The crime rate among teenagers has increased dramatically in many countries.
Discuss some possible reasons for this increase and suggest solutions.
1
The task - or ‘what you have to do’ - is usually at the end of the prompt.
As you can see, you are being told to ‘Discuss some possible reasons for this increase and suggest solutions’.
It’s very common in task 2 IELTS essay questions to get asked to do two things, and this question is a good example of this:
- Why teenage crime has increased
- Ways to solve this problem
You MUST discuss both those things to ensure you have fully answered the question and you must write roughly equal amounts about each part.
Doing any of the following things will reduce your score for task response, and hence may reduce your overall score:
- Only writing about reasons or only solutions
- Writing most of your essay about reasons and only a small part on solutions (or visa versa)
- Writing about the reasons and solutions for crime in general, and not referring to teenage crime (the topic)
- Writing about neither reasons nor solutions
