task achievement
Consider rephrasing and clarifying your introduction to clearly outline your stance and the main points you will discuss. For example, instead of 'reveal that how much they are intelligent,' you could say, 'demonstrate a person’s level of intelligence.'
coherence and cohesion
Make sure to maintain consistent subject-verb agreement and use the correct forms of words. For example, say 'the most successful individuals' instead of 'the most succeed characters'.
coherence and cohesion
Enhance the logical flow of ideas by using transitions more effectively. For instance, use phrases like 'on the contrary' or 'in contrast' when comparing the two views.
task achievement
Ensure your conclusion clearly reflects your opinion and summarizes your main points without introducing new ideas. For example, restate your argument about why intelligence should not solely be measured by success.
task achievement
The essay demonstrates a balanced view by presenting both sides of the argument, which shows an understanding of the complexity of the topic.
supported main points
Good use of examples such as Einstein illustrates the point well and adds credibility to your argument.

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.
