Ielts writing Section How To Achieve a target 8 Score (Academic)

“These days, many people live up to their 100’s. An 80-year difference is
stunning. We have basically the same bodies as our ancestors did, so why
do we live four times longer?”
 
Thesis Statement
The third part of your introduction is a key organisational tool for your essay because it
tells the evaluator what to expect. It also directly tells the evaluator what your answer is
in direct relation to the essay question.
Here are some examples:
i.
“Even though I grew up in a small country town, there are several,
rather obvious reasons, that make living in the city so much better. In my

---

opinion, more career opportunities, greater consumer convenience and
better public transportation are three key reasons for this growing trend.”
 
ii.
“In my opinion, better health awareness, increasing medical
advancement and higher levels of personal contentment and satisfaction
are three key factors which justify the increasing age of living.”
Tip:
Your Thesis Statement MUST state your answer to the question.

Unit 2 – How To Write High Scoring Supporting
Paragraphs
What Is The Purpose Of The Supporting Paragraphs?
The purpose of a good supporting/middle paragraph is to provide valuable discussion
or reason to persuade the evaluator that your essay answer is justifiable. Supporting
paragraphs do not need to be complicated but simply provide a worthy explanation for
your introductory statements.
Each supporting paragraph must serve as a specific and independent purpose within the
essay.
