How to Fix Weak Body Paragraphs in IELTS Writing Task 2
Today's lesson
Your IELTS body paragraph has three relevant ideas, but each gets only one sentence. By the end, the reader knows what you think but has little idea why. In my video, I use a question about whether the advantages of learning a foreign language in primary school outweigh the disadvantages...

Why do IELTS students get stuck at Band 6 or 6.5?
It's not always about studying more. It's about knowing what to focus on.
You collect a lot of advice, but it's hard to turn into focused practice.
You practise a lot, but aren't always sure what's actually going wrong.
You try to improve everything at once, instead of one thing at a time.
You don't get much real feedback on your Speaking or Writing.
You keep repeating the same mistakes, without knowing what to change.

What IELTS TIME students say
I just want to thank you for the great content! I received my results today, and to my surprise, I got a band 7 in writing. Your videos helped me a lot! I was so confused about what to write for Task 1, but after watching the playlists on your channel, I felt relieved. In my exam, I had to describe a line graph about the number of exports from Australia to four other countries. I divided the trends into two groups and used the same strategies you mentioned!

I am here to say thank you! I watched all of your videos and was able to get the score I needed (a minimum of 7.0 in all bands) to apply for poastgrad in the UK. I really appreciate how clear and concise your videos are. You must have put a lot of effort into making all of them. Would you mind if I share your channel with some of my friends in Thailand?
@djfheusd172
Hi IELTS Time, It might be late but I want to say a really really thank you for your videos through this channel. The way you wrapped all videos are amazing and how you share your thinking flow is so impactful. Because of those, I currently hold 7.0 IELTS band scores, and 6.5 for writing score. And this score brings me to the University of Glasgow. Once again, thank you so much. I will tell my surroundings to see this channel and promise to always watch your recent videos. Good luck IELTS time
