🔖 True Riches (Money Is Not True Wealth)

There was once a boy who was growing up in a very wealthy family. One day, his father decided to take him on a trip to show him how others lived who were less fortunate. His father’s goal was to help his son appreciate everything that he has been given in life.

The boy and his father pulled up to a farm where a very poor family lived. They spent several days on the farm, helping the family work for their food and take care of their land.

When they left the farm, his dad asked his son if he enjoyed their trip and if he had learned anything during the time they spent with this other family.

The boy quickly replied, “It was fantastic, that family is so lucky!”

Confused, his father asked what he meant by that.

The boy said, “Well, we only have one dog, but that family has four–and they have chickens! We have four people in our home, but they have 12! They have so many people to play with! We have a pool in our yard, but they have a river running through their property that is endless. We have lanterns outside so we can see at night, but they have the wide open sky and the beautiful stars to give them wonder and light. We have a patio, but they have the entire horizon to enjoy–they have endless fields to run around in and play. We have to go to the grocery store, but they are able to grow their own food. Our high fence protects our property and our family, but they don‘t need such a limiting structure, because their friends protect them.”

The father was speechless.

Finally, the boy added, “Thank you for showing me how rich people live, they’re so lucky.”

🔃 Writing Task 2 Tips for Higher Scores

To achieve a higher band score in IELTS Writing Task 2, providing evidence of advanced writing techniques is a must. In this section you can find out more about complex sentence structures, advanced vocabulary and the effective use of examples to improve your writing.

Using Advanced Vocabulary
Let’s say you want to get a band 8 on vocabulary in your IELTS Writing Task 2. To make it happen, you would need to display skilful use of uncommon lexical items (i.e. vocabulary). Remember, this doesn’t mean cramping your essay with “difficult” or “high-sounding” words. Instead, use idiomatic language (e.g. phrases, phrasal verbs) and uncommon terms that are related to the topic. A sound understanding of collocations is also expected at this level, so you should know which words go together and which words are suitable to use for specific topics. Here are some examples:

Examples of phrases: school of thought, put simply, on balance, to go green.

Examples of phrasal verbs: use up, carry out, cut down on, look into.

Whatever you do, don’t forget the golden rule: if you’re unsure how to use an uncommon term, find a simpler equivalent you can use in its place. Too many lexical errors can bring down your score, so practise using advanced vocabulary in context to ensure accuracy and appropriateness.

🔖 DON'T CHASE BUTTERFLIES

A young lad asked his grandfather,

"Grandpa, I want to be a star, I want to be in movies. When I grow up, I want to see the world, drive nice cars, and live in a house made of glass. Yes, I really want to be successful and great. So tell me, how do I chase all my goals, and catch them faster?"

The grandfather stopped for a moment, turned around, and then spotted a huge and super beautiful butterfly dancing on a flower. At once, he said,

"Oh, my God! What a magnificent butterfly! Now, hurry... hurry and chase after it! Make sure you catch it! Don't let it fly away! Move!"

The young lad hurriedly ran to the butterfly, but as he tried to take hold of it, the butterfly suddenly flew up into the wind. He ran after it, trying to catch it, but it was flying so fast. He ran around and around the garden until he got tired, and then he could no longer see the butterfly. Panting with loss of breath, he returned to his grandfather, wheezing,

"I couldn't catch it, grandpa! It flew away!"

The grandfather smiled for a moment, then held the young lad by his hand and took him to a corner. He waited until he calmed down, then he whispered into his ear,

"Listen, boy, let me teach you a lesson, a valuable life lesson. If you spend your time chasing butterflies, they'll fly away. But if you spend your time creating a beautiful garden, the butterflies will come to you. You see... that butterfly is like your goals in life. In our journey of success, it's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of immediate goals, the fleeting butterflies of life. However, the real magic happens when we focus on building something substantial, akin to cultivating a vibrant garden. Instead of relentlessly chasing, channel your energy into creating and nurturing. Build something meaningful, whether it's a project, a skill, or a relationship. The beauty you will cultivate will attract opportunities, experience, and success naturally. So don't chase love, money, or success. Become the best version of yourself and those things will come to you."

🔃 Writing Task 2 Tips for Higher Scores

To achieve a higher band score in IELTS Writing Task 2, providing evidence of advanced writing techniques is a must. In this section you can find out more about complex sentence structures, advanced vocabulary and the effective use of examples to improve your writing.

Using Complex Sentence Structures
The ability to use a range of grammar structures (simple, compound and complex sentences) accurately and appropriately can get you a higher score in IELTS Writing Task 2. Compared to simple and compound sentences, complex ones are harder to get right. A complex sentence combines an independent clause with one or more dependent clauses. Here are some examples:

Example: Although many people believe that zoos are beneficial for education, others argue that they are inhumane and should be banned.

Example: If the government implements strict policies, pollution levels will decrease significantly.

🔖 A Lesson in Love: A Son's Tender Care for his Father

A son took his father to a restaurant to enjoy a delicious dinner. His father was quite old and therefore a little weak too.
While eating, food occasionally fell on his shirt and pants. The other guests watched the old man with their faces contorted in disgust, but his son remained calm.

