Writing Task 2 Brainstorming Tips
- Try to write just one reason with a strong example and specific details for both body paragraphs.
- Only write enough for each paragraph. Writing as many reasons as you can think of is a waste of time, because you only need one or two for each body paragraph.
- When you begin practicing, don’t worry about time. Take as long as you need to come up with good ideas.
- As you get closer to your IELTS Exam, the brainstorm should take no more than 5 minutes.
