techniques (synonyms, sentence structure and clause order).

Practice makes perfect!

Paraphrasing in IELTS

In this tutorial, we examine an important IELTS skill for starting  IELTS writing  task 2: paraphrasing.

Firstly, let’s start by defining paraphrasing.

What is paraphrasing?

Paraphrasing is the expression of a phrase or sentence in another way.

For example, the sentence:

‘The school student listened attentively to the podcast’

can be paraphrased as:

‘The pupil listened very carefully to the digital audio file’

This technique is used frequently in the writing, reading and listening components of the  IELTS exam .

Why is paraphrasing important in IELTS writing task 2 ?

Paraphrasing in IELTS is important because it:

  • helps you to focus on the main topic, using your own words
  • provides you with the skill to develop an idea, reformulate a concept and offer variety in your writing style
  • prevents redundancy and makes the sentence structure in the essay or written material more appealing to the reader

3 ways To paraphrase

In this tutorial, let’s review IELTS test paraphrasing techniques to apply in writing task 2 of the IELTS exam.

Most students think of paraphrasing only as meaning using synonyms, but there are different ways to paraphrase that don’t require changing the word. These include changing the word form, using the passive voice to change the phrase from active to passive, changing the sentence structure or using different clauses to change the verb form. Use as many of these techniques as you can to score higher on the IELTS test.

We’ll examine three principle paraphrasing strategies:

  • Use of synonyms
  • Verb transformation
  • Sentence restructuring

Secondly, we will apply these techniques to examples of writing task 2 in the IELTS exam. Writing skills in this component of the exam include:

  • giving an opinion
  • discussing causes and suggesting solutions
  • discussing arguments for or against an idea or situation
  • discussing advantages and disadvantages

When you are sure you understand all three techniques, choose another IELTS test writing question and try to paraphrase it by yourself.

Strategy 1: use of synonyms

Let’s start with our first strategy: the use of synonyms.

  • First, read and understand the question.
  • Use a highlighter to highlight the keywords in the question.

Select synonyms to replace those keywords.

Let’s take an example. Read and understand the title of this writing task 2:

Unemployment is one of the most serious problems facing developed nations today. What are the advantages and/or disadvantages of reducing the working week to thirty-five hours?

This essay title asks the writer to provide the advantages and disadvantages of an idea or solution.

In your opening introduction, you should not immediately provide an opinion on the essay topic.

Instead, paraphrase two sentences, using our 3-step strategy.

First, read and understand the question:

Unemployment is one of the most serious problems for developed nations.

A 35-hour working week is a possible solution to unemployment.

Use a pen to highlight or underline the keywords in the question:

You can keep the same overall sentence structure and change keywords (making sure not to paraphrase a fixed expression without checking it carefully – for example, high unemployment cannot be changed to ‘high lack of jobs’ – it should be nationwide lack of jobs or a serious lack of jobs)

  • unemployment = lack of jobs
  • serious problems = grave issues
  • developed nations = industrialized countries
  • advantages and/or disadvantages = pros and/or cons
  • working week = professional schedule

Strategy 2: verb transformation

Let’s take the same essay topic example and apply our second strategy to it: verb transformation.

In this strategy, we:

Highlight the key verbs

Select new verbs or synonyms OR transform the verb

  • Facing = confronting
  • Reducing = lessening

Many countries are faced with the problem of unemployment.

Unemployment, which many countries are facing, is a serious problem in the modern world.

Strategy 3: sentence restructuring

Let’s apply our third strategy to the same essay topic. Sentence restructuring is using a new sentence format, based on the writing skill. In this example, the writer is expected to explain the advantages and/or disadvantages of an idea.

What are the advantages and/or disadvantages of reducing the working week to thirty-five hours?

The sentence can be paraphrased as

Let’s examine the pros and/or cons of …

Let’s look at the pros and/or cons of …

Okay! Let’s now put our 3 strategies together to write sentences with our new synonyms to create an introduction:

Lack of jobs is indeed a grave issue confronting industrialised countries at this time. Let’s examine the pros and/or cons of lessening professional schedules to thirty-five hours.

IELTS Writing Task 2: How to write a good introduction

Tip 1: Review the question, classify it, and highlight the keywords.

Tip 2: Write brief ideas by brainstorming the topic.

Tip 3: Select the best and easiest to explain ideas.

Tip 4: Write a general statement by paraphrasing, followed by your position.

Tip 5: Explain how you plan to develop your essay. Review your introduction.

Let’s try it again – Another example of paraphrasing for IELTS writing task 2

Using the techniques above, let’s apply them to a different question, this time about computer games in schools.

Firstly, we’ll take an example of a common essay writing skill, discussing causes and suggesting solutions. Let’s look at the example and then, apply our 3-step paraphrasing strategy to write an introduction.

Nowadays, many schools are using computer games to teach lessons to many children inside and outside the classroom. What are the negative and positive effects of using computer games in education and what can be done to minimise the negative effects?

2. Use a highlighter to highlight the keywords in the question:

IELTS Writing Task 2 Rough Copy

3. Select synonyms to replace those keywords.

  • nowadays = in modern times
  • schools = academic institutions
  • computer games = electronic activities and exercises
  • lessons = courses
  • inside and outside the classroom = at school and at home
  • negative and positive effects = good and bad impacts
  • education = academic development

Using Strategy 2: verb transformation

1. highlight the key verbs.

Nowadays, many schools are using computer games to teach lessons to many children inside and outside the classroom. What are the negative and positive effects of using computer games on education and what can be done to minimize the negative effects?

2. Select new verbs or synonyms or transform the verb

using = employing

teach = instruct

can be done = solution

minimise = reduce

Using strategy 3: sentence restructuring

Let’s apply our third strategy to the same essay topic. Sentence restructuring is the skills of applying a new sentence format, based on the writing objective required. In this example, the writer is expected to  outline  both the negative and positive effects of using computer games on education. The sentence

What are the negative and positive effects of using computer games on education?

Can be restructured into an answer format:

In this essay, I will outline the bad and good impacts of employing electronic activities and exercises on academic development.

The second question

What can be done to minimize the negative effects?

can be transformed to:

I will also examine solutions to reducing the bad impacts of electronic activities.

Okay! We are now ready to put our introduction together, using our 3-step strategy:

In modern times, many academic institutions are employing electronic activities and exercises to instruct courses to children both at school and at home. In this essay, I will outline the bad and good impacts of employing electronic activities and exercises on academic development.

I will also examine solutions to reducing the bad impacts of these electronic activities.

Two extra strategies:

Change the word form: Unemployment is a noun, but you can change it to an adjective as an example of paraphrasing.

Unemployment is a serious problem – Change the word form of unemployment from a noun to an adjective: There are many unemployed people in some countries.

In this way, you can change verbs to nouns, nouns to adjectives and vice versa.

Use referencing.

This means using which, that, it – very useful when you can’t think of another synonym!

Unemployment is growing in many countries, and this issue is becoming a challenge for many governments.

There is always a way to paraphrase, whatever the question. With more practice, you will be able to identify the best way to paraphrase that sounds natural and appropriate.

How to Paraphrase in IELTS Writing +Exercises

Click here to find out about our writers

        Paraphrasing is an essential skill for IELTS writing for task 1 and task 2. Many students often paraphrase inappropriately, over paraphrase , or do not realise some other paraphrasing options available to them. We hope this guide and practice exercises will help you to feel more confident paraphrasing  in your IELTS essays. 

What is paraphrasing and how can we use it well in an IELTS essay?

Paraphrasing is when we restate someone else’s ideas (text or speech) using our own words, while keeping the same meaning. In IELTS essays we need to practice paraphrasing to show flexibility and avoid repeating ourselves.   

We can paraphrase in our IELTS essays by:

✅  Changing the word order

✅  Using synonyms

✅ Changing the word form

Let’s have a look at a task 2 writing question, and look at the different options we have to paraphrase in your introduction using the methods above.

In many countries, schools have major problems with student behaviour. What do you think the causes of this are? What solutions would you suggest?

✅Changing the word order example

Original text

Paraphrased = The behaviour of students is a major problem for schools in many countries.

In this example, we have kept exactly the same words, but we have simply changed the word order. This is an effective use of paraphrasing especially if you cannot think of any accurate synonyms or different word forms. 

✅ An example using accurate synonyms

Paraphrased = In a number of nations , schools have  significant difficulties  with student behaviour.

In this example we have kept a similar structure to the question, but we have paraphrased accurately using the synonyms below:

A number of = Many Nations = Countries  Significant = Major  Difficulties = Problems  

✅ Changing the word form example

In many countries, student behaviour can be problematic for schools.

