00:00:02,020 --> 00:00:10,870
‫Here is your final video in the Alps writing section of this course, and today I'm going to share with

2
00:00:10,870 --> 00:00:19,360
‫you four super top tips to help you get the highest score possible in your Eilts writing test.

3
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:26,800
‫So, you know, I've upgraded the microphone and software that I'm using to make these video lessons

4
00:00:27,070 --> 00:00:32,540
‫because I want to make sure you are getting the best quality lessons and learning.

5
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:42,610
‫Let's move on to top tip number one, which is understanding the question, if you don't properly understand

6
00:00:42,610 --> 00:00:50,260
‫and answer the question, it goes without saying that you will lose a lot of marks, especially in the

7
00:00:50,260 --> 00:00:53,770
‫task achievement section of the band descriptors.

8
00:00:54,310 --> 00:01:02,980
‫Read the question carefully two or three times to make sure that you can give a full well developed

9
00:01:02,980 --> 00:01:03,550
‫answer.

10
00:01:04,540 --> 00:01:13,720
‫One small tip that I can give is to underline key vocabulary in the question here is an example.

11
00:01:14,590 --> 00:01:22,470
‫The line chart below shows the changes in three types of crime over a three year period in a city center.

12
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:30,550
‫The phrases I've underlined are line chart three types of crime and three year period.

13
00:01:31,610 --> 00:01:40,130
‫These will be crucial to me answering the question, I don't suggest that every single student must

14
00:01:40,130 --> 00:01:42,860
‫underline key vocabulary in the question.

15
00:01:43,340 --> 00:01:50,180
‫Some people find it useful, while others simply prefer to read the question carefully a few times.

16
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,020
‫But you can try and see if it also helps you.

17
00:01:54,500 --> 00:02:00,560
‫Let's move on to top tip number two, which is to check model answers.

18
00:02:01,250 --> 00:02:09,410
‫If you search online for model answers for both Task one and test two, you will find hundreds of excellent

19
00:02:09,410 --> 00:02:12,590
‫examples that you can read or listen to.

20
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:21,740
‫This will help you understand the full range of questions that you might also get in the writing test.

21
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:30,640
‫And it will also help you to understand the type of language that students use to give great Eilts answers.

22
00:02:31,780 --> 00:02:39,160
‫Do be careful, as you may also see some examples that aren't so brilliant or well-structured, but

23
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:46,720
‫if you can identify them, it shows that you have a very good idea about how to answer Eilts writing

24
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:47,420
‫questions.

25
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:52,480
‫Here is top tip number three, which is to manage your time.

26
00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:58,850
‫Task one, as you may remember, is 20 minutes and two is 40 minutes.

27
00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:05,110
‫I do very much suggest that you try and stick to this suggested time limit.

28
00:03:06,010 --> 00:03:11,380
‫Can you remember why I gave these two times for your alts writing test?

29
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:13,330
‫If so, well done.

30
00:03:13,450 --> 00:03:19,540
‫And it's quite simply because Task two is worth double the marks over Task one.

31
00:03:20,410 --> 00:03:27,850
‫Quite often students find that they can't manage their time and therefore don't finish their assignments

32
00:03:27,850 --> 00:03:28,810
‫or reports.

33
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,870
‫The more you practice managing the time, the easier you will find it.

34
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:41,380
‫Here is top tip number four, which is don't repeat yourself.

35
00:03:41,940 --> 00:03:45,990
‫This applies to both your ideas and vocabulary.

36
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:55,980
‫To score highly in task achievement, you must be able to report or describe a number of different ideas

37
00:03:56,190 --> 00:03:58,770
‫without repeating your thinking.

38
00:03:59,070 --> 00:04:06,060
‫The same also applies to lexical resource, where you are scored highly on the range of language that

39
00:04:06,060 --> 00:04:07,220
‫you can use.

40
00:04:07,570 --> 00:04:14,590
‫Try not to use the same phrases or pieces of vocabulary more than one or two times.

41
00:04:15,420 --> 00:04:24,710
‫And finally, I have one bonus tip for you as you are enrolled in L7 plus and you have me as your child's

42
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:30,020
‫teacher, I want you to get the very most that you can from this course.

43
00:04:30,570 --> 00:04:35,010
‫For that reason, I highly suggest using the Q&A feature.

44
00:04:35,010 --> 00:04:42,240
‫If you have any questions that you would like to ask about the Eilts exam, either myself or another

45
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,440
‫student can come and help you with whatever problems that you have.

46
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:55,350
‫Apart from the Q&A feature, you can also message me directly and I will get back to you as quickly

47
00:04:55,350 --> 00:04:56,200
‫as possible.

48
00:04:57,150 --> 00:05:01,380
‫That's all for our writing section of this course.

49
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,130
‫Next up, we're moving on to AOUT speaking.

50
00:05:05,610 --> 00:05:07,260
‫I'll see you in the next section.
