Gladly. Let me know if you have any specific questions. I improved my Writing score mainly by understanding how IELTS actually marks essays and following the exact structures they expect. The biggest game-changer for me was going through the Writing resources from Western Overseas. For Task 2, this page helped me a lot:
https://western-overseas.com/test-prep-materials/ielts-writing-task-2 It clearly explains essay types, sample structures, and how to plan your arguments quickly. I realized earlier I was writing without any proper framework, but once I followed the recommended formats — intro model, idea development pattern, and conclusion structure — my writing became more organised and easier to score. For Task 1, I stuck to this page: https://western-overseas.com/test-prep-materials/ielts-writing-task-1
It breaks down how to describe charts, trends, comparisons, and maps exactly the way examiners want. I practiced around 15 Task 1 reports using their approach of “overall + key features + clear grouping,” which helped me avoid unnecessary details and stay focused.
The most important thing I learned is that IELTS marking is divided into four sections — Task Response, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammar. If you know what they want in each, aiming for a band 7.5–8 becomes much easier. Western Overseas explains these criteria really well through examples.
The best strategy is to continuously practice using the exact structures shown in these pages. That’s what finally made my writing consistent. Once you lock in the templates, you only need to adapt your ideas to the topic.
