hi guys do you know how we can improve your writing skills immediately in this video I'm gonna share seven ways to do just that and let's not waste any time and dive straight into it a very important decision a very big house a vertically a solution my tip number one is stop saying very this rod is used to frequently even by native speakers but if you avoid it your writing will immediately look stronger and more formal and that's what you need in aisles essays let me show you how you can do it you can solve this problem by using stronger adjectives for example instead of saying a very important decision say a crucial decision a very big house becomes a massive or an enormous house a very clear solution becomes an obvious solution but sometimes you may not know this other stronger word in this case just leave a very out say an important decision a big house a clear solution tip number two do not begin your sentences with varies or a taste the structures are so simple and lacks style so try and avoid them here is the first example there are two possible solutions for the government to choose from you can rephrase the sentence and say the government should choose between two possible solutions here is another example it's important to introduce new policy you can say introducing new policy is important sentences starting with varies or ETS are not incorrect in English but if you want to get a highest score in is writing try not to use them too often the next tip is used strong verbs let me show you some examples and explain what I mean the first example is he went around the world the rope here is went to go we can replace it and say he traveled around the world to travel is a stronger verb because it has more meaning instead of saying to get an offer from a university you can see to receive an offer from a university the meaning is exactly the same but the rub to receive is stronger because it has more meaning than the world to get it also sounds more formal the robes like to go to get are so simple that they make your writing look plain the main verbs to avoid include to be to have to get an T go tip number for ease avoid phrasal verbs I know you've spent ages learning those phrasal verbs that is so common in English the problem lies in the fact that they are rather casual and in IELTS you should stick to a more formal style that's why try and avoid phrasal verbs in your IELTS writing for instance instead of saying give out free items say offer free items instead of make up a new idea say create a new idea the next tip is do not use contractions don't want can't arrow contractions or short forms that are used in informal language in everyday life English speakers use them all the time but in IELTS you should stick to a more formal style and full forms do not cannot will not are you beauty of any of the mistakes I name so far if yes leave me a comment and tell me which one or which ones and let's go to tip number 6 keep it accurate and that many students try to use as many complex words in their essay as possible the problem is it's often done to the detriment of quality basically the harms equality by using words where those shouldn't be used to get banned 7 in lexical resource which wastes 25% of your mark most of your sentences should be error-free announce writing simpler and write is better than more complex and wrong if the next tip is avoid repeating words another way to improve your writing is to avoid repeating words in USA where it's possible it helps to prove that you have a sufficient range of vocabulary I have a separate video about 4 ways to avoid repeating words without learning tons of new words watch it now and if you like this video don't forget to like it or dislike it if you didn't your feedback is really important and thank you so much for watching me today see you soon bye [Music]
