- Academic Task 1: a precise overview, not every numberChoose what matters in a Task 1 chart: an overview that names the main trends without figures, then the key features, grouped and backed by the most telling numbers.
- Task 2: a nuanced position with concession and hedgingMake your Task 2 position clear and careful at once: concede a point, qualify a broad claim and hedge where the evidence is uncertain, without sitting on the fence.
- Collocation: precise word partners for WritingSwap vague words for precise ones and use the word partners that sound natural: a pressing problem, pose a threat, raise awareness, readily available.
- Complex grammar with control: clauses and nominalisationUse relative clauses, mixed and inverted conditionals and nominalisation accurately. Complex sentences only help when they stay correct.
- Self-editing: the slips that hold a good essay backUse the last minutes well: check articles, agreement, word forms, comma splices and a vague ‘this’, the small slips that can keep a strong essay from a higher band.
