Helping professionals & students achieve band 7+ in their IELTS test by improving writing & speaking 👩‍🏫

Former IELTS speaking & writing examiners

Online coaching & classes focusing on your weak areas to 🚀 your score

12/08/2026

If you need to score 7.0+ in IELTS writing task 2, you need to understand that there is more than one structure you can use.

We see many IELTS tutors on Instagram and Facebook telling their followers that they HAVE to use a four paragraph essay structure:

👉Introduction
👉Body paragraph 1
👉Body paragraph 2
👉Conclusion

This is ok if you need band 5.5-6.5.

However, one way to reach a higher score is to understand that there are different essay structures you can use.

For example, for an essay that asks
"To what extent do you agree or disagree?"

You could write
✍️Body paragraph 1 - reasons for
✍️Body paragraph 2 - reasons against

However, you could also write
✍️Body paragraph 1 - reason 1 why I agree
✍️Body paragraph 2 - reason 2 why I agree

OR

✍️Body paragraph 1 - reason why some people disagree
✍️Body paragraph 2 - reason 1 why I agree
✍️Body paragraph 3 - reason 2 why I agree

The 2nd and 3rd versions make your position stronger. Version 3 gives you more opportunity to use different vocabulary and grammar.

There is also a 4th version, if you want to partially agree.

There are many ways to write IELTS essays.

To get a high score, you need to:
✅Understand the most appropriate structure for each essay type
✅Practice alternative structures and see which you prefer.
✅Write and get proper feedback

Be honest with your answers in your IELTS speaking test

Your examiner is not assessing how 'academic' or 'smart' you are.

They are assessing your English level.

✅If you play computer games in your free time, you can say that.

Show the IELTS speaking examiner what vocabulary you have learned from playing Fortnite, or Minecraft, or League of Legends.

✅If you hate reading books because they make you fall asleep, you can say that.

✅If you never do any exercise because you are far too busy, you can say that.

It is fine to be honest. It shows you are a real person!

Do you like playing computer games?

Amazing IELTS results from our student, Hung Thai Nguyen

He found choosing and developing main points for task 2 essays difficult, so we spent time together analysing question types and making plans.

After he wrote the essays, we went through them together, discussing how they could be improved.

His IELTS writing task 2 scored 8.0 overall, with an 8.0 in each criterion!

If you are struggling to reach a high band in IELTS writing, and you would like 1-1 focus on your weak areas to help you improve, send us a DM.

My IELTS student messaged me in a panic.

"I've seen some of the IELTS Part 3 speaking questions in a 'question bank'" she said.

"I don't know the answers to many of them! I can't do this test! I'm going to fail". 😟

What I told her changed the way she looked at IELTS 'question banks'.

If you aren't aware, many websites show/sell past and current IELTS speaking questions.

IELTS students use them to practice and prepare before their tests.

However, it is important to know what these question banks are, and are not.

✅They are lists of questions past IELTS candidates could remember after their test.

👉IELTS candidates are not all asked the same questions in the speaking test.

👉Even if they have the same topic, the questions are likely to be different.

✅The IELTS speaking examiner chooses questions that are suitable for the level of the candidate.

✅So if your level is B1/B2, you will be asked certain questions.
And if your level is C1/C2, these questions are likely to be different.

✅The IELTS speaking examiner also asks follow-up questions, based on what you say.

These will be different for each candidate, because you do not all give the same answers.

My student needed to get 6.5 for her university application. She was looking at questions from IELTS candidates who needed 7.5-8.0.

When I taught her IELTS Speaking Part 3, I was using questions that were suitable for her level.

While it is fine to practice IELTS speaking on your own, don't let questions you find online scare you. They may not be the questions for you.

If you want to prepare for IELTS speaking with people who understand how the test works, so you prepare for the type of questions you will be asked, then send us a DM and let's talk about how we can help you.

Many IELTS candidates take the speaking test and get upset or angry when the IELTS speaking examiner interrupts them. 😡

They complain that the examiner was being rude 😡

They expect the examiner to sit and listen until they finish all their answers

This is not how the IELTS speaking test works

Your speaking examiner is pushing you in part 3, to give better answers

👉If your answers are vague and need better explanation, they will ask 'why?'.

👉They will ask you follow up questions to get you to justify your thoughts and opinions

👉To do this, they may interrupt you when you are speaking

If the examiner interrupts you in your IELTS speaking exam, don't get angry or worried

It is just part of the test.

Tell us, did the IELTS speaking examiner interrupts you during your test?

Happy birthday to Kris!

Some would say the 'better' half of IELTS Kite.

Thanks for all you do to help our students get their IELTS scores.

Here's to many more.

Increase your vocabulary range (lexical Resource) in IELTS academic task one graph descriptions by using more precise words.

In my previous three videos (you can see them on our profile - scroll until you see me wearing the same blue fleece) I told you how to use different words, different word forms and collocations to increase your language for describing trends.

My fourth tip is to use precise words

If it increased from 100 to 200, or 10 to 20, we can say it 'doubled'

If it decreased by 50%, we can say it 'halved'

When you write IELTS task 1:

👉use difference words to 'increase' and 'decrease'
👉use noun forms and verb forms
👉use collocations
👉use precise words

See your IELTS writing improve!

What would you like us to make us a series of videos about next?
