What is the issue?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you aware that we have this discrepancy? In American soccer, the women\u2019s soccer team doesn\u2019t make as much money as the men\u2019s professional team but they are way more successful. This makes people mad!<\/p>\n

Megan Rapinoe is an American professional soccer player on the national team who fights for women\u2019s rights and equality.<\/p>\n

She is very outspoken as far as her lifestyle preference and how everybody should be free to be who they are and that everyone deserves equal rights.<\/p>\n

This general topic of gender equality and rights and salaries and gender roles comes up all the time in Speaking Part 3 and Writing Task 2 on IELTS.<\/p>\n

How to handle a question about a controversial issue:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to Speaking Part 3<\/a> it\u2019s kind of an art. You have to be prepared with a little bit of structure going into this part of the test.<\/p>\n

So if a Part 3 question is asking for your opinion, state your opinion directly and immediately and then support it with specific examples.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re preparing for your IELTS exam, you have to develop your Culture of Thinking. <\/a><\/p>\n

This is the idea that we have to set up our lifestyle and our personal culture where we have a lot of input coming our way.<\/p>\n

We need to be fully immersed in information multiple times per day. We need to constantly seek it out.<\/p>\n

Be curious.<\/p>\n

Always seek to learn more.<\/p>\n

This is what high-scoring students always do and this strategy will help you get past IELTS.<\/p>\n
