Task Response priority
Correct structure protects the score before vocabulary can help.
Banyak kandidat IELTS kehilangan nilai bukan karena bahasa Inggris mereka buruk, namun karena mereka menjawab jenis pertanyaan yang salah. Jika Anda menulis struktur diskusi untuk esai opini, atau melewatkan bagian kedua dari pertanyaan dua bagian, skor Respons Tugas Anda bisa turun dengan cepat.
The easiest way to protect your Task Response score is to look for command phrases first. IELTS usually tells you what kind of answer it wants, but many students rush into writing before decoding the instruction line.
Opinion
Look for 'Do you agree or disagree?' or 'To what extent do you agree or disagree?'.
Discussion
Look for 'Discuss both views and give your opinion.'.
Problem-Solution
Look for cause / problem / solution wording in the prompt.
Two-Part
Look for two distinct questions that both need full answers.
Once you recognize the type, the next job is to match it with a structure that answers the actual prompt. Use this table as a quick reference before you draft.
| Essay type | How to recognize it | Default structure |
|---|---|---|
| Esai Opini | Sejauh mana Anda setuju atau tidak setuju? / Apakah Anda setuju atau tidak setuju? | Perkenalan -> Alasan 1 -> Alasan 2 -> Kesimpulan |
| Esai Diskusi | Diskusikan kedua pandangan tersebut dan berikan pendapat Anda. | Perkenalan -> Lihat 1 -> Lihat 2 + pendapat Anda -> Kesimpulan |
| Esai Solusi Masalah | Masalah apa yang ditimbulkannya dan bagaimana cara mengatasinya? / Apa penyebab dan solusinya? | Perkenalan -> Masalah / Penyebab -> Solusi -> Kesimpulan |
| Kelebihan dan Kekurangan Esai | Apakah kelebihannya lebih besar daripada kerugiannya? / Apa kelebihan dan kekurangannya? | Perkenalan -> Keuntungan -> Kekurangan -> Kesimpulan |
| Esai Pertanyaan Dua Bagian | Mengapa hal ini terjadi? Apakah ini perkembangan positif atau negatif? | Perkenalan -> Jawab pertanyaan 1 -> Jawab pertanyaan 2 -> Kesimpulan |
