Ielts writing Task 1 + 2

PROBLEM & SOLUTION SAMPLE
The gap between the rich and the poor is increasingly wide, as rich people
become richer and poor people grow poorer. What problems could this
situation cause? What are the solutions to address those problems?
MODEL ESSAY:
It is true that 
the gap between the rich and the poor 
is growing wider 
in many
regions of the world. 
While the problems that result 
are complex
,
fundamental solutions 
based on expanding education 
should be adopted to
tackle this problem
.
Increasing levels of poverty and rising wealth inequalities impact on the
economic growth of a country and the security of its citizens. 
In economic
terms
, the existence of a large mass of 
unemployed
or 
low-paid workers
directly affects domestic businesses, 
such as 
local shops and factories. As
nobody has money to buy their products, they are themselves forced to close,
creating further unemployment. 
In terms of public security
, without the
means of obtaining money through work, the poor may turn to crimes such as
drug trafficking, prostitution, robbery and violent attacks on others. Youth
unemployment has, 
in particular
, been linked with rising crime rates.
Governments must, 
therefore
, expand educational opportunities to benefit all
their citizens, 
in order to
reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. The
provision of a better standard of schooling in slum areas of cities and in poor
rural regions 
would enable children to 
reach a higher level of educational
attainment. Grants and scholarships 
could be 
used to help students to remain
in education for longer and gain qualifications. 
In particular
, technical
education could be expanded, helping poorer children to learn trades. In
construction, engineering, and agriculture, a highly-educated workforce will
be needed in the future, and skilled workers 
will be able to 
command high
salaries and enjoy a decent standard of living. As work opportunities
improve, crime rates will fall.
Thus, 
dealing with the problem at its roots, by expanding educational
opportunities, the authorities 
would be able to reduce 
the gap between the
wealthy and poor sectors of society.
