Memorised language in IELTS

What do examiners consider to be "memorised language", and how will your score be affected if you use it?

Words
Individual words will not be considered memorised. However, if you have learnt some "big" words, you should make sure that you can use them in a natural and appropriate way, because incorrect use of words will affect your vocabulary score.

Phrases
It's fine to memorise and use "topic vocabulary" phrases (e.g. the opportunity to engage face-to-face) and short organising phrases (e.g. people have different views about...). However, I recommend that you avoid learning long "any essay" phrases (e.g. ... is a controversial and hotly debated issue in today's world). These "phrases for any essay" are very obvious to the examiner, and you'll probably get a lower score if you use them.

Sentences
Again, "topic vocabulary" is fine, but "any essay" sentences are not. So, if the question is about environmental problems, you can use a full sentence from my blog (e.g. Human activity is a major factor in the rise of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming). Having said that, it isn't easy to memorise full sentences for a wide range of topics, so I advise people to learn shorter "topic" phrases instead.

Paragraphs and full essays
If you write a perfect paragraph or full essay from memory and it fits the question, the examiner will not know and you will not be penalised. However, you would need to memorise hundreds of essays, so I don't recommend that you take this approach! Furthermore, if you write a perfect essay but it doesn't match the question, you will score zero!

My final tip
I recommend that you learn words and phrases (and maybe a few full sentences) for common IELTS topics, as well as some simple words and phrases for linking and organising your ideas. Don't learn lists of "phrases for any essay". @mockTashkent

CORRECT ANSWER:

B

plans to scrap school subjects = want to remove school subjects

"scrap" means get rid of, discard, cancel or abolish

PS. I agree that the idea seems really interesting!

Read the passage and choose the best title from the list below it.

Finland’s education system is considered one of the best in the world. In international ratings, it’s always in the top ten. However, the authorities there aren’t ready to rest on their laurels, and they’ve decided to carry through a real revolution in their school system. Finnish officials want to remove school subjects from the curriculum. There will no longer be any classes in physics, math, literature, history, or geography.

Instead of individual subjects, students will study events and phenomena in an interdisciplinary format. For example, the Second World War will be examined from the perspective of history, geography, and math. And by taking the course ”Working in a Cafe," students will absorb a whole body of knowledge about the English language, economics, and communication skills.

The Finnish education system encourages collective work, which is why the changes will also affect teachers. The school reform will require a great deal of cooperation between teachers of different subjects. Around 70% of teachers in Helsinki have already undertaken preparatory work in line with the new system for presenting information, and, as a result, they’ll get a pay increase. The changes are expected to be complete by 2020.

A) The world's best education system.
B) Finland plans to scrap school subjects.
C) Teachers in Finland welcome education reform.

🔺1. In IELTS Writing, avoid the long introduction and get to your point. One thing examiners really hate is the long essay introduction with never-ending sentences that just go on and on without really making a point. Sometimes it’s just too obvious that the candidate is trying to write 100 words using memorised language.

🔺2. Аnalyse each task properly and spend some time making notes

🔺3. Нighlight or underline key words in the tasks to make sure that you focus on what you have to do

🔺4. Use paragraphs clearly; put one idea in each paragraph

🔺5. Do not copy whole sentences from the question – you will receive no marks for this

🔺6. Manage your time; remember, Task 2 is worth twice as much as Task 1 spend approximately 20 minutes on Task 1 and approximately 40 minutes on Task 2

🔺7. You must write your answers in full; answers written in note form or in bullet points will lose marks

🔺8. pay attention to spelling, grammar and punctuation; you will lose marks for mistakes

🔺9. do not memorise model answers; examiners are trained to recognise them and your test will be invalid

🔺10. Quickly paraphrase the question and then get straight to the point, whether that means giving your opinion what you’re going to cover in the body of the essay. @mockTashkent
