For Perfect 9 Band Preparation, When Writing an Essay, Follow These Guidelines.

IELTS Writing task 2 is known as essay writing.
Its word limits are for 250-280 words.
Structure of writing is divided into 3 parts i.e.
Introduction (Opening Paragraph)
Body Paragraphs ( 1 and 2)
Conclusion( Closing Paragraph)

• So the maximum paragraphs that you can write in Task 2 are 4-5 paragraphs.
• When we write introduction of task 2, we can write either by paraphrasing of statement or some hook lines regarding the theme.
• In Body paragraphs we must organize the contents before and then write so that there is no scope of mistake.
• In conclusion, we need to take that no additional points or examples are included, it is not accepted.
• It is better not to use words such as “I, We and You”. The word ‘I’ can be used sparingly, if the question is ‘Do you agree or not’ or ‘To what extend do you agree’?
• ‘As we all know’ is not formal. It is better to write ‘As it is well known that…’
• 'We can understand that’ is informal. Use formal words ‘ It can be learnt that …’
• Avoid contractions such as won’t, isn’t, can’t, don’t, it’s. Write full words.
• Avoid using abbreviated words. Instead of net photo and TV, use full versions like Internet, Photograph and television etc.
• Avoid using colloquial words/expressions (kids, guy, awesome are to be replaced with children, man, wonderful, etc.)
• ‘It is generally known to all’ instead of ‘everybody known that…’).
• ‘Let us hope that’ is informal. Write ‘It can be hoped that…’
• ‘You will agree that’ should be changed to ‘It is generally agreed that…’
• ‘Let’s agree that’ should be changed to ‘It can be agreed that…’