In this example we have changed the word form ‘problem’ (noun) to ‘problematic’ (adjective).

All of these examples show how we can effectivily paraphrase a background statement for the IELTS writing task 2. Of course you can combine these techniques:

Paraphrased = The behaviour of students is often challenging for a number of schools around the world.

The simplist solution is often to change the word order, and then if you feel confident try to use synonyms only if you feel are are accurate . Students we teach often think they need to paraphrase every word, which leads to many mistakes and a reduction in score .

Here is an example of inaccurate paraphrasing:

Of course, this example is exagerrated. However, it illustrates the inaccuarate use of synonyms we commonly see.

Let’s analyse why.

Republics/Countries = Some countries are republics such as ‘The People’s Republic of China’, or ‘The Republic of Ireland’. However, not all countries are republics.

Educational institutions/Schools = ‘An educational institution’ This a very open and broad term which would include universities and colleges. Sometimes we do use the word ‘school’ with universities like ‘The London School of Economics’. However, the word school used alone, nearly always refers to children and not adults.

Crucial/Major = The word ‘major’ shows the degree of something with its opposite being ‘minor’. However, ‘crucial’ has a different meaning and is very similar to the word ‘important’.

Drawbacks/Problems = The word ‘drawback’ is similar to the word ‘disadvantage’, and therefore is not an accuate synonym for the word ‘problem.

Scholars/Students = ‘Scholars’ are specialists within a field of study whereas ‘students’ is a wide term which can include children.

Manners/Behaviour = ‘Manners’ relates to  how  someone’s behaviour is acted out and this is usually in social situations:

‘He has bad table manners’

Behaviour is the general action of an individual.

‘He has a very irresponsible behaviour towards investing’

Paraphrasing Exercises for IELTS Writing

Have a look at these background statements which are taken from task 2 questions:

Exercise 1.1

There are lots of different styles of music in the world today.

How could you finish the sentence below to get the same meaning?

The world today______________________

The world today has lots of different styles of music.

Exercise 1.2

The world today has ____________ different styles of music.

Which two quantifiers below could replace ‘lots of’?

paraphrasing for ielts writing task 2

✅ a large number of      ✅ many

Quantifiers are quite easy to paraphrase. Please try our exercises on quantifiers in the main menu to become familiar with different options.

Exercise 1.3

The world today has a large number of __________ styles of music.

Which word could replace ‘ different’?

paraphrasing for ielts writing task 2

✅ diverse   

‘Diverse’ could be used. However, be aware that it is not an exact synonym for ‘different’

These two colours are ‘different’  🔵 🟡    . They are not ‘diverse’.

This picture has a lot of diverse colour:

paraphrasing for ielts writing task 2

We use diverse when there is a lot of variety.

• “She likes diverse music” • “Italy has a lot of diverse food”

Unless you are 100% certain that the synonym is correct and suitable, do not use them, otherwise it you will lose marks.

Exercise 1.4

There isn’t an exact synonym for the word ‘music’, but how could we change these words?

‘styles of music’

Try to change the form of the word ‘music’ into an adjective. Then, how could you say ‘styles of music’ differently?

✅ ‘musical styles’

paraphrasing for ielts writing task 2

These are just a few other options. There are plenty more variations.

Task 1 & 2: Paraphrasing

Learn how to paraphrase for IELTS and improve your writing score with simple techniques like synonyms and sentence combining. Start practising now!

Content Tags

Paraphrasing is essential in the IELTS test. It's a great skill to have for speaking and it's especially important for the writing section. This skill shows that you not only understand the question but that you can discuss it fully. If you write the original statement in your tasks, it may not be counted and it could hurt your word count.

What is paraphrasing?

Paraphrasing is writing the same information using different vocabulary, phrases, and structures.

How do I paraphrase?

Paraphrasing can be a daunting task. Here are some simple techniques that can help you paraphrase well in your writing:

Use synonyms

Synonyms are words that have the same meaning. Using synonyms is an easy way to create a new sentence that has the same meaning.

Some people think that parents should teach their children how to be good members of society.

Some individuals believe that parents should teach their children how to be a positive part of their community.

Make sure that the synonyms you are using have the same meaning, and not similar, as this could change the meaning of the sentence.

Some people believe that car emissions have a massive impact on the environment.

Incorrect: Some people believe that car emissions have a large impact on the environment.

Correct: Some people believe that car emissions have an enormous impact on the environment.

Be careful because some synonyms can be used in some situations but not in others.

The amount of fish consumed in the world has increased dramatically.

Incorrect: The amount of fish used in the world has increased dramatically.

The amount of fuel consumed when driving largely depends on the vehicle.

Correct: The amount of fuel used when driving largely depends on the vehicle. 

Also, grammar is important when using synonyms.

Wealth does not necessarily guarantee happiness.

Having money does not necessarily ensure satisfaction.

2. Change word order

Putting words and phrases in different places within the sentence is another simple way to paraphrase.

The percentage of stressed children in western society has increased by 15% in the last ten years.

In the last ten years, the percentage of stressed children in western society has increased by 15%.

Again, the meaning of the sentence may change when changing the word order.

Successful sports professionals earn more money than people in other important professions.

Incorrect: People in other important professions earn more money than successful sports professionals.

Correct: People in other important professions earn less money than successful sports professionals.

3. Change word form

Along with word order, you can change word form. This involves changing vocabulary from nouns to verbs, adjectives to adverbs, and so on.

Nowadays, crimes are becoming more violent.

Nowadays, crimes are being committed more violently.

Once again, grammar is important when changing word form.

The level of crime has increased noticeably in different ways.

Incorrect: There was an increase noticeably in the level of crime in different ways.  

Correct: The increase in the level of crime has been noticeable in different ways.

4. Active to Passive

Changing your sentences from active to passive voice can be more difficult than the other techniques; however, it shows a variety in your grammar structures.

Active: Technological advances have replaced people in the workforce.

Passive: People in the workforce have been replaced by technological advances.

Make sure you know how to change the structure of a sentence before trying to use the passive voice.

Children today play very violent video games.

Incorrect: Children today are played by very violent video games.

Correct: Very violent video games are played by children today.

5. Combine sentences

The ability to combine sentences gives you more opportunity to change word order as well as shows off more variety in your writing.

Some people believe that animals should have the same rights as humans. Other people believe that animals should be used for various needs such as food and research.

Some people believe that animals should have the same rights as humans, while others believe they should be used for various needs such as food and research.

When combining sentences, make sure that the transitions you are using are correct.

Some people believe that logging is a serious problem. They believe that it may lead to the extinction of animal life.

Incorrect: Some people believe that logging is a serious problem, while others believe that it may lead to the extinction of animal life.

Correct: Some people believe that logging is a serious problem and it may lead to the extinction of animal life.

Practice using these techniques in your writing to become more comfortable with paraphrasing. Paraphrasing can lead to better writing, which in turn, can lead to a better writing score.

Why is Paraphrasing Important in IELTS Writing Task 2?

Effective paraphrasing helps you avoid repetition, showcase a wider vocabulary, and demonstrate your understanding of complex ideas. Examiners are looking for your ability to manipulate language and present arguments in a sophisticated and academic manner.

Techniques for Effective Paraphrasing

Here are some proven techniques to help you paraphrase effectively in your IELTS Writing Task 2 essays:

1. Use Synonyms

One of the simplest ways to paraphrase is by replacing key words with synonyms. However, be cautious! Ensure the synonym fits the context and maintains the original meaning of the sentence.

Original: The government should invest more in public transportation . Paraphrased: Authorities should allocate more funds to mass transit systems .

2. Change the Word Form

Experiment with different word forms (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) to express the same idea.

Original: Pollution is a serious problem in many cities. Paraphrased: Many urban areas are heavily polluted .

3. Restructure the Sentence

Change the sentence structure while preserving the original meaning. You can use different grammatical structures:

  • Active to Passive: Original: Technology has transformed communication. Paraphrased: Communication has been transformed by technology.
  • Changing word order: Original: Education is crucial for economic development. Paraphrased: For economic development, education is crucial.

4. Use Different Phrases or Idioms

If possible, replace a common phrase with an idiom or a more academic expression.

Original: The cost of living is increasing rapidly . Paraphrased: The cost of living is skyrocketing .

Example from an IELTS Essay Prompt

Let’s look at an example using a real IELTS essay prompt:

Prompt: Some people believe that the government should provide free housing for everyone. Others believe that it is not the government’s responsibility to provide housing. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Paraphrased: There is debate surrounding the role of government in providing accommodation. While some advocate for universal free housing, others contend that it falls outside the scope of government responsibility.

