WEBVTT FILE 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.650 foreign 2 00:00:00.650 --> 00:00:02.279 [Music] 3 00:00:02.279 --> 00:00:06.299 do you start your essays with this essay 4 00:00:06.299 --> 00:00:08.400 we'll discuss the merits and the 5 00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:11.039 disadvantages of this topic and include 6 00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:13.920 my opinion and then continue your body 7 00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:17.340 paragraphs with on the one hand and on 8 00:00:17.340 --> 00:00:19.440 the other hand well you're certainly 9 00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:23.880 headed towards a band 5 disaster in this 10 00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:26.640 video I will explain why these templates 11 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.580 don't work on the IELTS exam and exactly 12 00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:32.340 what you need to do to get those high 13 00:00:32.340 --> 00:00:34.739 band scores without learning more 14 00:00:34.739 --> 00:00:37.860 vocabulary or grammar just simply using 15 00:00:37.860 --> 00:00:41.280 what you know in a smarter way let's 16 00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:42.360 begin 17 00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:45.000 the first point you must understand is 18 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.520 that IELTS in fact is created by 19 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.579 Cambridge University and not British 20 00:00:50.579 --> 00:00:53.460 Council or IDP sure you hear these words 21 00:00:53.460 --> 00:00:55.920 and they do the administrative part of 22 00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:58.320 the IELTS exam but in fact it's 23 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.840 Cambridge that creates these task two 24 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.539 writing questions and the necessary 25 00:01:03.539 --> 00:01:06.659 English requirement to get those high 26 00:01:06.659 --> 00:01:09.900 band scores I mean fair enough Cambridge 27 00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:12.959 was established in the 1200s in England 28 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.560 and is one of the oldest universities 29 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.299 arguably they created the English 30 00:01:18.299 --> 00:01:20.880 language and modern literature the way 31 00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:24.119 we see it today so they know what you 32 00:01:24.119 --> 00:01:26.880 need to do to write that perfect essay 33 00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:29.580 and I'm going to show you just that with 34 00:01:29.580 --> 00:01:32.400 a couple of examples and a step-by-step 35 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.119 explanation a great place to start is by 36 00:01:36.119 --> 00:01:38.819 looking at the official task 2 marking 37 00:01:38.819 --> 00:01:41.040 criteria that is publicly available 38 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.380 right away you know notice there are 39 00:01:43.380 --> 00:01:46.619 four columns task response coherence and 40 00:01:46.619 --> 00:01:49.320 cohesion lexical resource grammatical 41 00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:52.680 range and accuracy you can check out all 42 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.020 of the criteria that is required for a 43 00:01:55.020 --> 00:01:58.320 band 0 all the way up to a band 9. but 44 00:01:58.320 --> 00:01:59.640 we're not going to do that right now 45 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:01.439 because as you can see there's just a 46 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.140 lot of small letters and words we want 47 00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:06.840 to focus on what is needed for that top 48 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.200 level band 9 essay to help me explain 49 00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:12.900 this to you even better let's take the 50 00:02:12.900 --> 00:02:16.260 example task 2 question being overweight 51 00:02:16.260 --> 00:02:19.200 has become a major health concern in 52 00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:21.480 many parts of the world explain the 53 00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:24.300 causes for being overweight and provide 54 00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:28.139 Solutions write at least 250 words later 55 00:02:28.139 --> 00:02:30.360 in this video we'll take a look at a 56 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.300 band six and a band 9 correction for 57 00:02:33.300 --> 00:02:36.360 this essay question to understand the 58 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.120 four marking criteria of the IELTS exam 59 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.580 we have to step back one and really 60 00:02:41.580 --> 00:02:44.160 first understand stand Standard English 61 00:02:44.160 --> 00:02:47.940 essay writing practices now this isn't 62 00:02:47.940 --> 00:02:50.760 according to what I said or what that 63 00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:53.160 other guy said in the other video but 64 00:02:53.160 --> 00:02:56.160 it's the actual rules of writing an 65 00:02:56.160 --> 00:02:58.500 essay in the English language that has 66 00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:01.260 