‫Here is your final video in the Alps writing section of this course, and today I'm going to share with
‫you four super top tips to help you get the highest score possible in your Eilts writing test.
‫So, you know, I've upgraded the microphone and software that I'm using to make these video lessons
‫because I want to make sure you are getting the best quality lessons and learning.
‫Let's move on to top tip number one, which is understanding the question, if you don't properly understand
‫and answer the question, it goes without saying that you will lose a lot of marks, especially in the
‫task achievement section of the band descriptors.
‫Read the question carefully two or three times to make sure that you can give a full well developed
‫answer.
‫One small tip that I can give is to underline key vocabulary in the question here is an example.
‫The line chart below shows the changes in three types of crime over a three year period in a city center.
‫The phrases I've underlined are line chart three types of crime and three year period.
‫These will be crucial to me answering the question, I don't suggest that every single student must
‫underline key vocabulary in the question.
‫Some people find it useful, while others simply prefer to read the question carefully a few times.
‫But you can try and see if it also helps you.
‫Let's move on to top tip number two, which is to check model answers.
‫If you search online for model answers for both Task one and test two, you will find hundreds of excellent
‫examples that you can read or listen to.
‫This will help you understand the full range of questions that you might also get in the writing test.
‫And it will also help you to understand the type of language that students use to give great Eilts answers.
‫Do be careful, as you may also see some examples that aren't so brilliant or well-structured, but
‫if you can identify them, it shows that you have a very good idea about how to answer Eilts writing
‫questions.
‫Here is top tip number three, which is to manage your time.
‫Task one, as you may remember, is 20 minutes and two is 40 minutes.
‫I do very much suggest that you try and stick to this suggested time limit.
‫Can you remember why I gave these two times for your alts writing test?
‫If so, well done.
‫And it's quite simply because Task two is worth double the marks over Task one.
‫Quite often students find that they can't manage their time and therefore don't finish their assignments
‫or reports.
‫The more you practice managing the time, the easier you will find it.
‫Here is top tip number four, which is don't repeat yourself.
‫This applies to both your ideas and vocabulary.
‫To score highly in task achievement, you must be able to report or describe a number of different ideas
‫without repeating your thinking.
‫The same also applies to lexical resource, where you are scored highly on the range of language that
‫you can use.
‫Try not to use the same phrases or pieces of vocabulary more than one or two times.
‫And finally, I have one bonus tip for you as you are enrolled in L7 plus and you have me as your child's
‫teacher, I want you to get the very most that you can from this course.
‫For that reason, I highly suggest using the Q&A feature.
‫If you have any questions that you would like to ask about the Eilts exam, either myself or another
‫student can come and help you with whatever problems that you have.
‫Apart from the Q&A feature, you can also message me directly and I will get back to you as quickly
‫as possible.
‫That's all for our writing section of this course.
‫Next up, we're moving on to AOUT speaking.
‫I'll see you in the next section.
