Welcome to IELTS Writing preparation! To achieve Band 7, you need to demonstrate sophisticated vocabulary and complex grammar structures. This requires using a wide range of words, natural collocations, and varied sentence patterns with high accuracy.
For Band 7 vocabulary, you need a wide range of words including less common items. Focus on natural collocations like significant impact, pose a threat, and gain insight. Use appropriate word formation and maintain formal academic style throughout your writing.
Band 7 grammar requires using a variety of complex structures with good control and accuracy. Mix simple, compound, and complex sentences. Use subordinate clauses, relative pronouns, and conditional structures. Most sentences should be error-free while demonstrating grammatical flexibility.
Avoid common mistakes that prevent Band 7 scores. Don't repeat basic vocabulary or use only simple sentences. Check subject-verb agreement and use appropriate register. Replace basic words with sophisticated alternatives and ensure grammatical accuracy throughout your writing.
To achieve Band 7, follow these practice strategies. First, read academic texts daily to absorb sophisticated vocabulary and structures. Practice writing regularly using complex grammar. Seek feedback from teachers or peers to identify weaknesses. Finally, revise and improve based on feedback. Consistent practice with these methods will help you reach Band 7 proficiency.
