IELTS Writing: 5 Most Common Mistakes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFoWVbgT1Tg. TRANSCRIPT. Hi. Welcome to engVid. I’m Adam. Today’s lesson is an IELTS lesson, so as usual, I’ll be speaking a little bit faster than normal, give you a little bit of listening practice. And today we’re going to look at specifically the essay types, the types of essays you’re going to have to come across for those of you taking the IELTS test in the writing section task two, the independent essay. I’m going to talk about the types of essays, and a very general idea, a very general discussion about how to approach, generally again, the essay. I want to make… Talk about templates, but I’ll do that a little bit later.. So first of all, the main thing to remember, you have essentially three types of essays that you’re going to come across on the IELTS writing test. You’re going to have an essay that asks for an opinion, you’re going to have an essay that does not ask for an opinion, and then you’re going to have a hybrid, you’re going to have a combination of the two. Okay? So first let’s go over the types of questions you might see that ask for an opinion. Now, it’s very important to recognize that not all of you… Sorry, not all of the questions are going to be specifically mentioning the word: “opinion”, or “think”, or “believe”, but you still have to recognize. So: “Do you agree or disagree with whatever has been mentioned before?” or whatever is written there. “Do you agree or disagree?” Take a side. “I agree with this because”, reasons. “I disagree because”, reasons. And similarly: “To what extent do you agree or disagree?” A quick word about “to what extent”, I personally recommend completely, totally, fully agree with whatever you agree with because it’s a much easier essay to write. If you say: “I somewhat agree”, then you have to look at both sides and tell me what you agree with, what you disagree with. If you say: “I completely agree with this idea”, then you only have to focus on that idea. It’s much easier. “Do you think” something, so this is a very direct question about your opinion. “What do you think about this?” or “What do you think are the causes of”, “What do you think are the main issues or problems?”. Now: “Do the benefits outweigh the drawbacks”, or: “Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?” As soon as you see, here, the word: “Do”, it’s a yes/no question, you have to say yes or no, and we’re going to talk about yes/no questions. But this word: “outweigh”… “Are there more drawbacks or are there more benefits?” This is an opinion question. You decide if there are more drawbacks or opinions. “Which is better: This situation or this situation?” Okay? “Is it more important to do this or to do that?” So, again, these are all yes/no… This is a choice question because you have the “better”, you have the comparative. And, again, you have this, plus the yes/no. So as soon as it’s a yes/no question, it’s an opinion question. Make sure that you answer very specifically yes or no, this side or this side, and say why you think so. Support your opinion. And yes/no, if a question begins with: “Should some… Should somebody do something?”, “Should this be done?”, “Do… Do people need to do this?” for example. Excuse me. Any yes/no question is asking for an opinion. Okay? Make sure that you give an opinion, make sure that you support that opinion.. Okay, now, let’s go on to the non-opinion questions. “Discuss”, so they’re going to give you two attitudes, or two views, or two approaches to something. They say: “Discuss both views. Discuss both attitudes.” This is not asking for your opinion. So, one thing, it’s a general rule of thumb, don’t always apply it because some of you don’t like to use the word “I”, but if the question has a “you”, the answer can, and in most cases should, have an “I”. Okay? You don’t have to use the personal pronoun. It’s not wrong to. A lot of people are afraid, they think academic essays shouldn’t use “I”. Totally okay, recommended for a lot of people. If you can’t make your views clear without using the “I”, then use the “I”. Here, don’t use the “I”.

As shown in table 2.2, there is an orderly progression in which infants learn phonemes, word fragments, the names of what they eat, primary and secondary colors, how to tell time, how to distinguish one day of the week from another, and so on.
Between the ages of 3 and 4, children show rapid growth in literacy (as in other domains), as they experiment with writing by forming scribbles, random strings of letters, and letter-like forms.
The practitioner can document children’s responses during reading and writing times, as well as spontaneous instances of prereading and prewriting behaviors and reflect upon whether and how these connect to the language development the child is demonstrating.
Within each unit, the child’s level of autonomy was scored on a 5-point scale in which a score of 5 indicated that the child produced the text unit autonomously (e.g., the child wrote the name of a product in the list, the mother looked at the child’s writing and said “very nice.”
For an older infant who is facing the challenge of constructing a phonological system in her or his native language, native-language distinctions are most important (Werker and Tees, 1984a).
This is crucial because if a text type is only taught once during a year then it is unlikely that the children will truly have internalised the patterns of language and added them to their writing repertoire.
We recommend that children who exhibit these characteristics be taught in guided shared-reading groups (described in Chapter 5) as they continue to learn alphabet letters, develop phonemic awareness, and learn some letter–sound correspondences.