Tips for Success

  • Don’t Overuse It: While paraphrasing is important, don’t try to paraphrase every single word. Focus on key terms and phrases.
  • Maintain Clarity: Your primary goal is to communicate clearly. Avoid using overly complex language or synonyms that might confuse the reader.
  • Practice Regularly: The more you practice paraphrasing, the easier it will become. Incorporate it into your daily writing exercises.

Mastering the art of paraphrasing is essential for achieving a high score in IELTS Writing Task 2. By using a variety of techniques, you can effectively demonstrate your lexical resource and grammatical range, impressing the examiner and boosting your overall band score. Remember to practice regularly and focus on clarity to communicate your ideas effectively.

IELTS Vocabulary 1 Video Transcript

Hi, I’m Eliot the IELTS expert from Magoosh, and today we have a little bit of a challenge for you. By the end of this presentation here, we’re going to ask you to write a comment below where you can submit an answer to a question we’re going to pose to you. And we’re gonna offer to evaluate that, to give you some feedback on it, okay? So what we’re thinking about in this assignment that we have for you is task 2 essays and how to write good introductions for a task 2 essay prompt. Okay, so what goes into a good introduction? Well, there are two basic parts you always need to have in a good IELTS task 2 introduction. First, you need to introduce the topic of the essay to your reader, all right? So it has to be very clear what the essay’s going to be about. And then you have to write a thesis statement where you give your perspective on that topic. You sort of give your opinion, if an opinion is required, or at least your perspective. What do you think about the topic that’s been posed to you in your task 2 question? This is difficult to do, and many of my students have trouble doing it, probably for a lot of reasons. One is that there’s a lot of pressure on your task 2 essay, right? It’s worth two thirds of the points for your writing score the IELTS, so that’s a lot of pressure right there, but also time is so limited, right? You only have 40 minutes to write your task 2 essay, so you don’t have much time to brainstorm. It’s very important to get really good at writing these task 2 introductions, to get started on your essay so that you can save time. And that you have enough time to write your body paragraphs then, and hit your word minimum for your task 2 essay. So the skill we’re working on to do this is to do a really good job of paraphrasing the language from the prompt, translating the language into your own introduction. So what we’re going to do in the assignment that we’re gonna give you here on this video, I’m gonna pose a question for you, a sample task 2 question. And what I want you to do is to do your best to use your own words to paraphrase the language from the prompt and write your own task 2 introduction for the question that we’ve posed. Okay, so you can see the question that we’re gonna be thinking about is, if you could change your home town to make it a better place, what changes would you make? How would these changes improve your home town? This is a sample IELTS task 2 question that’s what I call a thematic question, there are a few questions that they ask you in a row and you need to answer all of them in your essay. So this is a challenging type to answer. What you should do as you think about writing your introduction is to make sure you focus on what is the topic. How can I explain what the topic of this essay is going to be? In just a couple of words, we could say the topic is about your hometown, or making improvements on your hometown. Well, put that into your own language as you begin your introduction. And then your thesis statement should come next, okay, so what’s your thesis going to be for this essay type? Well, the specific improvements you plan to make to your hometown to make it better would be the thing to focus on in your thesis. So think about those things, brainstorm, what are you going to propose are the changes you could make to your hometown to make them better? Those specific things should be in your thesis. So I want you to try this out okay? I want you to think about the question, sit down, pretend you’re about to write a task 2 essay, and then go ahead and write that introduction only. And put it in the comments below this video and we will give you feedback, let you know how you did and what could be improved in your task 2 introduction. So do your best and I look forward to seeing what you come up with for this and, we’ll give you some responses about how well you did.

If I had a chance to modify my city to improve the way of living for the people, I would like to make a few alterations in the traffic rules. I think this would be the most important amendment for every one. Furthermore, I would like to improve the underground sewage system which is essential during the rainy season. This change will certainly help the city roads from getting over flooded during heavy rains.

How To Paraphrase in IELTS Writing

How to paraphrase in IELTS writing and speaking

What is paraphrasing in IELTS?

The use of paraphrasing in IELTS is what allows you to show that you have a sufficient range of vocabulary to cope with the task, whether it is in speaking or writing.

Paraphrasing in IELTS is the skill of being able to read or hear one or more sentences, and then write or say a sentence back that means the same thing only by using mostly different words and different grammatical constructions. The IELTS examiners love it!

This paraphrasing skill is used extensively in writing IELTS introductions in particular. One part of paraphrasing is using similar meaning words, these are known as synonyms, different words with the same meaning.

If you’re aiming for an IELTS band seven, then the IELTS band marking critieria state that you need to show a ‘ sufficient range of vocabulary ’. If you’re aiming for a band eight, then this changes to a ‘ wide range of vocabulary’ .

IELTS paraphrasing examples

I am going to show you exactly how to paraphrase in IELTS writing and speaking so you can show a wide range of vocabulary to the examiner and increase your band score. 

You can either watch the video below or read the article, the information is the same:

You can get my full video course covering every part of the test here!

How Do You Paraphrase For IELTS?

(how to paraphrase the question in ielts writing), method 1: the simple synonym sauce.

The first and most obvious way we can show that we have a good range of vocabulary in the IELTS writing tasks is to use synonyms for the words that we are given in the question.

The words we substitute in are simply words that have a similar or the same meaning as the word they are replacing. We do this particularly when we are writing introductions to our IELTS essays in IELTS writing task 2.

You can practice using synonyms by using an online thesaurus. When you are doing practice essays, you can simply look up a word and see what other words have a similar or same meaning. Many of my students then like to keep their own written record of the synonyms they are using as IELTS topics often repeat themselves.

Let’s just have a quick look at synonyms for the word environment, which often occurs in essay questions, as provided by synonym.com and it gave me these words: ecology, habitat, geographical area settings, surrounding situation, circumstances and background.

The words ‘ ecology, habitats and geographical area ’ are more suitable to be used when we’re replacing the word environment, when it’s being used to talk in relation to animals .

Other words, such as ‘ setting, surrounding situations, circumstances and background ’ are talking about general conditions that are not related to animals and so would not fit into our essay well.

So, we have to be quite careful that we don’t use synonyms in the wrong context, nevertheless it is the easiest way to paraphrase successfully.

IELTS paraphrasing exercises

  Method 2: Paraphrase to Perfection!

Using synonyms all the time can look a bit unnatural, but if we change the order in which we use them, then it can make it look more natural. 

Here’s another example question: 

Some people believe that getting a degree from university is the best way to guarantee getting a job. Others believe it would be best to go straight into work and get experience. Discuss both sides and give your opinion. 

So, if you were writing the introduction to this essay, normally you would first paraphrase the question. So you could write:

Certain people think that graduating from higher education is the optimum way to assure getting a top job. 

‘some people’ = ‘certain people’ 

‘graduating from higher education’ = ‘getting a degree from a university’ 

‘best way to guarantee getting a job’ = ‘optimum way to assure getting a top job.’

  That is how you can use synonyms, the examiner will see that and it’s very obvious to them. However, we could also switch the order of the sentence around as well. So it reads like this. 

The optimum way to assure getting a top job is by graduating from higher education, according to certain people.  

This shows that we can be flexible with how we write and shows that we have a good command and control of grammar. In my full course, we will cover more aspects of grammar such as complex sentences, common mistakes, and tenses – take a look .

How do you paraphrase

Method 3: Fun with formations!

This next way of paraphrasing is to change the word formations that are used, you might read the question and one word might stand out to you that you think you could use a different formation for of that word. 

In this question here, for example:

Many small shops are closing as they are unable to compete with large supermarkets in the area here.

The word competes might stand out to you and you immediately perhaps think of the word competition so we could simply try to use that form of the word along with the synonyms as well. 

So, next you might come up with the sentence. 

A large number of less well-known outlets are shutting due to competition from established superstores in the locality. 

Now we’ve got synonyms and we’ve got ‘competition’ in there as a change in word formation. 

We could also go one step further and change the order of the sentence as well. It could read:

Competition from established superstores in the locality is forcing a large number of less well-known outlets to shut down. 

As you can see, what we’re starting to do is mix together different ways to paraphrase , which is really a very powerful way to impress the examiner. You’ll find more like this in my full course here . 

What is paraphrasing in IELTS?

Method 4: Antonym Soup!

One more thing we can do is to use antonyms. An antonym is basically a word that has the opposite meaning to another word.

So, synonyms mean similar or the same antonyms mean the opposite. So again, for the same question, we might have the same sentence. 

