None of the sentences in this paragraph are particularly long for short Another way in which free public transport could improve our quality of life relates to congestion Currently, the trend is for increasing numbers of people to choose to drive to work This means that in many cases the rush hour is several hours long and it is sometimes almost impossible to travel across a city.It is probable that this level of congestion would be reduced by making public transport free The first sentence is shorter because it is the opening sentence of the para and it also includes the complex “in which” construction The second sentence is shortish again because it is merely stating a fact – no need to make it more complex The third sentence is a longer sentence, but it is simply linked using “and” The final sentence is again relatively short/simple sentence but it does contain a conditional “would” and a “by” structure Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS

intended to be a list of advanced grammar points that will guarantee you a high band score.() Rather, the idea here is to show you grammar connects to meaning You should never just use a structure because it is “good” grammar Instead, you need to ask yourself what is the best way I can express this point The best writers use these structures when they need to, not because they think they have to (Những người viết luận giỏi nên sử dụng cấu trúc sau họ thấy cần thiết họ nghĩ họ bắt buộc phải dùng) (Mình ngại dịch đoạn lắm, tin bạn hiểu tốt ^^) the passive I start with the passive because it is so often misused It is not the case that the passive is an academic structure that should be used in essays We use it all the time in all sorts of contexts Here, though, is one way you might find it helpful in writing: to avoid repeating words – especially nouns/pronouns You may want to avoid using some words too much – especially words from the question Here the passive can help you In a question about government action, rather than writing: The government should introduce measures to Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com Page 25 Tổng

of grammar you need to feel comfortable with and can help you You should be careful, however, not to overuse relatives as they can make your writing both confusing and confused One tip I would give you here is to try and restrict yourself to one relative per sentence and to try and avoid them in already complex sentences Look at this example: There is a real danger that allowing people to travel for free would deprive transport authorities funds which they need and lead to a lower standard of service The relative can be avoided by changing it into an adjective phrase: There is a real danger that allowing people to travel for free would deprive transport authorities of much needed funds and lead to a lower standard of service When you use relatives though is to define terms and add detail Here is an example in action: More than that, if the authorities plan carefully, they can use the occasion of the sporting event to help finance public works which benefit the whole population in the long term Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com Page 26 Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com I want to say what sort of “public works” I am referring to so I define them in the relative which benefit the whole population in the long term Conditionals Here is another piece of grammar that can help you out Provided that is, you see how and when to use it One of the best ways to use these conditionals to explain and give examples This means they are likely to come in the body of your paragraphs and not the introduction/opening sentence Try this example: There is also, however, a strong argument not to implement this proposal This argument is based on economic competitiveness If a company was forced to employ more workers to produce the same amount of goods, then its wage bill would rise and its products might become more expensive and less competitive compared to companies with longer working weeks In this case, it is possible that the company either might become insolvent or it would have to make some employees redundant As a result, the intended benefit to the personnel would not happen This time around I have given you the whole para so that you can see the context I use a conditional because I am explaining a point You should also see that we use “might” and “would” in the following sentences even though there is no “if” Do you want to show off? Then you might consider using conditionals that not use if So you could use: Were a company to be forced… Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com Page 27 Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com Parallel structures There are a number of different parallel structures we have in English They come in useful when we are combining, comparing or contrasting points – again something that you are likely to in your essays This is a useful piece of grammar to focus on, as when used well they make your writing more cohesive For example Not only would unemployment be reduced, but the working conditions of employees on very long shifts would also be significantly improved You may think “not only but also” is too easy to impress Don’t Simple things done well impress too and this sentence is complex enough as it is Verb tenses (of course), impersonal structures and modals The point to remember here is that it is not difficulty of grammar that is important, rather it is variety of grammar This means that some bits of grammar that you think are rather simple (e.g tenses) are still important The point I want to make here is that the one tense you are going use most is the present simple Checking my essays, I find that easily the most common tense I use is the present simple That’s how it should be – it is easily the most common tense in English You want some variety though, and here is how I get it I use a lot of impersonal structures” There are several reasons why and I also use a large number of modal verbs: It can also be argued that Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com Page 28 Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com The point here is that I use them to make impersonal points or sound academic They too have their meanings and uses And and but Never be afraid of keeping it simple I My essays work You will also find that I almost never use “moreover” and “furthermore” More to the point, neither band 8.0 candidates typically When all you want to is add a point say “and” and if you want to make a contrast, you are most likely to use “but” or “however,” Test your own writing The best advice is of course always to find yourself a teacher, but if you are working by yourself, here is something you can Find an essay you have written and go through it: Do you use different grammatical structures? (You should have at least some of the ones I have mentioned) Can you see why you have used any of the more complex structures? How long is your average sentence? (around 15 words is about right I would suggest) Do your paragraphs combine longer and shorter sentences and simpler and more complex sentences? Do you use “and” and “but”?

