- Drawing from a wealth of experience marking over 10,000 essays, I distil key insights to help you grasp the fundamentals of successful IELTS writing.
We'll begin by analyzing a Band 6 essay, identifying its strengths and weaknesses across essential evaluation criteria: Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy. This exercise will provide a clear view of many IELTS candidates' common hurdles.
Then, we'll step up the game, transforming the Band 6 essay into a Band 8. Through this transformation, we'll delve into refining coherence, improving vocabulary usage, and polishing grammar. This practical demonstration will provide a vivid understanding of the differences between a Band 6 and a Band 8 essay.
By the end of this video, you'll be equipped with practical strategies and insights to upgrade your IELTS writing skills. This content is tailored for anyone aiming to improve their IELTS writing, regardless of their current level.

00:00 Introduction
01:04 Band 6 Essay Analysis
25:32 Transform 6.0 to 8.0
Short Summary:
What makes the difference when writing?
- Coherence - always ask, "So what?"
- Logic - remove sentences that don't make sense
- Choose the easiest idea to write about and have a clear position
- Don't use fancy vocabulary; otherwise, you're likely to make many mistakes.
- Don't become Socrates in the process :D
You taught me in 46 minutes what I could not learn in 4 months and I wasted both my money and time in coaching. Thank you from the bottom of my heart♥
You're very welcome!
Same bro

The best guru ever really love all ur videos

I was stuck in 6.5 in my writing… but this time I followed only your videos and everything you said we should do. I got a 7 today with an overall band score of 8. Thanks so much.
I got stuck too 6.5 three times every other things reading.listening imoroved and speaking stays at 7 please advice me too hw you imoroved it
Your unyielding determination for the hope of helping the candidates to improve their English is awsome and deserves respect.
This is actually one of the most realistic and valuable content about the writing topic among thousands I have seen so far. I wish I got these advice earlier than this. Much appreciation, Chris!
Edit: I got an overall 7.5 from exam last week. The best part is 6.5 for writing section because I could only write an introduction for the task 1 (yes! Almost all score is coming from task 2!)
This is still the best guide for a successful writing. My appreciation is for the whole team!
Wow, thank you!
Advices (incorrect)
Advice (correct)
you never cease to impress me, you now have what I need to ace my writing as well, i really appreciate how you always refer to the ielts marking scheme to explain rationales behind each and everything we should and shouldn't do
Your honest nature with your students separates you from other IELTS teachers
🌚🖤
this video completely blows my mind, i've been taught how to write an essay by my teacher, and up to now, i'm so confused about the money and also efforts that I put into the whole writing process, but i have no chance to be hesitant so I'll follow your writing style, since you're more reliable at some points, thanks a lot chris
"Who cares about your brother" was hilarious 😂
😂😂
It is simple, clear, classic, and precise. I pray it helps 🙏🏻
Another IELTS EXAM is ahead of next month. Your videos are useful to students heading for IELTS exam. Impacts of learning from your videos are very much influencing. Thanks to your team for such wonderful effort.
I really appreciate that valuable knowledge like this is now available to watch for free on CZcams.
Thank you so much for your time.
After watching your videos about writing, my thinking was totally changed. I got overall 7.5 with 7.0 in writing in January. Thank you so much
Great job! Congratulations!
I recently managed to get a 8.5 overall in the IELTS academic exam and this channel was my main source of learning materials and strategies. Thank you so much for providing us with invaluable information about the test as well as making it much less daunting than what some teachers claim it to be.
Congratulations! If you ever need our help in the future, you know where to contact us.

