What will you be asked to write about in your IELTS Task 2 question? 


There are hundreds of different questions that can be asked but we have created a list which gives you some broad topics to get you thinking about what you may be asked to write about.  This list is based upon past IELTS tests.  

Have a look at them and ask yourself: Do I have knowledge and experience about all of these broad topics? If your answer is 'no', then you have to do more reading (eg: Time Magazine, New Scientist, The Guardian).
