Writing UNIT 8
On your own, get a new sheet of paper and write down all your ideas on the following
topic. Then plan your key ideas and supporting points. Do this in ten minutes.
As children do we have a natural ability and motivation to take up new
interests (such as languages, sports and musical instruments) which as adults
we seem to lose? Are there too many social pressures on adults or are there
other reasons for the apparent decline in a human being's capacity to learn?
THE I N T R O D U C T I O N
Your introduction is very important
because it gives your reader their first
impression of your writing ability. However, you shouldn't
begin your
introduction immediately.
4 What must you decide before you write the introduction?
5 Roughly how long should the introduction to an IELTS answer be?
6 Roughly how long should you spend writing the introduction?
7 How should you indicate the end of the introduction to your reader?
Your approach to writing an introduction will depend to a certain extent on the
task. IELTS tasks present a discussion topic that is fairly broad and can be
approached by candidates from different backgrounds. So one of the things you
need
to do in the introduction is to define what you understand by the task and
state how you intend to approach it.
Read the following task and discuss what areas you
could cover in your answer and
how you might introduce the topic.
