IELTS writing task 2 – Some people feel that cities should allow for spaces for graffiti

February 19, 2026 Riya Chandna

IELTS Writing Task 2

Some people feel that cities should allow for spaces for graffiti while others feel it should be banned. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

IETLS Task 2 cities should allow for spaces for graffiti

Sample Answer:

Art and artists have always been a moot case. It is believed by many that painting graffiti on blank areas should be permitted whereas, others contradict and posit that it must be forbidden. Both views have compelling arguments, yet I assert with the former view which will be discussed in the forthcoming essay.

Undoubtedly, graffiti enhances the beauty of the locations they are drawn on. Its colourful composition and variety in the artistic expression makes it a visually appealing art piece. In its recent development, the city of Dehradun for example witnessed hundreds of such paintings throughout its citywalls. Moreover, such paintings are an opportunity for underprivileged people to showcase their artistic abilities without using much resources.

Nevertheless, people may demand to ban such paintings due to their rebellious nature. Evidently, graffiti depicts rebellion and at times promotes false agendas or even anger of civilians towards authority. The Lennon, a famous wall graffiti in Prague, is an illustration of such a display of aggression towards the government. Apart from this, such murals also damage public property for which no one can be held responsible due to its anonymous nature.

In my opinion, authorising spaces for graffiti will aid in spreading awareness. Etnias, Brazil, for instance, was drawn for the Olympic games to convey the message of togetherness and peace. Hence, street art must be given its due permission.

To recapitulate, in my perspective, urban art must not be prohibited as it enhances the appearance of the city and is exclusive in nature. However, some guidelines shall be provided for smooth and fair practices of such display of art.

Academic Writing Task: Some people believe that schools should be allowed to evaluate and criticize their teachers

February 18, 2026 IELTS Research

Academic Writing Task-2
Question: Some people believe that schools should be allowed to evaluate and criticize their teachers to improve the quality of education. Others think this is disrespectful to teachers. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Sample Answer:

Assessment of teachers plays a crucial role in improving the quality of education. Few folks reckon that learners should have the privilege to closely evaluate the class performance of teachers and come up with valuable feedback. However, others are against this notion and feel this practice to be quite disrespectful to teachers. This essay will discuss both sides of the argument and state my opinion in the forthcoming paragraphs.
On the one hand, teachers indeed get a lot of benefits when learners assess them. Primarily, tutors have an opportunity to know how well the students can understand the lectures delivered to them and can make possible changes to the teaching methods to meet student demands. Subsequently, teachers who do not have acceptable ways of teaching can be given proper training. Furthermore, questionnaire usage for the same purpose without asking students to write their names on it will not hinder them from sharing feedback because they might feel scared to answer the same questions verbally.
On the other hand, opponents contemplate that giving learners the authority to evaluate teachers can have some adverse impacts. First and foremost, it can harm the teacher-student relationship as many pupils would use this situation to vent their frustration. Also, it is not an appropriate way to judge tutors since opinions vary from student to student. Apart from this, teachers feel that their efforts are not valued, and, as a result, their confidence levels are affected as they are always open to criticism.
To recapitulate, I believe that learners should contribute to teacher assessment, but, simultaneously, their feedback should be the only deciding factor for teacher performance. Instead, school or college management can use some other ways of teacher evaluation.

IELTS Cue Card – Describe someone in the news you would like to meet.

February 17, 2026 IELTS Research

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

Someone in the news you would like to meet.

Who the person is?

What they do?

Why they are in the news?

And explain why you would like to meet them.

Sample Answer

There are innumerable mortals in the news, who often catch the news headlines of newspapers like politicians, singers, etc. Here I’d like to talk about Mukesh Ambani, a famous Indian billionaire business merchant also the chairman, managing director, and largest shareholder of Reliance Industries Limited. He, with his father, established India’s first private oil refinery at Gujarat that can produce about 33 million tonnes of oil per year.
He is currently the richest man of Asia and the 9th richest man in the world with a net worth of 21 billion dollars and lives in the world’s most big-budget private residence, whose value is approximately US$2 billion.
I saw him in the broadcast a few months back when I was watching the news, and there was information about him, that he donated 100 million dollars to Prime Minister’s emergency fund during the coronavirus pandemic. He shared that his money is of no value if he can’t help the citizens of his country. This quality affected me and had left a positive impact on me. Even though he has obtained a good reputation, he is very down to earth. Apart from this, he is a member of many non-state associations and does a lot of charity work.
I think he is not only intelligent and sympathetic, but also a successful businessman. Because of the fact that he manages his assets in such an effective manner. I have an eager ambition to meet this business tycoon in real life, so that I can learn some of his characteristics. I want to meet this big-hearted person and thank him for his kind step towards humanity. If I get a chance to meet him, I will not miss the boat.

