The tasks in the IELTS Writing module
are different depending on whether you are doing the Academic or General Training format.
However, most of these IELTS tips by Shiksha IELTS Coaching in Ahmedabad are
relevant to both. Time is the big enemy in the IELTS Writing test. You need to
be able to manage your time very well if you are to complete both tasks to
the best of your ability.
Task 1 accounts for one third of the marks and Task 2 the remaining two
thirds. You
should therefore spend 20 minutes on task 1 and 40 minutes on task 2.
Points to
remember:
§
Read the instructions carefully - If you do not fulfill the requirements of the task you will be penalised. Allow yourself
some time to plan your ans wer. You need a well planned, coherent answer to
get good scores.
§
Be focussed - If you do not respond to the topic,
you will lose marks. If you don't answer the task that is set, or include
information that is irrelevant, you will lose marks. Don't change the topic to something you are more familiar with (or have memorised).
§
Fulfill the requirements -
You are required to write a minimum number of words - 150 for task 1 and
250 for task 2. If you write less than the minimum number you will be
penalised. If you write more you will not be penalised but writing more may
mean you don't have time to complete the other task. Ideally you should try to write the required number of words for both the tasks.
§
Ask for supplements - If you find
you don't have enough room on the answer paper to complete your task, ask the
invigilator for a supplement. There is no requirement to fit your entire script
on the answer paper supplied, though this is usually sufficient. You will not
be given any rough paper so use the question sheet for notes and planning.
Anything you write on the question paper will not be used for assessment.
§
Do not try to memorise a 'model'
answer
- It is unlikely
that you will have a task on the same topic and scripts that are memorised or
plagiarised are easily detected by the examiner and will be penalised.

§
Write clearly - Although you won't be penalised for untidy writing, if the
examiner can't read your script it will be marked down. Poor spelling, however, will be penalised.
§
Essentials - When writing your script remember
that it will be marked by an examiner who is looking to see if you have fulfilled the requirements of
the task, that your writing is coherent, that you have
used the appropriate vocabulary and
have a good range of sentence structures. The examiner will be looking to
see how accurately you have
managed these things.
§
Proof reading - If you finish both tasks before your
time is up, do not waste the extra time. Use
this time to check what you have written. Check carefully for spelling, punctuation and
grammatical errors. Inaccuracy in these areas will lose you marks so
time spent proofreading is time well spent.