been developed over Centuries by 67 00:03:01.260 --> 00:03:04.200 universities like Cambridge 68 00:03:04.200 --> 00:03:06.780 firstly with past two you have to 69 00:03:06.780 --> 00:03:08.879 understand that you are writing a 70 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.760 standard persuasive essay the goal of 71 00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:14.459 this type of essay is to convince the 72 00:03:14.459 --> 00:03:17.400 reader of an idea then you must 73 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.400 understand that such essays have clear 74 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.980 structure with an introductory paragraph 75 00:03:22.980 --> 00:03:26.400 body paragraphs and a conclusion let's 76 00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:28.280 dig even deeper 77 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.680 according to standard essay writing the 78 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:33.959 author can choose to write the essay 79 00:03:33.959 --> 00:03:36.840 with three different voices first person 80 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.140 voice meaning the voice of the author in 81 00:03:40.140 --> 00:03:43.019 my opinion I believe this is using the 82 00:03:43.019 --> 00:03:46.980 pronouns I me my and this is fitting for 83 00:03:46.980 --> 00:03:50.640 some IELTS task 2 essays or the third 84 00:03:50.640 --> 00:03:53.159 person voice where the essay does not 85 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:58.019 use I me my or you yours it simply uses 86 00:03:58.019 --> 00:04:01.860 the objective voice of the author using 87 00:04:01.860 --> 00:04:05.400 words like people and individuals very 88 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:09.060 importantly you must never mix the 89 00:04:09.060 --> 00:04:12.360 voices of the author if you decide to 90 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.079 write a first person voice Essay with I 91 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.320 me my your whole essay must follow 92 00:04:19.320 --> 00:04:22.979 through with this perspective or if you 93 00:04:22.979 --> 00:04:24.839 use the third person voice from 94 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.180 beginning to end you must never use the 95 00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:30.419 pronouns I mean Emi and of course never 96 00:04:30.419 --> 00:04:33.779 ever use the pronoun you this would be 97 00:04:33.779 --> 00:04:36.419 second person voice and it is simply not 98 00:04:36.419 --> 00:04:38.880 used in professional and academic 99 00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:41.339 writing as soon as you start writing you 100 00:04:41.339 --> 00:04:44.160 know this you can see that your Market 101 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:45.779 will go down 102 00:04:45.779 --> 00:04:48.300 now that we understand that we need to 103 00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:51.180 write a persuasive essay in either the 104 00:04:51.180 --> 00:04:54.000 first or the third person voice we can 105 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.940 look at the marking criteria with more 106 00:04:56.940 --> 00:05:00.839 clarity a band 9 task response states 107 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.500 that the author fully addresses the task 108 00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:08.160 and creates a well-developed answer with 109 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.400 accurate and precise ideas this right 110 00:05:11.400 --> 00:05:13.979 away tells you that templates simply 111 00:05:13.979 --> 00:05:16.740 won't work you have to use your own 112 00:05:16.740 --> 00:05:19.620 knowledge and your own language as the 113 00:05:19.620 --> 00:05:23.039 saying goes content is King 114 00:05:23.039 --> 00:05:25.380 does this mean that you have to come up 115 00:05:25.380 --> 00:05:28.199 with some really original ideas and 116 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.440 write an essay using very fancy high 117 00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:34.979 level vocabulary absolutely not in fact 118 00:05:34.979 --> 00:05:37.620 that could be a really bad idea because 119 00:05:37.620 --> 00:05:40.259 it could be quite confusing for the 120 00:05:40.259 --> 00:05:43.259 examiner and will certainly result in 121 00:05:43.259 --> 00:05:46.680 low marks instead use the vocabulary 122 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.740 that you know well that you can spell 123 00:05:49.740 --> 00:05:53.039 easily and use your own style of 124 00:05:53.039 --> 00:05:55.560 communication going back to the question 125 00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:58.860 of being overweight clearly the reason 126 00:05:58.860 --> 00:06:01.919 for this is usually that people simply 127 00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:04.380 do not exercise enough and they eat 128 00:06:04.380 --> 00:06:07.440 unhealthy the solutions a healthier diet 129 00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:10.500 and doing more Sports as long as you 130 00:06:10.500 --> 00:06:13.320 present these ideas with your own words 131 00:06:13.320 --> 00:06:16.800 and focusing on the topic and your 132 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.100 explanations you can get a band nine 133 00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:23.759 looking at the category of coherence and 134 