How to analyse IELTS essay questions correctly


Listen Later

Every week I get questions from students asking how they can generate good ideas for essays. Usually, my advice starts from the point of thinking of ideas, but this week I realised that many students are skipping a vital step before that - analysing the question to make sure that their arguments100% address the question given. This is a mistake!

We will show you what he words are that signal these questions and the ramification that has for the ideas that you will brainstorm. After all, if you don't understand the question correctly, there is a high chance you will go in completely the wrong direction and end up with a 6.0 for Task Response.
