The easy way to ielts writing academic Module

This sample writing shows the organization of a three-body-paragraph essay, where the writer’s
opinion is explained in a separate paragraph. However, as discussed in the previous sample writing,
it is possible to organize these questions in four paragraphs. As long as the questions are fully
responded to, both structures are acceptable. This essay is entitled to a high band score as it has
excellent coherence and cohesion overall, uses advanced topic-related vocabulary and expressions in
various sentence structures flexibly and accurately. 
(Advanced-topic related vocabulary,
collocations, and expressions are underlined in this sample essay.)
Double-question essays
These types of essays, also known as “direct-question essays,” usually introduce a situation or give a statement
about something and then raise two questions that may or may not be related. If both questions are equally
responded to in body paragraphs, a high band score for task response could be expected.
