The easy way to ielts writing academic Module

Task 2 requirements
In the IELTS test, writing task 2 is scored based on four defined criteria,
where each criterion accounts for 25% of the overall writing band score.
Understanding these band descriptors and following them will lead to a high
band score.
1. 
Task response 
simply means that the question(s) raised in the topic
is/are fully answered, and the writer has a clear position throughout;
main ideas are all relevant, well-developed, extended, and supported

---

through explanations and examples.
2. 
Coherence and cohesion 
refer to fluency (external framework) and
unity (internal framework) in writing. In other words, coherence
(fluency) means opinions and examples are logically progressed and
organized into a sufficient number of paragraphs. For optimum
cohesion (unity), a wide range of linking devices and referencing
words should be flexibly used throughout the essay. These tools help
writers avoid repetition and communicate what they mean clearly and
seamlessly.
3. 
Lexical resources 
or in simple language, “vocabulary” should be used
with their precise meaning. Correct use of “collocations,” “academic
expressions,” “word formation,” and “correct spelling” are the main
features of great academic writings.
4. 
Grammatical range and accuracy 
refer to accurate usage of various
sentence structures (simple, compound, complex, compound-
complex), correct use of tenses, punctuation, spelling, active/passive
voices, and conditionals.
The following pages focus on each criterion, breaking them into smaller
segments for better analysis and excellence in task 2.
