You can also complete this task in less time with more concentration. There are some tips and tricks that you can follow in order to attempt this module in an effective and efficient manner.
1. Question should be understood properly: you should understand the question properly. You should read slowly as well as your focus should be on all the words rather than on the full question. Some students score less points in this test because they cannot understand the question properly so do not do this mistake.
2. Plan your answers: you should make a clear structure of your essays and make a plan of it. You should write a proper introduction, body paragraphs as well as conclusion. You should also avoid repetition, which means you need to include a plethora of synonyms in your tasks.
3. Avoid jargons: you should avoid jargons, abbreviations and also the short forms while writing as it can make you lose your points. Don’t forget to avoid slangs as well as the informal language.
4. Remember to take care of the word limit: you should be aware of the fact that the word limit for task 1 is 150 words and task 2 is 250 words. If you write more or less than the word limit then you will surely lose your points. It is obvious that you cannot count the words that you have written as you are provided with limited time, so what you can do is to make an idea that how much space these words occupy in your own handwriting.
5. Basic language: you should write both the tasks in correct basic language as if you will make errors in grammar, or spelling mistakes or if you put wrong punctuation then it may deduct your points. So always be clear with the basic language.
6. Memorization should be avoided: always remember that your answers should carry your own expressions, language as well as understanding. What a number of students do is that they memorize an answer from any social networking site and write as it is in their exam. This could deduct your scores as the examiners are already familiar with such samples of answers. Hence, avoid doing copy and paste.
7. You must do revision: at the end of the test you should be left with sometime to recheck what you have written, this process is called proof reading. Your test is not completed if you do not do revision at the end of the test. While revising, you should focus on grammar, vocabulary, spellings and accuracy of language.
8. Do not get off the track from the topic: You should remember that your opinion should not illustrate any type of regionalism, religionalism or casteism. Generally most of the students do is that they get diverted from the main point. Before starting to write the task you must read the topic then understand it properly and then plan it accordingly.
