Writing Task 2: Building a Clear Opinion Structure

How I approached Task 2

After sharing my Task 1 writing experience, let us look at how to get started with Task 2 and improve more quickly.

Before writing this study note, I want to thank @culala在加拿大 for generously sharing their work. I built on that foundation and adapted it through my own practice.

I found Task 2 easier than Task 1. After practising the same structure several times, I no longer had to decide how to organise every answer from scratch.

An example writing framework

Figures 3–6 show the Task 2 writing framework.

Figure 7 shows a complete writing example.

Preparing for less common prompts

For less common Task 2 prompts, prepare separately. Examples include a complaint letter, a favourite artist or a favourite film.

How to practise

I practised the structure repeatedly, then kept the corrected phrases that I could use again. AI feedback helped me spot grammar problems, but I still checked whether the answer covered every part of the prompt.
