In today’s student consultation, Dana, from Indonesia, gets answers to 3 common questions about IELTS Writing Task 2.
Surely, there is at least one question you can identify with!
How can I record new vocabulary?
How can I make sure to use it in my Task 2 essay?
Plus, my energy is so low from studying for the exam. How can make myself memorize new words, when I’m so tired?!
You should start a new vocabulary notebook.
- Find material that you are interested in: from newspapers, magazine articles, or novels. It must be interesting to engage your mind.
- Write down 2-3 words from the article or chapter in your notebook.
- When you write it down, put it in context. You can copy the sentence from the dictionary, but also write your own sentence with the new word.
Practice using it.
- 4 weeks before the exam, start sitting down 2-3 times a week and write both IELTS essays.
- Don’t worry about time.
- Keep the vocab. notebook in front of you, and make yourself use new words in your writing.
- Then, 2 weeks before the exam, start timing yourself.
- After you finish writing, look at the notebook again. Add high-level words into your essay.

Do I need writing feedback?

However, if you’re not confident in your writing, there are many feedback options available.
The best time to do this is 2 weeks before the exam.
What if I’m not interested in the Task 2 topic? What if I have nothing to say about the question?
Well, that’s not an option.
Prepare now for anything IELTS may throw at you.