Part 3 Follow-Up Questions

Q1. What types of people become famous in your country?
In my opinion, people, who work in the film industry and play sports, usually become famous in my country rather quickly. And politicians don’t lag very far behind them either. However, the difference is that famous people in the film industry and sports are “eminent” because most of the average citizens genuinely like them because of their creativity and performance while people “like” famous politicians out of “fear”.

Q2. What qualities does a person need to have to be famous?
I believe, that, becoming a famous and “successful” person is not a piece of cake. But, a person can become famous by winning against all the challenges and battles, thrown at him or her, because of carrying certain qualities in his or her life. And, some of these qualities are ‘passion, persistence (or patience), hard work, positive attitude, self-reliance, self-confidence, integrity, and rock-strong willpower’. Of course, a person also needs to have his or her fair share of “luck” as well to become famous. But, of all these qualities, I would say that “patience” may prove to be the most important and decisive factor in attaining “fame” as one may need to wait a long time to achieve it.

Q3. Describe how famous people influence the public.
Famous people, be they in sports, politics, cinema, or business can influence and inspire people with their talent, hard work, sincerity, and styles. Sometimes, the way they lead personal lives, and handle problems and relationships, can set examples for the general public. But, the problem is, sometimes, people tend to forget about their responsibilities as they may not be able to accept the mistakes of their favorite celebrity and they even try to justify the mistakes committed by them, which can be misleading for the rest of the general public.

IELTS Cue Card – Describe a successful person with whom you once studied or worked.

February 16, 2026 IELTS Research

IELTS Speaking Task Cue Card:

A successful person with whom you once studied or worked

Who this person is?

When you studied or worked with this person?

What this person did to become successful?

And explain how you felt about studying or working with this person?

Sample Answer

To become successful has become a struggle for all, and everyone is in the race to strive and succeed. However, regular efforts and consistent hard work can ease the process. Today I will be describing a person who faced several hardships and turned out to be an ultimate achiever. Kritika, my best friend since childhood, and I have completed our studies together at the same colleges. She didn’t have a very affluent family background; instead, her family was dealing with multiple problems, and this would distress her a lot. Kritika was determined to change her family’s poor state. She started working just after clearing her 12th and completed her further studies through distance learning. Initially, she started by giving home tuition; later, she joined a firm as a sales executive. Seeing her dedication and performance, she got promoted to sales manager. I guess that was the turning point in her life. Now that she has become Section Head of the company, she has a good salary package. Earlier, she was living in a rented house; recently, she bought a home for her family. She invited me to the inauguration ceremony. Kritika has proved that firm determination and perseverance have the ultimate power to change destiny. I feel extremely proud and happy for Kritika, as she has become a driving source of inspiration for many people around her.

Part 3 Follow-Up Questions

Q1. Is money the only measure of success in your country?
Absolutely not, there are multiple ways to measure success and everyone has different parameters to examine it. For some it could be earning money whereas for others it could be serving others or getting married.

Q2. How do you define whether a person is successful or not?
Well, I believe when a person’s achieve or fulfil his goals he can call himself successful. However, goals could be different some may define success by gaining status and accomplishments while for others it can be leading a simple and happy life

Q3. Is there a contradiction between success and happiness?
Many believe that success and happiness mean the same thing; some even consider happiness to revolve around success. But according to my opinion, I believe success is tangled with certain tasks and goals, whereas happiness, on the other side, is free and doesn’t specifically need to be achieved; it is felt. One may feel happy by listening to his favourite songs, but success can’t be achieved in the same manner. Success requires regular hard- work and effort.
