Stumbling Blocks in IELTS Writing You Must Deal With

by Seek Academy Training Institute

It's not necessary that people who are fluent in spoken English are also the ones whose writing skills are excellent. There must be over a thousand of fluent English speakers in India, but not all of them are proficient in written English. The data and reports shared by IELTS institutes in Delhi clearly indicate that most of the candidates who fail to clear IELTS writing can speak English very well. The reason is, of course, the complexity of writing in English. The act of writing requires a sound knowledge of language's know-how, even those that we generally tend to neglect while speaking.

If your concern is also same, let's tell you some of the common mistakes that you must avoid in IELTS test to score high:

1. When your English is of average level, you must not aim for long and complex sentences. While writing an essay, the experts at Seek Academy recommend candidates to keep the word strength to maximum 270 words.

2. You mustn't use abbreviations and contractions like govt. don't, shouldn't, weren't etc., in the test because the language has to be formal in the test. And, abbreviations and contractions are considered informal in the English language.

3. Limit the use of connecting and filling words like that, and, but, etc. The trainers at Seek Academy, one of the best IELTS coaching centers in Delhi, revealed that the candidates with average writing skills overuse connecting and filling a word that makes their writing poor and that becomes the reason why they fail to score high in IELTS.

4. Maintaining a proper flow in writing is essential for making the reader understand the idea of the essay. You'll get to learn it if you are taking IELTS classes in Delhi. In case you are not, you must learn how to get a seamless flow while writing. Don't jump from one idea to second, second to third, and third to fourth abruptly.

5. State clearly your “for” and “against” arguments in the essay. This is a common mistake that candidates do without even knowing. In the haste of finishing the essay as soon as possible, they mix their statements in the same paragraph without giving readers clarity. So, you must avoid doing this in the exam.

6. Avoid writing in a babyish style. Don't use too short sentences or tooling sentences, get your ideas clear in the mind before penning them down, and structure your write-up first. Also, avoid using primitive verbs like does and gets frequently and too much. This will only make the reader turn away from your write-up.

The above tips will definitely save you from ruining your IELTS writing test and get a high band score. And, because these are simple to follow, you can improve your writing without any hassle.
