Your questions answered:

❓ Should I use personal pronouns in my essay? 
📚 You should try to avoid using these, but it is fine to use them when giving your personal opinion.

❓Will using lots of idioms and phrasal verbs boost my score?
📚 No! You should not use idioms in Writing Task 2. 

❓ Is it possible for me to score a Band 8? 
📚 Yes! However, the average IELTS score is 5.5, so you need to work EXTRA hard to get a Band 8. 

❓ How many paragraphs should I write? 

📚 Four. Most IELTS Writing Task 2 essays follow the same basic four paragraph structure:

Introduction - Main Body Paragraph 1 - Main Body Paragraph 2 - Conclusion

❓ Will I lose marks if I don’t write enough words? 

📚 Yes. If you don’t write at least 250 words, you will lose marks in ‘Task Achievement’ for not answering the question fully:(
