BEST IELTS WRITING STRATEGIES IN 2023
To live up to its reputation of being the best IELTS training Centre in Kerala, B-GHUD Academy keeps striving to provide its IELTS students with whatever guidelines are necessary. Here are the IELTS writing strategies IELTS students should be equipped with to enable them to do commendably well in the IELTS tests. 1. IELTS writing is for 60 minutes. Task 2 (Essay) is longer than Task 1 (Graph/Letter) and it also fetches double the marks. It is, therefore, important that students wisely divide the time for each task. Spend 20 minutes on Task 1 so that they can take 40 minutes to attempt the essay comfortably. 2. IELTS students should essentially read and understand the topic thoroughly well. It is because an IELTS essay should address the different parts of the topic relevantly. Otherwise, the task would not be achieved and the IELTS student will lose marks. 3. While writing the introduction, every IELTS student should make sure that they use their own words. Copying the topic as it is to write the introduction will be penalised – copied material will not be counted and your total word count would come down. Make sure that you rephrase the topic for your introduction. 4. After having thoroughly understood the different aspects of the topic – that is, after ensuring exactly what points in the essay are to be dealt with – make a plan mentally on how to approach the essay, what to write and how. You may use rough paper to jot down the points. 5. Divide the main body of your essay into paragraphs. You may write two or three body paragraphs depending on the topic. It is in these paragraphs that you present your main ideas. You should write these ideas clearly and support them with examples. If your ideas are clear and well-supported, you will get more marks. 6. While writing the main paragraphs, ensure that they are linked together using “coherence.” Your writing becomes exceptionally impressive if you use apt words or phrases for coherence. An example of good coherence is given below. a. Body paragraph 1 begins: “On the one hand….” b. Body paragraph 2 begins: “On the other hand….” The coherence used above clearly shows that your ideas are contrasting. All essays in B-GHUD books, “IELTS & TOEFL Made Easy” and “IELTS Writing Made Easy” (there are nearly 500 of them!) use an extensive range of coherence for the IELTS students to master prompt use of them. 7. You should write your essay in a discursive style. It means that the sentences you write in a paragraph should be linked together using connective words. It is known as “cohesion.” Cohesion ensures attractive writing. An example of cohesion is given below. “Space research is of great benefit to a nation. However, it is extremely expensive.” This sentence means that “although space research is beneficial, it is very expensive.” See how well the word, ‘however,’ connects the two sentences! Similar to coherence, our books, “IELTS & TOEFL Made Easy” and “IELTS Writing Made Easy” use countless examples of cohesion in their essays for the IELTS students to have a good grasp of them. 8. Lexical resources are another important factor in writing good IELTS essays. The test taker should try to use his own words. Remember, also, to use topic-related words. Topic-related words are those words that are closely related to the topic in question and are usually used frequently while writing or speaking about the subject. For example, if the topic is “pollution,” the related words are waste disposal, waste management, pollution control, effluent treatment, carbon emission, carbon footprint, global warming, environmental problems, greenhouse effect, climate change, deforestation, afforestation and so on. All IELTS essays in our books, “IELTS & TOEFL Made Easy” and “IELTS Writing made Easy” invariably use topic-related words, phrases and terms to benefit IELTS trainees. B-GHUD maintains its position as the top IELTS Coaching Centre in Kerala by ensuring that its students are provided with the best guidance. 9. GRA (Grammatical Range and Accuracy) is one of the main criteria for the evaluation of IELTS essays. Grammatical range means that the IELTS test takers should write a variety of sentence structures in their IELTS essays. B-GHUD book, “IELTS & TOEFL Made Easy,” caters to an extensive range of attractive structures (see pages 108, 109, 187, 239, 240, 300) for IELTS students to imbibe, so that they can write the impressive language. Grammatical accuracy generally means that the IELTS test takers should use the correct tenses in their IELTS essays. There are any number of interesting and intelligent exercises in our book, “IELTS & TOEFL Made Easy,” for the IELTS students to get adept at the use of the right tenses (“Syntax”) in their IELTS writing. 10. Writing the concluding paragraph is yet another important area where that IELTS students should be careful about. Since the conclusion is the last part of your essay, it creates a lasting impression on the evaluator. IELTS students should, therefore, try to make it striking. Your conclusion should not only be logical, but it also should not vary from the thesis sentence you have already written in the introduction. Consistency of your view is what the examiner looks for. 11. Last but not least, your word count should be sufficient (not less than 250 words.) Keep check of your word count from time to time while writing, so that your essay is neither short of the requisite word count nor too long. Whereas short answers will be penalised, you get no extra marks for long essays. Check your essay for grammar, spelling and punctuation errors before turning in your answer paper. We at B-GHUD Academy make it customary to train our IELTS students in line with these strategies. It is thus that we consistently achieve a high success rate and keep being the No.1 IELTS coaching centre in Kerala.
