This is my latest sample IELTS essay for download.
Title
In many countries people working in sport and entertainment earn much more money than professionals like doctors, nurses and teachers. Why do you think this happens in some societies and do you consider it is good or bad?
It is important to note that there are 2 separate questions here: why does it happen and what do you think? You must answer both halves of the question
Structure
This is a 4 paragraph essay with one content paragraph dealing with the opinion and the other dealing with the reasons why it happens. The language of the conclusion also mirrors the introduction.
Vocabulary points to note
One topic of this essay is salaries and it is important to use some varied vocabulary. Note these variations
- salary
- income
- financial reward
It is also necessary to find different ways of saying “people working in sport and entertainment”. Note:
- sports and entertainment personalities
- stars
- footballers
Likewise, see how I vary the vocabulary for doctors and teachers, partly by using examples:
- surgeon
- operating theatre
- medical and educational professions

This is a discussion topic Dominic, isn’t it? And I must as well appreciate your great job in this website which has made it one of the top 3 on IELTS. However I wish you provided us with a blueprint and suggested sentences of each type like what you did in Factory farms – sample IELTS essay, it might be quite difficult if not impossible, though.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll go back and look at the factory farms and see what I did there (rather forgot) and see if I can do the same here.
