ULTIMATE WRITING SUGGESTION

Let’s be honest: many learners feel lost when it comes to improving their writing. There are tons of suggestions out there. Some say, “Write more.” Others recommend reading books by Pauline Cullen, Simon, or other IELTS experts.

But before you dive into any method, you must first understand one thing: What is IELTS writing? What does it actually expect from you?

Once you clearly grasp the requirements and scoring criteria, here’s the strategy that worked for me, and I genuinely believe it can work for you too: Read. A lot.

Yes, the key to better writing is more reading. That’s how I personally improved, not by blindly writing essays every day, but by soaking in the language through consistent, smart reading.

Why does this work? Because when you read regularly, you naturally absorb:

👀Advanced sentence structures
👀Accurate grammar usage
👀High-level collocations
👀Topic-specific vocabulary
👀Tone and coherence

Reading does for your writing what listening does for your speaking.

When you listen, you pick up natural phrases and structures to use once you speak.

It’s the same with writing, the more quality content you read, the more your brain learns what “good writing” looks like.

So here’s the mindset shift I want you to have:

Read like a writer. Write like a reader.

This means you don’t just read for fun, you read to absorb style, structure, and vocabulary.

And you don’t just write to express, you write to connect and make sense to others.

🛸 Input = Output.

If you don’t read, you won’t have the necessary input. And without input, how can you expect to produce quality output?

Now, when I say "read more," I don't mean forcing yourself to read boring academic texts all the time. Read what excites you. Whether it’s:

✨News about the latest global events
✨An article about your favorite footballer
✨A book on psychology or business
✨A blog post on fashion trends

As long as it’s well-written, you’re learning.

Personally, I read something every day. After El Clasico, I read post-match analysis.

When I got curious about Social Media Marketing or economics, I searched, explored, and read articles on those topics. That’s how I feed my brain.

The internet is packed with content. All you need to do is take action. Open Google, YouTube, or even ChatGPT, and start reading.

Growth takes time. Your writing won’t change overnight. But trust me, with consistent reading, your brain will connect the dots.

You’ll find yourself writing better, clearer, and more naturally, not just for IELTS, but for life.

Let's go. Don't wait for the perfect method. Pick up something to read.

And let that be the first step towards your mastery.

I said what I said.
