4 Ways to Improve your Score in IELTS Writing Task 2

Many people know they need to improve their writing skills, but they have no
idea how to do it. Here are 4 ways you can boost your score in Writing Task 2:

1. Understand the exam.

You must first understand what IELTS Writing Task 2 is, what you are expected to do
and how to give the examiners what they want. This is the first stage and one that is often
overlooked.

2. Identify your weak areas.

If your car breaks down, you would try and identify which part caused the problem. If
you get sick, your doctor will run tests to find out the exact cause of your symptoms.

IELTS Writing Task 2 is exactly the same. We must first identify WHY you are not
getting the score you need before we can help you improve.

3. Fix the problems.

Now that we know what the problems are, we must fix them.

If your grammar needs work, fix those issues. If your vocabulary is lacking, work on
fixing this issue.

4. Practice and get feedback.

Practice alone will not help you. It is an essential part of your preparation, but you must
also get feedback on your work if you are really going to improve.

You wouldn‟t try to teach yourself how to drive without an instructor, would you?

Find someone who will give you accurate and helpful feedback on your work. Otherwise,
you will not be able to move to the last stage.

Now that you have understood what you need to do, you’ve identified the exact
areas you need to work on, you’ve improved those areas and received feedback on
your work, you are now ready to get the IELTS Writing Task 2 score you deserve.
 How to write a good IELTS Task 2 Essay
Here are several tips that will help you write a band 7 IELTS Task 2 Essay. To do better than this, you
generally need to be more natural and more accurate with your language use.

1. Answer the question directly.

Address each part of the question in your essay. Make sure that your conclusion clearly answers each one.

2. Have a clear and simple organisation that follows the question.

Write one paragraph for each part of the essay question. For example, if there are two smaller individual
questions, write one paragraph about each one.

3. Use simple and direct topic sentences.

Write very clear and fairly simple topic sentences for each paragraph. Make sure you use a different
sentence structure for each one. For example, you could write two different topic sentences as follows:

1. Working hard can lead to many health problems.

2. There are several monetary benefits of hard work.

4. Develop your ideas logically and clearly.

Don‟t worry about being original or especially clever Cleverness is not important. Having relevant and
developed ideas is. Therefore, generally focus on having two or three main ideas in each paragraph. Then,
for each idea, develop and extend it by:
a. explaining it further. E.g. by writing additional detail
b. giving an example
c. giving a reason why this is useful, important etc.
d. explaining the likely result of doing (or not doing) something, and explain why this supports your main
idea

5. Don’t worry about being complicated. Focus on including a mix of simple and
complicated sentences.

Although you need to have some complex sentences get a 7 or better, you also need accuracy. The best way
to do this is to have a large number of 100% correct simple sentences, and a number of easily formed
complex sentences that are also correct. Having short, 100% correct topic sentences helps with this.

6. Have a short direct introduction and a short conclusion that summaries your main
ideas AND answers the question directly.
Don‟t waste time on a lengthy introduction. Get straight to the point, and make sure that your last
introduction sentence directly links to what you will write about.
 Topic Type One
Argument Topic: In this topic there are two different sides or opinions, Or two opinions
are given in favor and against one subject. Finally, the learners are asked about their own
opinions.

Example:

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task .

Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no spcia lized knowledge of
following topic.

Some people tink that cities are the best place to live.Others prefer to live in a rural area
.Compare the advantages of living in the city to living in the country .

where would you prefer to live ? Give reason for your choice .

Give reason for your answer and include any relevant example from your exper ience , you
should write at lest 250 words .

# Way to know argumentative Topic.

 Two sides or their opinions on a particular subject, such as the likes or dislikes will be mentioned.
 Finally, students will be asked their own opinions about this two sides and want to know which one
they support.

Note: The question mention that two sides and their views on the leaving are referred. Finally
learners are asked their own opinion regarding it. This type of topic is called “Argument Topic
or Argumentative Topic” because in this case students have to explain both sides of arguments
and give their own opinion at the end of it.

