    • Our OVERVIEW is critical

    use this technique to arrange the paragraphs: what, why, how,
    example/statistics
    • Lexical Resources (LR) = your ability to use the correct term
    related to the question topics
    • Grammatical Range and Accuracy (GRA) = NEVER EVER write
    simple sentence. Should you write compound and complex
    clauses to secure band 6 or 6,5, or advanced clauses to reach
    band 7.

    • Never go for details, just tell the readers what is significant
    • You are being asked only to report, avoid an assumption!
    • No need to write conclusions
    • Try to always produce complex sentences

    three (discussion)
    • Two minutes in monologue is equal to Task 2 of writing (250 words)
    • In all parts, NEVER EVER only use simple sentences. Remember, you are being
    marked, so please produce compound, complex, and advanced sentences
    • In part two, use the PPF technique to increase your GRA and it is accepted to
    speak out off-topic, BUT DO NOT change the topic
    • Past, Present, Future (what is your sweetest memory when you are a child?)
    When I was a child, my parents took me to the swimming pool.
    Now, I also bring my children to the lake so that they can swim and enjoy nature.
    In the future, I will bring my family to visit the sea and enjoy breathtaking views.
