Most IELTS candidates fail Writing Task 2 not because their English is weak, but because their argument is uncontrolled, unfocused, or poorly structured.
IELTS Writing Task 2 - Essay Mastery and Commented Exercises Workbook is designed to develop what examiners actually reward: strategic argumentation, clarity of position, and controlled development of ideas.
This book goes beyond generic writing advice and focuses on how IELTS essays are evaluated, interpreted, and scored.

Why good English alone is not enough to reach Band 7+
How to analyse questions with precision and avoid misinterpretation