We live in a world where health and safety is more and more important One of the signs of this is the demand that dangerous sports should be banned While I understand that argument, my view is that people should be free to whatever sports they want The biggest reason for objecting to extreme sports is that they can be very dangerous and can sometimes kill people More than that, it is not just the sportspeople who are in danger, but spectators too can be badly injured If, for example, a Formula car crashes, the driver may be hurt and it is possible that people in the crowd will be too Because of this danger, it is understandable why people want the government to ban these sports The opposite argument is that people should be free to whatever risk they want So, if someone wants to jump out of a plane, then they should be allowed to and the Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com Page 30 Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com government cannot say what they should Many dangerous sports are also not very risky and it is as dangerous doing everyday activities such as crossing the road or cooking a meal as bungee jumping I think that the government should regulate dangerous sports, but it should not ban them It should also make certain that there is as little danger as possible because safety is the most important thing This is most important for young children Seeing the problems – repetition One of the most common problems is you can get “stuck” on certain words This frequently happens with words in the question itself To some extent this is unavoidable and you will see my improved version retains quite a lot of repetition – there is simply less of it We live in a world where health and safety is more and more important One of the signs of this people want the government to ban dangerous sports While I understand that argument, my view is that people should be free to whatever sports they want We live in a world where health and safety is an ever greater priority One of the signs of this is the demand thatdangerous sports should be banned While I understand that argument, my view is that, within certain limits, people should retain the freedom to participate in whatever sports they choose The biggest reason for objecting to dangerous sports is that they can be very dangerous and can sometimes kill people More than that, it is not just the sportspeople who are in danger, but spectators too can be badly hurt If, for Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com Page 31 Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com example, a Formula car crashes, the driver may be hurt and it is possible that people in the crowd will be too Because of this danger, it is understandable why people want the government to ban these sports The principal reason for objecting to extreme sports is of course that they can be highly dangerous and sometimes life-threatening More than that, it is not just the participants who are at risk, but spectators too can be seriously injured If, for example, a Formula car crashes, the driver may not escape unharmed and there is also a chance that a bouncing tyre or debris will fly into the crowd Given this level of danger, it is understandable why people call for the authorities to take action The opposite argument is that people should be free to whatever risk they want So, if someone wants to jump out of a plane, then they should be allowed to and the government cannot say what they should Many dangerous sportsare also not very risky and it is as dangerous doing everyday activities such as crossing the road or cooking a meal as bungee jumping The counter argument is that people should be allowed to assume whatever risk they choose So, if someone wishes to freefall from a plane at 30,000 feet, then they should be free to so and it should be accepted that it is not the place of the government to dictate how they lead their lives A further point is that in statistical terms there is a low probability of injury in many so-called dangerous sports and people are at greater risk carrying out everyday activities such as crossing the road or cooking a meal as bungee jumping I think that that the government should regulate dangerous sports, but it should not ban them It should also make certain that there is as little danger as possible Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com Page 32 Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com because safety is the most important thing This is most important for young children who cannot make their own decisions My personal view is that while the government and other authorities need to regulate dangerous sports, it would be preferable not to impose a ban on them entirely I would suggest that safeguards need to be established so that any risk is minimised What these safeguards are will vary from sport to sport, but safety has to be paramount, especially where minors are involved Tip – think of vocabulary before you start writing The idea is quite simple If you think of the words you want to use before you write, then you can use them On the other hand, if you start writing too quickly, then it becomes much harder to try and vary your vocab Tip – repetition should be on everyone’s editing checklist One of my top tips is that everyone should have a mental checklist of the type of errors they look for when they check their work – “I’m going to look for any mistake” doesn’t really work The point here is that even the best writers can subconsciously get stuck on words and keep on repeating them if they are not careful Tip – if you can’t find another word, repeat it in a different form Sometimes there is only one correct word In this case, the best advice is not to find another word that may well be wrong, but to change the word slightly This can mean using the noun form and not the verb form (ban becomes impose a ban on) or to qualify it with another word so ban becomes ban entirely Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com Page 33 Tổng hợp: fanpage https://www.facebook.com/luyenvietIELTS Onluyenthi.IELTS@gmail.com Seeing the problems – avoid language that is too simple In general, I am a fan of the simple There are times, however, when you want to upgrade your English, in particular  avoiding words like “big” that are not normally used in more formal written English  avoiding words like “do” unless they are part of a set phrase – there is almost always a better variation  finding variations for words such as “very” to show your range  thinking about collocations (phrases) We live in a world where health and safety is more and more

established so that any risk is minimised What these safeguards are will vary from sport to sport, but safety has to be paramount, especially where minors are involved Tip – when you learn vocabulary, learn phrases and not just words Part of solution to this problem is to learn phrases For example, you are much more likely to be able to use “participate”, if you have first learnt the phrase “participate in a sport” Finding solutions – think examples for precise language This is one of my favourite suggestions The idea is that if you learn to use examples well, you get to use language that is precise and sometimes relatively simple Take a look at this revised versions of the examples the revisions may seem quite small, but I get to use precise language – a good thing The counter argument is that people should be allowed to assume whatever risk they choose So, if someone wishes to freefall from a plane at 30,000 feet, then they should be free to so and it should be accepted

not escape unharmed and there is also a chance that a bouncing tyre or debris will fly into the crowd Given this level of danger, it is understandable why people call for the authorities to take action Finding solutions – be academic and use qualifying language Part of the academic writing skill is learning to qualify what you say so that it is not too general Take a look at these two