HOW DOES B-GHUD ACADEMY STILL EXIST?
B-GHUD has survived many challenges during the last 26 years and emerged victorious in the rat race of mushrooming institutes only because it has been producing excellent results since its inception in 1996. Of all the institutes of IELTS and TOEFL which started during that period, many of them could not survive because of fierce competition in the field, inability to be adaptable to the paradigm shifts in the fields, unprofessional management, the absence of futuristic vision and the inability to move with the times. Positive word of mouth, it is generally said, is the most reliable marketing strategy. B-GHUD ACADEMY has been abundantly blessed with it for valid reasons. Beyond all these B-GHUD could help a huge number of successful candidates score a high band in the global English exams required for studying abroad and migrating to progressive nations. In addition, the consistency in generating commendable results has enabled this institute to fetch students and job aspirants from the length and width of India. It is worth mentioning that B-GHUD ACADEMY is the only institute in South India which published 8 comprehensive best-selling books on IELTS, OET and global exams on nursing. These books certainly have facilitated a good number of students in India and the Gulf to reach their dream universities and helped numerous job aspirants settle in knowledge-based economies such as the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Canada Malta, Germany and the four Scandinavian countries. As there is hardly any gap between what B-GHUD promises and what they deliver, students from different parts of India still come to this remote town called Mavelikara for intensive training. Since the student-teacher ratio is one of the best in the industry, B-GHUD ACADEMY could deliver quality in all these years. It is worth mentioning that most of the senior trainers of B-GHUD ACADEMY were trained by the British Council and IDP. The legacy of these 26 years is being endorsed by the number of students who studied here and their results. Today most of our students are either the relatives of our successful candidates or their friends. Happy customers fetch new customers. The OET section of B-GHUD ACADEMY has been producing excellent results since OET was introduced in India 4 years ago. B-GHUD has written three books on OET alone. (OET AT 1ST ATTEMPT, OET SPEAKING MADE EASY & OET WRITING MADE EASY). Regular mock tests, in-depth analysis of grammar, ample opportunities to practise role-plays with our experts and intensive training on the Reading and Writing modules have helped our students score the required band score to settle in their dream destinations. As per the demand for intensive training in Kochi, B-GHUD ACADEMY has opened its branch in Kochi 3 years ago. There also we impart qualified training on IELTS, OET, PTE & German. We start our OFFLINE TRAINING at 9 am and end at 7.30 pm. Our ONLINE TRAINING commences at 7 am and ends at 10 pm. Students can choose either online or offline.

FAQs ABOUT PTE ACADEMIC
B-GHUD is among the top International English Language Testing Systems coaching centres in India. Along with IELTS and TOEFL, B-GHUD provides you with the best PTE online coaching in Kerala. It is no ‘tall tale’ when we assert that, like our other courses, we have been reaping excellent results for PTE as well! For those who are new to PTE Academic, some interesting facts are given hereunder. What is the Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic? PTE is an International English Language Testing System. It is unique in that it is different from IELTS or TOEFL. It accurately assesses the Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing ability of test-takers who wish to have higher education at institutions where English is the principal language of instruction. At the time of admission of applicants to these institutions, they will use the results of PTE Academic to determine the actual English language skills of the applicant. Who has developed PTE Academic? Pearson is the world’s leading education company. They are responsible for the development of PTE Academic. The professionals who have developed PTE are from several nations, including the USA, the UK and Australia. The test items are internationally approved to ensure that the test is a genuine measurement of international academic English. Hence it is a widely accepted system of language testing. How is PTE Academic different from IELTS or TOEFL? IELTS and TOEFL test the language skills (Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing) of the test-takers in a direct way – say, for example, writing an essay, letter, graph analysis for the writing skill and reading some passages and then answering some questions for the Reading skill. However, PTE uses a variety of combined skills to assess a test taker’s skill in English for oral or written communication. This is so because language skills do not usually occur in the isolated or singular forms. Using combined or integrated skills is important because in an academic environment students are often required to combine several language skills to perform a task. A perfect example to make this clearer is speaking on a subject after reading some information about it or listening to some information on the subject. Learn more about PTE Coaching Centre in Kerala What are some examples of integrated (=combined) skills items? PTE Academic test items are task-based. They are from functions and situations that you come across during academic studies in an English speaking environment.