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.880 cohesion for band 9 we can see the 135 00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:29.699 description that the author skillfully 136 00:06:29.699 --> 00:06:33.240 manages paragraphing this means that the 137 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.940 writer you clearly understand the 138 00:06:35.940 --> 00:06:38.220 components of an introductory paragraph 139 00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:41.100 a good introductory paragraph will have 140 00:06:41.100 --> 00:06:44.520 a hook some background information and a 141 00:06:44.520 --> 00:06:47.759 direct thesis this is not my advice this 142 00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.520 is standard English essay writing 143 00:06:50.520 --> 00:06:52.979 practice at the college and university 144 00:06:52.979 --> 00:06:56.160 level it's very important that you learn 145 00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.740 this structure if this is new for you 146 00:06:58.740 --> 00:07:01.979 check out our premium IELTS package and 147 00:07:01.979 --> 00:07:04.259 make sure to go through the writing 148 00:07:04.259 --> 00:07:07.080 course carefully when we look at the 149 00:07:07.080 --> 00:07:09.720 band 9 description for lexical resource 150 00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.840 it starts by stating that the author 151 00:07:12.840 --> 00:07:16.100 uses a wide range of vocabulary 152 00:07:16.100 --> 00:07:19.020 naturally now does this mean that you're 153 00:07:19.020 --> 00:07:21.180 using very complicated good words again 154 00:07:21.180 --> 00:07:24.240 no that's a bad idea especially if 155 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.400 you're making spelling mistakes it 156 00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:28.139 simply means that you're paraphrasing 157 00:07:28.139 --> 00:07:31.319 especially the key words in the essay 158 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:33.780 like instead of saying healthy eating 159 00:07:33.780 --> 00:07:37.020 you can say it's a good diet or lots of 160 00:07:37.020 --> 00:07:39.599 exercise playing sports these aren't 161 00:07:39.599 --> 00:07:41.400 complicated words they're simply 162 00:07:41.400 --> 00:07:43.560 paraphrasing each other to avoid 163 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:47.819 repetition and redundancy again a simple 164 00:07:47.819 --> 00:07:50.759 set of words used wisely can still get 165 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.759 you a very high band score as long as 166 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:56.340 you make sure that your writing is clean 167 00:07:56.340 --> 00:07:59.099 and clear without spelling mistakes and 168 00:07:59.099 --> 00:08:01.919 with good grammar the fourth and final 169 00:08:01.919 --> 00:08:04.380 category of grammatical range and 170 00:08:04.380 --> 00:08:07.620 accuracy states that the author can use 171 00:08:07.620 --> 00:08:11.520 a wide range of structures flexibly and 172 00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:14.160 with accuracy now some people think this 173 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:17.039 means using the passive voice present 174 00:08:17.039 --> 00:08:19.620 perfect past perfect conditionals as 175 00:08:19.620 --> 00:08:22.139 much as possible and just pushing them 176 00:08:22.139 --> 00:08:25.080 into the essay again this will likely 177 00:08:25.080 --> 00:08:28.800 lead to low results especially when used 178 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:31.259 incorrectly you need to keep in mind 179 00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:34.740 that grammar has purpose there is a 180 00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:37.800 reason to use present perfect academic 181 00:08:37.800 --> 00:08:40.559 and professional essays in fact usually 182 00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:44.039 avoid the passive voice because the 183 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.860 reader should know the agent of the 184 00:08:46.860 --> 00:08:49.380 action again if this is unfamiliar 185 00:08:49.380 --> 00:08:52.800 territory I highly recommend using our 186 00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:54.839 premium IELTS course and going through 187 00:08:54.839 --> 00:08:57.480 the writing section of the interactive 188 00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:00.779 course step by step nevertheless for now 189 00:09:00.779 --> 00:09:03.720 just keep in mind that grammar must be 190 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.080 used with purpose let's take a look at a 191 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.500 student's sample band 6sa which I will 192 00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:13.800 correct to a band 9 essay explaining 193 00:09:13.800 --> 00:09:17.279 each of the corrections step by step 194 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.559 first let's read this band 6 195 00:09:19.559 --> 00:09:22.440 introductory paragraph and identify the 196 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.480 mistakes so that we can correct them and 197 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.100 make them a band nine do you want to 198 00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:28.380 challenge yourself pause the video and 199 00:09:28.380 --> 00:09:30.240 see if you can find the mistakes before 200 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.480 I