From Simon:

Thank you for buying this ebook. By paying for it, you are

helping

me to continue developing free IELTS materials for the

website . Good luck, I hope you find these

materials useful.

Who is this book for?

Many

students

have

no

ideas

or

opinions

about

IELTS

writing

topics.

Even

if

your

grammar is perfect, you will not get a high IELTS score if you do not know what to write.

This book is for students who want to go into the writing exam feeling confident that they

have excellent ideas, opinions and vocabulary for as many topics as possible.

How do you get an IELTS score of 7 or higher?

The key to a high score is not grammar, it is not your use of words like

“moreover” or “in

addition

”, and it is not your use of phrases like “this is a controversial issue nowadays”.

To get a high score you need to use good

‘topic language’ (words and phrases tha

t are

related to the question topic). You need good ideas in order to answer the question well.

How should you prepare for IELTS Writing Task 2?

There is an enormous amount of advice on my website . Here is a

summary of what I suggest:

?

Spend more time preparing than testing.

When you test yourself, you find out what your level is, but you do not learn anything new.

You will not improve if you only write test essays. Before writing an essay, study the topic

and prepare your ideas, opinions and vocabulary.

?

Steal my ideas!

If you only use the vocabulary that you already know, you will not learn anything new, and

you will not improve. Practise linking my topic ideas together to write

‘perfect essays’. See

the website for examples of how to do this.

?

Use this book together with the website.

The website contains lessons and videos that show you how to use the

ideas from this book. You can speak to me there if you have any questions.
