#tips Since many of you have been actively following and making use of the content on this channel, I’ve decided to share a few “must-know” tips from my personal experience. DISCLAIMER: The points below may not completely align with your current preparation style. That does NOT mean you should suddenly abandon everything you’ve been doing. Instead, take what is useful, make adjustments where necessary, and leave what doesn’t work for you. Anyway, I hope there’s at least a scratch you can learn from. Enjoy. TIP 1 — “TERMINATOR” STYLE OF WRITING Many candidates focus so heavily on describing every single detail of a chart that their reports become completely mechanical — just figures, comparisons, and percentages from beginning to end. In other words: There is no life in the report. “Who the hell cares about joy and life in my IELTS report?” Well… the examiner does care about how effectively and naturally you communicate information. Imagine reading hundreds of reports where every candidate starts with: “Overall, it is clear that…” …and then follows the same predictable structures, vocabulary and sentence patterns. Your Task 1 doesn’t need to be poetic. This is IELTS, not Pride and Prejudice. But it should have a natural academic flow, accurate comparisons, smart grouping of information, and enough linguistic flexibility to avoid sounding like a machine describing numbers. Don’t turn your Task 1 into: “In 1990, X was 25%. In 1991, X increased to 27%. In 1992, X increased again…” That’s not analysis. That’s a calculator having a bad day. TIP 2 — STOP BEING TERRIFIED OF EXTRA BODY PARAGRAPHS I’ve analysed a huge number of IELTS essays, including essays produced by different instructors, and I’ve come across one piece of advice that has always bothered me: “You MUST write only two body paragraphs.” Wait… why? What if I have three genuinely relevant ideas? What if I want to present a counterargument? What if splitting my ideas into three paragraphs makes my argument significantly clearer? That’s not how academic writing works. There is no IELTS rule saying that Task 2 must contain exactly two body paragraphs. Two body paragraphs can work brilliantly. Three can work brilliantly too. Even four can work if the essay is well organised and you can manage the time. The key is not the number of paragraphs. The key is relevance, development, coherence and control. You don’t need to pile five different ideas into one enormous paragraph just because someone told you: “Two bodies. That’s it.” If you have a strong counterargument, develop it. If your position requires another paragraph to make the logic clearer, use it. If three body paragraphs allow you to develop your argument more effectively, there is absolutely nothing inherently wrong with that. BUT — and this is important — more paragraphs do NOT automatically mean a higher score. Three weak paragraphs are still weak. One beautifully developed argument can be much stronger than four shallow ones. So don’t chase the number. Chase the quality of your thinking. And please stop being afraid of counterarguments. “Ooooh, what if my counterargument becomes stronger than my own position?” Then congratulations. You’ve just discovered that you’re actually thinking. If you genuinely want to achieve a high score in Writing Task 2, eventually you have to stop treating IELTS as a collection of patterns and start treating it as academic communication. Think beyond the templates. Question the “rules”. Build your own style. Because long after your IELTS saga is over, you probably won’t remember the exact template you memorised. But the ability to think, structure and communicate ideas effectively? That stays with you. Think beyond the limits. Take care. 🖤

The line graph compares the percentages of workers in five European countries who were absent from work for six days or more due to illness between 1991 and 2001. Overall, the Netherlands consistently recorded the highest proportion of workers with prolonged illness-related absences, while Germany had the lowest figures throughout the period. France experienced a substantial decline, whereas Sweden showed the opposite trend after 1996. The UK remained relatively stable. In 1991, the Netherlands and France both stood at 5%, considerably higher than Sweden and the UK, at 3% and 2.3% respectively. Germany had the lowest figure, at approximately 1.8%. The proportion in the Netherlands then rose to a peak of about 5.6% in 1992 before gradually falling to 4.3% in 1996. It subsequently recovered, reaching approximately 5.5% by 2001. France, in contrast, experienced a steady and marked decline throughout most of the period. Its figure fell from 5% in 1991 to around 3.2% in 1996, after which it remained almost unchanged at approximately 3%. Sweden followed a different pattern: its proportion increased slightly from 3% to 3.2% between 1991 and 1992, before declining marginally until 1995. From 1996 onwards, however, it rose steadily, reaching about 4.6% in 2001. The UK showed little variation, fluctuating between roughly 2.3% and 2.4%, while Germany remained below 2% for most of the period and finished at around 1.6%.

The table illustrates how frequently adults in a European country used the internet between 2006 and 2010. Overall, internet use became considerably more frequent over the period. The proportion of adults accessing the internet daily doubled, while the percentage who never used it fell dramatically. By contrast, weekly and three-times-a-month usage followed less consistent patterns. In 2006, daily internet use accounted for 36% of adults, compared with 34% who did not use the internet at all. The figure for weekly use was 15%, which was identical to the proportion using the internet three times a month. Over the following two years, daily usage increased steadily, reaching 45% in 2008. Weekly use also rose substantially to 29%, whereas the proportion using the internet three times a month declined to 10%. Meanwhile, the percentage of non-users more than halved, falling from 34% to 16%. The most striking change occurred between 2008 and 2009, when daily usage surged by 20 percentage points to 65%. It then climbed further to 72% in 2010. In contrast, weekly use declined from its peak of 29% to 22%, while three-times-a-month usage fell to just 5%. By the end of the period, only 1% of adults reported never using the internet.

The pie chart shows the percentage of people living in Australia who are from various countries, while the accompanying table shows where these people live: urban and rural areas. Overall, Australians form the majority of the population, followed distantly by the category labelled as “other”. In contrast, the percentage of people from other nations, especially the Netherlands, lag significantly behind. It is also clear from the table that the overwhelming share of people from all countries prefer to live in urban areas, with Chinese people recording the strongest preference. Focusing on population distribution, Australians surpass others by a substantial margin, accounting for 73%. Next come those from unspecified countries, who make up 14%, which is twice the figure for the UK. The percentages of people from other countries – New Zealand, China, and the Netherlands – are considerably lower, with their respective figures amounting to only 3%, 2%, and 1%. As for place preference, 99% of Chinese people opt for urban areas, compared to the remaining 1% who live in rural areas. Nine out of ten people originally from the Netherlands choose to live in cities, while 10% of them opt for the countryside. The same is true for those from the UK (89% versus 11%). The shares of individuals living in cities who are from New Zealand and Australia are somewhat similar, at slightly above 80%. The candidate who recreated this got 9999 in Task 1.
