Last week, I challenged my YouTube subscribers to write a Writing Task 2 essay that answered this question:

“Some people say that in all levels of education too much time is spent on learning facts and not enough on learning practical skills.

Do you agree or disagree?”

Firstly, I want to say thank you to every single person that submitted a response - I really enjoyed reading your essays! It’s amazing to see so many of you follow the advice I gave you in my last video.

If you missed it, you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNYoSpKpu44?el=youtubedesc

In today’s lesson, you can watch me read and give detailed feedback on one of the essays you submitted beneath last week’s video. I’ll highlight some of the most common mistakes students make in their IELTS Task 2 essays so you can avoid making them in YOUR essays.

Here’s what I’ll talk about:
