_________________________________________________________________________From Simon:

Thank you for buying this ebook. By paying for it, you arehelping me to continue developing free IELTS materials forthe website http://. Good luck, I hope you find thesematerials useful.

_________________________________________________________________________Who is this book for?

Many students have no ideas or opinions about IELTS writing topics. Even if your grammar is perfect, you will not get a high IELTS score if you do not know what to write. This book is for students who want to go into the writing exam feeling confident that they have excellent ideas, opinions and vocabulary for as many topics as possible.

How do you get an IELTS score of 7 or higher?

The key to a high score is not grammar, it is not your use of words like “moreover” or “in addition”, and it is not your use of phrases like “this is a controversial issue nowadays”.To get a high score you need to use good ‘topic language’ (words and phrases that are related to the question topic). You need good ideas in order to answer the question well.How should you prepare for IELTS Writing Task 2?

There is an enormous amount of advice on my website http://. Here is a summary of what I suggest:

Spend more time preparing than testing.

When you test yourself, you find out what your level is, but you do not learn anything new. You will not improve if you only write test essays. Before writing an essay, study the topic and prepare your ideas, opinions and vocabulary.

Steal my ideas!

If you only use the vocabulary that you already know, you will not learn anything new, and you will not improve. Practise linking my topic ideas together to write ‘perfect essays’. See the website for examples of how to do this.

Use this book together with the website.

The website http:// contains lessons and videos that show you how to use the ideas from this book. You can speak to me there if you have any questions.
