Hey guys,  :lol:

 If you are preparing to write an essay in an exam for either IELTS or TOEFL in the coming months, here are a few tips to keep in mind.


1. Understand the question task and find all the main points.

2. Think over the question task to brainstorm the outline.

3. The topic sentence must be simple , clear , interesting , and informative.

4. Your opinion or reason must be stated clearly in the topic sentence.

5. Write in paragraphs , each dealing with only one major point.

6. Try to have all the sentences and paragraphs connected with suitable linking words and sequence words.

7. Your opinion must be objective and based on good reasons.

8. Support your opinion with evidences and reasons.

9. Avoid copying or repeating the words or phrases from the question.

10. Make sure you ANSWER the questions and keep to the point!

 Hope that helps guys,  Cheesy
