IELTS Writing

Write with structure. Improve with feedback.

Writing is where most learners lose half a band. Riverline pairs a task-focused editor with marking against the four official criteria, so every submission tells you something specific.

Some people believe that cities should restrict private car use in central areas. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Restricting private vehicles in city centres is often presented as an environmental measure, but its strongest justification is a practical one: urban space is finite, and cars consume a disproportionate share of it. I largely agree with such restrictions, provided public transport is improved first.

Feedback

Marked the way an examiner marks.

Every submission returns scores on the four assessment criteria with a written note explaining each one.

Task Response7.0
Coherence & Cohesion6.5
Lexical Resource7.0
Grammatical Range6.5

Estimated band 6.5. Your position is consistent, but body paragraph two contains two ideas competing for the same support. Separate them and your Coherence score moves first.

The two tasks

Different tasks, different mistakes.

Task 1 · 150 words, 20 minutes

Academic: describe a chart, table, diagram or process. General Training: write a letter.

  • Select and group the significant data — do not list everything
  • Write an overview sentence; without one your band is capped
  • Match the register to the letter type in General Training
  • Use comparison language rather than sequential description

Task 2 · 250 words, 40 minutes

An argumentative essay. Worth twice as much as Task 1.

  • Spend five minutes planning; it saves ten later
  • One controlling idea per paragraph, supported to a conclusion
  • Answer every part of the question — partial coverage caps Task Response
  • Specific examples beat invented statistics every time

Submit one essay and see the difference.

Your first Task 2 submission is marked free against all four criteria.
