0Most IELTS students lose marks in Writing without even realising why. Here are 5 mistakes I see repeatedly in my students:
1. Repeating the same words — Use synonyms like "significant" instead of "important"
2. Not answering the question directly — Always address ALL parts of the question
3. Short paragraphs — Each body paragraph needs a point, explanation and example
4. Ignoring word count — Task 1 needs 150+ words, Task 2 needs 250+ words
5. No time management — Spend 20 mins on Task 1, 40 mins on Task 2
