IELTS Writing Task 2: from plan to paragraphLet's try writing a full paragraph using the essay plan from this lesson. The topic of this paragraph is "the problems caused by increasing life expectancy". Here's the plan I wrote:Problems- an increase in the number of retired people who will receive a pension- a smaller proportion of young adults = smaller working populations- a greater tax burden on working adults- demand for healthcare will rise- young adults will have to look after elderly relativesHere's my paragraph using the ideas above:As people live longer and the populations of developed countries grow older, several related problems can be anticipated. The main issue is that there will obviously be more people of retirement age who will be eligible to receive a pension. The proportion of younger, working adults will be smaller, and governments will therefore receive less money in taxes in relation to the size of the population. In other words, an ageing population will mean a greater tax burden for working adults. Further pressures will include a rise in the demand for healthcare, and the fact young adults will increasingly have to look after their elderly relatives.Note: It would be easy to write more by adding an example (such as healthcare costs like more hospital beds and medical staff), but I've already written 106 words, which is enough for one main paragraph.Posted by Simon in IELTS Writing Task 2 | Permalink | Comments (22)Wednesday, January 16, 2013
