IELTS WRITING TASK 2 (3 topics and sample answers)1. In recent years, more and more people tend to live individually. What are the causes of
this trend? Does this have a positive or negative effect on society?
Many people now choose to live individually, which I believe has only negative impacts
on the society. This essay will present some causes for this phenomenon before analysing
the negative influences.
First, as some traditional values of family and marriage have been lost, many do not see
the point of sharing lives. For example, family gatherings can be a burden rather than a
cherished present that life brings about. Second, many blame the hectic modern life. The
truth is that people today are just too busy to settle down with a family and all sorts of
responsibilities. Last but not least, thanks to the sharing frenzy on social networking sites,
many successful and seemingly happy individuals became much-trumpeted role models
of this lifestyle. As stories of their wonderful life go viral, many simply consider living a
single life a very fashionable choice.
I do not believe this trend is doing any good for the society as it pulls people away from
one another, weakening them psychologically long before they are aware of it. Now that
the concept of having a family fades away, people are more vulnerable than ever as they
have no home to return in times of sickness or hardships. If a person decides to become a
single parent, it is even worse as their child grows up without care and attention from
both parents. Finally, from a demographic perspective, the trend takes a toll on the
development of a country’s population as it slows down the process of producing new
generations to replace the dying or ageing generations.
Although individuals have every right to decide how they want to live their lives, I still
believe in family as a place to form the wholesomeness of a human being.
