Introduction The table below outlines some of the common problems students often have when practising for Academic Writing Task 2. Helpful ways to overcome these problems are given. Common Problem Solutions Not enough words When doing practice tests at home, always check the word count. Put a timer on and time how long it takes you to write 250 words. Know what 250 words of your handwriting looks like on paper. Remember: Introduction - 50 words Body Paragraphs - 2 x 75 words OR 3 x 50 words Conclusion - 50 words Running out of time to write a conclusion It is important to conclude your essay. Keep an eye on the time, and if you get to the last five minutes and you feel you have not quite finished, write a short conclusion - one sentence will do! Again, do some practice tests at home using a timer. No paragraphs Some people write a very good essay with interesting ideas and good language, but fail to use paragraphs. A good essay has clear paragraphs, so leave a line between your paragraphs or indent at the beginning of a new paragraph. Off the topic Sometimes it is easy to misunderstand the task and write an essay about a slightly different topic from the one in the task, or start off on the right topic but then write about something different. Analysing the task and planning the essay help you keep your essay on the right topic.