Problems: I have read many of these kinds of essays from students, and have noticed that
many get mixed up they try to talk about the advantages and disadvantages instead or opinion
essay. This confusing because if you do this, you are often writing erroneous way having a
particular point of view.

Instead, you need to focus on the reasons for each argument. To help you with this, focus on
starting sentences with words that talk about the views of the people on each side.
For example:

• Some believe that

• Others argue that
• It is argued that
• It can be argued that
• It is often / sometimes said that
• They say this because
• This is because
• They reason that

When you read the example essays, you will notice that ideas are often supported by talking
about the consequences.

For example:

• If this were done, x would happen

• They argue that this is a terrible idea because it would result in noun / something happening.

To help you with this try to follow the following steps:

1. Read the question carefully! Underline the key positions to discuss.
2. When you brainstorm, make notes on why each side is likely to believe their position.
Add examples, and consequences (the impacts) of doing it or not doing it.
3. When you re-read your essay, look through all the ways you referred to the people. Can
you replace any of the references with phrases above?
 “Argument Essay” Structure.

# Introduction
 General Statement

 Topic Sentence – 1 (Your supporting side)

 Topic Type Tow

Opinion Topic:- In this question a statement or an opinion is given and learners

are asked they support this statement or not. Learners have to select any of it and
explain it logically with reliable example. Whereas learners are to explain other‟s
statement through their own opinion that‟s why, it is called “Opinion Topic”.

Example
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task .

Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no spcia lized knowledge of
following topic.
Wild animals have no use in the 21st century and trying to preserve animals now it just wastage of money.

To what extend do you agree on disagree with the above statement?

Give reason for your answer and include any relevant example from your exper ience , you
should write at lest 250 words .

# Way to identify opinion topic

 A particular statement or an opinion will be mentioned.

 Student will be asked that they support or not that statement.

Problems:- One of the common problems with opinion essays is the idea of balanced or
a one-sided essay. Most of the time you are expected to write a “balanced” essay. However,
when you have a firm point of view on a topic, you do not need to do this.
The other problem is that many students misunderstand what a “thesis” or “opinion-led” essay
actually is, and whether or not you need to write one.
Always remember that there is no one way to answer and essay. You do not need to start with a
“this” or “opinion” with an opinion essay if you do not want to do. It is totally acceptable to
discuss different aspects of the question and then reach a decision in your conclusion.

To help you with this try to follow the following steps:

1. Read the question carefully! People often misunderstand exactly what the question is about
2. Brainstorm ideas around the question. Do you have enough ideas to talk about one point of view? Or are
you better off discussing it in more than one way?
3. Decide how you will tackle the problem as you plan out your answer. Make brief notes for your topic
sentences, as well as examples and reasons.

4. When you write your introduction, make sure you start in a simple and direct way that fits your plan. For
example, your last introduction sentence could be: “This essay will explain why smoking should be banned.”
Or, it could be “This essay will discuss whether or not this is a good idea.”

5. Stick to your plan! helps you focus on using the language and connecting your ideas in the best way that you
can.

6. Read over your essay again at the end and check that the introduction, topic sentences, and conclusion all
directly related to the question

 Topic Type Three

Advantages & Disadvantages:- IELTS advantages and disadvantages

questions normally give you a statement and ask you to comment on the advantages
and disadvantages of that statement.

The problem is that there are 3 different types of advantages and disadvantages
essay and they each require a different approach. If you answer them in a different
way then you risk losing lots of easy marks.

Question 1

In some countries, young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year
between finishing high school and starting university studies.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decided to do this.

Question 2

Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign
language at primary schools rather than secondary school.

Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

Question 3

Computers are becoming an essential part of school lessons.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages and give your own opinion.

# Way to identify Advantages & Disadvantages topic

 Question 1 simply asks us to discuss the advantages and disadvantages. It

does not ask for our opinion or say which side is better or worse, so we should
not include this information in our answer.

