Hi Kannu,

Task 2 is very similar between the two exams. According to the test format page at ielts.org, the tone used to compose the General Task 2 is allowed to be more personal in nature. The skills assessed also vary slightly between the General and Academic Task 2. For more info, view the Information for Candidates PDF file.