identify them let's begin in the past 201 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:36.300 decades people are more concerned about 202 00:09:36.300 --> 00:09:38.580 having a healthy life and controlling 203 00:09:38.580 --> 00:09:41.399 weight for many reasons although in some 204 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:43.320 regions of the world the numbers of 205 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:45.839 obesity and health problems has a 206 00:09:45.839 --> 00:09:49.080 giganticity increased I think that one 207 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.600 of the major problem is that people are 208 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.240 not having time to eat properly and the 209 00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:56.279 fast foods are an easy option to have a 210 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.040 quick meal another problem could be that 211 00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:01.140 some people do not like to do exercises 212 00:10:01.140 --> 00:10:04.140 to improve their health life for these 213 00:10:04.140 --> 00:10:07.140 two problems I have some suggestions 214 00:10:07.140 --> 00:10:09.480 first we need to remove unnecessary 215 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.839 articles from the essay like the ah as 216 00:10:12.839 --> 00:10:14.820 these make writing wordy and they do 217 00:10:14.820 --> 00:10:17.339 eventually decrease your score then we 218 00:10:17.339 --> 00:10:19.380 need to correct be verb mistakes 219 00:10:19.380 --> 00:10:22.740 students often use incorrect form of the 220 00:10:22.740 --> 00:10:25.860 B verb here it's were instead of are pay 221 00:10:25.860 --> 00:10:28.200 attention to word form like healthy 222 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.559 instead of Health Punctuation is also 223 00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.500 important for band 9 essays do not use 224 00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:37.260 commas excessively here the dependent 225 00:10:37.260 --> 00:10:39.120 clauses although in some regions of the 226 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.519 world the number of obesity and health 227 00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.760 problems has increased comma I think 228 00:10:44.760 --> 00:10:48.899 know your complex grammar also do not 229 00:10:48.899 --> 00:10:52.700 use unnecessary complicated words 230 00:10:52.700 --> 00:10:56.399 incorrectly here giganticity is both 231 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:59.880 wrong and awkward the word to use is 232 00:10:59.880 --> 00:11:02.940 simply greatly pay attention to plurals 233 00:11:02.940 --> 00:11:05.640 instead of problem the major problems 234 00:11:05.640 --> 00:11:08.940 again the B verb must be used correctly 235 00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:11.760 essays must be concise at the band 9 236 00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:13.860 level here the phrase to have a quick 237 00:11:13.860 --> 00:11:16.800 meal is unnecessary in the introduction 238 00:11:16.800 --> 00:11:19.860 high band essays must have a specific 239 00:11:19.860 --> 00:11:22.559 thesis statement instead of simply 240 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.320 stating that for these two problems I 241 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.440 have suggestions for band 9 the author 242 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.260 should State what those suggestions are 243 00:11:31.260 --> 00:11:34.440 to get Corrections on your essays like 244 00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.380 this make sure to use the green Task 1 245 00:11:37.380 --> 00:11:40.078 and task two buttons in your my student 246 00:11:40.078 --> 00:11:43.620 account now let's read the first body 247 00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:47.040 paragraph having a quick meal is always 248 00:11:47.040 --> 00:11:49.380 a good option when you do not have time 249 00:11:49.380 --> 00:11:51.660 to cook at the moment most of the 250 00:11:51.660 --> 00:11:54.540 population especially the ones who have 251 00:11:54.540 --> 00:11:57.000 access to cheaper fast food chains 252 00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:59.519 probably are used to that option when 253 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:01.920 they do not have time to prepare a 254 00:12:01.920 --> 00:12:04.200 proper healthy meal for this a good 255 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:07.019 solution is in their free time people 256 00:12:07.019 --> 00:12:09.720 could cook healthy food and put it small 257 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.640 portions keeping them in the freezer 258 00:12:11.640 --> 00:12:14.399 doing this the people will always have 259 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.820 healthy food storage in their houses 260 00:12:17.820 --> 00:12:20.820 again let's look for those mistakes with 261 00:12:20.820 --> 00:12:24.179 grammar word choice spelling and content 262 00:12:24.179 --> 00:12:26.339 so that we can push this essay from a 263 00:12:26.339 --> 00:12:28.740 band six to a band 9. do you want to 264 00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:30.958 challenge yourself remember to stop the 265 00:12:30.958 --> 00:12:33.360 video and identify as many of these 266 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.640 mistakes as you can ahead of me now 267 00:12:35.640 --> 00:12:38.880 let's start never shift the voice of the 268 00:12:38.880 --> 00:12:41.880 author avoid using you here let's change 269 00:12:41.880 --> 00:12:43.920 this to a third person voice and replace 270 00:12:43.920 --> 00:12:46.980 the you with a person when a person does 271 00:12:46.980 --> 00:12:50.279 not have time to cook in this case the 272 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.260 correct collocation is fast food 273 00:12:52.260 --> 00:12:54.360 restaurants because we're not discussing 274 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:56.279 the entire chain although it's a small 275 00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:59.578 change it is confusing avoid repeating 276 00:12:59.578 --> 00:13:03.059 sentences between your paragraphs here 277 00:13:03.059 --> 00:13:05.820 this sentence seems to be redundant with 278 00:13:05.820 --> 00:13:07.500 the sentence that was already mentioned 279 00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:09.120 in the introduction 280 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:12.179 to get those band aid band 9 high marks 281 00:13:12.179 --> 00:13:14.940 your body paragraphs must go into more 282 00:13:14.940 --> 00:13:17.458 details and explanations and avoid 283 00:13:17.458 --> 00:13:20.339 repeating information that is already in 284 00:13:20.339 --> 00:13:22.500 the introductory paragraph use 285 00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:25.380 affirmative language in your essays 286 00:13:25.380 --> 00:13:28.260 instead of using words like could use 287 00:13:28.260 --> 00:13:31.380 the word can make sure to complete your 288 00:13:31.380 --> 00:13:34.019 ideas keep in mind that the reader does 289 00:13:34.019 --> 00:13:36.120 not know what you know in this case 290 00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.399 keeping them in the freezer for quick 291 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:41.940 preparation later on simply reheat and 292 00:13:41.940 --> 00:13:45.839 serve avoid jumping tents in your essays 293 00:13:45.839 --> 00:13:48.600 practice staying in the present tense 294 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:51.779 avoid using the future participle will 295 00:13:51.779 --> 00:13:55.440 in this way your argument holds true not 296 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:58.019 for the future but for the past present 297 00:13:58.019 --> 00:14:01.339 and the future stay in the present tense 298 00:14:01.339 --> 00:14:04.679 make sure to review after each paragraph 299 00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:07.800 for mistakes like word form here using 300 00:14:07.800 --> 00:14:10.440 the adjective health fee instead of the 301 00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:13.980 noun health for healthy food stored in 302 00:14:13.980 --> 00:14:17.040 their homes let's read the second body 303 00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:19.680 paragraph and identify the mistakes here 304 00:14:19.680 --> 00:14:23.519 again do this before me by pausing the 305 00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.620 video see if you can catch all the 306 00:14:25.620 --> 00:14:27.720 critical mistakes that I will identify 307 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:30.300 in just a moment let's read the other 308 00:14:30.300 --> 00:14:32.820 problem to keep a balance in health food 309 00:14:32.820 --> 00:14:35.399 and loss of weight is by doing some 310 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:38.399 exercises to improve the body not just 311 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.220 to looking good but also to be healthy 312 00:14:41.220 --> 00:14:44.220 working out at the gym is always the 313 00:14:44.220 --> 00:14:46.740 first though to lost weight but people 314 00:14:46.740 --> 00:14:49.199 forget that doing some other activities 315 00:14:49.199 --> 00:14:51.720 could help like biking hiking and doing 316 00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:54.120 exercises Outdoors could help to improve 317 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.339 some of the vitamins that the body needs 318 00:14:56.339 --> 00:14:59.339 especially vitamin D linking these 319 00:14:59.339 --> 00:15:02.880 paragraphs strongly using a second major 320 00:15:02.880 --> 00:15:05.160 problem is much better than simply 321 00:15:05.160 --> 00:15:08.459 stating the other emphasize important 322 00:15:08.459 --> 00:15:10.980 Concepts by choosing the correct 323 00:15:10.980 --> 00:15:13.680 vocabulary make sure to use Simple 324 00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:16.260

--> 00:15:24.019 like exercise instead of exercises 328 00:15:24.019 --> 00:15:28.019 remember to reflect the original topic 329 00:15:28.019 --> 00:15:31.019 of the question here becoming overweight 330 00:15:31.019 --> 00:15:34.500 or being obese in the topic sentence it 331 00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:37.320 is much better to end by stating and 332 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.040 avoid becoming obese after you finish 333 00:15:41.040 --> 00:15:44.160 each paragraph review for silly spelling 334 00:15:44.160 --> 00:15:46.199 mistakes that can quickly drop your 335 00:15:46.199 --> 00:15:49.199

