IELTS Writing Task 2: Planning a Band 7 Essay
How to plan and write an IELTS Writing Task 2 essay: identifying the essay type, building a clear position and developing body paragraphs.
Identify the essay type
Opinion, discussion, advantages/disadvantages, problem/solution and two-part questions each need a slightly different structure. Answer every part of the question.
Develop, don't decorate
Each body paragraph needs one clear main idea, an explanation and a specific example. Clear development matters more than advanced vocabulary.
