A vocabulary booster, the depth of your vocabulary is essential if you want to achieve a higher score in this section of the IELTS exam.
The key to improving your writing skills is based on building vocabulary.
Memorising words and phrasing can be a gamble as the task requires you to have understanding. One of the questions often raised by students is how to start an essay.

Corrections
All corrections are done in class, so that you can identify with your weaknesses and gradually turn them into strengths.
Improving Writing Skills
To practice on improving your writing skills, we recommend that you become familiar with some of the topics that the IELTS board use.
Work
Family
Events
Entertainment
Hobbies
Travel and transportation
The environment
Culture
Art
Music
There are many others, however the key to learning is to practice with topics that are outside of your comfort zone.
Challenges
One of the challenges that you will find is vocabulary building, so to build vocabulary, you should focus on adjectives that will help you to describe the topics indicated above.
Watching movies on TV can prove useful to help with understanding but keep in mind that exam English can be more formal and focussed on specific vocabulary.
Some people believe that employers value experience more than they value qualifications. Write an essay to express your opinion. Where possible, try and include examples from your own experience.
Qualifications and experience
Firstly, there are many employers who, based on traditional values, will only consider job applicants who are at a degree level or above. So, some employers view a degree-level candidate as a marker. Thus, this so-called milestone demonstrates dedication, commitment, planning and achievement on a professional and personal level.
Experience
However, there is a different school of thought that nothing can replace experience, which contributes towards enhanced business economies of scale and thus more profit.
Most employers would probably like a candidate to have a striking balance between the two. However, this may not be possible and is sector-dependent.
