I felt like I was in a never-ending loop, repeatedly hitting that 6.5 band score in IELTS. What finally changed things for me was focusing on clarity rather than complexity. Instead of trying to impress with fancy words, I simplified my structure.
My secret? One solid idea per paragraph, leading with a clear topic sentence, followed by a specific example. I also learned to avoid introducing new ideas in my conclusions; this kept everything concise and relevant!