But we might choose to use antonyms. Instead of using a large number, we might simply say fewer. 

So ‘fewer, less well-known outlets can remain open. 

Obviously, ‘remain open’ is an antonym for shutting. So, by using antonyms, we can keep the meaning the same, but once more show off different vocabulary that we are able to use.

Method 5: The Native Speaker Way of Paraphrasing 

Now, the final way to paraphrase, and I would call this the native speaker way, because it’s what I would do and what other native speakers would probably do. This is what band 8 and 9 candidates should be aiming to do because it’s just a very natural technique. 

Firstly, imagine if you were paraphrasing in your own language, just think how easy it would be. You would just look at a sentence and just say it in different words.

You wouldn’t even be thinking about how you were going to break it down or what grammar you were going to use, or even what words you were going to say! 

You would just come out with a sentence that made perfect sense and have the same meaning. And that is the native speaker way to paraphrase. 

Now, have a go at paraphrasing this question below using the native speaker method:

how do you paraphrase in IELTS writing?

So, there’s lots of natural language in there, some collocations, some synonyms from, but they’re not really deliberate. It’s just what naturally came out of my mouth as a native speaker. And when you get to this level, you might be able to do something similar. It’s what you can aim for.

Final Words of Advice for IELTS Paraphrasing

And finally, just a few words of advice. Now, remember, we are looking at synonyms and paraphrasing because we want to show the examiner that we have a sufficient range of vocabulary to answer the question.

It is important that we do this, but remember, your essay is marked on many different things and not just on the vocabulary. So, don’t get fixated on this.

Don’t spend too long thinking about the synonyms or paraphrases that you’re trying to use, you still need to write good, solid body paragraphs. You still need a good conclusion and you need time to be checking that as well. So, yes, pay attention to paraphrasing, but don’t focus on it so much that it disrupts the rest of your essay.

And the best way to develop your paraphrasing skills reading. Reading over the medium to long term. Exposing yourself to different word sets in different contexts gives you the experience to be able to know how words fit together and replace other words. 

So keep reading my friends! That’s the main thing you need to do.

Final, final IELTS Paraphrasing Tips!

Don’t go over the top, it is very difficult to find a synonym for some words and you won’t always be able to do so. Instead, you could try a group of words, so, rather than saying ‘adult’, you might say ‘grown up’.

However, if you can’t think of a paraphrase of synonym then don’t be afraid to use the words in the question. It is more important to be accurate with your word choice then to try lots of different synonyms. Always c hoose the words that you know to be 100% correct , in that way you will reduce your mistakes and increase your band score.

How can I improve my paraphrasing? With IELTS paraphrasing exercises of course! Here we go…

IELTS Paraphrasing Exercise 1

To practice this technique, ideally you will need a partner. All you need to do is to select a text related to any of the 14 main topic areas that often come up in IELTS.

This could be from a newspaper, journal or book. Next, print out the text and then with a black marker pen or using tip-ex remove random key words from a text. The article can be as short or as long as you like.

You might end up with something like this article from the BBC web-site:

For Your Partner To Complete:

A new study reveals how crocodiles’ eyes are fine-tuned for lurking at the water __________ to watch for prey.

The “fovea”, a patch of tightly packed receptors that _________ sharp vision, forms a horizontal streak instead of the usual circular spot.

This allows the animal to scan the ___________ without moving its head, according to Australian researchers.

They also found differences in the cone cells, which ____________ colours, between saltwater and freshwater crocs.

Swap articles with your partner and try and complete the missing words. Ask yourself what type of word is missing ; is it an adjective, noun, verb or adverb? Once you have identified this, have a guess at what word might fit.

Following this, view the completed text and see if you have selected the same word, or a word that is a synonym (a word with the same meaning).

The more synonyms and correct guesses you manage to get the better. Doing this increases your synonym power which will have a positive impact on virtually all parts of the IELTS test.

The missing words in this case are: surface (noun), delivers (verb), shoreline (noun), senses (verb).

IELTS Paraphrasing Exercise 2

Select an article you have read recently that you have found difficult. Ideally this will be on a typical IELTS related topic.

Now, write or type out 20 words that you found difficult on to pieces of small card. Place the cards face down in the middle of the table in a pile.

Turn over the first card and try to make a sentence using a synonym for that word, or if you can’t use a synonym by using a group of words (paraphrase) instead.

Immediately check your answers online with a synonym generator or with your teacher or a study partner.

If you get a particular word wrong then put the card to the bottom of the pile and come back to it again later . If you are correct place it in a new pile.

You can alternate ‘goes’ with a partner’ and score points in this manner.

Alternatively, with all of the cards face up, candidates could say a synonym or paraphrase for one of the words and a partner guesses which word it is, again with a competitive element.

Advanced students could then spread the cards face down in front of them and then summarise the entire text verbally being careful to use synonyms or paraphrases of the words only.

This could then be written up from memory as a summary task to consolidate the new vocabulary.

IELTS Paraphrasing in the Reading Test

Once you get good at synonyms and paraphrasing you may start to realise how IELTS reading papers are actually written.

Basically, an article is selected and the questions that test your understanding of the text are written.

However, examiners cannot just use the same words in the text, as that would make it too easy. So, instead they ask the questions using different words, synonyms or paraphrases.

Once you have spotted this pattern and practised a great deal as above, you will find the IELTS test gets a lot easier.

Use The 3 R’s For IELTS Synonym and Paraphrasing Success

As you are doing exercises such as those above, you need to:

Record – Make  note of all the new words you are learning. Include a definition, example sentences, synonyms and a personalised picture to help make it memorable.

Review – Set aside a specific time each day when you can remind your self of the new words. Ten minutes a day is better than 70 minutes once a week. Regular practice is key.

Re-test – Test yourself to see how well you are doing and identify areas of weakness. Why not have a competition with a study partner for added motivation.

You could use a software service such as Quizlet to help you do this.

Doing this will give you the maximum chance of remembering all your synonyms and paraphrases and ultimately improve your IELTS band score!

 OK, that’s enough about IELTS synonyms and paraphrasing. I hope we got a lot out of this article. And please remember where you’re going.

Preparation for the IELTS Exam

Paraphrasing by changing sentence structure

Useful paraphrasing technique in ielts writing task 2..

One of the most important skills in IELTS writing is being able to paraphrase. This means to change the wording or the sentence structure but retain the same meaning.

It’s a challenge for many students doing IELTS to get used to this skill as you need to have a wide vocabulary and know how to use synonyms correctly.

There are 2 main ways to paraphrase. This can be done either with synonyms or by changing the structure of the sentence while adjusting the word-formation. In the writing section, you need to use this skill when starting the introduction of your essay. Let’s take a look at an example below.

Example IELTS writing question

‘An increasing number of people are buying what they need online’

Paraphrased with synonyms:

‘ A growing number of individuals are purchasing what they require on the internet ‘

I didn’t paraphrase every word here. In fact, you do not need to paraphrase everything because sometimes you may not be able to find an accurate synonym.

Increasing – growing 

Buying – purchasing , online – the internet, people – individuals, paraphrased without synonyms:.

 ‘The number of people who buy what they need online is on the increase ‘

In this second example, I have used the same words but changed the form and also moved the sentence structure around. This is a very good way to paraphrase if your range of synonyms is limited.

(gerund) buying – (relative pronoun + verb) who buy (gerund) increasing – (noun phrase) on the increase

  • An increasing number of people are buying what they need online
  • A growing number of people are purchasing what they require on the internet
  • The number of people who buy what they need online is on the increase

All three of these above sentences convey the same meaning. This skill needs to be developed and is necessary to get to Band 7 or more in writing task 2. It is better for your vocabulary score if you can use synonyms as well as changing the structure of the sentence. The meaning must stay the same though.

Let’s try another 2 examples without using synonyms.

‘Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others, however, think that change is always a good thing. ‘
‘Some people find it preferable to avoid change and always do the same things in their lives, others think that it is good to go through changes .’

In this case, I have added collocations such as ‘find it preferable’ and ‘go through changes’.  These are not synonyms, I have kept the same word but changed the form and used collocation. I have slightly changed the sentence structure too.

‘Doctors should be responsible for educating their patients about how to improve their health.’
‘Educating patients about improving their health should be the responsibility of Doctors.’

I have changed the structure of the sentences and reversed it around and made subtle changes to the word forms as below.

(verb) Improve – (gerund) Improving ,  (adjective) Responsible – (noun phrase) The responsibility of.

What would this look like in the introduction of an essay?

Task question:.

‘Doctors should be responsible for educating their patients about how to improve their health. To what extent do you agree or disagree?’

