On this page, you will find IELTS Writing Task 2 sample essays on a range of common exam topics.

Use these essays to study how a strong response is organised, how ideas are developed and supported, and how vocabulary and grammar are used naturally in context.

When practising, try to write or plan your own answer first. Then compare it with the sample essay and pay attention to the introduction, thesis statement, topic sentences, supporting ideas, examples and conclusion.

The goal is not to memorise complete essays, but to understand how a well-developed IELTS Task 2 response is built and apply the same techniques to your own writing.
