- Task 2 at 6.5: answer every part of the questionFind every part of a Task 2 question in the main types (opinion, both views, advantages and disadvantages, problem and solution) and choose a plan that answers all of it.
- Task 2 at 6.5: a five-minute planSpend about five of your 40 minutes on a plan: one clear position, two main ideas that support it and notes for each. Practise with opinion, both-views and problem-solution questions.
- Task 2 at 6.5: point, explain, example, resultDevelop each main idea into a full body paragraph in four steps: point, explain, example, result. Compare thin paragraphs with a developed one, then write each step yourself.
- Task 2 at 6.5: cohesion without too many linkersLink ideas with fewer linkers, each used for its meaning, and with reference words such as this, these and such. Then rewrite over-linked sentences yourself.
- Task 2 at 6.5: range, accuracy and a final checkUse a few accurate complex sentences, precise words and natural word partners, avoid the slips that cost marks, and keep three minutes at the end to check your own essay.
