How do you know that you have polished a good composition in your IELTS exam? Below I'll show you some key points which can be used to score (your own) essay.

Coming first in these keys is called “task response”. Your understanding about the topic given will be tested here. Take one example “Homework: helping students to study regularly or merely giving more burdens for students?” In this topic, you should explain about homework’s role in helping students to study regularly looses his or her score. Or you could explain only the point of view of homework in giving students’ additional burden losses his or her score as well. If you want to gain a good score, then explaining both sides is a must.

Next, from sentence-to-sentence to one paragraph as to lead logic ideas then completing one good essay, it is a job which you should do to polish your view about the topic of your essay. Putting the right connective to avoid the effect of jumping paragraph, using some words such as “on the other hand, on the contrary, in spite of, and some other contradictory connectives”, is a must item to use to begin a new paragraph.

Then, “lexical resource”, this is all about vocabulary and different types of sentences, simple and complex. You are expected to use words and know their synonyms.

Finally, you have to maintain constant in using the right spelling, punctuation, articles, part of speech, and other things related to grammatical mechanics. This section is called “grammatical range and accuracy"

As written above, the four points have the same weigh in the essay score. Therefore, none of these points is less important compared to others.
