Today’s English lesson with my teacher was once again focused on IELTS Task II writing — something we’ve practiced many times before. Even though we’ve done it several times already, each session helps me understand the structure and techniques more deeply.

We reviewed the essay format: introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. My teacher reminded us that a strong thesis statement sets the direction for the whole essay, and every paragraph should support it clearly. In the body paragraphs, we worked on developing ideas with logical explanations and real examples, while using linking words like moreover, however, and for example to make our writing smoother and more cohesive.

Since we’ve practiced this multiple times, today’s lesson felt more like polishing our skills rather than learning something completely new. My teacher focused on the finer details — how to maintain a consistent tone, avoid repetition, and write conclusions that leave a strong impression.

Even though the topic is familiar, I still find every session useful. Each time, I pick up new tips that help me write more confidently and naturally. Step by step, I’m getting closer to mastering IELTS Task II writing!
