Writing is the section where most candidates score lowest, and the reason is usually structural rather than linguistic. The four criteria — Task Achievement, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy — are marked separately, so an essay with excellent vocabulary can still be capped by a weak response to the actual question.
These articles cover both tasks: how to describe data accurately in Task 1 without listing every number, how to build a Task 2 argument that answers the prompt given rather than the topic in general, and what the difference between a band 6 and a band 7 response actually looks like on the page. Task 2 carries twice the weight of Task 1 in your Writing score.
