Sometimes you have to label a diagram in the listening test. For example, the diagram below comes from Cambridge IELTS book 7.
Many students miss the answers for this type of question because they get "lost" on the diagram. They don't know where to look.
There is one simple technique to avoid this problem: whenever you see a diagram, look for the question numbers. You will always hear the answers in the correct order, so your eyes should go to the first question number first, then move around the diagram following the numbers.
For the question above, your eyes should be looking at the bottom of the picture (question 11) when the recording starts, and your ears should be listening for "stop B".

If the question is like that
some countries the average weight of people is increasing and their levels of health and fitness are decreasing.
What do you think are the causes of these problems and what measures could be taken to solve them?
Shall I write my opinion?

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question correctly. 'Task Achievement' is in Task 1, in Task 2 we call it 'Task Response'.
Also, 'paraphrasing' is when you take someone's idea and put it into your own words.
If you are talking about the essay, then some questions will always be easier than others, because you know more about some topics than others.

This type of question is asking you to identify some causes and solutions. The focus of the question is on highlighting them to the reader. You can certainly add an opinion in the essay (for example, 'I believe the causes are serious') however this is not completely necessary.
