Important Notes

 

  • You should write the Task 2 essay first because it is longer and worth 60% of your writing grade. 
     
  • You should write a minimum of 250 words, but you can write more words as long as they add and expand your ideas. Do not write repetitive ideas or irrelevant ideas.
     
  • You should spend about 40 - 45 minutes on this task. 
     
  • Agree/ Disagree essays usually provide a statement about some issue; then they usually ask to whether you agree or disagree with the statement.
     
  • The question usually states:
    • Statement: The IELTS task 2 essay is very simple to write.  
    • Question: To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement?
  • It is more academic and a better strategy to write ideas for both sides.
