| Task 1: The graph and chart below give information on the average daily maximum and minimum temperatures in degrees Celsius (°C) and the average number of days with rainfall each month for two Australian cities. |
Example
The graphs and charts compare temperatures in degrees Celsius and the number of rainy days monthly in Brisbane and Canberra, Australia.
Despite similar periodic fluctuations, Brisbane consistently experiences higher maximum and minimum temperatures compared to Canberra. Additionally, the highest number of rainy days in Brisbane occurs during the first half of the year, whereas Canberra shows the opposite pattern.
Brisbane’s maximum and minimum temperatures start at 28 and 27 degrees, the gap of which widens from April to July and ultimately makes a striking difference of 10 degrees. The temperatures soar in the remaining months and similarly end at under 30 degrees. Meanwhile, Canberra’s statistics maintain a gap of 8-10 degrees throughout the period. Standing at 22 and 13 degrees in January, this city’s maximum and minimum temperatures experience a significant drop, reaching troughs of 10 degrees and 1 degree in July, before starting to rise again later in the year. Regarding the number of days with rainfall, Brisbane experiences 10-14 rainy days in the first five months, with the peaks recorded in February and March. After a plateau of 10 days between June and August, this figure reduces by three days in December. Meanwhile, Canberra experiences seven rainy days from January to September, with eight days in March being the exception. In the last quarter of the year, this figure sees a 50% surge to end at 12 days.

IELTS Writing task 2
| Task 2: An increasing number of people are choosing plastic surgery. Why do people have operations to change the way they look? Do you think this is a positive or negative development? |
Example
Due to many advancements in plastic surgery and the fact that people have become more open-minded about medical interventions, why people adopt such medical procedures and whether they are advantageous fuel considerable controversy. I am convinced that plastic operations have both positives and negatives in equal measure.
In recent years, there has been a growing trend of people opting for plastic surgery to alter their physical appearance. First, birth defects and injuries sustained through accidents likely lead to a sense of inferiority, hence the fear of negative evaluation and social avoidance. Appearance-based teasing and bullying may also be common in such cases. Second, in societies where physical attractiveness is highly valued, more and more individuals opt for cosmetics operations to perfect their looks. A pleasing appearance may lead to admiration and better career prospects, especially in customer service, sales and entertainment.
From my perspective, the growing popularity of plastic surgery is equally beneficial and detrimental. On the one hand, these medical procedures help boost self-confidence and self-esteem and provide people with ample opportunities in life. They may also enable those considered physically unattractive to avoid appearance-related discrimination. On the other hand, not only are such operations exorbitant, but they can also carry risks. It is not unheard of for patients to suffer blood loss and infection, which are sometimes fatal. Unlicensed practitioners may also perform these procedures, further exacerbating the risks.
In summary, although plastic surgery can assist individuals in achieving their desired appearance and enhancing their quality of life, the substantial costs and associated risks may deter many from pursuing such procedures.
