WRITING TASK 2 - BEFORE YOU START
Forget about
imitation and
stereo-type writing.
Of course you start
with imitating but you
can’t copy!
9
WRITING TASK 2 - BEFORE YOU START
You need an
original creative
piece of writing.
So, think and
produce! based on
what you’ve studied.
10
WRITING TASK 2 - BEFORE YOU START
Non-creative writing is also
known as plagiarism 101.
IELTS is trying to teach you
that!
Anyway, living in a country
with international standards
needs you know about
plagiarism.
Copying the rubrics, you
lose some score for sure.
11
ESSAY STRUCTURE
Generally, an IELTS essay has THREE parts:
The introduction
The body
The conclusion
The introduction is where the writer states what is going to happen in the essay. (40-55)
The body is where there is elaboration on the information relevant to the topic. It can vary from two to three paragraphs. (175-200)
The conclusion ultimately is nothing but a summary of the most important: what the essay was about in brief and an outcome! (35-45)
Altogether, it contains 4 to 5 paragraphs including almost 250 to 300 words.
12
ESSAY STRUCTURE
Do NOT write a lot!• Wasting time on writing more
content that you don’t get extra
marks for is not wise.
• Your time is limited!
• Also, the more content you write, the
more room for mistakes you create!
No less than 250 250-300
No more than 300
