What do IELTS Examiners want?
❓❓❓
IELTS Examiners are looking for a mixture of simple, compound and complex sentences, and also a range of grammatical structures within your sentences. Here's what their assessment criteria say:
▪️Band 5: uses only a limited range of structures; attempts complex sentences but these tend to be less accurare than simple sentences.
▪️Band 6: uses a mix of simple and complex sentence forms; makes some errors in grammar and punctuation but they rarely reduce communication.
▪️Band 7: uses a variety of complex structures; produces frequent error-free sentences
▪️Band 8: uses a wide range of structures; makes only very occasional errors
▪️Band 9: uses a wide range of structures with full flexibility and accuracy; any errors are 'slips' (i.e. forgetfulness, not because of a lack of grammar)
