IELTS WRITING: COSMETIC SURGERY

IELTS Writing Task 2: People Choosing To Have Cosmetic Surgery. Is this a positive or negative development?

ย 

ย 

TASK

Most people nowadays like to have cosmetic surgery to improve their appearance. Why are people choosing this? Is this a positive or negative development?

ย 

ย 

SAMPLE ESSAY

ย 

In recent years, some people have decided to undergo body enhancement through surgery in order to make their appearance more appealing. In my opinion, there are different reasons why they have made a decision to get cosmetic surgery and I believe this trend is favorable but sometimes problematic.ย ย 

ย 

LEXICAL RESOURCE

Undergo [verb] โ€“ go through; undertake

Appealing [adj.] โ€“ attractive; interestingย 





To begin with, there are people who choose to make body enhancements with the help of cosmetic or plastic surgeons because they are deemed necessary. For example, patients who are victims of incidents like acid attacks or car accidents that badly affect their physical appearance resort to cosmetic or reconstructive surgery. These kinds of people are left with no choice but to undertake surgery. They need the help of surgeons to recover their normal appearance or make it look pleasing. In this case, cosmetic or plastic surgery is extremely beneficial as it rebuilds the patientsโ€™ self-esteem and helps them live normally as other people do.ย 

ย 

LEXICAL RESOURCE

Deem [verb] โ€“ regard or consider in a specified mannerย 

Cosmetic surgery [noun] โ€“ The procedures, techniques, and principles of cosmetic surgery are entirely focused on enhancing a patientโ€™s appearance.

Plastic surgery [noun] โ€“ is defined as a surgical specialty dedicated to the reconstruction of facial and body defects due to birth disorders, trauma, burns, and disease.ย 

Source: Cosmetic Surgery vs. Plastic Surgery

ย 

However, there are some who decide to get surgery to make their looks more attractive because they simply want to fit in or want to be validated by people who set beauty standards. In other words, these people are pressured by what they see on social media or on advertisements about the beauty of cosmetic surgery. They think that the way to be recognized and valued by society is to improve their appearance through surgery. Also, they believe that doing so will make them more confident about themselves and successfully fulfill the definition of beauty as perceived by society. Although it is their right to enhance their looks, the fact that their decision is influenced by societal pressures is psychologically damaging which is unacceptable.ย 

ย 

LEXICAL RESOURCE

Validate [verb] โ€“ to check that something is acceptableย 

Psychologically [adv.] โ€“ refers to the mental and emotional state of a person

Damaging [adj.] โ€“ having a detrimental effect on someoneย 





In conclusion, people differ in their reasons for undergoing enhancements of their appearance and I think that this practice can be both favorable and unfavorable depending on what influences their decision.ย

DISCLAIMER: I got a band 9 in the speaking section, but not in writing. These days, Iโ€™m practicing hard to write better academic essays because I plan to take the IELTS academic exam soon. My goal is to get a band of 9.0. Yes! Since Iโ€™m already preparing hard for the exam, I better aim for the stars!

So, now, Iโ€™m creating sample essays here on my website to simply document my journey in learning how to write better academic essays. You are free to read these sample essays and perhaps get ideas.

Let it be known that Iโ€™m not recommending anyone to copy my essay structure, my way of using the vocabulary, the paraphrasing, and to rely on my essays. Yes, Iโ€™m confident to say that you can trust me in the speaking section since I got a band 9, however, as for writing, like you, Iโ€™m still learning.

Iโ€™m just posting my sample essays to motivate you to prepare better as I do. Iโ€™m preparing for my exam and learning to the best of my ability. Feel free to leave a comment below. Letโ€™s learn together. Letโ€™s make our dream a reality. Yes, I strongly believe that we can do it! Practice is the key.

Cheers,

Julius

Hi students! My name is Julius. I am the author of this IELTS website. I am a non-native English speaker who achieved the highest band score (band 9.0) on the IELTS speaking test on my first attempt.

I graduated with a degree in Communication Arts from Cebu Normal University, one of the prestigious state universities in the Philippines. I am a licensed teacher and TESOL-certified.

I once worked at a UK-based company teaching business English to Japanese businessmen who primarily work at Nikkei, a popular media company in Japan.

I created this website to help you all achieve your desired band scores so you will waste so much money, time, and effort for retaking the exam numerous times. All of the sample answers I provided on this website are a product of my experience as a band 9.0 achiever and an experienced IELTS speaking coach.

I've made sure that all of the sample answers are developed in a conversational and natural way because that is how I achieved a crisp band 9.0.
