In this video we are going to look at IELTS essay correction. How to do it, who should do it, why you should do it, and when you should do it. First of all, let’s have a look. It’s really important that you completely understand the value of essay correction because, as I have said before, in I think it’s in a podcast, if you are watching essay after essay after essay it’s like running through a forest with a blindfold on. You don’t know where you are going and you’re going to get hit. No one is giving you any feedback so you can’t correct what your root is. When you are writing essays, it really is very important to get somebody to look at it, to show you the grammar mistakes, and, if they can, to show you some of the IELTS essay skills that you will be needing. When they look at your grammar mistakes, they should be saying, “Here you’ve got a problem with the articles. I’d recommend going to this website.” and focus in on that.

If they can identify that you are writing in a more spoken style. If they can identify that then they should be able to as well to tell you, “ok if you want to transfer it to a more academic style of essay do this and do this and do this.” So, those are sort of the qualities that you should b looking for when you are getting your IELTS essay. Now when should you do this? I recommend as soon as possible because you do not know the errors that you are making. Like I said, before, you are running through a forest with your eyes closed and it’s going to hurt. So get it done as soon as possible. Even if your exam is in about three months. It still makes sense to start getting some feedback now so you can avoid what is called “fossilized errors”. And you can start identifying your mistakes and taking corrective action. Also, yo
