If you’re a
student of Medcity International Academy,
the best IELTS training centre in Kerala,
you know how important it is to minimize the errors you’re bound to make in
your IELTS Writing Tasks to maximize your effort to score a Band 8. In
IELTS, Essay Writing can definitely be your game-changer! Confused? Let us take a look at how writing score is calculated;
Overall writing score = (T2
+ T2 + T1) ÷ 3
T2 being your Task 2 score
and T1 being your Task 1 score.
If you score a 7.5 in Task 2 and
6 in Task 1, your overall would be;
(7.5+7.5+6) ÷ 3 = 7 (out of 9)
Instead, if it is vice versa;
6+6+7.5) ÷ 3 = 6.5
This clearly justifies how important the Task 2
score is. Now the next question that’s usually on the minds of Medcity students,
is – how do we improve the ‘T2 score’? Here are two crucial ways;
1) Work on vocabulary (Lexical Resource)
Replacing colloquial words with formal ones can
boost your score.
Let’s take some examples;
a. Deforestation results in many bad
effects.
Deforestation
results in many dangerous effects.
b. It is highly beneficial for kids to
participate in competitions.
It
is highly beneficial for children to participate in competitions.
c. It would be good if parents monitor the
time spent by children on video games.
It would be advantageous if parents
monitor the time spent by children on video games.
2) Focus on
sentence structures, especially COMPLEX SENTENCES.
Complex sentences are actually considered by
many to be something complicated. But in reality, it’s very simple to create a
complex sentence. Learning a few words like conjunctions and relative
pronouns can actually make you a pro in framing complex sentence structures. In
Medcity’s ten years of providing top training
for IELTS within Kerala as well as on
an international level, this has always been the case. So, let’s explore some
of the possibilities.
Subordinating Conjunctions | Relative pronouns |
after, | Which/that/whose/whoever/ whomever/who/ whom….. |
Examples:
·
Essay topic: Importance of
space research
↓
Space exploration has resulted in developing an
advanced weather forecasting system which facilitates the prediction of
natural disasters such as cyclones, earthquake or coastal flooding.
·
Topic: which is to be prioritized? Human needs
/ animal needs.
↓
In spite of the fact that there
are certain human concerns that need to be addressed immediately, the
significance of considering animal needs cannot be overlooked.
·
Topic: do women need to join armed forces?
↓
Increase in the number of female applicants in the defense sector would ensure a better helping hand for suppressed women because they would understand female concerns to a greater extent.

IELTS is statistically the most difficult to score higher in, but with the
