Providing a complete, structured guide to IELTS Academic Writing, covering both Task 1 (reports) and Task 2 (essays). Includes the universal 4-paragraph structure for all seven Task 1 visual types, a 7-step method for Task 2 essays, band descriptor breakdowns, model paragraphs, and quick-reference cheat sheets. Built from real one-on-one IELTS tutoring experience. This was basically my personal note that I edited later to make a proper guide out of it.

position maintained throughout the essay (Task 2)? Did you meet the word count?

Coherence and Cohesion (CC)
Is the writing easy to follow? Are paragraphs logically organised? Do linking words
appear naturally, rather than forced in for the sake of it?
