Writing IELTS essays is a huge challenge to many, especially because of the word limit. Understanding how to add examples is an even bigger challenge and can take up a lot of words, cause you to go off-topic, be irrelevant and lose marks on coherence and task achievement.
But there are some simple techniques you can easily adapt to improve your essay writing skills and by learning, practising and using some key phrases during your IELTS preparation work you can quickly master how to add relevant, pertinent and valuable examples in your essays.
In this tutorial, we are going to look at 7 different ways to incorporate examples into your essays. We are going to answer the questions :
