http://athsdubaienglish.blogspot.com/2012/02/writing-better-introduction.html
Saturday, February 25, 2012. Writing a Better Introduction. When you take the IELTS exam, even though you may have spent 40 minutes slaving over your essay, the examiner may only spend a minute or two reading it before deciding the band. When time is so tight, first impressions count! So in order to help ensure you get the highest mark you can, you need to make the best impression possible, right from the beginning. And in order to do this, you need to write an excellent introduction.

Saturday, February 25, 2012. Adding Style to Your Writing. What is is that separates the band 6 to 7 essay from the band 8 to 9? In a word - STYLE. Style is a hard concept to grasp. What is style? Is it any one thing? Can you point to it? Style in fashion is always changing, but style in writing is not. Style in writing can be learned, and today we are going to practice that.

Sunday, February 26, 2012. Levels of Agreement and Disagreement. Okay, so you are writing your agree/disagree essay, but the question is, by how much do you agree or disagree?
