One of the best videos on the cannel 👌🏼

[@dazzlingmichael6855]

this is great... it says a lot how examiners grade our essay. In my last Ielts exam, I scored 6.5 only, Just like what he said in this video--- I could say that I have a strong grammar and vocabulary but my position, body paragraph structures is weak and vague as it was my first ever written essay. I have never practiced writing an essay before my exam. I was not able to add conclusion too. What he is saying here are all true.

[@hashanchandrasekarakarasin2598]

Well, a clearly pitched video, except the conclusion. Still trying to adapt to Jay 's way but Mark's way of conclusion is a bit complex; however, he is talking from an examiner's point of view and that could be the reason, people like us stuck at 6.5. I believe you will upload more videos to help us understand writing "conclusions". Thank you very much. "Stay home & Stay safe"

[@poojabhole9153]

hey IELTS test taker, conclusion should reinstate your thesis statement which includes your opinion if asked, the topic sentences of paragraphs should be summed up. you can also give a prediction, suggestion or outcome.

I was thinking that complexity means not to put your key point initially, and go round and round and then with a trick present it. I think thats the reason why I got 5.5 and 6 bands in my 2 writing exams. Now looking forward to work on it, and I will share the results here. Thank you so much to whole E2 team, bless you.

Thank you for valuable lesson... But I have a query, in body paragraph 2, can I write for my opinion?? "I and others who are against the imprisonment believe that.... "

[@SushobhUnnithan]

Q1 - The essay which is shown excluding the conclusion is 321 words ( introduction 60, para 1 - 84, para 2 - 84, para 3 - 91). If I assume another 40 words for conclusion ..we are talking about an essay of 360+ words. This is not practically achievable.( especially written tests). Or am I missing out something here? Q2 - How do we split the word limit in each para in this case? Intro 50, body1 - 70, body2- 70, body 3-70, conclusion- 40? Still, this essay is around 300 words. Could you pls explain the division ? Q3- Is it necessary to have a third opinion to have such an essay structure? Can't I just stick to one of the views ?
