I’m kind of embarrassed to be asking this question here, but yesterday I gave my IELTS exam and did fairly well on Listening and Reading (based on my assumptions I guess I should be scoring a Band score of 8 in these sections). Anyways, what worries me is the writing task#2. I spent most of time on Task#1, with only 25 mins remaining for Task#2. I hurried in to complete it on time, but because I panicked, I used the words in the wrong context.
My task was-
People usually prefer not to raise their kids in the city, but would rather raise them in the countryside.
I wrote well, used appropriate examples, but used the word city instead of countryside and vice versa, due to being in a panic mode and due to rushing into the task. I did realize at the end, but if I was to erase the word city and replace it with countryside, I would have to move other words further too, due to spacing issue (hope I just made sense).
My question to all you seniors is that:
From your experience, how much do you think I would lose due to this stupid negligence considering this has more weightage. Would I score the minimum??
