- Always have an introduction and overview. They must be separate statements.
- Always divide your body paragraphs into two (or sometimes three) paragraphs.
- Your body paragraphs should be logical and help to highlight similarities and differences.
- Learn an empty line between paragraphs to make them clear and easy to see. This is not a requirements, it is a recommendation. If your paragraphs are not easy to see, your score might be lower.

I don’t normally give feedback as that is not the purpose of my website. However, I will say your aim is to write over 150 words for writing task 1 and this is in the instructions given by IELTS. Your writing is around 130 words. While there is no automatic penalty anymore for being under the word count, it is definitely not something you want to do. You want your task 1 to be developed sufficiently. This means you need to extend your overview to include a description of specific key features. And you need to be more specific in your body paragraphs. Now go to the page above and compare my model answer with your writing. Go through and compare them both paragraph by paragraph and make a list of what you didn’t do.

Mam plz check my mistakes and give me band score plzzzz ……bcz I am preparing my exam at home

You can either indent your first word of the paragraph or you can leave one line empty between paragraphs. I prefer the second option because it is easier for the examiner.

Wowwww
This is impressive!
Hi Liz, although it’s a very high band scoring answer but why didn’t you use any connective word in body paragraphs
Linking words used: Overall, whereas, while, but. In a short report, that is actually reasonable. To add more, you could use “Furthermore, In addition”. Using any more would be an over-use of linking words which would lower your score. You don’t need a linking word in each sentences. There are only 10 sentences, this model answer used 4. If you use 6, that’s great.
Thanks you are always excellent, mam
