 of the game here. To score well, an examinee needs to show that they have a wide-ranging

 and they know how to use it. Our sample

 does a solid job of showing off a range of

 – you'll notice that
while
 the
essay
 frequently refers to children, the writer employs different
vocabulary
 (infants, youngsters, offspring, counterparts) to do so. Note: it is highly likely that you will need to refer to people/children in your IELTS Writing task 2, so make sure that you have lots of different words to use to refer to them. IELTS examiners do not like to see the words “people,”

 over and over again! The same goes for the word “important” – make sure you have plenty of alternative phrases (essential and vital are both used in our sample
essay
). Other examples of a wide-ranging
vocabulary
 in our
essay
 include using rapidly in place of quickly, mature
instead
 of develop, repercussions to indicate a negative result, and acquire in place of

essay
also
 does a good job of using collocations – some examples include “fundamental reason,” “reluctant readers” “social and cognitive skills,” “learn
