Ielts writing Task 1 + 2

“much more”, you can say 
“a great deal larger”
. Also,
“big” is too informal for reports and essays, we should use 
“large”
“sizeable” “significant” 
instead
.
5. Do not begin sentences with “And”, “But”, “Or”. Instead use linking
phrases that sound more academic such as 
“In addition/Furthermore”,
“However”, “Since”, “As a result”.
6. 
The first sentence of each body paragraph should be a topic sentence
, 
it
should define the content of the paragraph in general terms
. The number one
job of the topic sentence is to tell the readers what they are going to read in

that paragraph. It’s a signal to the readers. A topic sentence can do other
things, but its number one job is to send the signal to the readers.
7. “Most/almost”: “Most” is an 
adjective
(usually) which means 
the greatest
quantity, amount, measure, degree or number of something
. It is followed by
a noun, prepositional phrase or adjective: 
“Most people", “the most popular”
“most of his time”, “most of my friends study abroad”
.
“Almost” is an 
adverb
which means 
very nearly (a language of
estimation), it means 
close, but NOT totally. Examples: 
“We’re almost
home.”, “almost finished”, “almost every house”, “almost never” “almost
all of the students”
.
8. Manage your time well. Task 1= 20 minutes. Task 2=40 minutes. A
poorly written essay for the report will receive a higher band score than an
incomplete one.
Task 1 = 150 words, Task 2 = 250 words. Make sure you
write the minimum number of words.
