I'd like to talk about a cell phone I bought from Alaeddin Shopping Center in Tehran, which I later gave as a gift. The phone was a sleek and modern smartphone, a popular model at the time, with a great camera and fast performance—features I knew the recipient would appreciate.

I gave this gift to my younger brother on his birthday. He had been using an older phone for a while, and it was starting to give him trouble. So, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to upgrade his device and make his daily life a little easier, especially since he's a student and uses his phone for studying and staying connected with friends.

I felt really happy and excited to give him the phone. He’s always been supportive of me, and I wanted to show my appreciation. Seeing his surprised and delighted reaction when he unwrapped it made the moment even more special for me.

I chose this gift because I knew it was something he needed and would use daily. Plus, getting it from Alaeddin Shopping Center, known for its wide variety of electronics, ensured that I could find the best option for him at a reasonable price.

Connectives and cohesive features are essential tools in both writing and speaking that help to create a smooth and logical flow of ideas.

Connectives
Connectives, also known as linking words or transition words, are words or phrases that connect sentences and paragraphs. They signal the relationship between different parts of a text, making it easier for the reader or listener to follow the argument or narrative. Here are some common types of connectives:

Addition: and, also, furthermore, moreover

Contrast: but, however, on the other hand, nevertheless

Cause and Effect: because, therefore, thus, consequently

Sequence: first, next, then, finally
Example: for example, for instance, such as

Cohesive Features
Cohesive features are broader elements that contribute to the overall coherence and unity of a text. They include:

Pronouns: Using pronouns like he, she, it, they to refer back to previously mentioned nouns.

Repetition: Repeating key words or phrases to reinforce ideas.

Synonyms: Using different words with similar meanings to avoid repetition while maintaining the same idea.

Conjunctions: Words like and, but, or, so that join clauses within a sentence.

Ellipsis: Omitting parts of a sentence that are understood from the context.

Both connectives and cohesive features are crucial for making your writing and speaking clear, organized, and easy to understand.

To write clearly and effectively, try being more straightforward and logical, like a computer and less like
Shakespeare. Instead of leaving room for interpretation, make your meaning clear and easy to follow, so that examiners can understand your point without having to guess or fill in the gaps.

How to approach Academic Writing Task 1

In the IELTS Academic Writing test, you will have one hour to complete both of the two set writing tasks. Keep an eye on the time it takes you to complete practice Tasks 1 and 2 to make sure you don’t go too far over, and to use as a benchmark for how long you can expect each task to take you.

In the actual test, you will move from the first to the second task without a break. However, while practising, you may wish to reflect on the outcomes of practice Task 1 using the model answer provided before moving on to practice Task 2. Or you may wish to complete them both before looking at the model answers to give you a more accurate sense of timing.

America's total student debt, at over $1.5trn, is larger than the national borrowing of most countries. It has quintupled in size since 2004, overtaking both borrowing on credit cards and car finance.

Here are some useful features to notice in these sentences:

❤️A statistic is added between two commas using "at."
❤️ A comparison is made using "larger than."
❤️ The pronoun "it" is used to refer back to "America's total student debt."
❤️ "Quintupled" means "increased fivefold."
❤️ "Overtaking" can be used when describing a graph.
❤️ "Both... and..." is used to compare and contrast.

Task Achievement vs. Task Response:

♨️ Task 1: Focuses on Task Achievement – how well you summarize and report the key features of the given data, following the instructions.
♨️ Task 2: Focuses on Task Response – how well you respond to the given question or topic.
A common mistake is treating Task 1 like Task 2, where candidates list all available information instead of summarizing and comparing key points, as required.

Why is it so challenging to achieve the desired score in IELTS?

IELTS is more than just a formal qualification; it serves as a key that can unlock new opportunities. For those who don’t reach their target score, the test becomes a barrier. This is because many government bodies and universities trust IELTS as a reliable measure of English proficiency. A high-level certificate indicates that you possess the necessary English skills to succeed in university or a professional setting. Therefore, it’s crucial that the test is valid, fair, and reliable, and that the practice materials you use share these qualities.

There’s an interesting paradox with IELTS: while it is considered the gold standard of language tests, many people wish it were easier to achieve their desired score. If the test were simpler, it wouldn’t hold the same status or value. Just as easily made gold would lose its worth, if everyone could quickly achieve a band 7, the certificate wouldn’t open the doors it currently does.
