Writing has two tasks in 60 minutes. Task 2 contributes more to the Writing band, so spend about 40 minutes on the essay and 20 on Task 1. Academic Task 1 describes visuals; General Training Task 1 is a letter with a clear tone.
On DailyEnglishPro, practise Writing inside section packs, then paste essays into Writing Checker for criterion-level feedback. Free plans include limited AI credits; Pro adds a larger pool and Writing samples in the content library.
Charts, graphs, maps, or processes. Lead with a clear overview of the main trends, not a data dump.
Formal, semi-formal, or informal letters. Cover every bullet and match tone to the reader.
State a position early. Keep paragraphs focused and finish with a conclusion that matches the intro.
Answer every part of the question. Unbalanced essays lose Task Response marks even with good grammar.
Spend 3–5 minutes outlining Task 2. A clear thesis beats a longer but wandering essay.
If Task 1 overruns, you risk the heavier task. Practise the 20/40 split until it feels automatic.
After Checker feedback, rewrite once for TR, CC, LR, or GRA. That loop beats ten unreviewed essays.
Build paraphrase chunks for education, environment, work, and technology instead of memorised whole essays.
Writing Checker estimates bands for Task Response / Achievement, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range & Accuracy. Treat scores as practice guidance aligned to public descriptors, not an official IELTS result.
