✅ Providing Solutions to Problems

Essays providing solutions to problems are pieces of wrrting in which you discuss a problem and its causes as well as the expected results or consequences of your suggestions.

An essay providing solutions to problems should consist of:

a) an introduction in which you state the problem and/ or what has caused it;

b) a main body which consists of two or more paragraphs presenting suggestions and their results/ consequences. You should start a new paragraph for each suggestion and its results consequences; and
c) a conclusion in which you summarise your opinion.

5 great ways to improve your band score for IELTS grammar.

1⃣. Use subordinating conjunctions

Join clauses with because, so that, although, while, whereas

2⃣. Use relative clauses

Add information by using relative clauses

So don't write "The cat was sitting on the wall. It was being stroked by a girl." Write:

The cat, which was sitting on the wall, was being stroked by a girl.

3⃣. Use 'there' + 'to be'

This is a simple, yet very underused grammatical structure. It is a very powerful structure because it forces you to change the grammar of the rest of the sentence. It makes you turn verbs into noun phrases and adjective phrases, and it makes you change the word order (the syntax) of your sentence. In other words, "there + to be" makes you widen your grammatical range.

So instead of writing: "A cat was sitting on the wall", you can write:

There was a cat sitting on the wall.

It looks similar, but "sitting on the wall" is now an adjective phrase, not a verb.

Instead of writing: "From 1995 to 2005, sales fluctuated slightly", you can write:

There was a slight fluctuation in sales from 1995 to 2005.

4⃣. Start the sentence with a subordinating conjunction

Instead of "the cat was sitting on the wall because she was tired" write:

Because she was tired, the cat was sitting on the wall.

5⃣. Start the sentence with a prepositional phrase

Common prepositional phrases start with since, at, among, about, throughout, with regards to, in time. For example:

Since the beginning of the afternoon, the cat had been sitting on the wall.

IELTS Writing Task 1: how to write the 'overview'

The overview / summary is a very important part of your task 1 report. Many people have no trouble describing specific details, but they find it difficult to describe the general features of a graph, chart or diagram. So here are my tips on how to write a good overview:

Always try to write two sentences. This forces you to describe two main or general features of the graph, chart or diagram.
Don't put any numbers in your overview. Save specific numbers for the 'details' paragraphs.
If the graph or chart shows a time period (e.g. years), look for the overall change from the beginning to the end of the period (e.g. from the first year to the last year).
Look for overall trends, and ignore individual figures that don't fit the trend. For example, if a graph shows a rising trend overall, you can ignore a specific year when the figures decreased - save that year for your 'details' paragraphs.
If no time period is shown, you can't look for trends. Instead, look for differences and similarities between items.
Don't look for individual 'highest' or 'lowest' figures such as a 'peak' on a line graph. Instead, describe the highest and lowest items overall (e.g. which line on the graph was the highest for the whole or most of the period?).
Start your overview with a simple phrase that clearly shows the examiner that this is your summary paragraph e.g. It is clear that... , It is noticeable that... , Overall we can see that...
If there are two different charts, write one overview sentence about each chart.
If there are more than two charts, they must be connected in some way, so look for two main features overall.
If the task is to describe a diagram or map that compares things, you can mention the main differences and maybe the number of differences and / or similarities between the two diagrams.
If the task is to describe a process diagram, you can mention the total number of stages in the process and say where or how the process begins and ends.