This requires a simple structure in which the student will look at the
advantages in one paragraph and the disadvantages in the other.
  Question 2 is different because we have to say if the advantages are stronger
than the disadvantages. Notice I didn‟t say „if there are more advantages than
disadvantages‟. The question is not asking you to talk about numbers but
comment on the overall weight of the advantages or disadvantages. For
example, there are a huge number of advantages to travelling by private jet,
but there is one huge disadvantage (the cost) that stops most people from
flying that way and therefore the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

In this example, we will have to decide which side (advantages or

disadvantages) is stronger and this will affect our structure. If you choose
advantages then you will have to say why these are much stronger than the
disadvantages and why the disadvantages don‟t hold much weight. You would
also have to make this clear in your thesis statement.

 Question 3 is different again because it is more like an opinion essay and a

discussion essay at the same time. Your structure will reflect this by having a
paragraph for advantages and disadvantages but also having a clear position
on the statement.

Topic Type Four

Problems & Solutions:- Problem solution essays are a type of essay question
sometimes given to you in the test. In this type of essay you need to discuss the problems with
regards to a particular topic and then suggest possible solutions to these problems. One of the
first things you want to make sure that you are able to do is identify one of these questions
when it arises.

Example
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task .

Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no spcia lized knowledge of
following topic.

Global warming is one of the biggest threats humans face in the 21st Century and sea
levels are continuing to rise at alarming rates.

What problems are associated with this and what are some possible solutions.

Give reason for your answer and include any relevant example from your exper ience , you
should write at lest 250 words .

# Way to identify Problems & Solutions topic

 One or two problems will be given
 Candidate will be asked the reasons and some possible solutions
Problems
One of the first things an IELTS student does when they see something that looks like a problem solution essay,
is they immediately start writing in a certain way. Don‟t do this!

Instead, you need to carefully look at exactly what you have to write about. This is because there are many
different ways these kinds of questions can work.

They often mix different kinds of questions. For example, you might have to:

A. Discuss at least two solutions and choose one

B. Describe problems e.g. talk about the negative effects to these problems
C. Evaluate a solution that the question already gives you
D. Explain the causes of something e.g. explain the things that cause a problem
E. Or any combination of the above

This means that the first thing you need to do is look at the question carefully!

To help you with this try to follow the following steps

I use “problem-solution essays” to refer to all the combinations above.

1. Read the question carefully! Decide how many paragraphs you need to write, and
whether you need to write about problems, explain causes, or offer solutions.
2. When you brainstorm, make sure you use appropriate language to that paragraph:
a) Problems:- Explain why it is a problem. Give examples, and use some effect
language.
b) Causes:- explain the underlying causes and immediate causes. Use cause language
e.g. this leads to …, this causes….
c) Solutions:-
i. Suggest options. E.g. One possibility is …
ii. Explain this in more detail and/or offer an example
iii. Explain how this solution will solve the problem. E.g. Doing this would ….
iv. Point out the obstacles involved with this solution. E.g. is it expensive, would
it take a long time to work?
3. When you re-read your essay, make sure you have written about each section of the
question, and check that you answered the final question (if any)

Topic Type Five

Narrative Topic:- In question, learners are asked one or more different kind of
question on an specific topic. Learners are told to write a narrative essay by their
own logic and knowledge.

Example
You should spend about 40 minutes on this task .

Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no spcia lized knowledge of
following topic.
Different countries of the world have different cultures. But today these cultures are
being mixed up and it curves people to loss their own culture of the society or race.

What do you think the reason for people to lose their own culture?
How can it be preserve?

# Way to identify narrative topic

 A particular subject wil be mentioned.

 You will be asked one or more questions regarding it

Problems
Direct essay questions often look a little like other question types. They could include aspects of
solutions, problems, opinions, advantages, and what people think.

