Sometimes you have a conversation with a student that is GOLD and you just know you have to share it. One of my biggest strategies for helping my students get a 7+ band score is working on brainstorming. This week, as I was giving feedback on an essay to a student, we got into a discussion about how helpful brainstorming is to getting a 7 and I just had to share. Episode Links The IELTS Writing & Speaking Study Plan https://www.kristinespinar.com/study-plan
“I brainstorm but then when I’m writing, I start to have different ideas coming from different parts of my mind and then I start to mix things up. When I start to mix things up, I lose control and when I lose control, I write, write, write and then I run out of time and I haven’t said what I want to say and I don’t have time to check my essay and I start to freak out. “ This is how one of my students explained the experience of sitting down to write the IELTS essay. Can you relate? This week, we discuss how to avoid this feeling of being all mixed up when it comes to the IELTS essay.

It’s easy to get a 6.5 in IELTS writing, in my opinion...But it’s MUCH harder to get a 7. In order to help my students get a 7, I work on a lot of little extra tips. Little nuances to add. Better ways to introduce and sequence their arguments. One thing I do is add development and depth of thought through using these two grammar tricks.
