Is there any taboo in IELTS writing?

What are the taboos in IELTS writing? This is a topic worthy of study, because writing is not a difficult single item for China candidates, but it is extremely difficult to get high marks. In addition to the well-known deduction items, there are many small points that candidates may not notice, so now Bian Xiao will take stock of the taboos of IELTS writing for everyone.

First, don't scribble.

Xinsida found that many candidates think that fonts are not important, and they usually write in dragon and phoenix dances. When you arrive at the examination room, the font will be more scribbled and illegible, which will bring difficulties to the examiner. So will a bad font affect the score? I have consulted the IELTS examiner specially, and the answer is: Font will certainly affect the score!

Second, don't argue unilaterally.

In the topic of IELTS composition, there are usually at least two opposites that need to be elaborated and demonstrated separately. If you only talk about one, don't talk about the other, and look at the problem one-sidedly, it will easily lead to writing deviation and structural imbalance, thus losing points.

Third, don't make too many mistakes.

The composition with a score of 6 is a readable article, which can be dominated by simple sentences and supplemented by complex sentences, with few grammatical errors and smooth reading. Many candidates mistakenly think that the article "Niu" is a big word and a long word, so they always pursue uncommon vocabulary and complex sentence patterns, so they often make mistakes in words and grammar. I don't know that in such an article full of mistakes, it is only a "primary school composition" in the eyes of the examiner, and it is difficult to score 6 points.

Fourth, don't be confused.

Some candidates often do not conform to common sense and logic when demonstrating their own views. For example, when demonstrating causality, we don't advance step by step from cause to result, but go wherever we think, thinking jump and lacking logic. Examiners may find it puzzling to read such an article. In fact, when demonstrating, you don't need unfathomable ideas or unconventional views. You just need to expand those arguments reasonably, explain them clearly, and conform to common sense and logic.
