Be Faster in IELTS Writing!
The IELTS Writing Test is a race against time. A lot of people get a lower score because they can’t finish in time. You only have one hour to write two tasks: letter/report + essay.
Top 3 tips for time management:
- Do the computer based IELTS test.
- This way, you can easily edit and delete text.
- There is no automatic spell check so give yourself at least 4 minutes to proofread your work.
- Know which structure you are going to use for each of the 5 different types of essays:
- agree/disagree questions
- advantage/disadvantage questions
- discussion questions
- double questions
- direct questions
For example, below is the most basic structure for agree/disagree essays. In this structure, you simply agree or disagree and then explain the 2 reasons for why you agree/disagree:- Introduction: introduce the topic and respond to the question (give opinion)
- Paragraph 1: reason 1 why you agree/disagree
- Paragraph 2: reason 2 why you agree/disagree
- Conclusion: restate you opinion
The IELTS Task 2 Writing Course will walk you through all the different structures you can use.
- Read model essays and write a lot of practice essays!
