Struggling to write detailed background statement
I've started an essay but finding it excruciatingly hard to write a detailed background statement (if you're familiar with Ryan's structure, you'll know what I'm talking about) on the following topic: Government investment in the arts, such as music and theatre, is a waste of money. Governments must...

Re: Writing Introductions for Task 2
i strongly favour the ielt-simon approach - a very short intro , one sentence paraphrasing the topic question/description and one sentence giving your answer /opinion. Everything you write should help you answer the question , and a lengthy background para does not do this , and cannot help you get...

Re: Essay on Advertising, target band 8-9
No, I doubt it was Simon's structure that got me a 7. I know I wasn't using good examples in that writing and I could have improved my coherence and cohesion as well. I think Ryan's essays have more cohesion and is easier to write after studying both structures so I just wanted to let you know my o...

Re: Essay on Advertising, target band 8-9
Coincidentally, I used Simon's essay structure on my last IELTS exam too. I was aiming for an 8 but I ended up with a 7 unfortunately. After learning about Ryan's essay structure, I believe his version is better suited for me with my writing style and I feel like his has better cohesion throughout ...

I'm on mobile so can't really provide you detailed feedback but you've got some of your verbs wrong, and you've used indefinite article (a)(a sheer hard work) inappropriately at times

First of all, thanks for the positivity :) Well, I teach IELTS myself at a local institute here in India, and have to write task 2 essay samples at least every other day.