Thank you very much! I truly find that many videos and books never explain why and teach the wrong way.
omg one of the best videos about IELTS writing part, thank you so much!
I can’t believe I’m excited to watch this
Me either :)
@@Ieltsadvantage
Is me neither ok?
xD
@@fardinhasanshuvo"me either" is also correct. Google it
@@fardinhasanshuvoisn't it for negative meanings
I've never thought that watching a single video on youtube could improve my writing score from 5.5 to 7, like hoooooow😂😭 Thank you for your amazing job, you've changed my perception of IELTS writing task 2!
Great job!
This is actually one of the very few channels that taught me something valuable.
Thankyou so muchh
I really used to think exactly like you said. Surprised to know that fancy words, complex poetry, and grammar would just do nothing but a headache to the examinee. Thanks a lot. Now I know, simplicity and clarity is the key :D
One of the pure content for IELTS essay writing. Those who are struggling with this section will obviously take away higher insights for high band score strategy. Thanks Chris Sir. ❤
You are most welcome! If you have any questions or need our team to help you prepare for your exam, please feel free to contact us.
Hey chris,I can't thank youu enough,I mean you're so genuine and kind that you really want your students to excel their skills rather than some CZcamsrs who will give you some magical words to get the desired band score. You're doing an amazing job,god bless you and your family. I got overall band 7 and the videos regarding writing was a lifesaver since i didn't get enough time to prepare..I'll strongly recommend this channel for ielts preparations.
Thank you for your kind words! Congratulations! If you ever need our help in the future, you know where to contact us.
This video of yours gives me a lot of ideas that I did not know before. I have learned so many important strategies by watching this.
I can't emphasize enough how helpful your video lessons are and they're totally free! thank you so much for all the effort you put into your videos!
You're very welcome!
Hi Chris, I can't thank you enough for all the IELTS lessons that you've created on CZcams. I had just a month to prepare for my academic test and you were a great help. I received my results today and got a band 7.5 in writing by using your strategies (my weakest component), and an overall band 8. Please continue sharing your insights and I believe that everyone out there taking the exam will greatly benefit from your content!
Excellent! Congratulations!
Can you give any advices ?
can you give any advices for reading and speaking skill?
@hoyaps can you please share hwo you did writing task 2
How was your score before you listen crisis advices
That was so informative ,helpful and shocking at the same time ! and represents how experienced you are, huge thanks for your effort!
Crystal clear explanation. Well done Chris and Thank you!
You have enclosed the knowledge of 1000 video and a lot of teachers in a single video. U are truely the god of ielts eassy writing.❤
Hats off Mr. Chris, I have never learned these amazing techniques in my whole life. I have no words to thank you enough. Keep it on ❤ god bless you.
Hi! I really like your channel and watch this to help teach my own students and even my wife.
Thank you sir this help a lot for student like me who is working and at the same time studying for ielts exam Godbless
duly noted! This video is truly for learners like me who need to overcome obstacles when it comes to self studying writing skill. This has given me a deeper understanding into the way IELTS writing essays are marked and how learners like me should write in order to get our desired band score. hope this video will be widespread soon. Appreciate your work and many thanks for this, teacher.
Glad it was helpful! If you have any questions or need our team to help you prepare for your exam, please feel free to contact us.
you are a reliable teacher for us eager to learn. Thanks Chris
My pleasure!
I used to write pretty much the same as the first essay that you analyzed and got a 6.5 on IELTS writing two months ago. As an Asian student, I was taught to memorize a bunch of memorized sentences in order to apply to every essay so this video really helps me a lot. Thank you so much for helping me and other learners recognize our mistakes, Mr Chris!
Thank you for sharing your experience! Glad it helped. if you need further guidance, please reach out to us.
i need a speaking partner
Idk how I got recommended this video but as a fluent speaker this was very insightful to watch, seeing what it's like for ppl to learn a language you're already fluent in
While I was watching ur video I was thinking about how much u look like my russian language teacher in school. We have an exam EGE by Russian language and also have an essay like this in video and my teacher spoke in ur words (about the sense, about the criteria etc.) I felt like i had Deja vu. My Russian teacher was a professional(she taught people how to write essays with the highest grades), so I’m sure that u have a lot of experience and know exactly how to write an essay! Thank u very much for sharing ur experience!
Following the steps Chris highlighted in this video, and other videos on reading and listening, I got an 8.0 in writing and an overall 8.5 score. Thanks a lot Chris.
Fantastic!
Huge
thanks a lot Chris! It was my first time taking the IELTS exam as I need it for studying overseas, just watched two of your videos for prep before my exam 2 hours ago and I got an 8.5 overall! Was not expecting it at all!
Excellent! Congratulations!
I was struck in 7.5 in writing but after seeing your videos, I have learned a lot.
