Ni hao Carissa, I will give you some tips as how to prepare and write a good article matching the IELTS requirements. You have to practice writing such articles by choosing a potential topic from the exercises included in your course. You have to increase your general vocabulary, learn common expressions, phrasal verbs and sentence clauses you can use almost when writing any topic. All this will enrich your article . Practice the following steps and apply them when having the exam as well : In spite of being under pressure for time make yourself a plan. - Prepare on a paper some of the key words related to the topic you receive. For example if the topic is about ' Career' ,you could write down : 'Job, Occupation, Salary, raise, rewarding, vacation, challenging, education' - Make an outline of brief questions you can answer in details to present the topic such as : " Why choose? , which school? , how long? , future ?" - Write in an organized way and stay on topic.Divide your writings into paragraphs using the key words and outlines to fill in those paragraphs. - Try to make smooth transitions from a paragraph to the other going from one point to another related consequently or causally or move gradually from minor to major elements of the topic. Just try to make your writing organized according to a certain pattern; so that the reader can follow your ideas without being distracted. - Spell correctly and avoid careless mistakes that could effect your score. - Revise what you have written to add some words or omit any unnecessary off the topic phrases.
