Task Essays: tips

IELTS essays get marked quickly. You don’t want to allow the examiner to make a mistake. So make life easy for him/her by showing the structure of your essay as clearly as possible. There are 4 places you do this – what I think of as being the spine of the essay.

the introduction – that’s the first thing they read and where you make your first impression and first impressions count

the first sentence of each paragraph (x2) – examiners are taught that each paragraph should have one main idea – show them what it is in the first sentence

the conclusion – that’s the last thing they read and the first thing they remember!

The key is link these things together so that

the introduction matches the conclusion – the opinion/point of view is the same: you just need to change the language

the two body paragraphs link to the opinion/point view in the introduction

Think clearly about your opinion/point of view

You want your point of view to be clear. My basic rule is that if you can’t say in 2 sentences, it’s too complex. So part of the planning process may be deleting ideas that are too complex or that you can’t express clearly in English.
