    Hi Liz, I would like you to know that your site has been so helpful to me as I prepare for my IELTS exam on May 30th.

    I just have one question about paraphrasing as I understood, you need to paraphrase and find the synonyms for almost all of the words of IELTS question task 2 per your advice in your lesson in “background and thesis statement”; however, in this practice test, you only replaced the synonym of few words. Hence, which one should we follow in writing our introduction in writing test task 2? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    • Liz says

      You do not need to replace almost all the words. You paraphrase those words that are possible to paraphrase and then write the sentence again your way. This often means changing the grammar and sentence structure.

  3. Abdulrahim says

    Hi Liz, After I bought your book about ideas, I found that you did not include the question for every topic. I found this paragraph here by searching on google and it is matching with the first topic in your book. Can you please send me these questions if possible?. I think it is a waste of time for me to search for them.

  4. Are we using pen or pencil to write this essay’s

  5. sravya says

    mam can we use pupil instead of children to paraphrase the word children

    • That would only be possible if you were writing about school. Synonyms are often limited due to context.

  6. daffodil says

    Hi Liz, my question is not related with this post. It is about grammar which we use in Task 2. Could you give me some tips and advice about grammar? My essays’ feedbacks are always about grammar mistakes.Thanks in advance!

    • I think the key is to know your limitations. If your grammar is not strong, you should not aim to make complex sentences. You should aim to make safe sentences which are error free and have a clear meaning. Your grammar score is only 25% of your marks. Even if you get band 6 in grammar, you can still get a high score in the other criteria. So, control your weak areas and play your strengths.

  7. Balaji says

    Hi Liz,

    Though it is not relevant to this post, I request you to clarify my doubt regarding writing task-2.
    – Most of the model essays given by you do not have the introduction that starts with a passive sentence like ‘It is believed/thought/argued/assumed’ and most of the body paragraphs also does not start with words like ‘on one hand/firstly/first of all’. Even though they are ranked 9 in the examiner comments section. So, my question here is, does following this pattern of beginning the paragraphs(both intro and body) give an impression to the examiner, that this is not original and its something which was by heart by the candidate?

    Thanks
    Balaji

    • If your aim is to follow a template with set phrases and linking words, you will not get band 9. Band 9 is all about flexibility of language and connective devices.

  8. Rabah says

    Hello liz, i need your help please, my ielts results are withheld and are under scrutiny to ensure test integrity,what could that possibly mean.
