This book overcomes the weakness of other guides by providing 40 high quality essays (10 Academic Task 1, 10 General Task 1 and 20 Task 2 essays) that are written by an educated native speaker. Typically when IELTS students are shown these essays they are surprised by the directness and simplicity of the language. The essays provided are all of IELTS band 9 standard; however, the intention is not necessarily to allow students to reach that standard but to provide a pathway to write better quality essays that are of an academic standard and style. An important part of each essay is the accompanying notes that explain the choices made by the writer.
It is also intended that this book, although directed at IELTS students, has a focus beyond the IELTS exam and provides students with writing skills that can also be used in study and in the workplace. This 2nd edition has corrected some typographical errors that appeared in the 1st edition and improved the page layout for ease of legibility on the Kindle.
