If you're working hard for that 7 in IELTS writing task 2, you're not alone. I've been there! After two attempts stuck on 6.5, I realized my focus was all wrong. It wasn't about using fancy words, but rather about clarity.
Here's what I did: I made sure each paragraph had just one clear idea. I started with a strong topic sentence, then supported it with a concrete example. I also dropped the habit of adding new ideas in my conclusions—this was a game-changer for me!
Remember, sometimes simpler is better. Focusing on clear, logical progression in your writing can make a huge difference. Good luck, everyone!
