Congrats to all....plz suggest techniques for writing. I am stuck at 6.5...I am again writing the paper on 12th October
What I did differently, have a clear paraphrased introduction stating both ends and what my opinion is.
Down to the body, I used a number of uncommon words like, Certainly, despite the fact that, furthermore, therefore e.t.c. Avoid words like firstly, secondly e,t,c.
One paragraph to discuss one side of view, another paragraph to discuss your opinion. If the question says alternatives then you have to state more than one alternative.
Use punctuation marks. In my task 1 and 2, I used both colon and semi colon.
Have a simple paraphrased conclusion highlighting your points and still your stand. I did not use 'In conclusion,' but used 'Therefore,'
Have like 5-10mins to read again and correct errors (I didn't have the time to do this, I might have scored better but it is so important!)
Good luck!
Task 1, Dear Sir, should end with Yours sincerely,
Dear Sir/Madam, ends with Yours faithfully,
