A Note from the Author:
My name is Julie Hall, and I’ve been teaching IELTS preparatory classes for more than
ten years, both in the USA and in New Zealand. In addition to teaching IELTS classes, I
also teach ESL teachers. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master of Education. I
am an experienced ESL teacher, and I’ve spent a lot of time helping students prepare for
the IELTS examination. I get a lot of personal satisfaction watching my students improve
their scores and achieve success.
I’ve put this book together with materials I’ve used and improved in my classes over the
ten years I’ve been teaching. Many, many students have improved their academic IELTS
writing scores by using the techniques outlined in this book. I’m confident that yours will
be the next success story.
ACHIEVE IELTS ACADEMIC WRITING SUCCESS
provides 16 academic Task One
questions and 16 academic Task Two questions*. Each question is followed by a helpful
explanation about a specific aspect of IELTS writing. And each question is also followed
by an exercise that will help you practice the skills you need to improve your IELTS
writing score. In addition, each question in this book is followed by a complete model
answer; these model answers will show you 1) how to craft an excellent essay, 2) how the
points outlined in the lessons and exercises can be used to improve your IELTS essay
writing skills. 
In Part 3 of the book, I show how IELTS essays are evaluated. I’ve used some of my own
students’ essays to point out some of the strengths and weaknesses of the writing, and
have offered guidance towards improving the essays. I’ve also provided sample answers
to several of these essay questions, so you can compare a lower band essay with an
improved, higher band essay.
* For copyright reasons, the IELTS questions shown in this book are not identical to IELTS copyrighted testing
materials. The questions provided in this book are, however, very similar to authentic IELTS materials, and the sample
essays provided here are specifically designed and written to answer both the similarly-worded authentic IELTS questions
and the questions provided in this book.
