IELTS Writing Task 2: 'completely agree' introduction

Many IELTS candidates waste time writing long introductions, because they believe that the introduction is the key to a high score.

This approach is wrong. The main body paragraphs are the key to a high score, so it's best to keep your introduction short. Just introduce the topic and give an overall answer to the question. For example:

Question:
As well as making money, businesses also have social responsibilities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

2-sentence introduction:
Businesses have always sought to make a profit, but it is becoming increasingly common to hear people talk about the social obligations that companies have. I completely agree with the idea that businesses should do more for society than simply make money.

Tip:
Try searching online for "corporate social responsibility" to see what people are saying about this issue.

How is good this introduction?

While the main aim of corporations is to make profits, they also should have an altruistic side. An organization that gives in charity would earn the goodwill of the public more easily and build a better brand than one that simply aims to make more money.

[Zeki Özalp]

For this topic my introduction is;

Businesses are not only make a money but also develop and include social responsibilities for community. I Completely agree that suggestion because businesses have been reached to crucial area within other measurements.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) isn't just important for people and the planet, but also is vital for business success.

A company's CSR strategy is a big factor in where today's top talent chooses to work.

And my introduction:

It is often argued that companies should pursue profits as well as their social responsibilities. I completely agree with this kind of idea because corporate social responsibility is the essential factor for all companies to be successful.

It is true that Companies main aim should make profits but their approach should also satisfy the social expectations. I completely agree that Businesses should think about stakeholder's social. ethical and environmental expectations.

my thoughts of starting the body part:
Indeed, making money is the ultimate goal of the business. But selling a good product or service is no longer enough to attract today's socially conscious consumers, because they have too many choices. Undertaking social responsibility will help the business stand out from competitors.
