Thanks for your teaching. It is amazing! Is it possible to talk about the theme below? I’ll appreciate it! 🙂

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

Government officials should rely on their own judgment rather than unquestionably carry out the will of the people serve.

It is an IELTS myth that you don’t talk about politics or religion on the test, as these two subjects can indeed come up often, related to Writing and Speaking questions about culture and government.

In order to be prepared, you must access information in English about your government, religion and culture.

This is vital, as you may or may not be used to discussing these things in your first language, but usually not in English!

Brainstorms for the question above will vary widely according to the where the candidate is from.
