Tips for band 8 essay writing

8. Divide your writing:

Divide your topics into paragraphs. It is confusing to be faced with a block of writing, with no divisions. You wouldn't expect to read a magazine article or book like this.Always divide your writing into paragraphs. You should aim to have three or four paragraphs in your answer. This is not exact. You can write more or fewer paragraphs, as your answer requires. The examiner will not spend very long grading your paper. You need to create an immediate good impression and the best way to do this in my experience is to present a well-structured piece of writing with clearly laid out paragraphs. This way the examiner is going to be on your side. If, however, it looks disorganised, the examiner is not going to be impressed.
