Publisher's Synopsis
This textbook can be described as a "no-nonsense" textbook for students. All the material in the text contains information that would be highly useful for the student while preparing for the Writing Task 2 section of the IELTS test. Over the years the author has found that teachers often misunderstand what the actual needs of their students are, and they therefore often digress into long discussions and explanations which are not needed to enhance the IELTS Band Score of their students. With this in mind, the author has gone to great lengths to ensure that only material that is crucial was included, and that the language used in this textbook fits the level at which the students - for whom this book is intended - are at present. Many IELTS students are aspiring to attend a tertiary educational institute in the United States of America. The copy editors of this publication were born and bred in America. They went to great lengths to ensure that the text complies with the highest standard of idiomatic American English and using only American English vocabulary as opposed to British English vocab. The IELTS organization is constantly developing new Writing topics. Over and above the fifty topics found in the model essays, this publication contains a list of no less than 277 official IELTS topics. These topics have been collected from actual tests spanning more than a decade and include the most recent topics to be found. This information is crucial in the preparation for the test as they are actual test topics that could appear at any time in future.
