Welcome to my IELTS Writing Blog!

I scored an overall 8.5 band score in the IELTS Academic exam. The IELTS exam consists of four modules. The Writing module is divided into Task 1 (3 bands) and Task 2 (6 bands). My scores were:

• ✎ Listening - 9
• ✎ Reading - 8.5
• ✎ Writing - 8
• ✎ Speaking - 8

I also graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Canada, where I have been residing for over a decade.

In my Writing Blog, I will be explaining how to attempt the question, what key points can be included in the main body, and most importantly, how to write its introduction! I will also be posting solutions to various graphs and essays from Task 1 and Task 2, respectively.

For the Academic students, Task 1 is a graph and Task 2 is an essay.
However, for the General Training students, Task 1 is a letter while Task 2 is an essay.

You would be getting 60 minutes for the writing module. In these 60 minutes, the ideal time to attempt Task 1 is around 18 minutes, and for Task 2, it is 35 minutes (a total of 53 minutes). You should use the remaining 7 minutes for proofreading and corrections.

All the best!
