🧠 5-step plan

How to crack it

Open if you want a structure to follow

1
Read the question twice.
Underline every keyword. The instruction word ("agree", "discuss") decides your structure. Get this wrong and you cap at 5.
2
Plan for 5 minutes.
Two body paragraphs. One main idea each. Pick examples BEFORE you write the intro.
3
Write your intro last in your head.
Once you know the conclusion, the intro writes itself. Paraphrase the question, don’t copy it.
4
Aim for 270–290 words.
Less = task incomplete. More = grammar errors. Stay in the pocket.
5
Leave 3 minutes to proofread.
Hunt articles ("a/an/the"), subject-verb agreement, and "make/do" mix-ups. They’re your usual suspects.

⚠️ Examiner watch-outs

What loses you the band

The four traps this question sets

⚠️
Off-topic intro
Paraphrase the question. Don’t broaden it.
⚠️
Conclusion that just repeats
Add one new reason. Or a recommendation.
⚠️
"Make a damage"
Collocation slip. Use "cause damage".
⚠️
"Furthermore. Moreover."
Pick one. Both = robotic.
