Hey! I'm happy to be back again, this time with last video in the set of "Top 13
-
Tips" about different modules of IELTS; and today we will be talking about the Writing
-
module. But before we dive in, I'd like to introduce you to my new Twitter account,
-
which I will be frequently using for various announcements and currently I am
-
working on a huge project, which will be free for you guys, and which will be in
-
real time, and obviously dedicated to IELTS.
-
But before announcing it, I'm waiting for more people to subscribe, because I want
-
to announce it efficiently, and because I want more people to know about it. So,
-
just go and check it out. And lastly, I have linked in the description box down
-
below, as always, all the books that I used. which are completely free for download,
-
and I guess, they will be useful for you in the preparation for the Writing section.
-
Okay, so the first tip is to analyze and actually take some time to think and to
-
take notes about what you will be writing. You know, the cost of rushing
-
forward and thinking that you must start writing straight away, when were given the
-
task, is too high. Because it is essential for you to stop and think, planning
-
beforehand, because, you know, it requires you to be a professional
-
journalist to compose your thoughts instantly and to know what you will be
-
writing in your essay. Let alone in English.
-
The second one is learn the structure of your essay beforehand and basically
-
disregarding of the type of module that you're dealing with whether it's
-
Academic or General, it doesn't matter. Because actually in the writing task
-
chances are the most likely you will be dealing with four paragraphs, which means
-
first - you introduce the topic, you give a brief overview, and then you divide your
-
ideas into four paragraphs, and then just end it with a nice conclusion. Remember,
-
the second task in writing is worth twice as much at the first task, and that
-
is why you should really put some effort in the second task. But you also need to
-
always start with Task 1, never skipping it, because the Task 1 is
-
actually easier, and it helps you to get on track, so that Task 2 comes more
-
smoothly. Then, manage your time. Practice speed writing, and actually try to spend
-
approximately 20 minutes on the first task and 40 minutes of the second task.
-
Pay attention to the number of words you're writing, because he will lose
-
marks if you write less than 150 words in Task 1, and 250 words in Task 2.
-
Also, don't try to count word by word what you wrote unless you have plenty of
-
time left, because it's more efficient to count the number of words in your line
-
and then to multiply it by the number of lines in your essay. But better, learn to
-
recognize how do you 150 words and 250 words look like on the answer sheet in
-
your handwriting, so that you won't need to count them. And I have linked down
-
below the actual answer sheet for writing so you can download it, print it
-
to have the best experience in your preparation. Okay, next one. Do not copy
-
anything from the task. I mean, of course, you can copy some words but never the
-
whole sentence. This will lower your score significantly. And instead always
-
paraphrase. However, do not try to paraphrase your ideas in the essay. I
-
mean there are students who try to introduce one idea. A single one. But
-
paraphrasing it differently into the two or even three paragraphs. Just do not
-
do it. If you are introducing an idea make it final and then go to the next
-
paragraph, talking about something else. In order to score high in writing you
-
will need to show your advanced skills of eloquent writing. And for this you must
-
learn as many synonims as possible, because it will make your essay
-
pleasant to read. And I will be preparing the next video about the vocabulary
-
for writing in IELTS and different synonyms. So please take some time to
-
actually learn synonyms because the more of them you use, the better score
-
you will achieve. Okay, Writing is the last module and probably you will be quite
-
exhausted by them, craving and break. But do not fall for this trap, because
-
minutes of postponing and delay can cost you valuable points. Instead, try to use
-
some time when an examiner hands in the booklets and tasks to take a break and
-
to meditate. Maybe, to clear your mind, to think about something that relaxes you,
-
and just try to forget everything connected to the previous actions. It
-
doesn't any longer matter anything. At any cost
-
avoid contractions such as "don't", "won't" "doesn't", "can't" and informal language.
-
Instead, use formal language, pay attention to your grammar, punctuation
-
and spelling. Because obviously if you're making mistakes you're losing points. And
-
vice versa, you will gain some points if you have sophisticated grammar
-
incorporated. And the last one, as always do not try to memorize any model answers,
-
because the examiners are actually trained to recognize them, and you will lose your
-
score. Also, you will lose marks if you write your ideas in bullet points, not
-
in full. Okay, guys, that's all. If you need to ask any question, you can directly
-
contact me by a different social media that I have linked down below in the
-
description. And as always, I will be delighted
-
to see you again here. Bye!
