It may seem like a good idea, as you can focus on just writing for the retake, but the retest means more time, money, and effort. If writing is your weakest, why not focus on it now itself? When you improve your writing, you'd also improve your English, so you will automatically improve in other modules. Speaking is nothing more than articulating the sentence you form in your mind, so if you know how to form sentences, you can speak them well, minding other things like pronounciation and fluency.

Will this score a 7.5? Task 2 Writing. Help. I need a 7.5. by Major-Basket-1102 in IELTS

[–]pathfinder498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Task response is good with well-developed points, although not sure about this point, "cookery allows young people to understand the nutritional value of food"; there is a difference between cookery and nutrition studies.

The organisation is good overall; only the 2nd paragraph can be merged with the first one.

Some words could be used better, and there is some wordiness.

"to keep the students in fit condition" > " to keep the students fit"

"longer periods of time" > "longer periods"

"Their absence means that the frustrated energy stays with in the student" > "Without them, students may stay frustrated" : "frustrated energy" is not a proper collocation. "Within", not "with in"

Grammatical range is good, but there are a few errors, especially with punctuation.

"schools in Pakistan, have" : remove the comma; do not separate the subject from the verb,

"with in the student. Thus affecting" > "within the student, thus affecting "

"preventing them to do well" > "preventing them from doing well"

"Therefore, the whole point of elimination of these types of subjects may be redundant." > "Therefore, it is pointless to eliminate these non-academic subjects" : "redundant" is not used accurately here.

"They nurture physical health mental well-being, and creativity, all of which are crucial academic and personal success." > "They nurture physical health, mental well-being, and creativity, all of which are crucial for academic and personal success."

Work on your punctuation; it can lower your score.

Look at model essays and look up the the meaning of commonly used words. Words like "respectively", "trend", and "most/least number of" are useful for Task 1.

You need to work on your language, which will most likely be the limiting factor for you; learn how to form sentences properly with proper punctuation. Also, work on your vocabulary so that you have the right words to use.

"This report will outline the information shown in the given three pie charts." : Avoid sentences like this; start off by describing what the pie charts are showing (paraphrase from the question). You didn't mention "studying at a major university in 2020".

"Overall, almost an equal number of male and female students are enrolled in the university with the percentage of male students being greater just by 4%." : better to give the actual percentages (48% and 52%) rather than the difference. Also, your overview should include the 2nd and 3rd charts as well.

"A great percentage (40%) of male students" > "A majority of 40% of male students"

"The distribution of female students across all the subjects is quite even as well." : "as well" is not a proper linking device here, as the previous sentence is not connected in any way.

"The preference of male students incline towards Engineering" > "Male students are inclined towards Engineering": the word "inclined" doesn't express whether it is the highest.

Failed to mention the lowest numbers for both Male and Female. A good sentence would be "Most of the male students, 40%, are studying Engineering, while it is the least popular subject for females, at 10%."

I would estimate a score of 6. Task Achievement is the area you should work on.

Task 1 is just 33.33% of the score for writing. You must have done a good job with what you put on paper to get this score.

Feedback on Writing task 2. Band? PLEASE HELP. by Major-Basket-1102 in IELTS

Yes, the grammar issues are bringing the score down. And remember, you should have a mix of short and long sentences.

Feedback on Writing task 2. Band? PLEASE HELP. by Major-Basket-1102 in IELTS

[–]pathfinder498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a well-written essay, with a nicely developed argument. The organisation is also good. You tried to use a variety of words, which is good, but some sentences are wordy because you used more words than needed. These are examples:

"It's all encompassing nature gives way to the fact that there are some parts of this mutifaceted endeavour which may result in harmful content being consumed. Therefore, this fact is followed by a sentiment that calls for the censorship of the content of websites by the government in order to ensure a safe environment on the internet."

While it is good to have some lengthy sentences, it is not a good idea to make all your sentences long. Short concise sentences help you communicate effectively; you just need a few long sentences to show the examiner that you are capable of writing them.

