This is a good tip however it does not solve the problem of getting at least 6. If you follow these tips but if your grammar, connection sentences, coherence and vocabulary have a few errors....you get the same 5 or 5.5.
Also, there is a remark and it is very confusing about P-E-E. Some Teachers say you should not loss the focus about the topic and if you introduce other problems as "depletion of nature resources" is not a good idea to introduce.
Anyway just wondering who assess to IELTS evaluators , maybe each of them has different criteria? I saw very good essays but only getting 5.5 and 6. even using a good connectors, vocabulary, grammar, structures and following those tips but the maximum they got is 6.5. I am asking if it is fair all the time or just lucky if evaluator is relaxing when assess your essay.
Great work 👏 👍 👌 💪
Thanks very much. It's a great help.
Thanks. That's exactly what I need. It's easy to follow
Thanks a million times.
i found your tips quite beneficial.
Regarding writing the problems in one paragraph and the solutions in two paragraphs , why we cannot discuss the problem with its solution in the same paragraph ??
It will be confusing
You can, but it's harder to do.
so this points can only get you a band 6? are you kidding me?
Nice explanation! I've learnt some necessary aspects to improve writing skills. Arigato
