🔃 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.
