GO for EOR. Looking at other scores there is a good chance to get a 7 on reval.
IELTS - Writing - For Band 7 or Above.
- Thread starter H0peAndFa1th
- Start date
I am not sure if I will go for it. I did a mistake in task 2 in task response by not mentioning about negative of delayed marriage in detail. Focused on delayed parenthood. Perhaps, this is the reason for my lower score. Anyway, thanks Cansha for being a superb mentor and for showing me the right direction.
sad, but
It seems you exactly know what mistake you made, you digressed, we discussed this many times here. staying on topic is the first requirement of band 7 - task achievement.
hope you will make it this time.
have you booked any other test date ?
why ?
take a deep breath and follow simple steps,
>> don't think about whole paragraph at first,
think about first line instead.
>> write whole para one lines one by one : like
To begin with, it is known fact that practice improves learning, if students will revise the topic learned at school in form of home work exercise then their ability to understand the topic will improve and it will be retained for much longer period.
Now stop at here - leave a line on paper then write your second line. it is for practice
Researchers at Oxford university found that, working on 3 to 4 simple exercises within a period of 24 hours will improve the retention for upto 6 months, for example.
again stop it, that is fake example by the way - these 2 lines has 73 words, we need 90 words in one paragraph- so only 17 words left
Hence, it is provident to give students light home work exercise which will help them in long term.
there you have 91 words.
I find this technique to be most effective, it saves time, reduce stress, literally there is nothing much to do.
intro : 40
BP1 :90
BP2 :90
Conclusion : 40
that's 260 words.
Hello friends,
Please help me to solve my problems with writing.
1. I'm absolutely clueless after reading the essay title.
I'm introverted. My nation is ruled by communism, citizens rarely ask for something or propose social plans.
For some topics that I'm keen on like Nature, Environment, Health, I can write. But for topics like city plan, shopping, music, art, culture,..., I struggle, both writing and speaking. Even if I was asked and answer in my mother tongue, I still can not think about any ideas. I have read essays from Simon, Chris Pell, and some domestic teachers, but I believe that's not enough. I expect you would recommend me reading by topics, and topics are limited. However, I think that one topic creates many types of essays. Still, I can not grasp all. I believe that this is the problem of fortune. I mean, you are lucky when you meet a familiar or easy question in test day. Here, easy means you have ideas and knowledge.
2. I'm confused how is " orginize and support ideas logically ".
My essays were marked by some domestic teachers. Although I had explained and supported main ideas, teachers said they aren't persuasive, of course not all essays, but I should practice until all of my essays sound fine. Though, I think it's kinda subjective.
What do you think, friends? Please correct my mind as I only sit the exam one time. Meager budget.
Thank you.

Did they give you reasons why the essays were not persuasive? Did you agree with the reasons? What were the improvements suggested?
If you can show us some actual essays and comments may be we can try to help.
Almost everyone struggles in some essay topics. And, it would be very difficult to feel that all your essays should be perfect before you can take the exam. However, there are a few things you can control about the essay.
1. Grammar
2. Vocab - Lexical resources.
Yes that's true but I still feel you can still understand the topic by reading essays and do a fair job at task response. Again, it is difficult to give suggestions based on the information you have given. It seems like you did read essays on topic but still struggled in writing essay when the essay was on the same topic but question was different. Can you share some examples of what essay topic you read but still struggled in writing essay.
Dear Cansha and friends,
Here is my original essay. I had expected it would be a good one, but my teacher gave me 6.5. Then I stop writing. I wrote this essay in 2 hours because my approach is writing a good essay first, then reducing writing time.
When I paste the remarked essay, it can not perform his comments clearly. How can I send you that essay?
Please stop reading and read my next message.
In many countries, the number of crimes committed by young people has increased. What are the causes of this? What can parents and teachers do to help solve the problem?
The increasing juvenile crime is a pressing issue that need to be addressed in many societies. This problem is attributed to video games or a materialistic lifestyle and can be resolved by parents’supervision and education in school.
There are two compelling reasons why the percentage of young criminals has been on the increase. The first one is the exposure to violent and illegal acts in films and video games, which is facilitated by the ubiquity of the internet. Some of the young may unconciously absorb these bad behaviors and consider crimes as normal or heroic actions, which could result in committing crimes. Another cause is the growing trend of materialistic lifestyles which render people, particularly young ones, obsessed with luxuries such as designer clothes and expensive accessories. As not many parents can afford these items, some adolescents might turn to crimes such as pickpocketing, burglary or even murdering as long as they have money to fulfil this negative desire regardless of repercussions.
In order to remedy this situation, parents and teachers, who have profound influences on the youth, should pay more attention to them. Parents should encourage their children to get involved in healthy hobbies such as sports and outdoor activities in place of sitting in front of the screen for hours. Joining with children is the best way to keep them amuse and foster a long-lasting interest in these positive pastime. Meanwhile, teachers can help educate students about punishments of convicting criminals as well as legal records which will follow a criminal all his life. Being informed with these essential laws, the youth would abstain crimes.
In conclusion, the popularity of violent video games and the materialism are the two main culprits of the increasing rate of juvenile crimes and parents’concerns coupled with education about laws in school can help combat this.

Are famous people treated unfairly by the media? Should they be given more privacy, or is the price of their fame an invasion into their private life?
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Owing to the competitiveness in journalism business, companies opting all the possibilities to intrude into the famous peoples' lives to built a sensational story in order to capture more eyeballs. Sometimes, this originates poor treatment towards the national icons by media companies and I strongly assert that, prestigious personalities should receive more personal space and careful handling.
There are numerous reason why media houses often handles the affluent people in an unjustified manner. Firstly, it turns their small movements a breaking news to engage more viewers. To exemplify, news channels go after celebrities when they spend their leisure in other countries with someone. Secondly, they often encourages hot shot people only which left, other talented people from the small towns underexposed to the audience . Lastly, these companies only follow people until they go off the lime light and then they does not bother to care about them.
Rich and famous people must be given more space as even money cannot be a substitute to sacrifice it. Firstly, every individual should have freedom to live freely to recreate themselves without being invaded by other elements. To Exemplify, companies must not disturb people when they are on their honeymoon. Secondly, human needs their own time when they are dealing with relationship crisis or phases and this must not be exposed to the rest of the world. Lastly, rich people has their own way of spending the money therefore, news companies emphasizing on it will lead the common people spends more to achieve big cars, foreign trips etc. as opposed to their income level.
To conclude, news companies must not create headlines by invading into their private space of the rich and famous people.
Please Review and be brutal!
