    Correct me if I am wrong, but in the sentence, ‘it’ refers to the ‘Wider roads’ which solve traffic congestion, not just ‘building’ them. As the ‘roads’ are plural the sentence should have been written as ‘these solve traffic congestion’ not ‘it solves ….’
    Would appreciate your reply.

      The noun is “building wider roads”. This is called a noun phrase and also a gerund noun phrase. A gerund noun phrase is always singular. Please get my Grammar E-book which has a great chapter covering noun phrases and gerund noun phrases: https://elizabethferguson.podia.com/

    Hi,
    I got writing score 6.5 in the very first attempt, even without a single writing practice. First time writing after years for IELTS exam. But, I use to read many articles and IELTS topics. Is that a good sign to get 8 band next time? Of course, I need to practice both writing and reading.

      Unfortunately, I can’t edit this mistake. It’s a shame because I didn’t notice until it was too late 🙁

    Hi Liz,

    Thank you for your interesting lesson and I found it useful, I have use this website to review for my IELTS. By the way, can I use the writing task 2 tips as a guide in University English Exam?

    thank you once again.

      I wouldn’t recommend using all the tips for university essays. While they are both academic in style and content, the length, technique and organisation sometimes differs. You need to get guidelines from you university or just ask for sample essays to look at. That way you will be able to see the differences between an IELTS essay and a university essay.
      All the best
      Liz
