24th MAY 2014. Lastest IELTS WRITING TASK 2 QUESTION.

[mr_brown]

IT was a bit unusual task 2 question that requires flaxibility from a candidate!

here is TASK 2 QUESTION.
According to the American film actor John Wayne 'Tomorrov is the most important thing in life'.

How important is it for individuals and the government thinking about the future, rather than focusing on at the present?

as far as i remember the question is really stumped all the IELTS test-takers who took on 24th MAY.

I attempted the IELTS exam/test first time in my life on 24-05-2014 at LESOCO, London. Being a full time employee, I had only one night before exam for the preparation of IELTS
IMHO, I think the Writing section was too much easy for me. Also, the Listening & Speaking were little easy but I think I am gonna flunk the Reading part because it was utterly boring and confusing. All I need is 6.0 in Reading section because I guess with this band I will able to get overall 7.0 (fingers crossed). Otherwise, for the first time, I will have to resit (God forbid).
Does anyone remember the reading section or at least knows that "where" or "when" can I find it before 06-06-2014 i.e. the result day?
Cheers.

Are you trying to be funny? If yes, then I must say that you have really bad sense of humour :p Don't confuse it with speaking section.

I am not an expert but I have learnt from different information sources. IELTS doesn't assess your work on the basis of your knowledge or personal opinion. Following is the main criteria of writing assessment:


(i) task achievement
(ii) coherence and cohesion
(iii) lexical resource
(iv) grammatical range and accuracy

I wrote my essay in favour of John Wayne's statement because I thought that the statement encourages to invest today in terms of cost, time & efforts, and then we can enjoy its fruit (in terms of profit: in any shape) tomorrow. Similarly, current UK government is making the country more weightless by privatising many government owned assets, and the new owners are offshore companies so the whole profit is benefiting to its overseas owners which can make a huge dent on British economy in future. Ergo, they are ignoring the future consequences of today's actions. I also included that the industrial revolution has improved our living standards but it has ignored our future and has significantly polluted our environment. For example, global warming. After writing conclusion, I gave some future recommendations on the basis of my personal knowledge. Which I think was not necessary but I was 50 words away from my target
TBH, at this moment, I am not too sure about if my writing material is up to the mark. And it will help me to get desired band. But, I am hoping for best, and my fingers & toes are crossed

MR Brown,


Kindly clarify what do you mean by flexibility in Task 2 question of 24th may?

Whilst preparing for IELTS, I read several writing samples, and I didn't find a single example which includes the quote or statement from a celebrity. Plus, the given question was too ambiguous because it is not as explicit as compare to past question papers. And therefore many students were clueless about the topic.

Thanks Brown,


I am feeling quite relaxed now.
