Features: MARK GRIFFITHS was born in the bustling suburbs of Birmingham, England. After obtaining a degree in International Relations, he first went to Eastern Europe to teach English and came to China four years ago. MARK has served as an IELTS instructor for several training schools and was recently employed by the Continuing Education College of Tsinghua University. He does not like to present himself as a traditional British gentleman and enjoys playing billiards and table football, though his skills are terrible. He likes "Di San Xian" and "interesting" people, dislikes chicken pieces without meat, and people who only complain and talk endlessly. MARK is currently a senior researcher at New Oriental. In this book, he comprehensively explains the exam format and scoring criteria for IELTS writing, enabling students to accurately grasp the IELTS writing exam. Chapters address all the doubts of IELTS test-takers. The chapter on grammar and sentence structure aims to ensure that students understand the English proficiency required for the IELTS exam. As I mentioned earlier, students who struggle with this chapter are not qualified to attend IELTS preparation classes. The next three chapters discuss the writing methods for reports, letters, and essays from the perspective of IELTS test-takers—from reviewing the topic to writing the conclusion. Teachers should encourage students to unleash their potential and think deeply. Task 2 topics give students ample space to write original and personalized essays. Through classroom writing exercises, students can experience the writing process in a controlled environment, while practicing writing at home can help them explore new perspectives and find new vocabulary. Teachers should also encourage students to debate various issues and, before the writing exam, to debate the exam topics. This way, students can test whether their viewpoints and arguments are convincing and strong.
