IELTS Writing Feedback - Why You're Not Getting Band 7
Channel: Fiona Wattam
Date: 2023-03-22

My humble brag is that I can tell you why you're not getting Band 7 within 2 minutes of reading your IELTS essay/report/email.

I've made hundreds of these videos, and I wanted to share one with you so that you can see an examiner's thought processes.

Abdul was getting Band 8 in all of the other skills, but he was stuck at 6.5 for Writing. He wasn't sure if my Writing Course would be able to help him, so I took a very quick look at his Task 1 and Task 2 and could immediately diagnose the problems.

00:20 Task 1 issues
00:40 Linking word issues with 'whereas'
01:20 Collocation issues
01:46 Linkng word issue with 'ing' 
02:23 Model Task 1 answer
02:43 Task 2 issues - having a clear stance in the introduction
03:54 Extending and developing your points (PEEL paragraphs)
05:00 Not only but also (issue with complex structures)
05:29 Emotional language
06:03 Linking word issue with 'which'
06:26 One, they, we or people in general?
07:10 Informal language
07:53 Conclusion

My IELTS Writing courses have about 100 lessons that address specific problem areas. So when I give you feedback, I can point you to those lessons and you'll save a lot of time, energy and money.

Can I diagnose your writing problem in 2 minutes? Send me your Task 2, and I will get back to you with a quick tip.
