Template vs structure
Intro
Body 1 - topic sentence ...
Body 2 - topic sentence ...
Conclusion
Memorizing templates/learnt sentences is the worst advice
C&C:
- referencing problems
- jumping from one idea to another
- overuse/underuse of discourse markers (and/which)
- using discourse markers (however, therefore, although) in the middle of sentences is better rather than at the beginning
Grammatical range and accuracy:
- use both simple and complex grammar structures (range)
- try not to make a lot of mistakes (accuracy)
Subordination - fitting more info in shorter sentences - relative clause, although, etc.
LR:
- precision
- range
- learning a list of vocab is terrible
- do not try to automatically squeeze
- learn collocations
- do not use synonyms that do not fit
- worried about not to copying the question and come up with incorrect synonyms
- word forms (good)
- write by hand if you are taking PB exam
Do what you enjoy in english before an exam day to unwind