I really enjoyed this video! In fact, i didn't even skipped a second. Thank you so much! very insightful and easy to understand :D
I got my academic Ielts result today and I'm so happy I passed with the required band score. Thanks so much Chris for the lessons.
Congratulations 🎉
Well done! If you ever need our help in the future, you know where to contact us.
Thank you so much. With your videos, I have finally accomplished 7.5 overall in the IELTS. You and your team are absolutely amazing!
Fantastic! Congratulations!
can you tell me how did you study please? and how long it took you to get to band 7.5. I’m having my exam in less than two weeks so i would appreciate any tips
@@asdafalahmadi2111
Writing task 2: Learn the structure in this channel and follow it all the time.
Writing task 1: Learn how to choose key features.
Speaking: Choose some topics and spend 4 hours/week speaking with somebody (talking to yourself is also ok). Don't forget to think in English whenever you can.
Listening: Listen to podcasts on a daily basis.
Reading: Practice the exams from Cambridge's and BC's publishers.
Break a leg!
Still waiting for the full analysis of listening sections video like the wonderful writing section.
😇It was really a milestone for me .
Watched your videos to prepare for my IELTS exam which I had me sweating and worried, but at the end it all paid off and I got 8 bands! Thankyou Chris and IELTS Advantage!
Great job!
Hi, I prepped for IELTS only the day before my official exam and this was my first time sitting for it. Naturally, I was freaking out and your videos were the only study materials I used. I received my results today and I scored an 8! Thank you so much for everything, and keep going!
Great job! Congratulations!
The only Teacher that I trusted the most ❤
Me too
Your way of teaching is so impressive and helpful.So thanks for helping the students ❤
Thanks Chris! You're a blessing.
I am about to start practising writing for IELTS and watching this video has changed my perspective pretty much. Thank you so much for producing this highly beneficial content. The first time I took the exam, I hadn't studied at all and just wanted to test my existing skills and got 6.5 in writing, and 7 overall. I believe I can elevate it to an overall 8+ with your guidance this time. I have nearly 25 days to go on. Let's see!
You're most welcome! If there's anything else our team can do to help you, please feel free to contact us.
Hey Chris 👋. I just wanna thank u for your brilliant tips for ielts. Just got the point that I've been looking for 🙏
Happy to help!
Thank you very much for your indispensable tips on this topic and it’s the reality that no one shares free
My dude, thank you for your videos. These are very helpful
I like your technique of explaining mistakes and solutions, it was really helpful and can make one feel less stressed before IELTS test.
Thank you very much for this content.
Glad it was helpful! If there's anything else our team can do to help you, please feel free to contact us.
Very helpful videos sir and thanks for free essay builder ❤
thank you very much for giving me those key points. Now I am feeling confident that that I can score a band 8
I've been speaking english for almost 30 years now and these tests always get me! Never been able to get more than a band 7-7.5
Thank you for all the amazing content!
And love how some words bring out that bit of your ...Irish? accent hehe
U won't believe it, today , all day long I was suffering to get an idea , how to write discussion essay, but ur video has made it easy for me.... Thnkuu Chris... God bless u🙏
You are most welcome! If you have any questions or need our team to help you prepare for your exam, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you so much Chris! You're right about the Asian teaching thing. For years, we’ve been taught to balance both sides and give at least 2 ideas in each paragraph (firstly, secondly). I did go through a lot of confusion because I didn't know which way is the most correct. So I just want some justification here, please help me:
1. Can I apply the method "1 idea each paragraph" in all types of writing tasks 2?
2. Can I give an example before the explanation (explain the example)? This is kinda helpful cause I struggle with abstract explanations.
Thank you!
This video is very clear and straight to the point.
Kudos to you Brother may you grow wings and fly around at your own peril for being here for us :D
Thank you so much .What I realized from your essay is that we don't need to use the most highest vocabularies to empress the examiner and only need to spread our idea and give main reason what the question ask.
I totally agree with you but 'the most highest' is grammatically incorrect; the word 'high' is considered to be a short word so the superlative form of it will be : *the highest*....we only use the most with 'long words' such as interesting,impressive etc....
Thank you sooo much Chris! I just got my results and I’ve secured a band of 7.5 😭🙌🏼 Words can’t explain how grateful I am for the work you’re doing! I followed your tips and evaluated myself for two days before my test and it made a HUGE difference!
Great job!
All i can say is you are incredible. Thank you so much🙏🏾
your videos are so engaging I was actually able to pay attention
After 3 attempts, I still remain a radical band 6-ielts-test taker, I see why. After watching most of your videos, I have confidence to go to the test center this 22nd, knowing that I have a possibility to improve at least to band 7💪
Glad it helped! If you have any questions or need our team to help you prepare for your exam, please feel free to contact us.

