How to write about Social Trends in your IELTS essay

In the world of IELTS we often discuss “types” or essay (Discuss Both Sides, Advantages and Disadvantages, etc) and common topics (environment, work, education, etc), but we rarely talk about common "themes". Today I want to talk about one theme that often appears but is rarely discussed: essays that focus on social change. These are essay questions which present a current social trend (the increase in crime, the loss of community,  etc) and then ask you to examine it in some way. Today, Nick and I explain how to recognise IELTS social trend questions and how you should approach them to make sure that your writing is 100% on-topic.You can find the full episode notes for this episode at   https://blog.myieltsclassroom.com/ielts-social-trends/ In this episode, we willexplain how to recognise social trend questionsshow you why many students do not address these questions correctlydetail the best approach to answering these questions look at essay questions that ask you how to predict future social trendsUseful Links Learn more about brainstorming ideas http://blog.myieltsclassroom.com/how-can-you-think-of-ideas-for-your-ielts-essay/Download my free ebook "An ex-examiner's guide to the Band IELTS Descriptors": https://mailchi.mp/myieltsclassroom/examiner-guide-to-ielts-band-descriptorsRate and review My IELTS ClassroomIf you are on Apple Podcasts, help us to help more people just like you by rating and reviewing our show.
