IELTS Writing Task 2: Health Essay Questions
Health questions in IELTS Writing circle one recurring dispute: is health an individual responsibility or a public one? From fast-food taxes to free healthcare to why people exercise less than they used to, these prompts span opinion, causes-and-solutions, and discussion types. One honest detail — a habit you actually changed, a healthcare cost you actually paid — carries more Task Response weight than a lecture on "healthy lifestyles".
