Task 2 ideas

[elatruya]

How to write an essay if the issue of Task 2 is about a field i’m not familiar with? for example the essay asks about gardenening, and i have no idea about gardening.

[Mike Wattie]

When faced with an unfamiliar topic in IELTS Task 2, focus on general ideas and logical reasoning rather than specific knowledge. Start by interpreting the question broadly. For example, if the topic is gardening, think about broader themes like environmental benefits, relaxation, or healthy living. Use relevant examples from other contexts you are familiar with, and structure your essay clearly, with an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Emphasise clear argumentation and coherence over specialised knowledge.

I often have problems generating ideas and struggle with expanding the ideas using examples. I normally spend too much time organising my ideas into a logical order. Is there any good practice method or suggestion for this?
