if anyone have books of band 9 essay... could you please share it... My mail ID is anwarshanid@gmail.com
Thanks so much. That is my problem, m unable to get relevant ideas. How to improve, is there any essay bank or website where I can get ideas from.also, today was my 2nd attempt at ielts, my essay was fine but I wrote only 142 words for letter , however , all parts were answered but they could have been developed more. What effect will it have on my writing score
First thought is this essay looks little short. it may be just about 250 words. My suggestion would be to write about 265/270 words to be safe on actual exam.
I personally don't like essays written in "third person". I know some websites / online tutors write this was "this essay will ...". I find it unappealing.
I think the context of the essay is entirely different from what you have actually written. It is your interpretation but I'm not sure how much an actual examiner would agree with this interpretation of the topic. In my opinion, you are way off. The essay actually wants you to discuss whether media intrusion is justified or not. publishing someone's charity donations is not media intrusion per se. It is media intrusion when media publishes something which is related to personal lives of people. So I think you have missed the main point.
Honestly, I think positives are that your writing is very clean. the sentences and paragraphs flow and I don't need to read a sentence again to understand what it conveys.
But the negative is that you are way off target according to me in this one. It may depend on examiner but you may get stuck with 6.5 with this one.
You definitely need to read more essays.
There is no specific website that I followed for essay bank but there are several websites and free essays available online. Just search for a particular essay topic if you are struggling for ideas. And when you find ideas which you like note them down in a notebook and create your idea bank by topic. As it is there are handful of topics which are asked in IELTS. It won't take more than 4-5 days of effort to create a document with essay ideas. But key still remains is to understand the question and not just copy paste the ideas you already have. Slight tweaks may be needed on actual exam question.Thanks so much. That is my problem, m unable to get relevant ideas.

@cansha Please evaluate my 2nd essay.
Thank you in advance.
In order to solve traffic problems, government should tax private cars heavily and use the money to improve public transport.
What are advantages and disadvantages of such solution?
Overall good introduction!Due to the spurt in traffic congestion issues and to combat with it, personal car owners should be charged with hefty amount of tax. The revenue should later be used for betterment of public transport. Good
This solution will greatly reduce the number of cars on road, however, affording a car for an individual will become an arduous task. I saw your second paragraph and your argument is good. This phrase could be a little better to show what you actually mean here.
Well written!One unequivocal advantage of this step is the decline in number of cars on road, which will directly be helpful in reduction of air pollution to great extent. Furthermore, people will get more inclined towards alternatives like car-pooling, bus, metro train etc. Lastly, the revenue generated from the taxes can easily be used improving the infrastructure of public transport services such as increasing the fleet of buses/trains, creating better connectivity between different locations by introducing more routes and so on. This will encourage people to use more public conveyance instead of their own cars.
Idea progression is good. Well written.On the other hand, there are certain disadvantages as well. This phrase has no value as stand alone. If you want such an opening may be combine this sentence and the basic idea of second sentence to make a good complex sentence.
Firstly, despite of the fact that individual is already paying an income tax, an additional heavy amount of tax can possibly lead a middle or lower middle-class person to be under crisis.
Buying a car for a family where it is a pivotal need due to unavailability of better public transport, will become quite a difficult task. Good
Finally, due to the poor car sales, auto manufacturers will also become reluctant to invest or introduce new products in a country. This will impact nation’s relationships with automakers and will affect the nation’s economy too. Good argument. Could be a little more clear but good. Because if you think about it a normal person may not be able to make connection between relation with global car makers with a nation. A better or rather a simpler argument would have been that declining auto sales may lead to job losses etc and hence impact on economy. Just make that connection between declining economy and declining car sales a little more simple.
Conclusion is okay. It could be a little better if you could reiterate the points of essay in conclusion.In conclusion, imposing high amount of taxes on personal car owners is like a double-edged sword. Government should introduce such regulations keeping both positive and negative aspects in mind.

Thank you @canshaOverall good introduction!

Overall, the "growth" from your previous essay to this one is astounding. You deserve a lot of credit and your hard work is visible. This essay will fetch a good score in the exam. I have a few suggestions noted in the essay for your consideration. Use them if they make sense to you. if not, still good.
I think your exam is in 4 days. So all the best!

You can take both routes. So you can focus entirely on why staying in a nation is the best way to learn a language.PEople learn better a language better, if he stays in a country where it is spoken. Discuss this view and give your opinion,
In this case do we need to discuss both sides ? Or give views only why it is an advantage to stay in the Nation where that language is spoken?
Thanks, however I agreed with the statement and gave 1st reason that as people will be able to practice their skills while speaking with natives and second para reason, that even Teachers who teach native language will have better hold on it and will be able to impart better learning to people so that they become good speakers.You can take both routes. So you can focus entirely on why staying in a nation is the best way to learn a language.
Or you can write one BP on why it makes sense to stay in a nation to learn a language. But your opinion is that it is not necessary to stay in a place to learn a language and you can do it by learning apps, watching films etc. and in other BP you discuss alternatives to learn a language without being present in a nation where it is spoken natively.

It's fine I just gave that as an example that even in that case if you wanted to disagree you can make some points.Thanks, however I agreed with the statement and gave 1st reason that as people will be able to practice their skills while speaking with natives and second para reason, that even Teachers who teach native language will have better hold on it and will be able to impart better learning to people so that they become good speakers.
I think, I think quite differently. What are your suggestions.