Introduction:

It is argued that educating patients about improving their health should be the responsibility of Doctors. I completely agree with this because many people need advice from a medical expert about healthy eating and exercise which is crucial for preventing disease.

Blue = Paraphrased the task question Purple = Thesis statement with my specific opinion.

Another way of writing this is by adding synonyms (in red), this introduction below would be much better:

Task Question: ‘Doctors should be responsible for educating their patients about how to improve their health. To what extent do you agree or disagree?’ Full Introduction with synonyms: It is argued that it ought to be the responsibility of Doctors to instruct patients about improving their well-being. I completely agree because many people need advice from a medical expert about healthy eating and exercise which is crucial for preventing disease.

Paraphrasing also shows up in the reading and listening parts of the IELTS exam. This is a very important skill to work on, and if you can paraphrase with your speaking then you can get a good score in vocabulary.

Any questions? leave a comment below.

2 thoughts on “paraphrasing by changing sentence structure”.

can we write specific opinion in the thesis statement?

yes, the main part of a thesis statement is a specific opinion, especially if it is an opinion essay.

Globalization has Both Advantages and Disadvantages – IELTS Writing Task 2

Globalization has Both Advantages and Disadvantages – IELTS Writing Task 2

Kasturika Samanta

November 3, 2023

Advantage Disadvantage essays, like ‘Globalization has Both Advantages and Disadvantages’, are an integral part of IELTS Writing Task 2. Fortunately, it is easy to identify due to the mention of the terms ‘advantages’, ‘disadvantages’, ‘benefits’, ‘drawbacks’ or other similar terms in the topic itself.

Usually, in this kind of essay, you have to note down the benefits and drawbacks of a particular aspect, like studying abroad, tourism, school systems, etc. As a result, the structure of the essay is comparatively easy to frame as all you need is four paragraphs – Introduction, Body Paragraph 1 (advantages), Body Paragraph 2 (disadvantages) and Conclusion.

We will have a look at an advantage and disadvantage essay – Globalization has Both Advantages and Disadvantages- with Band 9 Sample Answers accompanied by vocabulary which will not only boost your IELTS preparation but also enhance your word bank.

Let’s have a look at the  advantage and disadvantage essay  – Globalization has both advantages and disadvantages.

Sample Answer 1

Here’s a detailed outline for the Globalization has Both Advantages and Disadvantages – IELTS Writing Task 2:

Advantages and Disadvantages Essay

Introduction

  • Paraphrase the topic sentence.
  • State what the following paragraphs will contain and mention your opinion.

Body Paragraphs

  • The advantages of globalization include more employment opportunities, availability of more products to choose from and cheaper products in general.
  • The disadvantages of globalization include the decline in the quality of products due to outsourcing and the competition faced by local businesses.

Summarize the topic and emphasize the view in the end.

Band 9 Sample Answer 1

Globalization has been one of the most seminal phenomenons that humanity has experienced. This process of making the world more close-knit has been proliferating as we proceed into the 21st century. However, this occurrence has a positive and a negative side like any other. In the following paragraphs, I will discuss both the pros and cons of globalization and why I believe the gains are far greater than the losses.

First of all, we must acknowledge the fact that globalization has led to a dramatic increase in the employment rate and job opportunities worldwide. Since multinational corporations are expanding their operations day by day, more jobs are created than ever before. Secondly, an individual now has the privilege of purchasing superior merchandise produced in a different part of the world due to a rise in imports and exports globally. Thirdly, the exchange of different aspects of cultures worldwide has brought people close to each other, creating a single human community. Moreover, consumers can access such commodities without paying huge markups thanks to more liberal tariffs and tax obligations.

However, globalization also brings some drawbacks to the table, and they are notable enough to engender concerning issues. For instance, global corporations are able to outsource their manufacturing activities to developing countries due to cheap labour costs. It enables the production of low-quality products which, although cheap, may not be satisfactory. Apart from that, the rise of franchises also poses a threat to indigenous businesses in nations where the locals are struggling to compete with major organizations.

Finally, I would conclude by saying that we all have experienced the benefits and the shortcomings of globalization, and the degree of either one may vary from country to country. Even so, I believe that on a universal scale, the benefits have surpassed the disadvantages.

Band 9 Vocabulary for Sample Essay 1

Meaning: strongly influencing later developments. Eg: Einstein’s seminal work on physics was ground-breaking.

Meaning: bound together, closer Eg: This was a very close-knit family.

  • Proliferating

Meaning: escalating, multiplying Eg: Computerized databases are proliferating fast.

Meaning: sudden and striking Eg: The dramatic increase in crime was concerning.

  • Merchandise

Meaning: products, goods Eg: He bought all the merchandise in the shop.

Meaning: the amount added to the cost price of goods Eg: This lipstick has a markup of 200%.

Meaning: a tax imposed on imported goods Eg: The government has increased the tariff on exotic items.

Meaning: remarkable, significant Eg: He had made some notable changes to his attire.

Meaning: cause or give rise to Eg: Such actions will only engender the king’s downfall.

Meaning: native, local Eg: The indigenous people of the Amazon are mostly tribal.

Sample Answer 2

Check out the detailed outline for Sample Answer 2 of the Globalization has Both Advantages and Disadvantages – IELTS Writing Task 2:

  • Globalization, which integrates the whole world into one body through the advances of technology, transportation and communication has both advantages and disadvantages.
  • The advantages of globalization include economic and cultural growth, access to goods, technological advancement and increased job opportunities.
  • The disadvantages of globalization include income inequalities, disruption of local culture, environmental concerns and social disruption.

Band 9 Sample Answer 2

Globalization, the process of increased interconnectedness and interdependence among countries, has multitude of advantages and disadvantages in our rapidly changing world. As we live in the twenty-first century, this constant evolution and ability to adjust to new resources has become more demanding. The following paragraphs will go over the positive and negative facets of globalization and support my opinion that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

One of the most consequential advantages of globalization is economic growth. By breaking down trade barriers and allowing for the flow of goods and services across borders, it has fueled monetary expansion in many countries. This leads to increased job prospects, downsized poverty, and ameliorated standards of living. Moreover, globalization also offers consumers access to a wider variety of goods and services. From exotic foods to cutting-edge technology, people can enjoy the benefits of products and innovations from around the world. In addition, cultural exchange is a crucial advantage of globalization. It stimulates the sharing of ideas, customs, and traditions, fostering a richer, more diverse global culture. Furthermore, technological advancement is another pivotal benefit. As ideas and knowledge spread across borders, innovation accelerates, leading to momentous breakthroughs in diverse fields.

However, globalization also has its drawbacks. Firstly, income inequality is a major concern. While it may drive financial growth, the benefits are not always evenly distributed. The wealthy often reap more advantages than the marginalized, exacerbating income disparities within and between countries. Secondly, cultural erosion is another downside, as the homogenizing influence of globalization can imperil local customs and languages. Lastly, environmental concerns arise from overconsumption and resource depletion, as globalization fuels an insatiable demand for goods.

From my perspective, the benefits of economic growth, improved access to products and ideas, and cultural exchange overpower the challenges it poses. Therefore, it is vital to manage the adverse effects of globalization while capitalizing on its benefits to create a more equitable and sustainable global society.

Meaning: one side or aspect of something Eg: He understood the different facets of life after his family left him.

Meaning: to reduce in size Eg: The company downsized its employees during the recession.

  • Ameliorated 

Meaning: to make better or more tolerable Eg: Shane’s condition ameliorated when he got a job.

  • Cutting-edge

Meaning: something that gives someone or something an advantage over others Eg: With cutting-edge technology, we should protect our environment rather than destroy it.

Meaning: to encourage the development or growth of ideas or feelings Eg: They could feel the fostering friendship among the roommates.

Meaning: central and important Eg: The separation of his parents had a pivotal effect on his life.

Meaning: having great or lasting importance Eg: Giving birth to a baby girl was a momentous point in their lives.

  • Exacerbating 

Meaning: to make something that is already bad even worse Eg: This accident worsened the exacerbating condition of the Railways.

  • Homogenizing 

Meaning: to become uniform in structure or composition throughout Eg: We had a homogenizing community and included different types of workers.

  • Insatiable 

Meaning: always wanting more of something; not able to be satisfied Eg: The child’s insatiable thirst for knowledge led him to win the prestigious scholarship at such a young age.

Sample Answer 7.5+

The deterioration of quality of life in many large cities across the globe is a pressing issue demanding urgent attention. A confluence of factors, ranging from rapid urbanization to environmental degradation , has contributed to this decline. However, with effective measures and a proactive approach, cities can strive to improve the living standards of their inhabitants.

