Before we begin, there is something else you need to know. In the recent post about the difference between the formal and informal writing styles there was a mistake. Although it was caught and fixed almost immediately on the website, the erroneous version was sent to your emails before we could stop it. To clarify, the words children, many and much are formal equivalents of informal kids, a lot of and heaps of. My apologies, if the previous email confused you.And now to the common mistake in the IELTS Writing test. As you may know, there are 2 tasks, Writing Task 1 and Task 2, and in both Academic and General Training modules Task 1 is shorter (150 words) than Task 2 (250 words). Often people decide to write the Task 2 first, before writing Task 1. No problem so far, but we are getting to the really important bit.It is essential that you pay attention to the Answer Sheet and write your answers in the right places. There are 2 marked spaces on the Answer Sheet that you get in the Writing test, one says Task 1 and the other says Task 2. To avoid confusing the examiner who will check your work, you need to make sure that the the essay is written under Task 2 and the report (for Academic) or the letter (for General Training) – under Task 1.If worse comes to worst and youve mixed the two spaces, dont panic. First, finish writing your tasks – wherever youve started to write, dont worry about the wrong spaces, just take care of the contents and the paragraphing as usual. After the Writing test is over you can ask staff at the test center to affix a note to your work explaining where each task is. It will help the examiner locate the right task and your score wont suffer.Good luck with your exam! Practice using the official IELTS writing test paper. This is the same paper that is used in your test. You can download these here:writing-answer-sheet-task1-newwriting-answer-sheet-task2-newReasons to use this paper:GET USED TO USING ITBy practising with this paper before your actual test you will be able to get used to the size of the paper and the size of the lines you have to write your sentences on. This will ensure that you can write clearly and legibly on the paper.ESTIMATE YOUR WORD COUNTTo avoid a penalty you must write 150 words for task one and 250 words for task two. During the test, you dont have time to count the number of words you have written so you want to be able to quickly estimate it. You can do this by working out how many words per line you write and then multiplying this by the number of lines you have written, as follows:total words = words per line x number of lines writtenSee common questions about the writing test: Scroll to Top Useful IELTS writing task 1 tips, answers, lessons & videos for success achieving a high score.
