Paragraph building for IELTS Writing Task 2 - converting a plan into a paragraph about staff uniforms

In the video below, I convert the plan from the previous post into a simple paragraph that will not get a high band score.

  1. Brainstorming - here
  2. Writing a simple paragraph that won't get a high band score - this post
  3. Creating a high band score paragraph here
  4. Explaining a high band score paragraph here

 

See if you can write your own paragraph before you see mine.  See the plan here

Try to fix the problems mentioned in the video - you can find the text in the video description.

In the third video I convert this simple paragraph into a high band score one.  See here
