Samples of my writing task marking service (task 1 and task 2)

Posted by Grant Richardson, 2nd April, 2017

Apart from lessons, I also offer a separate service for marking students’ IELTS writing task practice answers. Students can email me their task 1 and/or task 2 answer scripts to mark, and I will return each script with corrections/suggested improvements and separate page of detailed feedback comments that covers each of the four separate marking criteria of the band descriptors:

• Task achievement (task 1) or Task response (task 2)
• Coherence and cohesion
• Lexical resource
• Grammatical range and accuracy

From these comments, students can more easily pinpoint any weaknesses that would limit their overall band score in the IELTS writing test, and receive advice on how they can improve on them. I normally spend at least an hour (typically more) on each answer script.

For reference, here are two sample marked answer scripts which one of my students sent me to mark (shared with permission):

Task 1 sample answer – before and after map of Stokesford
Task 2 sample answer – compulsory parenting course
