0Reading the newspaper everyday helps in gaining an understanding about academic writing. IELTS writing task I is different for General and Academic Training, Writing Task II is the same for both the modules. The structure of the essays, coherence and cohesion, use of collocations, connectors, paragraphing and adequate task response enables one to get a higher band score. Although several online resources are available, it is better to avoid plagiarism, instead adopt an individual style of writing. Practising at least fifty essays would give the student the confidence to write well, gain a decent band score.
