I mplement the following 7 Cs into your two (2) IELTS Academic Writing tasks. These principles of writing are also applicable to any documents, but crucial on the IELTS to demonstrate your writing power to the test examiners.

1. Clear. Convey a definite message, with no confusion about what each sentence is trying to communicate. One idea = One paragraph.
2. Concise. Write just the proper amount of words to express your meaning. At least 150 words on Task 1. 300-350 words for Task 2.
3. Concrete. Use rich vocabulary to produce a vivid and specific narrative rather than using vague, obscure and general words. Building a strong vocabulary is one of the best steps you can take for a high IELTS score.
4. Cohesive and Coherent. Communicate logically so all points are connected and relevant to the main topic. See more below.
5. Correct. Incorporate precise grammar and punctuation and proofread after finishing your paper.
6. Complete. Answer the question by addressing all relevant parts with reasons and examples! See Know the Criteria below.
7. Convincing. Your overall argument is sound and persuasive so the IELTS reader gives you possibly a high score! Make your case based on the information given in both Task 1 and Task 2.

D o you know how IELTS markers (graders) score your two writing tasks?

Academic Writing Task I requires you to interpret a graph, line chart, or diagram.

Academic Writing Task II requires you to write an essay.

The IELTS Writing Criteria is comprised of four sections: 1) Task Achievement, 2) Coherence and Cohesion, 3) Lexical Resource, and 4) Grammatical Range and Accuracy. The four criteria are equally weighted.

An examination of each of these four criteria follows.

Use these pointers in all of your writing!

F irst and foremost, the graders check to see if you answer the question (Task Achievement) adequately. You must respond to everything that is asked in the question.

If your response does not show a fundamental understanding of the problem, it may reveal your inability to read and interpret the problem (poor English skills).

Graders also want you to communicate the main points about the diagram, graph, or chart.

You must also have a clear position throughout your response to obtain an IELTS band 7 score for both Tasks 1 and 2.

Again, think about the 7 Cs of IELTS Writing above. Clarity is your #1 objective!

For example, look at this question from Writing Task 1:

These graphs give information about computer ownership as a percentage of the population between 2002 and 2010, and by level of education for the years 2002 and 2010.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
