Getting ideas for an IELTS essay
• Work more on your vocabulary Try to learn new words so that you will be able to take a very good guess or understand the topic.
• Read as many IELTS essays as possible in order to gain more ideas. It means to try to borrow ideas from others.
• Read as many IELTS essay topics, as possible. Why should you do it? Simply because sometimes the topics repeat in the future exams
Important! Don’t try to memorize essays. IELTS examiners are well trained to look for memorized essays and they will disqualify your work on the spot.
