Re: What is the structure of an essay
Planning your IELTS writing task 2 essay can be hard, so you should figure out some typical structures in advance. Practice writing out an essay plan and get some feedback on your structure. Fortunately, there are only a limited number of question types and you can mostly answer them with a four par...

You're welcome. I think if you can work on some small but noticeable errors, you can raise your score significantly.
Look in particular at your use of uncountable nouns - traffic, workforce, staff. You pluralized each of these.

Re: Please evelaute my writing task 2. I have my exam on 28th Oct and aiming for atleast band 7
There are far too many basic errors (particularly in grammar) for it to attain a band 7. In other respects, it is quite good, such as structure. Perhaps it would get a 6.

Re: Exam Topics for upcoming September exam
I think you mean "recent" rather than "upcoming." "Upcoming" indicates you can predict the future.
Thanks for posting these. I was surprised about the jewelry questions. Very interesting!

There's a problem in your introduction. The second sentence begins with "whilst" which is a subordinating coordinator. This makes the clause the follows it a dependent clause. As it's not joined to any other clause (like an independent clause) it is now a sentence fragment. This is a commo...

Re: Online Study or IELTS books?
It seems to me that there is a wealth of material available free online... but the quality is not always very high. There are many high quality IELTS textbooks out there that are a worthwhile investment.
