Important Aspects Of Essay Writing PTE/ IELTS

While writing an essay to qualify the exams like PTE/ IELTS, it is not just the content or the vocabulary that plays a prominent role. There are other factors too that you need to consider. Following are some of the determinants of an effective essay when it comes to language examinations that help you score well. You tend to put in efforts to improve spheres that you are actually aware about. If, for instance, you have no clue that there is a certain proportion of scores given on the basis of the coherence in your essay, you will never make an effort to improve the same. So, while you prepare for the writing module do not forget to cover the following aspects.

1. Format

   

One of the most significant key to scoring a good score is keeping in mind the format.  By this we imply that you need to restrict yourself to the word limit, falling short or exceeding which you are liable to lose marks. It is 200-300 words for PTE and more than 250 words for IELTS.

2. Paragraph formation

   

Many of us tend to appear for the exam without going in for proper formal coaching. As a result we end up writing an essay in the form of a long passage. However, this is not at all a good approach to prepare the same. Essay in itself implies breaking up a long passage into paragraphs. I not more then there needs to be at least 3 paragraphs, constituting, introduction, body and conclusion.

3. Content

   

Relevancy of content is another significant factor. The subject matter that you cover in your essay needs to be related to the question that you have been asked in the form of the essay topic. Misunderstanding the topic or going astray can land you up writing an irrelevant essay.

4. Vocabulary

   

Essay is all about grabbing the attention of the reader by providing him the best to read. By vocabulary we do not intend to say that you need to jot down words that are bombastic but we imply to say that you need to write variety of words. To make it simple to understand, in case the essay topic relates to children, then instead of using the word children time and again, you can go in for using synonymns like kids, tots, lads etcetera. All that you need to do is simply avoid repetition of words.

5. Spellings

   

What many of us do is, go in for writing the words that are not only hard to memorize but also hard to spell with the only intention of covering the vocabulary aspect of the essay. in doing so, we end up making spelling errors. Besides, lack of proof reading can be a major cause for making spelling mistakes. However, we need to keep this in mind that each time we intentionally or unintentionally let the spelling go wrong we tend to lose a good proportion of marks.

6. Grammar

   

Grammar is the root of any language and when it comes to appearing for the language examinations, it becomes even more functional. To appear for these exams, you need not go into the depths of English language. All that you are required to do is, be aware about the tenses as well as the different forms of verbs. This will help you to frame an essay that is grammatically correct.

7. Coherence

   

Yet another aspect of effective essay writing is the coherence. By coherence we mean the organization of the subject matter that you cover in your essay.  The content of your essay need to satisfy a particular structure. It needs to be organized in a way that thread your points one after another in a way that it becomes story like that is interesting for the reader to read and understand.

8. Linguistic range

   

An effective family of articles, describing words and the naming words can help you gain good marks. Instead of saying your words in the simplest of form, isn’t it better to go in for some flowery language? Making use of idioms, proverbs and phrases at appropriate places can act as an icing on the cake.

All in all, these are the important aspects of essay writing PTE/ IELTS. Keeping these in mind will help you prepare an effective essay.
