IELTS Writing Workbook is a 5-part book that helps IELTS candidates practice the language points that matter in the writing section of the test. The author uses the teacher - student interactive style to walk the reader step-by-step through the entire writing test. Conscious of the fact that the target readers of the book are users of English as a second language, the author uses simplified English to explain the various components of writing in Task 1 and 2 for both General Training IELTS and Academic Training IELTS. Part one focuses on a general overview of the Writing test, grading criteria and things candidates should note as they prepare for the test. Part two focuses on General Training IELTS Task 1 Writing. Part three is about Academic Training IELTS Task 1 Writing. Part four focuses on Task 2 Writing. Part five is full of useful tips candidates can use to boost their writing skills. There is much emphasis on vocabulary in the book with lists of carefully chosen words, phrases and sentences provided for readers to practice writing with. In the same light, the author provides lots of exercises for readers to practice on their own, with a partner or in group study, like in a classroom setting. The candidate using this book is therefore advised not to study and practice alone. This book is best for candidates who still have many months of preparation time before the actual test. It is not a last minute solution or magic wand to getting high scores in the writing test. Teachers or private tutors using the book to prepare candidates for the test will find the material in the book perfect for lesson planning, classroom activity and homework. Happy writing!
