Coherence & Cohesion
Ensure that the essay has a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. In your body paragraphs, present your arguments with clear topic sentences at the beginning, followed by explanations and examples.
Coherence & Cohesion
Check for spelling and grammar accuracy. Misused and misspelled words like 'induviduals', 'spheares', 'provoque', or 'negatory' can hinder understanding and thus the overall coherence of your essay.
Task Achievement
When presenting an argument, be sure to expand on your main points with appropriate explanations and examples. Avoid overly broad statements and provide concrete and relevant illustrations to support your arguments.
Task Achievement
Make sure to address all parts of the question fully, offering a balanced view if the prompt requires a discussion of both positive and negative aspects. Your conclusion should also summarily reflect on the points discussed in the essay without introducing new information.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
