Sorry to hear that you did not get your desired score. For writing I wrote an essay & the letter every single day for a month & half (in 45 minutes) I rechecked it for grammar, spelling mistakes etc. Then I count on repetition of words or sentences & try to improve them. Essay structure is the most important factor, (not just the paragraph structure but how to write each paragraph) I learned 13 different type of complex/compound sentences and used them as they fit in the essay. I memorized 50 luxury uncommon words with some linking words to connect my ideas. See below for my essay format.
Intro: 3-4 Sentences (3 preferred)
1.Write simple sentence about the general idea of the topic (not the question),
2. paraphrase the question.
3.Give your answer (optional you can add new clause or start a new sentence) give atleast two supporting idea for your answer.(just ideas no explanation)
Body (2 paragraph preferred) (4-5 sentences)
1. Topic sentence ( write the general idea of your answer as you mentioned in the intro)
2. Give more supportig details for your topic sentence.
3. Give explanation for your idea. ( introduce a new (your 2nd idea) that way you will get points for cohesion & coherence) in your sentence
4 (or 4 & 5) give a good example
conclusion (2 sentences)
Rephrase your answer from intro and give a general idea of the essay. Don’t introduce or add new info/ideas.
Hope this will help