I must say you’re a very good teacher with a clear conception of grammar. Had you been a little slow it would have been easier for the English learners to understand the complications of English grammar. Thank you so much, Adam!!
Thanks for your amazing video. Is this an opinion or a non-opinion or a hybrid type: “what do you think of the positive and negative in the development of Children?”‘, should I discuss both positive and negative, then give my own opinion? Thank you for your time.
thank you for providing us with wonderful and more practical ways of dealing with different types of essays, i completely agree with you that there is no true way of writing the essay, as long as the requirements are fulfilled it could be found the true one. the importance is understanding the question(s), maintaining the reasonable arguments. I follow your lessons online, and compare them with those of different teachers, such as Jay, Chris, Liz, Simon. the only thing i find every time when i watch the lessons of you guys is professionalism in the approaches. practicality and simplicity in styles of transferring the knowledge make us easily digest and follow. Thank you for the wonderful effort and contribution.
First of all, thank you very much for this informative video. Secondly, I don’t understand how I can write a descriptive opinion essay where I don’t have to give my opinion but at the same time I have to give a possible solution to the problem. If I give a solution I’m giving my opinion at the same time and I don’t necessarily have to say “I” to give my opinion. So how am I supposed to give a solution without giving my opinion on that topic?
when it is written:consider possible arguments on both sides and reach your own conclusio, does it mean that i shold discuss two sides &give my own opinion?
Hi, first of all thanks for the great Videos!! I am preparing right now for my ielts test on thwe 10th of August.

The Task was:
The internet allows us to stay connected with each other no matter where we are. On the other hand, it also isolates us and encourages people not to socialise. To what extent do you agree or disagree with these statements?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
That is my Essay:
The rise of the internet and its increased importance in our lives has changed modern societies. But the opinions on the internet differ: While some people think it helps us to stay connected, others believe it prevents people from socializing. In my opinion the internet makes socializing and stay connected with people even easier due to the fact that the internet guarantees us a fast communication across the whole world.
Today almost everybody, especially the younger people, use the Internet more or less daily. While the risk is given that people do not participate on our social life, I still believe that the internet helps us to stay connected. Because of the fast communication threw E-Mails or social media we can talk to people in all places of the world at any time. During my exchange year it was easy to talk to my parents and friends while being on a different continent. In addition, it still makes a connection to my exchange family possible, even though being back at my home. Furthermore, dating apps like Tinder can be the start of a proper relationship and helps single persons to find each other.
On the other hand, video games, especially those which are played online, can cause an addiction. Because of that some people rather stay at home than socialize or get involved in any sport activities. Consequently, sitting in front of the computer the whole day will harm your back and your eyes and prevent you from a healthy way to live.
In conclusion, the internet gives us an opportunity to communicate faster and internationally with friends or family without extra costs. The fact that the internet does not know any borders or shipping costs makes our modern society prosper so that we can stay connected with each other easily.
Hello Adam! Thanks for the video. May I ask a question about the use of organization markers in an opinion essay? Some of my students use ‘firstly’ as in the following example: ‘I think, university students should go abroad for education. Firstly, they can improve their foreign language.’ But is it really correct to use ‘firstly’ this way without nothing preceding this expression to indicate a list of items? First of what? Is the student not supposed to write ‘I think, university students should go abroad for education for some reasons. Firstly,…’ What do you think about this issue?

Hi Adam! Thanks a lot. This video has helped me a lot understand how to express my opinion.
There are two questions about this. 1. Where to express my opinion? Is it in the opening or the body or the convlusion?
2. Sometimes I need to write the reasons for my topic sentence and at other times I need to write benefits or whatever. The question is how to know what I am going to write after my topic sentence?
I’ve heard that there is 5 types of essays. I am really confused now. What about the other essays. If I understood well, the essay depends the question. You can find 2 types of essays in one essay, there is no template. Am I right?