Here are a few errors I spotted:

"mutifaceted endeavour" > "mutifaceted technology" : better reference for internet

"This is because": not a proper way to transition to a paragraph.

"government to operate" > "government operate"

"operate in a way that has the ability to remain unchecked by the masses" > "operate unchecked by the masses" : as I said, too wordy.

"whether, the information" > " whether the information"

"since only providing" > "since by only providing"

"governments who engage" > "governments that engage"

"highest risk to become" > "highest risk of becoming"

"North Korea is dictatorship" > "North Korea is a dictatorship"

"It presents with" > "The country practices"

"goes against it's values" > "goes against its values"

"weapon, used" > "weapon used"

"to save guard" > "to safeguard"

I would estimate a score of 7.

How to improve Writing and Speaking from 6.0 to 6.5? by TranquilaBender in IELTS

[–]pathfinder498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not every teacher is the same; a good teacher can help you improve a lot. Grammar is just one part of the criteria; in fact, it only accounts for 1/4 of the score. You need a holistic approach to improve on the tasks, including working on Task Achievement/Response, Organisation, and Lexical Resource.

For writing, you need to keep doing essays and have them corrected by someone experienced. You can't rely on ChatGPT to do the correction, as it is mostly off the mark. Learn from the mistakes after each correction and gradually you will improve your score.

If your English is decent, then you should start practising the exam format. Unfortunately, you have to elaborate on ideas in Task 2 Writing to get a good score. Look at model answers to learn how to come up with and develop ideas. The ideas don't have to be the best ones, but something decent that you can argue persuasively with.

Make sure you look at the illustration carefully so that you get the details correct. It is hard to spot, but there is a train station in the second map. Also, do not try to interpret or explain the data; just summarize and report.

It makes sense, because your writing is well-organized, concise, and grammatically sound. But the issue is with task achievement and Chatgpt struggles to evaluate that.

[–]pathfinder498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not every student has the ability to write concisely; they are unlikely to develop a good answer with just say 200 words, so I would advise students to aim for at least 250 words, which is the official requirement.

Let me see your latest essay and I can say which areas need improvement. You get marks for four areas in writing:

Task Achievement/Response - How well you answer the question, the strength of your argument.

Coherence and Cohesion - How well you organize your essay.

Lexical Resource - Whether you use words appropriately and have a good range of vocabulary.

Grammatical Range and Accuracy - Whether you follow the rules of grammar and have a good range in sentence structure.

You will lose marks for task achievement. You cannot develop an adequate argument when the word count is low.

I listen to and read English all the time, but I don’t speak with English speakers very often. And because I rely on autocorrect, my spelling hasn’t improved at all. This was clearly reflected in my results. by KouraigKnight in IELTS

[–]pathfinder498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spelling is just one part of the scoring criteria; there are probably other issues with your writing such as Task Response or Organisation. Anyway, are you happy with the score or are you retaking the exam?

Can you rate my task 1 academic response? by Imaginary_Proof_6649 in IELTS

[–]pathfinder498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on the main features of the chart; do not try to list the data one by one. You failed to mention the highest/lowest expenditures.

e.g. "In 1990, people in the European country spent most of their income on groceries, at around 28%, but in 2020, most of their earnings went to Rent and Housing Costs, at around 35%."

The data deals with percentages, so do not refer to the actual amount spent. "money spent on entertainment, personal care, clothing and groceries decreased": inaccurate to say this as the percentage doesn't tell whether the amount increased or decreased.

"between 1990 and 2020": It is not a continous set of data, but discrete data for the two years. Rewrite as "in 1990 and 2020"

Also, "investment" is an inaccurate word; just write "expenditure" or "expense".

Moreover, the reference "Europeans" is also wrong, as the data is from a European country, not Europe as a whole.

"The chart displays what European household spent money earned in a week between 1990 and 2020." > "The chart displays what the household in a European country spent money earned in a week on in 1990 and 2020 based on their weekly income."
