Do you agree or disagree?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(<strong>In this, you have to choose one side, you must either agree or disagree with the statement<\/strong>.)<br>Or<br>Some people say that electric vehicles are not worth the money.

The difference this question has is here you must give your opinion after discussing both views. Here is an example of an opinion essay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>For example;<br>Some believe online shopping has greatly benefited consumers, while others think it negatively impacts local businesses.

In this type, you have to discuss the positive and negative sides of the point given in the essay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most students take study gaps nowadays.

It could be either a discussion topic or they will ask your opinion. In this kind of essay writing, you should maintain a clear structure to impress an examiner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good structure of the essay will enhance your points and show the examiner your ideas. Try to maintain a proper structure for a different type of essays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure that your essay should include the following basic structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Introduction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Body Paragraph 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Body Paragraph 2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conclusion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first tip on how to start IELTS writing task 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"understand-and-analyse-the-question\"><\/span><strong>Understand And Analyse The Question<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the question is the first step to getting band 6 in the IELTS. Spend some time reading and understanding the question. Sometimes you may not notice some keywords in the question. That\u2019s why you are advised to read the question at least 3-4 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, analyze what type of questions they are asking. Understand whether it is an opinion, discussion, or another type of essay. Analyze the question with your full knowledge. Remember all the relevant information about the essay question. Just answer it what it asks you to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the second tip on how to start IELTS writing task 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"plan-your-answers\"><\/span><strong>Plan Your Answers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to essay writing, planning is very important. I suggest the candidates to spend at least 5-10 minutes planning their answers before starting writing. Because most of the students lose their marks when they don\u2019t plan properly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a good habit, and this gives you the confidence to start writing. You have to plan the structure of the essay, main content, supporting content, and conclusion before you start writing. Try to write down important keywords related to the essay; it will help you if you forget something important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the third tip on how to start IELTS writing task 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"answer-in-your-own-words\"><\/span><strong>Answer In Your Own Words<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t write memorized answers. As the examiner has experience in finding textbook answers. Try to insert your own words in between your answers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The textbook answers will reduce your targeted band score. If you are not confident about your content, then modify the textbook answers according to you. Just don\u2019t copy the same as present in the books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the fourth tip on how to start IELTS writing task 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"make-the-introduction-clear\"><\/span><strong>Make The Introduction Clear<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The introduction is a first impression of your essay writing. This will tell the examiner whether you understand the question or not. Don\u2019t include too much stuff in the introduction part. Keep it simple and clear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the fifth tip on how to start IELTS writing task 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"add-bold-words-to-your-essay\"><\/span><strong>Add Bold Words To Your Essay<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In opinion essays or point-of-view essays, you must include bold words to express your points. Some of the words are,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I agree\u2026,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I disagree that\u2026,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I believe\u2026,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I do not believe\u2026,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In point-of-view essays, you can express your views by saying this,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In my opinion..,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the other hand..,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The main reason is\u2026,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to add these kinds of words in the introduction part, and explain why you agree or disagree with that point in the rest of the essay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you describe it in the introduction, the examiner will have a clear view of your answer and what your answer is about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the sixth tip on how to start IELTS (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/International_English_Language_Testing_System\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">International English Language Testing System<\/a>) writing task 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"avoid-grammar-mistakes\"><\/span><strong>Avoid Grammar Mistakes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grammar plays a vital role in essay writing. The examiner can find grammatical errors easily, as it is easy to spot.
