IELTS Writing Task 2: both sides or one side?
Can you see the difference between the two questions below?
A) Explain the positives and negatives of this development.
B) Is this a positive or negative development?
and these two questions:
A) What are the advantages and disadvantages?
B) Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
and these two questions:
A) Discuss both views and give your opinion.
B) To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Answer:
The difference is that for all of the (A) questions you must explain both sides of
the argument, whereas the (B) questions can be answered by giving both
sides or
by supporting only one side, depending on the view that you express in
your introduction.
This is still the most common confusion that students ask me about. Make sure
you understand the difference between the questions above; if you're still unsure,
look through all of my task 2 lessons to see further advice and examples.
