IELTS WRITING TASK 2: How to structure an argument

You can increase your chances of success on the IELTS by preparing and practising in advance. Today, we will look specifically at the IELTS General Writing Task 2, which involves presenting two sides of an argument and giving your opinion. The main goal is to ensure you don’t scatter your arguments and make vague points. In this lesson, I will teach you how to structure your arguments in a clear manner that you can follow on test day. It consists of writing an introduction, making points, expanding, comparing, building, and concluding. I will give you useful phrases to help you easily present your arguments. If you are nervous about the IELTS Writing Task, this lesson will provide the practice you need to succeed. By the end of the lesson, you will feel very confident that you CAN DO THIS!