When you are confronted with this kind of essay, the best thing to do is to focus on the
questions. Let these be your guide! Plan a topic sentence and a paragraph that clearly addresses
each question. Look at the example below to see what I mean. I‟ve added the numbers to the
question to make it clearer.

Question:

The mass production of cars has revolutionised the way people live and work.

1. What alternatives might there be?

2. How will these changes in transport effect our working and private lives?
3. Will cars still be vital in the near future?

An essay has been written to demonstrate below

Some people think that cities are the best place to live. Others prefer to live in a rural area Where would you
prefer to live? Give reason for your choice.
Compare the advantages of living in the city to living in the country.

Step -1 Now you should read the question carefully and understand as possible as you can. Than analysis the
question and select key word within 3 minutes because time management is very important.
Question Analysis:- According to the question the main key word is “Living” so we have to write
about living and there are two subjects here.

1. A group of people believe cities is the best place to live

2. Other things village is appropriate place for living

# Task

1. Compare the advantages of village and city

2. Select which one you like and explain why you like it

To analysis the question we can understand question is an “Argument (Agree Two points of view /
Disagree/ /Both sides) essays” because there are two different object and three different tasks in
this question. So you have to write the essay according to argument essay structure.

Step -2 Create an idea list according above analysis within 5 minutes. Remember never spend more than 8
minutes for analysis and idea list even you can write it very short form or in Bangla too, because time is very
important. So finish all this as early as possible and start writing main easy.

IDEA LIST

City Village
Proper educational opportunity. Hygienic environment
Modern treatment facility Fresh Food
Up to date communication and transportation Low living cost
system.
More space
Typical social security system
Job facilities.

Note:- Now mark those points you want to write first. First of all you have to write most important and
supportive point.
 How to Write Introduction
 To began the introduction you have to write a general statement depend on main topic point, in this
essay the main topic is Living, so write an overall sentence about living. Remember your general
sentence is not any quotation.

General Statement

inhabitants are becoming city dwellers, but choosing a place of living has been a matter of great concern from
the time of antiquity.

Or

for people, but People opine differently while choosing the living places.

 Thesis Statement

you have to give a short statement, but remember it will not be your supporting point or opinion.

INTRODUCTION
In this era of globalization, the world has witnessed a paradigm shift in migrating and these
days more rural inhabitants are becoming city dwellers, but choosing a place of living has been
a matter of great concern from the time of antiquity. Certain people like to live in the country
area while others choose to stay in the city centre. In my perception both sides have different
argument in discussion.

Writing Body Paragraph- 1

On the one hand, one a group of people prefer to live in the city centre and believe that there are numerous
benefits living in the area. It is a fact that the city offers various kinds of facilities, such as sound security
system, education, communication and transport facilities of the city are very well organized. One can get these
crucial opportunities effortlessly around his neighborhood, which are certainly absent in villages. Furthermore,
available job opportunity is another factor that furnishes people to live in cities. Almost all of the government
and non government offices, corporate office of all industries, most bank and insurance companies are in the
city. So people can easily manage a suitable job at anytime, rather village cannot provide such facility at all.
Thinking all those, some people opine to live in cities.
 Writing Body Paragraph- 2
One the other hand, villagers are benefited with many invaluable assets those are completely absent in cities
such as fresh air and water. There is no intense pollution with smoke, Carbon-DI-oxide. City can provide
security against visible foes but not such silent enemies namely toxic air and water. Besides, rate of commodity
as like food, education, treatment, living and so on are generally higher in a city than that in a village. Likewise,
we can‟t eliminate the density of population that all most absent in village. Presume that a group of people
prefer to live in village.

CONCLUTION
In my case, I prefer to live in the city. I feel relaxed and comfortable staying in my own city. There are lots of
facilities I can't deny are presented in my city and those are the invaluable part of my lifestyle. Moreover, I like
to lead a busy and challenging life and want to be connected with the world which is truly impossible in the
village.
