How can we write ielts essays without learning it?
There is a plan for writing an ielts essay which should be followed if the candidate wants to get the required band score.
To plan the essay you have to understand the process and follow it. Below are the three simple steps which have to be followed in sequence.
- Read and understand the topic.
- Brainstorm.
- Write and Check.
These steps are known to most of the students. However, they are greatly ignored by most of them. I am here to tell you that if you belong to that class who ignores these vital steps, you have to pay the price in terms of your band.
It is not just advisable but extremely important to follow a pattern to get higher band score.
First step: Read and understand.
Read the topic very carefully and try to grasp what it wants to say.
It is simple yet elusive step. Some of you may think,
“Are you considering us nursery going students?”
“We would definitely understand even if you do not give us your wise advice.”
“How can one start writing any essay without any understanding?”
“What’s point in giving this advice?”
But let me assure you. Even the most experience person takes this step for granted and lose the band. This step is vital. Because sometime it happens that due to some previous concept in mind students think that this essay is exactly the same as I have read in certain material. But in reality there is no chance it could happen in ielts exam. The idea which you have in your mind can cause detrimental effect on your band score.
So try to read the essay topic very carefully and make certain you have understood it well.
Second: Brainstorm
The most important of all. In simple sense, “To brainstorm” means “to think”. It is very essential when you are writing professional essays like ielts. You should at least spend 5 minutes of your time for brainstorming. We will learn brainstorming in a separate article later on.
For the time being, you just have to remember that you must think as mush points as you can for writing essay and make notes of them.
Third: write and check
Writing the essay is an obvious part. However, you should pay special attention to checking. You have to spare sometime for checking your essay.
You can apply checking at three different levels.
- Check your sentence when you finish it.
- Recheck every sentence when you finish writing each paragraph.
- Spare at least 3 to 5 minutes to recheck every sentence of your essay when you finish the whole essay.
If you follow above mentioned simple steps. You will definitely increase your band score.
