How to improve your writing score?
It is common knowledge that writing is a struggle for most candidates. How can you improve your writing?
To write a decent essay, you should be acutely aware of the writing marking criteria, and understand what is required to get a 7+ in writing. Some so-called teachers tell their students that it is possible to get a high score in writing without learning grammar. Really?! Duh, this is nonsense; you should be able to use complex and compound sentences accurately to get a 7+ in grammar, so try to improve your grammar.
Vocabulary
I personally believe that vocabulary is the key to succeed in learning any lingo. As far as lexical resource in writing is concerned, read articles, which are common in IELTS, and pick up ideas, and topic-related vocabulary. I myself, for the most part, learn chunks and collocations, which make my language natural. I recommend using this approach.
How to write an essay?
Before writing an essay, do brainstorming for 8/10 minutes. Try to connect your ideas logically, and make sure that each sentence serves a function. Don't repeat the same idea over and over again, which is a common problem among IELTS candidates. So, setting aside a couple of minutes to think of ideas can do the trick.
Analyze essays
Most people read Simon's model answers, which ,according to him, deserve a 9, but this don't hold good for most of his essays. However, granted, his essays are worth analyzing. While analyzing an essay, place a particular focus on how a writer is connecting ideas, how his paragraph is being developed, and what vocabulary / grammar they are using to express themselves. You should do so after writing your own essay, and check why the model answer is better than yours. Learn topic-specific words the writer is using.