band Six because at times it is 418 00:19:28.260 --> 00:19:30.840 difficult to understand the Transitions 419 00:19:30.840 --> 00:19:33.840 and the information presented lexical 420 00:19:33.840 --> 00:19:36.840 resource is a seven the candidate has 421 00:19:36.840 --> 00:19:40.559 lots of vocabulary although they do need 422 00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:43.619 to improve the accuracy of the word form 423 00:19:43.619 --> 00:19:46.440 and at times the word choice grammatical 424 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:49.500 range and accuracy is a band five this 425 00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:51.480 is where all of those word form and 426 00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.940 punctuation mistakes come into play and 427 00:19:53.940 --> 00:19:55.859 of course these different marking 428 00:19:55.859 --> 00:19:58.500 criteria are interconnected grammatical 429 00:19:58.500 --> 00:20:01.619 range and accuracy has a major impact on 430 00:20:01.619 --> 00:20:04.559 the overall adhesion and coherence of 431 00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:07.380 the essay the important Corrections for 432 00:20:07.380 --> 00:20:09.480 this candidate are the ones that are 433 00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:12.240 repetitive that are made three four five 434 00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.220 or more times throughout the essay 435 00:20:14.220 --> 00:20:17.100 including paying more attention to word 436 00:20:17.100 --> 00:20:19.980 form being more careful with correct use 437 00:20:19.980 --> 00:20:22.440 of plurals and singulars especially when 438 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:25.380 it comes to verbs and finally using 439 00:20:25.380 --> 00:20:28.919 concise and clear language now let's 440 00:20:28.919 --> 00:20:32.100 read the corrected version in past 441 00:20:32.100 --> 00:20:34.679 decades people were more concerned about 442 00:20:34.679 --> 00:20:37.080 having a healthy life and controlling 443 00:20:37.080 --> 00:20:39.359 weight for many reasons although in some 444 00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:41.100 regions of the world the cases of 445 00:20:41.100 --> 00:20:43.380 obesity and health problems have greatly 446 00:20:43.380 --> 00:20:46.080 increased I think that one of the major 447 00:20:46.080 --> 00:20:48.419 problems is that people do not have time 448 00:20:48.419 --> 00:20:51.000 to eat healthily and fast foods are an 449 00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:53.520 easy option another problem is that some 450 00:20:53.520 --> 00:20:56.400 people do not like to do exercise to 451 00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:58.440 improve their physical fitness levels 452 00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:00.840 nevertheless there are solutions to 453 00:21:00.840 --> 00:21:03.240 these two problems having a quick meal 454 00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:05.100 is always a good option when a person 455 00:21:05.100 --> 00:21:07.500 does not have time to cook at the moment 456 00:21:07.500 --> 00:21:09.900 most of the population especially the 457 00:21:09.900 --> 00:21:12.179 ones who have access to cheaper fast 458 00:21:12.179 --> 00:21:14.400 food restaurants get used to that option 459 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:16.859 when they do not have time to prepare a 460 00:21:16.859 --> 00:21:19.440 proper healthy meal for this a good 461 00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:22.320 solution is during free time people can 462 00:21:22.320 --> 00:21:24.720 cook healthy foods and put it in small 463 00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:27.000 portions to keep them in the freezer for 464 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.400 quick preparation later simply reheat 465 00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:32.039 and serve by doing this people always 466 00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:34.380 have healthy food stored in their homes 467 00:21:34.380 --> 00:21:37.500 a second major problem to keeping a 468 00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:40.260 balanced diet and healthy weight is by 469 00:21:40.260 --> 00:21:43.080 doing some exercises to improve physical 470 00:21:43.080 --> 00:21:45.960 fitness not just to look good but also 471 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.539 to be healthy and avoid becoming obese 472 00:21:48.539 --> 00:21:51.359 working out at the gym is always the 473 00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:53.159 first thought to lose weight but people 474 00:21:53.159 --> 00:21:55.200 forget that doing some other activities 475 00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:57.840 could help like biking and Hiking to 476 00:21:57.840 --> 00:22:00.299 improve blood circulation and vitamin D 477 00:22:00.299 --> 00:22:03.299 uptake in conclusion study please show 478 00:22:03.299 --> 00:22:05.880 that the high numbers of obesity are 479 00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:07.980 caused by many people consuming junk 480 00:22:07.980 --> 00:22:10.980 food and not doing proper exercise of 481 00:22:10.980 --> 00:22:13.500 course people do not need to stop eating 482 00:22:13.500 --> 00:22:15.600 fast food but decreased consumption 483 00:22:15.600 --> 00:22:18.359 helps doing some enjoyable exercises 484 00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.240 also helps having a balance of healthy 485 00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.299 food and exercising is not easy but if a 486 00:22:24.299 --> 00:22:26.580 person wants to have a healthy life live 487 00:22:26.580 --> 00:22:29.580 longer and reduce weight they must do
