Exemplos de redação do IELTS (Writing Task 2): modelos nota 7+ comentados, por tipo de essay

Ler exemplos de redação do IELTS ajuda quando você observa como o texto foi construído: onde está a posição, como cada parágrafo desenvolve uma ideia, quais conectores ligam as frases. Decorar frases prontas não ajuda: os examinadores reconhecem textos memorizados e a nota cai. Abaixo, duas redações completas de nota 7 ou mais, com comentários, e esquemas para os outros tipos.

Os cinco tipos de Task 2

Redação 1: discussion essay

Some people think that children should start learning a foreign language at primary school. Others believe they should wait until secondary school. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

There is disagreement about the best age for children to begin learning a foreign language. While some argue that it should be delayed until secondary school, I believe that starting in primary school brings greater benefits.

Those who support a later start often point out that young children first need a solid foundation in their mother tongue. In their view, introducing English too early may overload pupils who are still learning to read and write in Portuguese. Moreover, many primary schools, especially in rural areas, lack qualified language teachers, so early lessons may be of poor quality and do little more than teach colours and numbers. Critics argue that this time would be better spent on maths or reading, where many pupils are already struggling.

On the other hand, there are strong reasons to start early. Young children are generally less afraid of making mistakes, and they imitate sounds more naturally, which helps them develop better pronunciation. In addition, starting at seven or eight gives pupils several more years of exposure to the language before they finish school, which matters in countries like Brazil, where most people only have contact with English in the classroom. Early learning can also make children more curious about other cultures and more confident when they later travel, study or work with people from other countries.

In my opinion, the advantages of an early start outweigh the risks, provided that schools have trained teachers and lessons focus on listening and speaking rather than grammar. Investing in teacher training would therefore be more effective than simply postponing language education.

O que observar: a introdução já diz a opinião; o parágrafo 2 apresenta o outro lado de forma justa, sem “some people wrongly think”; o parágrafo 3 tem três argumentos ligados por In addition e also; a conclusão acrescenta uma condição (provided that…), o que mostra uma posição madura.

Redação 2: problem–solution essay

In many cities, traffic congestion is becoming a serious problem. What are the main causes, and what measures could be taken to solve it?

Traffic jams have become part of daily life in large cities around the world, from London to São Paulo. This essay will examine the main reasons for this problem and suggest some practical solutions.

The most obvious cause is the growing number of private cars. As incomes rise, more families can afford a car, and many people see it as a symbol of status and safety. A second cause is poor urban planning. In many cities, homes are built far from business districts, so millions of people have to commute long distances at the same time every morning and evening. Where public transport is slow, crowded or unreliable, driving becomes the only realistic option, even for those who would prefer not to use a car. Each new road, meanwhile, tends to attract even more vehicles.

Several measures could reduce congestion. Firstly, governments should invest in fast, frequent public transport, such as metro lines and dedicated bus lanes, which can carry far more passengers than cars using the same road space. Secondly, cities could discourage car use in central areas, for example by charging drivers a fee to enter the city centre at peak times, as London has done. Finally, companies could allow flexible working hours or remote work on some days, which would spread journeys more evenly throughout the day.

In conclusion, congestion is mainly caused by rising car ownership and badly planned cities. No single measure is enough on its own, but a combination of better public transport, charges for driving in busy areas and more flexible working patterns would make a real difference to the lives of city residents.

Cerca de 270 palavras.

O que observar: um parágrafo para causas e outro para soluções, cada um com dois ou três itens numerados (Firstly, Secondly, Finally); exemplos concretos (Londres, São Paulo) sem números inventados; vocabulário do tema (congestion, commute, peak times, dedicated bus lanes).

Esquema: advantages–disadvantages

More people are choosing to live and work abroad. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

1. Introdução: reescreva + resposta direta (I believe the advantages outweigh…).
2. Vantagens: salário e carreira; experiência cultural e idioma.
3. Desvantagens: distância da família; dificuldade de validar diplomas.
4. Conclusão: repita qual lado pesa mais e por quê.

Esquema: two-part question

Why do some people feel happier than others? What can people do to become happier?

1. Introdução: reescreva + resposta curta às duas perguntas.
2. Pergunta 1: dois motivos (relações pessoais, saúde, atitude).
3. Pergunta 2: duas sugestões ligadas aos motivos.
4. Conclusão: resumo das duas respostas.

Responda às duas perguntas com o mesmo peso. Ignorar uma derruba o critério Task Response para 5.

O que copiar e o que não copiar

• Copie a estrutura: posição clara, uma ideia por parágrafo, exemplo explicado.
• Copie conectores, com moderação: veja linking words para o IELTS.
• Não copie frases inteiras. Introduções decoradas não combinam com o tema e o examinador desconsidera texto memorizado.
• Não confie em “exemplos nota 9” de fontes desconhecidas. Muitos têm erros. Os modelos oficiais estão nos livros Cambridge IELTS: livros para o IELTS.
