IELTS Writing practice on IELTS Mates

IELTS Writing চারটি জিনিসে সমান নম্বরে বিচার করা হয়: Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, আর Grammatical Range and Accuracy। Task 2-এর ওজন Task 1-এর দ্বিগুণ। বেশিরভাগ প্রার্থী ৬.৫-এ আটকে যায় Task Response-এ — প্রশ্নের উত্তর না দিয়ে বিষয় নিয়ে লেখার কারণে।

IELTS Writing is marked on four equally weighted criteria: Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy. Task 2 counts twice as much as Task 1. Most candidates plateau at 6.5 on Task Response — writing about the topic instead of answering the question asked.

Band by band: what actually changes

Each step below is the specific thing standing between one band and the next. They are cumulative — the band 7 work does not help while the band 6 problem is still there.

56

the word count and a position

Reach the count and take a side

শব্দসংখ্যা পূরণ করুন, একটি অবস্থান নিন

Under 250 words in Task 2 or 150 in Task 1 is penalised before anything else is assessed. After that, the single biggest lift is stating a clear position in the introduction and not moving from it.

  • Learn what 250 of your words looks like — count it once, then trust it
  • State your position in the introduction, not the conclusion
  • Task 1 must have an overview sentence; without one you cannot pass 5 on Task Achievement
66.5

paragraphing and development

One idea per paragraph, actually developed

এক প্যারাগ্রাফে একটি ধারণা, বিস্তারিত

Band 6 writing lists reasons. Band 7 writing develops two of them. Claim, explain why it follows, give a concrete example, say what it means for the question. Five undeveloped points score below two developed ones.

  • Two body paragraphs, one idea each
  • Follow every claim with 'because' and then an example
  • Do not introduce a new idea in the conclusion
6.57

Task Response depth

Answer the question that was asked

যে প্রশ্ন করা হয়েছে, সেটির উত্তর দিন

'To what extent do you agree' asks for a degree. 'Discuss both views and give your opinion' needs all three parts, and the missing opinion is the most common single reason a good essay caps at 6.5.

  • Underline every task in the prompt and tick each off at the end
  • Replace formulaic linkers — Firstly, Moreover, In conclusion — with real connections
  • Use precise collocations rather than long words used loosely

accuracy under range

Range without losing control

বৈচিত্র্য, কিন্তু নিয়ন্ত্রণ হারিয়ে নয়

Band 8 needs the majority of your sentences to be error-free while still showing a wide range of structures. Reaching for complexity you cannot control costs more than writing well within your range.

  • Vary sentence openings, not just sentence length
  • Learn collocations as pairs: 'pose a risk', 'a marked increase'
  • Leave three minutes to check articles, plurals and verb tense