After they both finished eating, the son, quietly helped his father and took him to the toilet. Cleaned food scraps from his crumpled face, and attempted to wash food stains from his clothes; graciously combed his gray hair and finally put on his glasses.

As he left the bathroom, a deep silence reigned in the restaurant. The son was ready to foot the bill, but before leaving, a man, also old, got up and asked the old man's son: 'Don't you think you left something here ? '

The young man replied: 'No, I did not leave anything.' Then the stranger said to him: 'You left a lesson here for every son, and a hope for every father! ”The whole restaurant was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.

One of the greatest honors that exists, is being able to take care of those who have taken care of us too. Our parents and all those elders who sacrificed their lives, with all their time, money and effort for us, deserve our utmost respect.

🔃 How large a vocabulary is needed to get a Band 7 for Writing? Does vocabulary really matter in Writing?

To achieve a Band 7 in Writing, a large vocabulary matters a lot. If you look at the IELTS public band descriptors (see here), you’ll notice that the Band 7 category for vocabulary (“Lexical Resource”) says the following:

— Uses a sufficient range of vocabulary to allow some flexibility and precision;
— Uses less common lexical items with some awareness of style and collocation;
— May produce occasional errors in word choice, spelling and/or word formation.

It is important to pay attention to the phrase “sufficient range”. This means that you need to use a wide range of simple AND less common vocabulary. For example, if the topic of the question relates to cars, don’t just keep writing “cars” for the whole essay; use less common synonyms for “car” like “vehicle”, “automobile”, etc. It would be unnatural to only use less common vocabulary, so remember to use a mixture of simple and more complex words.

It is also important that you show “some awareness of style and collocation” as you use less common vocabulary. This means that you shouldn’t just use a less common word because you memorized it; you should be able to use it in an appropriate context where native speakers would be likely to use it. To become skilled at this, you should:

— watch a wide range of English language videos (TED talks, TV shows, movies, etc.);
— read a wide range of English language texts (website and newspaper articles, books, etc.) so that you can develop a feel for the language.

🔖 The Right Place to Shine

A father told his daughter, "Congrats on your graduation. I bought you a car a while back. I want you to have it now."

Before I give it to you, take it to a car dealer in the city and sell it. See how much they offer.”

The girl came back to her father & said: "They offered me $10,000 dollars because it looks very old"

Father said: "Ok, now take it to the pawn shop".

The girl returns to her father & said: "The pawn shop offered $1,000 dollars because it's a very old car & a lot of work done".

The father told her to join a passionate car club with experts & show them the car.

The girl drove to the passionate car club.

She returned to her father after a few hours & told him, “Some people in the club offered me $100k because its a rare car that's in good condition.”

Then the father said, "I wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place. If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value ."

The moral of the story : Know your worth and know where you are valued. A diamond doesn't shine on the bottom of a cave.

ℹ️ Tips and tricks on how to stay on topic

To make sure you stay on track in your IELTS Writing Task 2 essays, here are some helpful tips for you to keep in mind to score high in your IELTS test:

〰️ Understand the question: Before you start writing, fully understand the question. Identify the main points and what it's asking for. This will guide your essay and prevent you from going off-topic.

〰️ Plan your essay: Create a clear outline with the main ideas, supporting arguments, and examples you will use. This keeps you organised and focused on the task.

〰️ Stick to your thesis: Make a span thesis statement that directly addresses the question. Use it as a reference point throughout your essay to stay on topic.

〰️ Avoid going off track: While it's good to show your knowledge, ensure every point you include supports your main argument and is relevant to the assigned topic.

〰️ Proofread and revise: Take time at the end to review your essay. Check if your arguments and examples align with the main question and make any necessary changes to ensure coherence and cohesion.

〰️ Stay focused during writing: While writing your essay, keep reminding yourself about the main question and your thesis statement. This will help you stay on track and avoid getting off into unrelated areas.

〰️ Be mindful of word limits: IELTS essays have a word limit, and going off-topic may cause you to run out of space without adequately addressing the main question. Keep track of your word count to ensure you allocate enough space to cover the essential points.

〰️ Practice time management: During the exam, allocate time wisely for planning, writing, and revising. When you manage your time effectively, you reduce the chances of rushing and going off-topic due to time constraints.

〰️ Seek feedback from others: Before the actual exam, have someone review your practice essays. Ask them if your response stays on topic and effectively addresses the question. Constructive feedback can help you improve and refine your approach.

〰️ Focus on the main idea in each paragraph: Each paragraph should contribute to your overall argument and be centred around the main topic of the essay. Avoid introducing unrelated ideas within the same paragraph.

〰️ Use topic sentences: Start each paragraph with a clear topic sentence that relates back to the main question. This will help you stay organised and on point throughout your essay.

〰️ Practice staying on topic: Regularly practice writing essays on various topics and ensure that you consistently adhere to the given prompts. The more you practice, the better you will become at staying focused and avoiding deviations.
