So today we will tell you How to make an impressive body paragraph in IELTS Essay Writing. Before we start let us discuss what exactly an IELTS essay is?
What is an IELTS Essay?
A piece of writing that represents arguments or views of the writer is known as essay. Essays can be sub-classified as formal and Informal. The essays written for serious purpose like dignity, logical organization and length categorized as formal essay, on these types of essays the writing pattern is much more effective. In IELTS Writing, you need to follow this type of pattern, but most of the students are not aware about it. So because of this unawareness most of the students face difficulty in scoring high score. Students often write impressive introduction but when they move on to the body paragraph they lose the track. The various videos and articles on the internet make the situation more worse as each of them have different views and styles and the students often get confused as they don’t understand which pattern to follow.
Hence, answers of these questions will be given in this article.
1. How to start Body Paragraph in an impressive manner?
Starting an essay is the most important and crucial part and most of the aspirants get confused and waste most time in this part. To come over this situation often students start their Body Paragraph by writing common words like “To begin with”, “To start with” and the list goes on. It is not wrong to start with this words, but variety in sentence formation cannot be added like this. Thus, it is suggested to start in “Gerund” form. Now, the question arises “What is gerund?”
Gerund is a verb which functions as a noun, when it is used at the place of subject. With “ing”
2. After giving your essay an impressive start, another question arises that what should be in the body paragraph. So, answer of this question can be found in the question statement itself. For example, in “Advantages and disadvantages” essay you need to know what is asked in this “advantages and disadvantages” specially you should pay attention, either the question asked is in plural form which means how many pros and cons you have to write. In IELTS Writing the content should be relevant to the question statement but most of the candidates start writing irrelevant of illogical things just to fulfill the word limit criteria. This exercise reduces their score so always try to write a relevant and logical content. Moreover, you should not write down so many ideas together without giving explanation and development of first given idea for organizing BP accurately. After writing main idea, proper clarification should be given.
Starting of Body paragraph 2: – Starting of BP2 totally depends on the question types. If you need to go opposite side of the first paragraph rather than writing “on the other hand”, “on the opposite side”. On the paradoxical side can be used that is good in vocab.
After writing that same pattern of logical development should be used in order to make BP2 pertinent. Give example to reflect your idea in an appropriate manner.
3. Connectivity in both tasks plays a corner stone. However, most of the students do not know the exact usage of it. If they know, they are not aware where to use it. So, here it is a brief description of the connectors.
Additional connectors: – Firstly, Secondly, Thirdly, Moreover, Furthermore, Lastly, Finally.
Causes (How/Why) (These connectors can be used for explanation): – As, Since, For, Because, Because of, Due to, Owing to.
Result (for development): – Thus, Therefore, Hence, Nevertheless, Although.
Illustrating: – To illustrate, To exemplify, To cite an illustration, like, such as.
You should use variety of sentence structures and vocabulary to make your body paragraph impressive and organized.