Please make a video of the same concept for other essay types like advantages outweigh disadvantages, to what extent you agree and other.

What I found to be fascinating about your band 8.0 essay is the fulfilment of TR:
- Owe a debt to the country (briliant "paraphasing" of "sticking to their motherland"; I think lots of candidates lack this)
- Receive considerable funding from gov
- (although there is) a tremendous amount of investment
I didn't think it was possible to write in the way you deliver the idea through 3 unique sentences, with almost no overlap in vocabs. I am aware that once you become proficient, you can pull this off when actively focusing on addressing the question instead of nervous about fancy structures, but I believe this was an amazing feat of your piece nonetheless.
Is there any advice you would like to give students on how to achieve this? Practicing and gaining knowledge on various topics?
Hi there, you should check this article on our website titled 'IELTS Essay Topics - Writing Task 2 - IELTS Advantage'. I'm sure you'll find it helpful. If you have any further questions or need our team to help you prepare for your exam, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you so much for explaning in that way.
This vid really helps me preparing for the writing test. Thanks teach 🙏🙏
My strategy may sound dumb, but to help myself analysing essays I just think that I am an IELTS examiner, e.g. Chris, and I imagine to be super strict and demanding towards criteria points that are listed in band descriptors. It eventually helps me to notice the mistakes I made without even looking into descriptors.
Hopefully, I can reach the highest score possible :D
Very smart.
Can you please do a video on the advantages outweigh the disadvantages essay. How should we paragraph these types since we have to write two or three advantages/disadvantages.
Hi there, thank you for your suggestion. I will look into it. Please refer to this article on our website 'IELTS Advantage - IELTS Advantages and Disadvantages Essay Lesson'.

thank you so much sir, this really helped me a lot.
I don't teach writing (just speaking) as I haven't had any formal training, and would feel like I'm doing people a disservice by advising them on how to do these tasks. However, your videos are invaluable; so I can at least help them avoid the bad advice and viral videos out there, and help them choose a good teacher. Thanks
The guy watching his essay in this video: 😭
I got my IELTS results today. I scored L-9, R-8.5, W-7.5, S-7, and an overall 8 band score!!
Pls help me,from where u do the things.
@@punjabimunde552 I gathered tips from trustworthy sources and put them into paper .. giving more mocktests actually helped me a lot!
That's good, how long did you prepare for the test?
How and where to to practice listening from?
@@Mimi-jk9jc one and half months I guess
I started watching your videos as I was desperate to get a decent score on my ielts exam 2 days prior.
I referred to all your tips and tricks on speaking,listening, and reading.
I read through all your articles and your videos.
I got my results today and I got a an overall 7.5 with 9 in listening, 7.5 in speaking, 7.5 in reading and 6.5 in writing from just 2 days of listening to youu.
Although I don't recommend studying at the last minute ,I cannot believe that I managed to get a good score.
Thank you so much and please keep doing what you do ,you're amazing.
I am going to be referring your channel to all my friends who are yet to write the test.
Fantastic! Congratulations!
Thanks for this video. I really enjoyed it. It completly changed my toughts about essay writing
