As per advice by Ms. Silverdragon, I'd like to start this thread and ask for help to those IELTS takers who took and passed their Writing test with scores of 7.5 and above. I'm in great distress right now. I took my IELTS and passed everything, except Writing. (6.5 - WRITING!!!:angryfire)
I really don't know how I failed this. I always though I'm good in expressing myself through writing. Anyway, I hope someone here who passed his/her writing (score of 7.5 & up) can give me some lectures or tips how to score well on this test. I only have 31 days left before my next IELTS and i really hope i wont fail this time. im AU-bound so i need 7.
Also, I sought Scotts English's service. It's informative and helpful but, ufortunately, not enough to pass my writing. Its case to case basis anyway, might help you, but not me (things like that)
Please, please, please I need your help guys. Thanks.

you need to study grammar and usage , as well as spelling.
If you are to give your stand on one topic, where will you write it? on the introduction or at the conclusion?[/quotes]
Well, if I was asked to give my opinion, then it will be in my introduction. I find it easier and more organized if I put the main idea or topic in the intro.

sorry for the typo error. as for the other correction, i stand corrected. thanks.
hi guys thanks for starting this post.. It really helps a lot. I am also reviewing for my IELTS exam, though i don't have a schedule just yet.Writing task 2 seemed to be quite difficult. Keep coming guys. Thank you so much..:)
Hmmm, I really can't relate here, I got a 7 in writing and 6.5 in reading but I managed to have an 8 for the rest so I still passed. I think it's the overall score and the speaking part that they are particular.
Did getting a 6.5 in writing made you fail the exam?

actually it depends on the country you want to go. like for me, im AU-bound so i will be needing 7 for writing.
Try to make 5 paragraphs consisting of 2-3 sentences.You should state, for example on the:
1 paragraph
Introduction-
There have been established facts about the harmful effects of smoking to our health. These established facts are being questioned by skeptics. Furthermore, in my essay I am going to write the advantages and disadvantages of allowing smoking inside a restaurant..
2nd Paragrapah
Body
state the advantages
3rd paragraph
Body
state the disadvantages
4th paragraph
Body
does the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or otherwise? Support your answer..
Conclusion:
Therefore, I conclude or begin your sentence with "to sum up... what do you support more, the advantages or the disadvantages of allowing smoking inside the restaurant.. support your answers..
" i just hope they can find work before their visa expires. and please update us if your friends managed to find work. thanks! "
recommended grammar usage:
- before their visas expire ( present tense , dangerous )
or
- before their visa expired ( past tense, safe )
or
- before their visas expired ( past tense , safe )
apparently, what you're doing won't help me pass my writing test. grammar is only one part of the criteria and that is my least priority. as you can see, i may not have the perfect grammar here but i know my english is good enough. they may have occasional slip-ups but i am not after getting 9 so what you are doing is totally unnecessary.
i am asking for tips how i can pass my test. tips on construction/outline, analyzation, the use of connecting words. what you're doing is you check my grammar and you dissect it word per word. it's not helping at all.
