While some of you are stupid, some of you guessed it right.
📦 1st box - clothes
📦 2nd box - toys
📦 3rd box - food
You do this because it makes sense. If you are a rational person(not stupid), you won’t mix food with clothes in the same box.
Writing task 1 is pretty much the same. You need to use a certain logic or principle to divide the information into different boxes - paragraphs.
#usefulSunday
In IELTS writing task 1, you need to organize your response LOGICALLY and use paragraphing skillfully to get 8.0+ in Coherence and cohesion.
But what do those fancy words mean? In the next couple of post, I’ll explain how you can divide information into paragraphs.

The bar chart compares the proportion of men and women aged 18 to 20 participating in different sports in one town. Overall, while men showed higher participation levels in teams sports, the percentage of women was higher in cycling and swimming. The most popular sport for men was football but cycling was most preferred for women. However, hockey had the lowest involvement regardless of the gender of the participants.
Focusing on male-dominated sports first, more than 50% of men played football, a significant contrast to their female counterparts, with 15%. The difference between male and female participation in basketball was also noticeable, with respective figures of 32% and 12%. The least popular activity – hockey – showed about 12% male participation compared to just 4% female.
In contrast, women were more active in the remaining two sports. Cycling had the narrowest gender gap, with 40% of women and 36% of men engaging in this activity. Lastly, while 35% of women opted for swimming, only 20% of men took part in this sport.

There will be a solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 but it won’t be visible from Uzbekistan:)

Explanation:
If you are aiming for a higher score, you should avoid writing paragraphs like this.
The problem is the paragraph is not easily readable because the writer starts each sentence with a cohesive device like ‘on one hand’, ‘firstly’, ‘for example’, ‘apart from this’. This reduces your COHERENCE AND COHESION score to 5-6.
Imagine driving a car on a bumpy road with a lot of potholes . You can reach your destination but the journey won’t be smooth. Reading this paragraph gives the same feeling.
While it is alright to use such linking words, you shouldn’t use them in each sentence. There are much better ways to connect your sentences and ideas. And the way you connect them shouldn’t attract any attention.
I’ll just send the improved version

International tourism has brought enormous benefits to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment.
Do the advantages of international tourism outweigh the disadvantages?
Many countries benefit from international tourism yet it can also cause a number of problems to the locals and environment. While there are several drawbacks to international tourism, they are outweighed by the advantages.
One concern over international tourism is it can lead to overcrowding. When there is an increased influx of tourists to an area, this can create problems such as noise pollution and traffic congestions. These issues can have an impact on the quality of life for local residents. Air pollution is another problem associated with international tourism. This is because the most popular means of transport is planes due to their convenience and speed and this type of transport runs on fossil fuels and emits toxic gases into to the air. This can contribute to climate change.
In my opinion, however, the benefits of global tourism are more significant. One major advantage is that it creates employment opportunities. For example, if a place attracts tourists, there will be a need for service industry, such as hotels and restaurants. This opportunity can allow people to generate regular incomes. Moreover, tourism can lead to cultural exchange. When people learn about each other’s cultural values, this can promote mutual understanding and respect between nations. This can lead to a more harmonious world.
In conclusion, there are several downsides to international tourism, such as its negative impacts on the quality of life for local inhabitants and climate change. However, they are not as significant as the upsides, which include the creation of jobs and exchange of culture.

The table displays the outcomes of a survey regarding the allocation of government funding across various sectors. In general, while a majority of men favored increased funding for education, a larger proportion of women advocated for prioritizing healthcare. Across different age groups, older individuals leaned towards more funding for healthcare, whereas younger participants emphasized allocating more resources to education. However, other areas received relatively fewer votes overall.
Breaking down the survey results by gender, 32% of male respondents expressed the need for increased healthcare spending, notably lower than the 48% among females. Conversely, 55% of men advocated for increased funding for education, compared to 40% of women. The percentages for "other areas" were similar, at 13% and 12% respectively.
Significant variations were observed among younger participants. Twenty-five percent of those aged 18 to 24 believed healthcare needed more funding, rising to 35% among those aged 25 to 35. Forty percent of the 18-24 age group supported increased funding for education, compared to 52% in the next age category. Interestingly, 35% of the youngest age group suggested increased spending on other areas, which sharply dropped to 13% in the next age group.
The survey results among older generations were more diverse. Individuals aged 35-44 and 45-54 had similar opinions, with 48% advocating for increased healthcare spending, 26% for education, and 25% for other areas. Older respondents (55-64 and 65+) were more inclined towards healthcare funding (52% and 72%, respectively), with fewer prioritizing education (18% and 12%). Notably, there was a significant disparity among those aged 55-64 and 65+ who favored other sectors, with figures of 30% and 16%, respectively.

There are several advantages to using the internet for children. One is that the internet provides easy access to information and learning opportunities. Languages and coding can serve as notable examples. The chance to connect with others is another benefit. Children can use apps such as Instagram and Telegram to keep in touch with others and this can improve their social skills.
Note that I used other ways of connecting sentences and ideas such as referencing and substitution.
A very important lesson!
On one hand, there are several advantages to using the internet for children. Firstly, the internet provides easy access to information learning opportunities. For example, children can learn different skills such as languages and coding. Apart from this, children can stay connected with their friends. In other words, they can use apps such as Instagram and Telegram to keep in touch with others. As a result, they can improve their social skills.
What is wrong with this paragraph?

The way children spend their free time has been changed by technology.
Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
Today children spend their leisure time differently due to technology. While there are some benefits to this, they are outweighed by the drawbacks.
One advantage of children using technology in their free time is it provides access to information. When children use the internet, for example, they can learn several skills, which are not typically covered in schools. Coding, languages, and content creation can be notable examples. Improved computer skills can be another benefit. When children actively use computers and the internet, they can learn how to use search engines, fast typing, and working with files. These skills can come in handy in the future.
In my opinion, however, the downsides of using technology are greater. One major disadvantage is it can lead to health problems. Children who frequently use technology such as phones and computers may suffer from eyesight deterioration. Also, these devices can lead to sedentary lifestyle, which may result in overweightness. Addiction to technology is an even bigger problem. If children become addicted to technology, this may distract them from more important tasks, such as doing homework and exercise. This may affect the overall development of children.
In conclusion, there are some positives associated with using technology in children’s free time, such as access to information and change to improve their computer skills. However, these are not as significant as the negatives, which include health-related issues and addiction.

What did you learn from the essay?
These questions will help you get a 7+ in writing task 2:
Task Response: how correctly did I answer the question? How well did I develop my ideas? Did I cover all parts of the task?
Coherence and Cohesion: Did I use paragraphs correctly? How well did I connect my ideas and sentence?
Lexical resource(vocabulary): Did I use the correct words and collocations? Did I avoid spelling errors? Did I avoid strange idioms?
Grammatical Range and Accuracy: Did I use grammar correctly? Did I use different sentence structures(different tenses, modal verbs, passive voice, compound and complex sentences)
I will expand on each of these in different posts
#gamechanger
The essay can get 7.5
I believe it lacks the sophistication required for a higher score.
But Coherence and Cohesion can easily get 8-9. So, learn and copy