One of the primary causes of this decline is the rapid pace of urbanization. As populations surge in cities, infrastructure struggles to keep pace, leading to overcrowding, inadequate housing, and strained public services. Limited public transportation systems, for example, result in longer commute times, increased traffic congestion, and higher stress levels. Furthermore, the influx of people often leads to a shortage of affordable housing, forcing residents into cramped and substandard living conditions. Moreover, the environmental impact of urban sprawl cannot be overlooked. Pollution from vehicular traffic, industrial emissions, and construction projects contributes to air and water contamination, negatively impacting public health. Increased noise levels and a lack of green spaces exacerbate the problem, making cities less livable and impacting the mental well-being of residents.

To address this issue, a multifaceted approach is necessary. Firstly, sustainable urban planning is crucial. Cities should focus on developing efficient public transportation networks, promoting walking and cycling, and creating green spaces to improve air quality and provide recreational opportunities. Investing in affordable housing initiatives and implementing stringent building regulations can also help alleviate overcrowding and improve living conditions. Secondly, addressing environmental concerns is paramount . This involves investing in renewable energy sources, reducing carbon emissions, and implementing stricter regulations on industrial pollution. Encouraging the use of eco-friendly transportation options, promoting green building practices, and fostering a culture of environmental awareness among residents are essential steps towards creating a more sustainable urban environment.

In conclusion, the decline in the quality of life in many large cities is a complex problem stemming from rapid urbanization and environmental degradation. To mitigate these challenges, a comprehensive approach encompassing sustainable urban planning, environmental protection, and community engagement is necessary. By taking proactive measures to address these issues, cities can strive to create a more livable and enjoyable environment for their residents, ensuring a better future for all.

Sự suy giảm chất lượng cuộc sống trong nhiều thành phố lớn trên toàn cầu là một vấn đề cấp bách đòi hỏi sự chú ý khẩn cấp. Sự kết hợp của nhiều yếu tố, từ đô thị hóa nhanh chóng đến suy thoái môi trường, đã góp phần vào sự suy giảm này. Tuy nhiên, với những biện pháp hiệu quả và một cách tiếp cận chủ động, các thành phố có thể cố gắng cải thiện mức sống của người dân.

Một trong những nguyên nhân chính của sự suy giảm này là tốc độ đô thị hóa nhanh chóng. Khi dân số tăng đột biến trong các thành phố, cơ sở hạ tầng chật vật theo kịp, dẫn đến tình trạng quá tải, thiếu chỗ ở và các dịch vụ công cộng bị căng thẳng. Ví dụ, hệ thống giao thông công cộng hạn chế dẫn đến thời gian di chuyển dài hơn, ùn tắc giao thông gia tăng và mức độ căng thẳng cao hơn. Hơn nữa, sự đổ bộ của người dân thường dẫn đến tình trạng thiếu nhà ở giá rẻ, buộc cư dân phải sống trong những điều kiện chật chội và không đạt chuẩn. Hơn nữa, tác động môi trường của sự đô thị hóa lan rộng không thể bỏ qua. Ô nhiễm từ giao thông xe cộ, khí thải công nghiệp và các dự án xây dựng góp phần gây ô nhiễm không khí và nước, ảnh hưởng tiêu cực đến sức khỏe cộng đồng. Mức độ tiếng ồn tăng lên và thiếu không gian xanh làm trầm trọng thêm vấn đề, khiến các thành phố ít dễ sống hơn và ảnh hưởng đến sức khỏe tinh thần của cư dân.

Để giải quyết vấn đề này, cần có một cách tiếp cận đa diện. Đầu tiên, quy hoạch đô thị bền vững là điều cần thiết. Các thành phố nên tập trung vào việc phát triển mạng lưới giao thông công cộng hiệu quả, khuyến khích đi bộ và đạp xe, và tạo ra các không gian xanh để cải thiện chất lượng không khí và cung cấp cơ hội giải trí. Đầu tư vào các sáng kiến nhà ở giá rẻ và thực hiện các quy định xây dựng nghiêm ngặt cũng có thể giúp giảm bớt tình trạng quá tải và cải thiện điều kiện sống. Thứ hai, giải quyết các vấn đề môi trường là điều tối quan trọng. Điều này bao gồm đầu tư vào các nguồn năng lượng tái tạo, giảm lượng khí thải carbon và thực hiện các quy định nghiêm ngặt hơn về ô nhiễm công nghiệp. Khuyến khích sử dụng các phương tiện giao thông thân thiện với môi trường, thúc đẩy các thực hành xây dựng xanh và nuôi dưỡng một văn hóa nhận thức về môi trường trong số cư dân là những bước cần thiết hướng tới việc tạo ra một môi trường đô thị bền vững hơn.

Kết luận, sự suy giảm chất lượng cuộc sống trong nhiều thành phố lớn là một vấn đề phức tạp bắt nguồn từ đô thị hóa nhanh chóng và suy thoái môi trường. Để giảm nhẹ những thách thức này, cần có một cách tiếp cận toàn diện bao gồm quy hoạch đô thị bền vững, bảo vệ môi trường và sự tham gia của cộng đồng. Bằng cách chủ động giải quyết các vấn đề này, các thành phố có thể cố gắng tạo ra một môi trường dễ sống hơn và thú vị hơn cho cư dân của họ, đảm bảo một tương lai tốt đẹp hơn cho tất cả mọi người.

8 August 2024, IELTS Exam, Writing Task 2, Evening Slot, INDIA

Q. Many people leave their home country and go to other countries to live and work. Why do you think it is happening? Do the advantages of this trend outweighs its disadvantages?

A common phenomenon is the growing trend of people moving from their home country to foreign countries in search of better employment opportunities and permanent residence. While there are many factors driving this migration, I argue that this shift is predominantly beneficial.

Several factors contribute to the decision of many people to settle in more developed countries. One important factor is the desire for a higher standard of living. People often believe that by moving abroad they can gain access to superior job prospects, better health facilities and better educational opportunities. Another driving factor is the desire to ensure the safety and well-being of themselves and their families. For instance, insecurity in many underdeveloped countries encourages people to seek safer environments elsewhere. Moreover, political instability in their home country can undermine prospects for a stable life, forcing people to choose safer environments abroad.

The decision to move to another country for work and permanent residence brings several favorable results. First, such a move gives people the opportunity to immerse themselves in a new language and culture, promoting personal growth and enriching their life experiences. Secondly, people working abroad can make a significant contribution to the economic development of their country through remittances. This financial support plays a crucial role in boosting the economy of their home country.

To conclude, although the motives for international migration vary, I argue that this trend brings overall benefits to both individuals and society as a whole.

IELTS Writing Task 2 Paraphrasing Practice 2

Paraphrasing Practice Exercise 2

The aim of this lesson is paraphrase the paragraph by using the words given below. This is a great practice for IELTS writing task 2. It is all about choosing the right words.  The paragraph below is based on a writing task 2 topic that has been reported this month, May 2017: Companies Sponsoring Sports Events.

This is the second paraphrasing practice exercise for writing task 2. If you want to see the first one, click here:   Paraphrasing Practice Exercise 1

Paraphrase the words in this paragraph using the words in the box below. Only paraphrase a word if you are sure it is appropriate to do so.

It is sometimes thought that it is beneficial for companies to sponsor sports events through advertising. By doing this, extra funding, which is often lacking, can be raised to support sports events and ensure that they continue to run. Furthermore, companies can also contribute clothing or equipment which supports the event, teams and players.

Paraphrasing Options:

You must write the paragraph above again by paraphrasing it using the words below. You do not need to use all the words. You must decide which words to use and which words not to use.

some citizens believe       /        some people believe       /      advantage       /   good       /      advantageous        /       industries          /  businesses          / sporting occasions        /      matches   /     when we do this        /    in this way      /      extra cash     /    a lack of      /      in short supply        /   sports matches   /    And      /     industries    /    businesses    /    give      /    donate        /   attire  /  groups     /      performers    /   coordinate

occasionally it is believed that sponsoring sports events via advertising is good for companies .this not only provides extra money to the sports events which they are always deficient of but also makes sure that these events will keep on running .In addition , providing merchandise or equipment is another way companies can help teams and players.

Hi Liz, I would like you to know that your site has been so helpful to me as I prepare for my IELTS exam on May 30th.

