Yes talking about examiners and you’re correct. I don’t expect examiners to be at same energy level towards the end compared to first few essays
IELTS - Writing - For Band 7 or Above.
- Thread starter H0peAndFa1th
- Start date
sounds like we shud go for re-evaluation on writing no matter what if you get > 7 on all other papers.
That means the marker can only allocate around 5 minutes per paper, which should take him around 3 hours and a half to complete. That is extremely limited time to evaluate an entire paper fairly. May be they have been doing for so long, it has become second nature to them..?
Hi @cansha and @H0peAndFa1th
Can you please advise on this essay. Thank you so much.
Some people argue that formal education should start for children as early as possible, while others think that it should not start until 7 years of age. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.
Although it is often believed that children should start their education at an early age, there are some who consider the age of 7 a suitable age for starting primary studies. In my opinion, attending a kindergarten at the age of 3 to 7 can help young students learn basic fundamentals of education effectively.
Learning and understanding skills can be improved when youngsters start their early education at a very young age and I agree. This is owing to the fact that children's brain between 3 to 7 years old, is in the highest point of developing and expanding, which guarantees that any input would be processed, categorized and stored successfully by the brain. Take linguistic abilities, for instance, which are often learned by young children at this age. Therefore, students, who are allowed to attend pre-primary school and learn basic subjects, often do better in their future education.
However, it is sometimes thought that young students are not usually strong enough to face diverse school life obstacles, so it is better for them to start their education at the age of 7. When they face discriminatory behaviors from rebellion pupils or receive punishments from their teachers, children's mental and psychological developments tend to have detrimental impacts. This is because in such situations, they generally feel dishearten and stressed. Hence, in early days, spending adequate time with family can make them strong and prepared for a school life since they can easily learn how to face critical situations from their parent's experiences and advises.
To summarize, despite people having divergent views, I believe that young pupils ought to start their studies as soon as possible because an early development of their mind would make them accustomed to education and will continue to help them in their future. This is definitely more important than difficult situations faced by children at school as misbehaviors and harsh punishments can be eliminated by school authority by taking several strict steps.
Thank You,

Introduction is pretty basic. No glimpse of both sides of the views or your opinion. They are just statements. The introduction may not hurt you but won't be helpful as well.
Now my question is Were you comfortable with the topic when you read it? My guess after reading the essay is No.
Second question .. do you think you have the best BP structure for the essay? Have you seen discuss both sides essay and give your opinion kind?
Let's dive in and see
The essay structure could be better.
The topic is Discuss both views and give your opinion. You are giving your opinion in the very first paragraph. You haven't yet discussed the other opinion. Ideal structure of the essay is
Intro
BP1- View 1
BP2 - View 2
BP3 - Your opinion
Conclusion
Now if your opinion is same as one of the views then write the other view first and then come to the view with which you agree. The paragraph structure is fine but the flow could be better.
Think of some simpler ideas why people may not want children to get "formal education" before certain age. What is "formal education"? What could be the drawbacks? Think a little. Why do schools advertise no homework these days. It has nothing to do with bullying in school or punishment.
I feel reading this essay you were not comfortable with the "other view". This is my take after reading the essay. It can happen. When it happens ... in the future do not force yourself to write a full essay. Rather this is an indication your "idea bank" needs more ideas.
Make sense. I think I need to work on the structure and make an essay simpler, instead of complex.
Thanks @cansha
Hi all
I just got my IELTS result
Overall: 8.0
L 9/ R 7.5 / W 6.5 / S 8.5
The University of Ottawa says the overall score of 7 with no band under 7. Does this make my score unacceptable? Also can they overlook this considering that I scored an 8 overall?

Bro, only the Uni can answer that. Nevertheless, It is a fantastic score. Congrats.
I have analyzed Chris's discuss both sides type essay and I found some strange sentences. He does say put your opinion in the introduction and in each supporting paragraph why you either agree or disagree. I watched a video of Liz as well and she says put your opinion in the intro and also the first supporting paragraph (she was agreeing with the first view) but not to put our opinion in the second supporting paragraph (the one she disagreed with). She said this is the way to answer this type of question as the discussion and opinion must be clear throughout the essay (each paragraph).
Certainly this type of question is very tricky and we must practice a lot. Opinion question type is easy at least from planning and structure point of view.
Question on writing introduction. Is that okay to start the introduction with a news or a past story and then expand? Something like this.
Topic - People are not eating healthy food. what is your opinion?
A few months ago, SouthWest Medical hospital in Vancouver city conducted a survey only to discover half of the population in the city is at the risk of obesity. In my opinion, the main reason for this problem is that people are not eating healthy food.

Are you sure that's exactly the question was? I wrote the Nov 10th exam too in Canada, but my question was slightly different - children's behavior should be strictly controlled or not? or rather should we allow them to do whatever they want?. That's different from yours as you see it doesn't speak anything about age or it's not even about taking decision at all. The topic is entirely different in my mind.
I am wondering how can the question be different for different centers on the same day in same region?
