If you are preparing for IELTS writing, my number 1 piece of advice for you is....
...learn how to write both tasks.

Do not just take practice tests on websites. You cannot get a good score if you do not know what you are doing.

Spend time learning HOW to write the tasks first.

THEN do practice tests.

A lovely review from Rafi, whose daughter Kate helped get a band 8.0 in her IELTS exam.

Rafi's daughter, M. is a student at an international school in Qatar and needs a high score in the IELTS exam to apply for medical school.

M. already had an excellent level of English, as she was born in the UK. Kate helped her to understand the IELTS test properly, so she could maximise her score.

As usual, they started with a mock IELTS test, to identify her strengths and weaknesses. She had great listening and speaking skills, but needed help improving her performance in reading and writing.

Kate focused on:

👉techniques to do different types of reading questions
👉how to manage time during the reading test
👉the basic structure for all academic writing task 1s (introductory sentence - overview - main body)
👉analysis and language for different academic writing task 1s (line graph, dynamic bar chart, table, pie chart, static bar chart, table and pie chart, mixed graphs, processes and maps)
👉analysis, idea generation and structures for different essay question types (problem-solution, advantages and disadvantages, discussion, opinion and two-part questions)

M. was given IELTS writing tasks to complete after every class, which Kate gave her feedback on to help her improve. M. also did reading and listening tests online to improve her speed and get used to the computer-based format.

M worked very hard and was rewarded with an overall band 8.0!

Last Thursday was A-level results day, an exciting and scary day for many people waiting to confirm their university place. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I was delighted when I got a message from a former student of mine to say he’s got what he needed to get on his first choice course!

Woop! 🥳🥳🥳

Several years of university lie ahead and he’s probably relieved and definitely excited after all that hard work.

The nice thing for me is – I helped him prepare for his IELTS exam long before he did his A-levels. Though studying for British A-levels, he isn’t originally from the UK and hadn’t grown up there and therefore had to do IELTS to get into uni.

I assessed his level, designed a course to target his problem areas and helped him get the band score he deserved.

So, in my own little way I contributed to his university entry!

Admittedly, compared to the huge amount of work he’s done, my contribution is paltry, but this is still the thing teachers get a huge amount of satisfaction from – not just the IELTS result…. But the result of the IELTS result…. Ultimately getting into university and kickstarting a career in chosen profession.

So, congratulations to everyone who confirmed they’re starting their university adventure this week….

Which university are you going to be attending?

(The pic is of the IELTS results he achieved. In our first course we focused on writing. After the test he didn't get the result he wanted in reading so did a few further lessons with me focused on this skill. He re-took the reading exam and....... mission accomplished!)

If you need to score 7.0+ in IELTS writing task 2, you need to understand that there is more than one structure you can use.

We see many IELTS tutors on Instagram and Facebook telling their followers that they HAVE to use a four paragraph essay structure:

👉Introduction
👉Body paragraph 1
👉Body paragraph 2
👉Conclusion

This is ok if you need band 5.5-6.5.

However, one way to reach a higher score is to understand that there are different essay structures you can use.

For example, for an essay that asks
"To what extent do you agree or disagree?"

You could write
✍️Body paragraph 1 - reasons for
✍️Body paragraph 2 - reasons against

However, you could also write
✍️Body paragraph 1 - reason 1 why I agree
✍️Body paragraph 2 - reason 2 why I agree

OR

✍️Body paragraph 1 - reason why some people disagree
✍️Body paragraph 2 - reason 1 why I agree
✍️Body paragraph 3 - reason 2 why I agree

The 2nd and 3rd versions make your position stronger. Version 3 gives you more opportunity to use different vocabulary and grammar.

There is also a 4th version, if you want to partially agree.

There are many ways to write IELTS essays.

To get a high score, you need to:
✅Understand the most appropriate structure for each essay type
✅Practice alternative structures and see which you prefer.
✅Write and get proper feedback

Be honest with your answers in your IELTS speaking test

Your examiner is not assessing how 'academic' or 'smart' you are.

They are assessing your English level.

✅If you play computer games in your free time, you can say that.

Show the IELTS speaking examiner what vocabulary you have learned from playing Fortnite, or Minecraft, or League of Legends.

✅If you hate reading books because they make you fall asleep, you can say that.

✅If you never do any exercise because you are far too busy, you can say that.

It is fine to be honest. It shows you are a real person!

Do you like playing computer games?