I just have one question about paraphrasing as I understood, you need to paraphrase and find the synonyms for almost all of the words of IELTS question task 2 per your advice in your lesson in “background and thesis statement”; however, in this practice test, you only replaced the synonym of few words. Hence, which one should we follow in writing our introduction in writing test task 2? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

' src=

You do not need to replace almost all the words. You paraphrase those words that are possible to paraphrase and then write the sentence again your way. This often means changing the grammar and sentence structure.

' src=

Hi Liz, After I bought your book about ideas, I found that you did not include the question for every topic. I found this paragraph here by searching on google and it is matching with the first topic in your book. Can you please send me these questions if possible?. I think it is a waste of time for me to search for them.

Click on “Writing T2” on the RED BAR at the top of the website to access all free information, tips, lessons, essay question, etc for writing task 2.

' src=

Are we using pen or pencil to write this essay’s

See this page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-help-faq/

' src=

mam can we use pupil instead of children to paraphrase the word children

That would only be possible if you were writing about school. Synonyms are often limited due to context.

' src=

Hi Liz, my question is not related with this post. It is about grammar which we use in Task 2. Could you give me some tips and advice about grammar? My essays’ feedbacks are always about grammar mistakes.Thanks in advance!

I think the key is to know your limitations. If your grammar is not strong, you should not aim to make complex sentences. You should aim to make safe sentences which are error free and have a clear meaning. Your grammar score is only 25% of your marks. Even if you get band 6 in grammar, you can still get a high score in the other criteria. So, control your weak areas and play your strengths.

' src=

Though it is not relevant to this post, I request you to clarify my doubt regarding writing task-2. – Most of the model essays given by you do not have the introduction that starts with a passive sentence like ‘It is believed/thought/argued/assumed’ and most of the body paragraphs also does not start with words like ‘on one hand/firstly/first of all’. Even though they are ranked 9 in the examiner comments section. So, my question here is, does following this pattern of beginning the paragraphs(both intro and body) give an impression to the examiner, that this is not original and its something which was by heart by the candidate?

Thanks Balaji

If your aim is to follow a template with set phrases and linking words, you will not get band 9. Band 9 is all about flexibility of language and connective devices.

Hello liz, i need your help please, my ielts results are withheld and are under scrutiny to ensure test integrity,what could that possibly mean.

See this page: https://ieltsliz.com/my-ielts-results-are-withheld-why/

' src=

Really awesome exercise, I really get confidence while doing this exercise. Please teacher Liz would you be kind enough to continue this kind of exercises for some time . I will be really grateful to you.

Some people believe that it is advantageous for businesses to sponsor occasions through advertising. When we do this, lack of extra cash can be raised to support sports matches and they can be continue for longer period. Moreover, businesses can donate the attire or machines which supports the occasion, groups and performers.

I’m glad the lesson was useful. The answers are now available: https://ieltsliz.com/answers-to-paraphrasing-practice-2/ . See my main writing task 2 page to find more lessons: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-2/

Some people believe that it is advantageous for businesses to support sporting occasions through media. When we do this, extra cash can be raised which is in short supply and will encourage matches and promise for their continuity. In addition, industries can also donate sports dresses or gadgets which aid the mathches, groups and performers.

Sponsorship of sporting programs by way of advertisement, is sometimes thought by some people to be advantageous. Additional money, which is always scarce, realised from this can be used to promote the sporting occasion and its continuity. It is also suggested that organizations should promote the event and boost the morale of the team and participants by donating wears and sporting equipment.

Hello Liz, pls what can I do, I find it difficult to think deep while writhing an essay. Thanks

You shouldn’t be thinking deeply while writing. You should think deeply before you write. You should spend at least 5 mins planning ideas, selecting the best ideas, planning supporting points and planning organisation. When you start writing, all your ideas are decided and you can just write, paying attention to grammar and vocab.

Nuclear Power Essay IELTS Sample Answer

Nuclear power is a very debated topic in every convention and has always been questioned for the bad it does rather than its good. In my opinion, nuclear power needs to be used, and the user should also be controlled and hedged with renewable energy sources as they are the only viable solution. Nuclear plants currently provide 11% of the world’s electricity. With an ever-increasing demand for electricity being seen everywhere and the fossil fuels reducing each day, it is now more important than ever that major decisions should be made. In the upcoming decades, energy consumption will only increase and meet the rising demand; nuclear power plants will be required as they are the best source of traditional energy-producing sources. Although nuclear power plants are required, it is also necessary to gradually push renewable energy sources and promote them to create a sustainable future for future generations. Nuclear power plants’ waste disposal and radioactivity are the concerning factors that have been the hot topic of most debates at conventions and meetings. In addition to that, a single misuse of this tremendous power can result in the disruption of life for all mankind. Striking a balance between the two will be crucial in the coming time as global warming and the energy crisis are on a constant rise. If nothing is done in the near time, countries could get submerged underwater within the coming decades, and the entire world will have to fight for survival.

Writing Task 2

The writing section of the IELTS exam consists of two sections. Writing task 2 is an essay writing task that requires deep thinking and coherence. This task will be our focus for this blog, as the rules and guidelines of the IELTS exam can be confusing for students appearing for the first time. Writing task 2 has the subsequent guidelines:

  • The essay should have a minimum of 250 words. An essay written in less than 250 words will be penalised and negatively marked. There is no penalty for writing a longer essay, but it will cause you to stray off-topic and waste time.
  • 40 minutes is a good enough time to complete this task and will leave you with time to recheck your answer.
  • The essay’s contents should be written with perfect grammar and solely focused on the topic.
  • You can be penalised if you stray off-topic while writing your essay. All the sentences must be related and formed to provide a clear view and information.
  • The content must be well structured to fetch the best results and have proper cohesion between the sentences.
  • The tone of your answer must be academic or semi-formal and should discuss the given topic at length and focus on proper and sophisticated language.
  • Using bullet points and notes is not allowed in the IELTS exam . The real answer must be written together and broken into paragraphs to better examine your writing style and structure.

Structure of Essay in Writing Task 2

The structure of the essay in writing task 2 is the base of your essay, and a clear idea of the structure will make it much easier for you to finish the essay on time. The structure of the essay can be broken down in the following way:

  • First Paragraph
  • Second Paragraph
  • Third Paragraph
  • Fourth Paragraph

The first paragraph of your essay should provide a small introduction to the topic and provide an opinion of yours about what side you are on about the topic. The first paragraph should be minimal and to the point. A clear and concise introduction leaves a good impression on the examiner. The second paragraph should begin with your stance on the topic. The first sentence should provide clarity on your stance. The second sentence should build on that idea and delve deeper into the specifics. The next sentences are suitable for providing an example and developing it in detail. You can make up research studies and quote them in your essay to support your point. At the end of the paragraph, end with a statement that sums up the overall idea of the paragraph and supports the idea you started with. The third paragraph is very similar in structure to the second paragraph. The main objective of this paragraph is to provide either the opposite view of the topic or discuss new ideas that touch on a different perspective of the topic but ultimately support your opinion. The structuring is the same as in the second paragraph, with minute changes. The fourth paragraph is the conclusion of your essay and, just like the introduction, should be minimal. Summing up your essay with a statement supporting your opinion and overall idea is best advised.

Frequently asked questions, 1. what are the pros and cons of nuclear power.

Ans: Nuclear energy is a widely used method of production of electricity. The benefits of nuclear technology and the main advantages of nuclear power are: a. No production of harmful gases that cause air pollution b. Clean source of energy c. Low cost of fuel d. Long-life once constructed e. A massive amount of energy produced f. Unlike most energy production methods, nuclear energy does not contribute to the increase in global warming

Disadvantages: a. Very high cost of construction of the facility. b. Waste produced is very toxic and requires proper and safe disposal, which is costly. c. If any accident happens, it can have a major impact on everyone and can be devastating. d. Mining of uranium 235, which is nuclear fuel, is very expensive.

2. Does Japan have a plan for dealing with its own nuclear waste problem?

Ans: As per the latest news and research, Japan does not have a proper nuclear waste dumping structure even after the Fukushima disaster in 2011. The Fukushima disaster was caused by the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in 2011 and caused meltdowns and hydrogen explosions at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactor. It was the worst recorded nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. Japan is said to have enough nuclear waste to create nuclear arsenals. In April 2021, Japan declared they would be dumping 1.2 million tonnes of nuclear waste into the sea. This is the same Japan that called the 1993 ocean dumping by Russia “extremely regrettable.” The discharges are bound to begin by 2023, and various legal proceedings and protests have been going on inside Japan against this inhuman decision that would destroy marine life.

3. How many countries have nuclear power plants?

Ans : Currently, 32 countries in the world possess nuclear power plants within their boundaries.

