Understanding the Difference: Task 1 vs. Task 2
Scoring high in IELTS Writing means mastering both tasks. Task 2 is worth double the marks, but a low Task 1 score can pull your entire band down. Our templates provide separate, expert strategies for both.
Get Both TemplatesHow is IELTS Writing Evaluated?
To get a Band 8+, you must understand the four criteria. Our templates are built to help you score high in all of them.
1. Task Achievement (TA)
Did you answer all parts of the question? Did you provide a clear overview (for Task 1) or a clear position (for Task 2)?
2. Coherence & Cohesion (CC)
Is your writing logical? Are your paragraphs clear? Did you use linking words (like ‘However’, ‘Moreover’) correctly?
3. Lexical Resource (LR)
Did you use a wide range of vocabulary? Did you avoid repeating simple words? Is your spelling correct?
4. Grammatical Range (GRA)
Did you use a mix of simple, compound, and complex sentences? Did you avoid grammatical errors (like tense, prepositions)?

Frequently Asked Questions
How can an IELTS writing template improve my score?
Templates give you a proven, high-scoring structure. This saves you time in the exam and ensures you meet all parts of the ‘Task Achievement’ and ‘Coherence’ criteria. Instead of worrying about *how* to write, you can focus on *what* to write.
Is it safe to use templates in the IELTS exam?
Yes, but with a warning. You cannot memorize an entire essay. Our templates provide a *structure* or *skeleton* (e.g., introduction format, linking phrases, paragraph breaks). You must fill in that skeleton with your *own* ideas and vocabulary based on the question. This is a safe and effective strategy.
Can I really get Band 8+ using these templates?
Yes. Our templates are designed based on Band 8 and Band 9 model answers. They ensure you don’t lose ‘easy’ marks on structure. However, to achieve a Band 8+, you must also use advanced vocabulary (LR) and have good grammar (GRA), which our free demo class can help you with.
What is the most common mistake in IELTS Writing?
The single most common mistake is not answering the question fully (Poor Task Achievement). For example, in a “Discuss both views and give your opinion” essay, many students forget to give their *own* opinion. Our templates have specific prompts to ensure you never miss a part of the question.
How many fields should my lead capture form have?
We only ask for the essentials: Name, Email, and Phone. This makes the form quick to fill out. Your phone number is important so our counselors can send you the PDF on WhatsApp and offer you a free demo class to support your preparation.
