Don't give up!!!! Keep trying.
I was all prepared to give my fourth attempt when I woke up today morning. Fortunately I got through.
My listening scores in last 2 attempts were 7.5 and 7. Finally got an 8.5.
Writing scores were 7.5 and 7. Got 7.5 again
You have done so well in rest of the 3 parts which is commendable.
Few tips which I feel may help (General Training) -
1. For first section, make sure to write 2-3 paras, first para always sounds like..This is to inform you...
Last para - I would be grateful for your help....
Read couple of letters, understand the format and language. Learn how to start and end a para.
2. For second section, again split it into 4 paras.
First para - If you agree with the question or disagree
Second para - Your opinion - Start by saying - In my opinion.....
Third para - Fill in some examples from your life or make it up.
Fourth para - Again repeat what your opinion is. Say stuff like You firmly believe etc.
What I feel is like the IELTS book by British Council does not do justice to how one should write. Go on Youtube.
DON'T GIVE UP, PRACTICE IS THE KEY
Good Luck!
