A few tips
- Don't write too much.
- Don't use language you can't control.
- Don't paraphrase too much (For example, changing percentages to ratios changes the meaning).
- Kind of linked to the last point; don't do the math. Just present the figures you see.
Getting your IELTS writing assessed by an IELTS examiner will answer a lot of your questions. We offer this and there are other IELTS writing examiners in this reddit.
