IELTS Writing Guide
Eight original lessons for planning, paragraphs, visual reports, letters and revision. Each includes a worked example, three knowledge checks and a short writing exercise with an answer to study.
Both standalone downloads include all lessons, exercises, an answer key and the worked extensions on introductions, cohesion, paraphrasing, vocabulary and sentence repairs, and timing. The PDF is designed for reading and printing; the HTML version opens offline in a browser. No account or AI allowance is needed.
