IELTS Writing Task 2 is
the second part of the writing test, where you are presented with a point of
view, argument or problem and asked to write an essay in response. Your essay
should be in a formal style, at least 250 words in length and you should aim to
complete it in under 40 minutes.
These IELTS writing task 2 lessons, strategies and
tips will show you how to write an IELTS essay. They go through all the various
types of essay that you may get and instructions on how to best answer them.
5 Steps to a Band 7 in IELTS Writing Task 2:
1.
Understand the question.
You must understand the question before you attempt to answer it. This way, you’ll know exactly
what the examiner is looking for. One of the biggest mistakes students make is
not answering the question fully, which stops them from getting a score higher
than a Band 5.
To analyze the question, you must first
identify the question type, then identify the keywords in the question and
finally identify the instructions words. This will help you understand exactly
what the examiner wants you to do with the question.
2.
Plan your answer.
The students who get the highest marks in Writing
Task 2 always plan their answers for up to 10 minutes. Planning helps
you organise your ideas and structure your essay before you write it, saving
you time and helping you produce a clear and coherent essay.
3.
Write an introduction.
The introduction should tell the examiner
what the rest of the essay is about and also answer the question directly. This
tells the examiner that you know what you are doing straight away and helps you
write your main body paragraphs.
4.
Write the main body paragraphs.
This is where you give the examiner more detail.
You do this by stating your main points and supporting these with explanations
and relevant examples.
5.
Write a conclusion.
In your conclusion, you should provide a
summary of what you already said in the rest of your essay.