4. Why do people oppose nuclear power?

Ans: Opposition to nuclear power has been a long-standing issue. It is backed by a variety of reasons which are as follows:Nuclear waste is hard to dispose of, and improper disposal affects the radioactivity levels and can disrupt the normal life of people as well as animals. Nuclear technology is another concern of people as the usage of nuclear power plants leads to deeper research into the nuclear field. In today’s world, anything can be weaponised, and the threat of nuclear weapons is one of the drawbacks of nuclear power. This brings the threat of nuclear war and disruption of world peace. Any attack on nuclear power plants by terrorist organisations can result in a massive explosion that can disrupt and destroy human life and increase radioactivity to alarming levels around the site of the explosion.

5. What is the best way to dispose of nuclear waste?

Ans: Nuclear waste needs to be disposed of properly to prevent radioactive issues in the environment. The best methods to dispose of nuclear waste are as follows: a. Incineration : Radioactive waste can be incinerated in large scale incinerators with low production of waste. b. Deep burial: Nuclear waste can be buried deep into the ground as the radioactivity of nuclear waste wears off over time. This method is used for waste that is highly radioactive and will take a longer time to lose its radioactivity. c. Storage: Nuclear waste with low radioactivity is stored by some countries in storage. This is because their radioactive decay takes lesser time and can be disposed of safely once the radiation wears off.

6. Is it possible to produce electricity without using fossil fuels?

Ans: At the moment, 11% of the world’s electricity is produced by nuclear power plants alone. Replacing fossil fuel-based energy with renewable needs to be done gradually and properly. Renewable energy sources such as solar, hydro, and wind will have to be promoted and pushed to create a sustainable future. Renewable energy sources provide cheap energy, do not use up natural resources and fossil fuels and are much cheaper to construct than a nuclear power station.

In today's rapidly changing world, the relevance of work and life advice from older generations is often  scrutinized . While some may argue that these beliefs are  obsolete , I am certain that they still hold significant value for young people and their future. Opponents of traditional ideas argue that they are not suitable for the  contemporary  world. Many of these  notions , firstly, are based on societal norms that might have become outdated in modern life. Older generations could, for instance, emphasize the importance of face-to-face communication and formal  etiquette , which might seem less relevant today, which is an era  characterized  by digital communication. Furthermore, traditional career advice, which typically prioritizes job security over passion and innovation, might  stifle  the younger cohorts’ entrepreneurial spirit and creativity. Thus, the young generations may end up hindering their own ability to adapt and  thrive  in modern society, by strictly  adhering  to such advice. It is essential to recognize the significance of certain traditional  principles , however. While values such as respect, patience, and  deference  to seniority seem to  harken  to a  bygone  era, they are  time-tested and  universally  applicable. These principles are foundational for personal development and success, as accomplishment is hardly ever a single person’s effort. Respect for others, for instance, fosters positive relationships and enables the building of networks, which are crucial in both current work and the future. Traditional beliefs, moreover, often  encompass  moral guidelines, which can help young people live with  integrity  and responsibility. When faced with a  dilemma , for example, it might be  prudent  to follow old-fashioned and more ethically-driven advice rather than seek the most  self-serving path. Sometimes, the choice with fewer gains is the one that reflects better on an individual’s character. In conclusion, traditional beliefs are far from being obsolete, despite what their opponents may claim. Thanks to their value, these principles are likely to remain relevant for years to come. Young people, thus, should consider and integrate such ideas to better prepare for the future.

Chiến lược làm dạng bài Agree or Disagree IELTS Writing Task 2

Để viết một bài luận hiệu quả cho dạng bài Agree or Disagree IELTS Writing Task 2 , bạn cần phải nắm vững cấu trúc và các bước triển khai nội dung một cách rõ ràng và logic. Dưới đây là hướng dẫn chi tiết giúp bạn xây dựng một bài luận dạng Agree or Disagree, từ phần mở bài đến kết luận, nhằm thể hiện quan điểm một cách thuyết phục và hợp lý.

Dạng bài Agree or Disagree IELTS Writing Task 2

Dạng bài Agree or Disagree trong IELTS Writing Task 2 yêu cầu bạn thể hiện quan điểm của mình về một vấn đề hoặc một tuyên bố cụ thể. Bạn cần lựa chọn xem bạn đồng ý hay không đồng ý với quan điểm được đưa ra và cung cấp lý do cũng như ví dụ cụ thể để hỗ trợ quan điểm của mình.

dang-bai-agree-or-disagree-ielts-writing-task-2-1

Dưới đây là cấu trúc chung và một số bước để viết một bài luận dạng này:

Introduction (Giới thiệu):

  • Paraphrase lại đề bài.
  • Đưa ra câu thesis (quan điểm của bạn – đồng ý hoặc không đồng ý).

Body Paragraph 1 (Đoạn thân bài 1):

  • Ý chính đầu tiên ủng hộ quan điểm của bạn.
  • Giải thích ý chính này.
  • Đưa ra ví dụ cụ thể.

Body Paragraph 2 (Đoạn thân bài 2):

  • Ý chính thứ hai ủng hộ quan điểm của bạn.

Conclusion (Kết luận):

  • Tóm tắt lại các ý chính.
  • Khẳng định lại quan điểm của bạn.

Hiểu rõ đề bài

  • Đọc kỹ đề bài: Đảm bảo bạn hiểu rõ vấn đề và câu hỏi yêu cầu bạn phải làm gì. Đề bài dạng bài Agree or Disagree IELTS Writing Task 2 sẽ thường bắt đầu bằng “To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?”
  • Xác định lập trường: Chọn xem bạn hoàn toàn đồng ý, hoàn toàn không đồng ý, hay đồng ý một phần với ý kiến đưa ra. Hãy chọn lập trường mà bạn có thể đưa ra nhiều lý do và ví dụ thuyết phục nhất.
  • Lập dàn ý: Viết ra các ý chính mà bạn sẽ phát triển trong bài. Một bài luận nên có ít nhất 2-3 lý do hoặc lập luận chính hỗ trợ cho quan điểm của bạn.

dang-bai-agree-or-disagree-ielts-writing-task-2-2

Viết bài luận

  • Câu giới thiệu (Background statement): Giới thiệu chủ đề chung của đề bài.
  • Câu chủ đề (Thesis statement): Nêu rõ bạn đồng ý hay không đồng ý với ý kiến của đề bài. Ví dụ: “I completely agree with the statement that…”.
  • Mỗi đoạn thân bài nên bắt đầu bằng một câu chủ đề (Topic sentence): Câu này nêu ý chính của đoạn.
  • Giải thích (Explanation): Mở rộng và giải thích lý do bạn đưa ra.
  • Ví dụ (Example): Cung cấp ví dụ cụ thể để minh họa cho lý do của bạn. Ví dụ có thể từ kinh nghiệm cá nhân, các nghiên cứu, hoặc sự kiện thực tế.
  • Kết luận đoạn (Concluding sentence): Nhấn mạnh lại ý chính của đoạn và liên kết với luận điểm tổng thể của bài.
  • Tóm tắt lại các ý chính: Nhắc lại các lý do chính đã được trình bày trong thân bài.
  • Khẳng định lại lập trường của bạn: Kết luận bằng cách nhấn mạnh lại quan điểm của bạn một lần nữa.

Kiểm tra lại bài viết

  • Kiểm tra ngữ pháp và chính tả: Đảm bảo bài viết không có lỗi ngữ pháp và chính tả.
  • Kiểm tra cấu trúc bài viết: Đảm bảo bài viết có cấu trúc rõ ràng và logic.
  • Kiểm tra từ vựng và diễn đạt: Sử dụng từ vựng phong phú và diễn đạt rõ ràng, tránh lặp từ.

Bài mẫu dạng bài Agree or Disagree IELTS Writing Task 2

Đề bài: Some people think that it is beneficial for children to spend time on activities other than studying. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Many people believe that it is advantageous for children to engage in activities outside of their academic studies. I completely agree with this viewpoint because extracurricular activities can foster personal growth and provide essential life skills.

Firstly, participating in extracurricular activities allows children to develop essential social skills. For instance, team sports teach children the value of teamwork, communication, and leadership. These skills are crucial for their future professional and personal lives.

Secondly, engaging in non-academic activities can help children discover their passions and interests. For example, children who take part in music or art classes may uncover a talent that could lead to a fulfilling career. This variety in activities ensures that children grow up to be well-rounded individuals.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that children benefit greatly from engaging in activities beyond their studies. These activities not only help them develop important social skills but also allow them to explore their interests and talents, contributing to their overall personal development.
