This concerns IELTS writing

In this little engagement I've taken upon myself to review IELTS writing samples, I observed a common trend which I think is seriously affecting guys' IELTS writing scores and which they are probably unaware of.

Let's say you have a topic which says, "Some people feel that science does more harm than good. Others are against this assertion. What is your own opinion?" After giving a brief introduction and taking their position (whether for or against), some students set out arguing the contrary position first, before arguing their opinion, i.e. they take an initial position "for the motion" that science does more harm than good, but then dabble into explanations why they think science does more good than harm. Only in later paragraphs do they express their opinion why they think science does harm, sometimes unconvincingly and oftentimes overshadowed by their earlier contrary explanations. This way, they tend to discuss both sides of the argument without really taking a firm position or outrightly expressing their opinion. This is very poor and has the chance to earn you incredibly low scores on your IELTS writing.

IELTS writing is simple, really. It's not only simple, it's straightforward. The examiner often asks one thing of you and she/he wants you to express an opinion and to express it well. In this example, there's no reason to discuss both the "for" and "against" positions. You needed to choose one position and to clearly express this position. Questions of this sort are called "agree/disagree questions" and are the most common types on the IELTS writing task 2. If you do express an opinion (in your introduction) that science does more harm than good, you better make sure your next paragraphs are clear about the reasons you have taken this particular position (the "for" position). Do not dabble into the "against" reasons. You have no reason to. Same applies if you have taken the "against" position; leave the "for" points alone. These are the easiest ways to attack this question.

Now, there are of course some inventive persons out there who are able to confidently demonstrate their prose skills in exam conditions. Well, such persons may express an opinion (in the introduction) that's neither totally for nor against. If you are one of such persons, you'd know how to present your points already. There's no reason thrashing out all that here. But for those who would state clearly (in the essay introduction) that they are either for or against, please don't dabble into the opposing points. You'd only lose marks.

Well, just a tip... smiley

Ielts Result 1st attempt BC: L8 R9 W6 S9!! When I saw the result I paused for a minute! I knew exactly what happened I was too casual with my writing, I didn’t practice enough because it was just essay writing and letter but ielts cleared my doubt.
Well no need to cry over spilled milk. I quickly enrolled and paid for for July 28th(7weeks) from now. Please guys I need writing tips and preferred materials because I want this to be my second and last one. Thanks guys for the great job.

that would have been a stellar result!!! ouch!!!!! well, almost doesn't count.
my advice: go to ieltsliz. com, you won't be disappointed I tell you. everything tip you need about writing is there. the format for all these different types of essay and letter-writing questions. she helped me in my time.
I believe your next attempt would be the last. Godspeed!!!!

Can you please share how you prepared for your writing?

I used the Cambridge guide to IELTS. I didn't really do much writing but I had like 2 months to prepare. So I read through a number of model writing answers in the guide.

Hi guys

I don't no if anyone has experienced this, last two weeks my WES evaluation page changed from "we have received your documents, you are required to do nothing at this time" to "received document awaiting verification". This week, it changed back to "we have received documents, you are required to do anything at this time". It didn't show that they have accepted my documents before changing back (the attached is not mine, I just attached it to show the change from the verification page and back to the initial page). I don't know if anyone experienced this, please assist to explain. Thanks

I have just been informed that a Director at BC is my neighbour. Lets see if I can engage him informally. I am sure they would not like all these negative publicity.

By the way; how come no one looked for me? Newmum, you have special cane in the cooler.

WES sent my transcript to Unilag for Verification since May 16th. Followed up with Unilag only to be told they didnt receive any email or courier from WES for me.

What else can I do since wes insist they sent it

Same with mine. I had to tell my school to search with my husbands name as I registered with his name. They were searching with my maiden name for 2wks.

Hello Eraytee, I used ieltsliz and ieltsbuddy. I used two days to learn the kind of questions that appear in ielts general training reading. Then I used the same two days to learn the tips and tricks in answering those kind of questions. I had one month to prepare. I used the remaining weeks to do practice questions from www.mini-ielts.com . I practiced every single day Listening tests(YouTube and Mini-ielts.com) and reading(mini-ielts) for a minimum of 2hrs. I believe practice is what will help anyone ace listening and reading module, even writing(I used uncle Jay on YouTube and learnt the different types of essays and format for writing).
My results (9,9,8.5,8 ) May 24th,2017.

Goodluck.

Congrats on your result. It is very good.[s] Has your wife done IELTS? Did she evaluate her educational qualification/qualifications? Have you guys explored what she can contribute to your overall score? Stimulate your intended ielts score using the CRS tool and see how far that would take you. Then do the same for your spouse if she does WES or IELTS and therein lies your answer. Also consider the time both actions would take. [/s]

Noticed your response that your wife has done ielts and all. Can she retake it and hopefully score just as good as you. She could actually be the principal applicant. How many years of work experience does she have. Just sha stimulate CRS scores in her case and consider that.

Good luck with whatever decision you make.
Thanks for your help. I just discovered that I made a mistake in my CRS estimate. It is actually 436. I definitely will be asking for remark of the tests. She has one year of work experience only so she can't be the principal applicant.

After receiving and reviewing your documents your status will be updated to "awaiting verification". But I'm surprised they are still reviewing your documents for a week now, mine didn't last that long.

Good Morning E-Friends,

I finally downloaded the soft copy of my ECA report from WES today after 5 months journey.

For those that have ACIIN (Associate of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria) you will get a positive evaluation of Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's Degree (Three years).

If you also graduate from Faculty of Engineering, University of Ilorin, make sure you specify to Academic record that the transcript they will send to WES must show your 100 Level result to avoid back & forth.

Finally, the EOR wait from BC is crazy, This is my 12th week.

It will definitely end with Praise.

Make una enjoy your weekend jare.
