I identified the specific keywords in the question. I understood the instructions. Idea Generation I assessed my ideas and decided they could be used to make a reasonable argument that fully addresses all parts of the question. Planning I used the structure provided to plan my essay before I started writing. I knew what I was going to write before I started writing. Introduction I paraphrased the question statement effectively. My sentence means the same as the question statement. My vocabulary is varied as much as possible. My grammar is accurate. My opinion is clear. Both of my main ideas are clearly outlined. Main Body Paragraphs My topic sentence matches the idea outlined in my introduction. My topic sentence clearly tells the reader what the paragraph is about (my main idea). My explanation clearly explains my reasoning. My example makes sense and provides evidence to support my argument. Conclusion My main ideas and opinion are clear and well summarised. Grammar and Vocabulary I have used grammar and vocabulary in a way that makes my writing clear, rather than trying to show off. I have varied my vocabulary as much as possible. I have used a range of complex and simple sentences. I have proofread every sentence more than once. I have fixed any linguistic errors. Coherence and Cohesion All of my cohesive devices are appropriate AND accurate. I have used paragraphing sufficiently and appropriately. If you can say ‘yes, to all of the above, you have improved dramatically. Well done! See below for a sample answer from someone who also said ‘yes’ to all of the above. VIP STUDENT SAMPLE ANSWER
not perfect because there is no such thing as a ‘perfect’ essay. One major problem many IELTS students have is looking at an essay and believing it is not ‘good’ because they spot a small number of minor errors. Instead of ‘nitpicking’, you should look at the whole essay and ask yourself if they did the major things properly (see above). This is what the examiner will be looking for, so you should do the same. This student went on to get a Band 8.0 in their IELTS Writing test, and this is an example of a ‘very good’ essay. Feel free to get in touch with us if you do not understand anything about this essay. We will be happy to help you resolve any misconceptions, and this new understanding will help you improve your own score. All children should be given a free laptop when they start high school. Do you agree or disagree? Some believe that every pupils entering secondary school should be gifted a laptop free of charge. I disagree with this because some children can afford to buy their own and the government cannot afford to do so. Those from wealthy families should not be given a complimentary computer. This would not be fair as this would result in money being taken away from poorer juveniles in order to give it to people who already have enough. If this proposed scheme was done on a means-tested basis, rich kids would not get anything and this capital could be diverted to those in more need. For example, in the United Kingdom, children whose parents are on state benefits receive subsidised school dinners but those with working parents do not. The state would also find it extremely difficult to finance such an initiative. The Education Department, like every other government department, has a limited budget, and if funds were spent on laptops, they would have to be diverted from other more worthy areas, such as staff. This would mean that class sizes would have to increase since budget would not be available for teachers, or even the classrooms themselves. For instance, most classes in developed countries have more than 30 in them because of the lack of budget for qualified teachers and teaching assistants. In conclusion, all freshmen starting high school should not be given a free laptop because this would not be fair on poorer students and there is not enough money for this project. Download 43.89 Kb.
