What to expect in IELTS Writing Task 2:
🖋️ You must write an essay in response to a question.
📋 It is important that you write 250 words or more.
⌛ You should spend around 40 minutes on this section of the IELTS test.
📝 Task 2 is worth 2/3 of your total mark for IELTS Writing.
🗝️ The key to doing well is knowing exactly what the examiners want and giving it to them.
***
How you will be assessed in IELTS Writing Task 2:
✔️ Task Achievement (25%)
✔️ Coherence and Cohesion (25%)
✔️ Lexical Resource (25%)
✔️ Grammatical Range and Accuracy (25%)
***
Your questions answered:
❓ Should I use personal pronouns in my essay?
📚 You should try to avoid using these, but it is fine to use them when giving your personal opinion.
❓Will using lots of idioms and phrasal verbs boost my score?
📚 No! You should not use idioms in Writing Task 2.
❓ Is it possible for me to score a Band 8?
📚 Yes! However, the average IELTS score is 5.5, so you need to work EXTRA hard to get a Band 8.
❓ How many paragraphs should I write?
📚 Four. Most IELTS Writing Task 2 essays follow the same basic four paragraph structure:
Introduction - Main Body Paragraph 1 - Main Body Paragraph 2 - Conclusion
❓ Will I lose marks if I don’t write enough words?
📚 Yes. If you don’t write at least 250 words, you will lose marks in ‘Task Achievement’ for not answering the question fully:(

Got my IELTS results today, I'm proud to say I got an 8.5 in academic writing.
Can't thank this channel enough!!!
Both the CZcams videos and the materials freely available online have been an enormous help, especially when I prepared for the writing exam.
Thank you, Chris!!!
And no, I'm not being paid to say this.
That's great news! Congratulations!

@@Ieltsadvantage i have attempted my ielts exam two times and always got 5.5 in writing 😔
@@Ieltsadvantage
Hi Mr. Christopher Pell!
Could you please tell me the difference between memorising the answers for speaking and practising speaking questions? While practising I guess you already memorise (learn the answers) because the sentences come out automatically.
Hello kirubel የአገር ልጅ 😂 could you share your experience with me?
@@kirankaur9793 then you should check marking criterias and band descriptors and understand what IELTS is asking from you and what is your weakness .
Got 8 overall in December 17, 2022 ielts exam. I followed your writing videos and got 7.5 in writing. I want to add that I was actually hesistant in following your ideas such as no intro line, no 'this essay will explain'... because EVERYONE guides to write these so not following the suit seemed risky to me. However, the risk was worth it and I did exactly what you tell in your videos (no intro, no this essay will explain and solid examples...) and got 7.5 in W. I am grateful for your guidance. Thankyou!
This is amazing news. Congratulations!
Amazing information and guidance. Thank you so much.
I also need 8 bands in writing, can u share your writing material for help
@@shikhapassi1103 hey bro, can you share your IELTS material with me please
I need 7.5 band
I got an 8.5 overall! Your videos helped me a lot in my ielts preparation, your tips on all the sections, especially writing. It also increased my confidence in speaking.
Congratulations! That's a fantastic score. If you ever need any help in the future, you know where we are.

Spending depends so I partially agree. I ll discuss following ideas
1- geography: mountain vs plane
2- budget of govt
3- availability of material
4- number of passengers
You can choose as per your generation of idea .
Id say maybe it’s the quality
And how much the government are willing to dpend
this is an eye opener. Thank you for sharing this video. My IELTS comes up this month. Hoping for the best

Hi Chris, I took the IELTS last June 3, 2020. I was stuck at 6.5 for a long time, and because of your video, I was able to score 7. Thank you so much! You are correct in so many ways! It's not really about using sophisticated vocabulary or having complex ideas but how you really understand, plan about what you're going to write, and make sure you've expressed your opinions clearly (coherence).
That's fantastic! Congratulations for your success!
I'm glad you kept it simple and got the score you deserve :)
I have managed to score 6.5 from 6.0 after watching IELTS advantage lessons and hoping to score 7.0 in future.
Hi Chris, my IELTS exam is scheduled in the first week of August. All that I am doing now is practicing and watching your videos. Thanks a lot!

Thank you this is really helpful! However I think that when they ask "To what extent do you agree or disagree?" you should write something more like, for example, "strongly" or "totally" because they are asking "To what extent..."
We should write 70/30 approach in what extent essay??
East and west you are the best. You make ilets easier for me because you are proving real information and real tricks

It would be really great if you made a video like this about every type of questions not just opinion
i was watching another video and everything that he put in the donts were part of a good introduction, wow very funny, i guess its also up to us as students to put one and two together
Yes this video is very educative..Chris your are amaizing.Every IELTS student should watch this.

www.ieltsadvantage.com/2015/03/03/ielts-writing-task-2-essay-structures/
Good luck with your test! You can do it.
Thank you Chris. But is it right to say " I have wrote"? you used this sentence frequently and I have trouble with using present perfect and 'wrote' instead of written. I am looking forward for your convincing answer.
You're very welcome! Yes, that is correct. 'I have written' or 'I have wrote' are both correct.
If you need any clarification on this, please email us at chris@ieltsadvantage.com.
I thought that sounded inappropriate. I would rather, "I have written'"
Thankyou so much, I was looking up videos and getting overwhelmed by the wide range of information and all the tips and strategies they were talking about, your video really made it simple and clear. I will post my marks after I give my exam. Hopefully I'll get the band I wish thanks to your help.😊❤️
