IELTS Writing Course: Lesson 1 - Structure
A good essay needs a good structure and just like in all types of IELTS writing tasks, it's about quality, not just quantity.
Hi everyone! The first lesson of this IELTS writing course will focus on writing task 2 and it involves a similar type of task on both the general and academic exams. The main focal point of the lesson is on structure. A good essay needs a good plan and just like in all types of IELTS writing tasks, it's about quality, not just quantity.
