Your IELTS Writing Guide

Introduction

Your first language (L1) directly affects how you learn English, the type of typical grammar errors you make and the type of mistakes you make when writing the IELTS test.

For students who have a first language such as Mandarin, Russian, Portuguese, or Spanish, etc, there are a number of features that generally appear in these writers’ tasks. This book will show you what these common features are and how to avoid them.

Preparing for IELTS is obviously about learning and using the right language for the task, but equally important is the cognitive aspect, how you think and prepare a response in your head.

In all parts of the writing test, you need to have a standard thought process that you follow to help you to organise your thought and create a quick plan.

This book will show you how to think about each task by asking yourself a number of questions that will enable you to present your ideas.
