In this podcast you will learn:

  • How to give ‘Every sentence a job to do’.
  • What to include in the introductory sentence, the background sentence AND the outline sentence.
  • How to prove your thesis.
  • When to use supporting paragraphs.
  • How to make your writing cohesive.
  • What to include in the conclusion paragraphs.
  • What defines a good example in the IELTS writing?
  • Do you agree or disagree questions? -Where do you put your opinions?

Ryan also recommended having a look at the official Band descriptors.
