Welcome to IELTS Writer!

IELTS Writer at IELTSwriter.com is a free tool you can use to practise writing compositions for the IELTS exam. Here's how it works.

Choose an Academic Writing task (from the Task 1 or Task 2 sections), and follow the instructions. Of course, you don't have to follow the instructions exactly - they're just a suggestion.

You can view a model answer for each paragraph by hovering your mouse pointer over the hidden text. Is the model version better or just different? If it's better, why is it better? The words in bold type are particularly useful for linking ideas and structuring your writing.

At any time you can click the "Count Words" button to see how many words you've written. When you've finished, you can click "Print Composition" (or use your browser's Print function). There's also a spell-checker which can suggest alternatives to words it doesn't recognise, plus an online dictionary.

Frequently asked questions

Are the questions the same as in the exam?

The questions are in the same format as the exam, and are written by a published writer of IELTS practice tests.

Can I save my work to my computer?

Yes. Select the text, go to the "Edit" menu on your browser, click "Copy", and then paste the text into a document created in Microsoft Word or any other word-processing application.

Using the functions

To use the word counter, spell-checker, dictionary and printer button, your browser has to have JavaScript turned on (it probably already is). The spell-checker and dictionary may not work well over a slow connection.

How can I find out what band score I'd get in the exam?

Descriptions of the IELTS bandscores are on the YOUR SCORES page. For full details about the IELTS Writing module and all other parts of the exam, please visit the official IELTS website: ielts.org.
