Do you struggle to think of ideas when you sit down to write your IELTS Writing Task 2 essay?
When ideas do finally appear, is it a challenge for you to develop these ideas coherently and cohesively?
Do you sometimes fail to address all elements of the task, only noticing your error once you've finished?
Are you someone who is comfortable with English in general, but can't 'find the right words' when it comes to writing an essay?
If so, then this IELTS preparation course might be for you.
'Mastering IELTS Writing: Task 2 (Band 9 Model Answers)' takes all the advice and guidance offered in 'Mastering IELTS Writing: Task 2' (6,000+ 5-star reviews) and applies it to twelve separate essays.
In this course, there are two complete walkthroughs for essays according to each of the four question types, along with two walkthroughs for essays which do not neatly fall into these question type categories and two essays completed during my monthly live classes. All together, this makes a total of twelve complete walkthroughs of Band 9 essays.
Each of the essays focuses on a different topic (including technology, work, culture and education among many others), helping you to generate ideas about a variety of fields and boost your range of topic-related vocabulary. The course applies to both the IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training modules
Over the course of around 40 minutes, I will take you through the process of how to approach the question, plan your essay, write your introduction, develop your ideas in your body paragraphs, and close with a strong conclusion, all with a range of complex grammar and sophisticated vocabulary. And with 12 model answers to go through, this gives you almost 14 hours of video content!
There are also exercises to complete after the end of every walkthrough that will give you the chance to consolidate the new topic-related collocations, academic vocabulary and cohesive language you have learnt.
This course works best as an 'accompaniment' to your main writing studies. In other words, to make the most out of this Model Answers course, it is strongly recommended for you to go through the original 'Mastering IELTS Writing: Task 2' course before beginning as all of the essays here rely on the strategies, techniques and guidance taught in that course.
However, you can still benefit a lot from these model answers if you take the two courses at the same time.
This course is not appropriate for students preparing for IELTS Speaking, IELTS Reading, IELTS Listening or IELTS Writing Task 1, or for students of the TOEFL exam. Remember, it is appropriate for both IELTS Academic and IELTS GT students.
This has been one of the most requested video courses from my 60,000+ Udemy students, and I'm really excited to be sharing it with you now. So let's get started!
