vocabulary
The requirement for vocabulary in writing refers to the vocabulary you can use in writing. This vocabulary doesn't need to be very large. For example, if you write a short composition, there are many words that mean' growth', but you only need to remember two or three words that can be used in the exam.
Never remember words in the order of the word list. This is because words are not mathematical formulas, and the number is too large, so the effect of rote learning will certainly not be very good. Unless you have a good memory, you can only keep using them to remember new words in your writing practice.
Secondly, the choice of vocabulary does not require how profound or uncommon, but it should be just right. This can best be reflected in the collocation of words. Sometimes, although we think the meaning of the words we write is clear, English speakers will find it strange because they usually don't say so.
So you can try to put your collocation on Google to see if it is really used in English articles. If you don't use it this way, the results returned by google give some other options more or less. Then I will remember these authentic collocations and use them in my writing next time.
grammar
For students with a score of 6 or 6.5, very advanced grammar (such as subjunctive mood, inversion or stress sentence) is not needed. But you should be able to write clauses.
It is best to have various types of clauses in the article, but not too many. For example, in an article, you use adverbial clause, object clause, definite article and subject clause once, then your score in grammar (complex sentence) is already very high. In fact, this requirement is not high, as long as there is correct writing training, it is easy to achieve.
The second requirement of grammar is: don't write many sentences with low-level grammatical errors. The so-called low-level grammar means that the sentence composition is unclear and punctuation is wrong. This is not a problem for people with certain English ability. However, it is estimated that most students with IELTS total score below 6 are more or less entangled in this problem.
Connectivity
This is mainly reflected in vocabulary and article content.
A) vocabulary connection:
The main requirement of this item is conjunctions, such as because, although and other words that express logical relations, which are called hypotaxis. English articles are all like this, because English readers rely on these signs to help them read. This is different from Chinese, which pays more attention to parataxis.
This point is also relatively easy to overcome. I believe there is already a lot of information about the use of conjunctions on the Internet. What I want to say here is that you don't have to worry about whether the conjunctions you use are novel or not. The test center is only the accuracy, inaccuracy and diversity of your use. Therefore, there is no need to explore some seemingly advanced conjunctions used in "old" English.
B) Reflect the relevance of the article:
To put it bluntly, your article should have depth. This is a bit difficult for China students. Because what we lack most is the ability to think. And IELTS's big composition just needs candidates to show this ability in the article. Otherwise, the examiner will think that the candidate's article is empty. So I can't reach the meaning of the article. This is especially important for students who want to get a score of 7.
Task completion degree
This is the requirement of seeing the topic clearly and writing articles with different structures for different types of questions. Basically all IELTS questions can be divided into three categories:
The first category, bilateralism, is an argument that balances the pros and cons. So write two main paragraphs, and the two paragraphs should be written evenly.
The second kind, unilateralism, is to write more about the side you support. So you can write two paragraphs on the side of supporting it and one paragraph on the side of not supporting it.
The third category contains two problems. The simplest article of this kind is to answer a question in a main paragraph. So one * * * writes two main paragraphs.
In fact, IELTS articles do not have a particularly fixed structure. These structures are easy for everyone to master and are really feasible in the exam.
Generally speaking, IELTS writing must be clear-headed, and then accumulate common vocabulary in continuous writing practice. I think these two points are very important.
