Practice, practice, practice! 

 

My advice would be to practice on essays as much as you can. Your goal is to be able 

to write essay of 250 words in 40 minutes on any given topic. Topic doesn’t matter, 

the important thing is that you know and implement the technique you’ve learned. 

So for those of you, who don’t take chances, follows list of topics similar to those you 

will get in IELTS. Practice with a clock and count words. Enjoy!

positive way, its negative side should not be forgotten. Discuss. 

 

You should write at least 250 words.
