In my opinion, your videos are perfect, extremely well planned and to the point. Not to forget their profoundly productive impact on the learners. Just brilliant.
Hi Sir Eli, thank you so much for your very informative, concise, and easy-to-follow tutorial about writing high band or advanced essay. Keep it up, Sir. God Bless.
Hello Dear Eli, Thank you so much for sharing! Indeed, your online courses are very useful and help us to improve writing skills. Actually I could learn this kind of the question ( disagree and agree) from you who convey your knowledge properly! I am so grateful🙏
Dear Eli, Thank you so much for your videos. I have my IELTS exam in two days, therefore I am a bit nervious. I am aiming for 8,5 in writing and I want to use the 70/30+ rebuttal structure.I have a question : so when you agree to the main statement you write two main causes of your support to the main topic and then in the third BP explain why some people disagree and basically argue why their opinion isnt suitable? Conversely, if you disagree with the main idea of the prompt you state reasons of your disagreement+ in BP 3 bring example why some people agree and again argue them why their thoughts are not correct? Please let me know if I understood the structure correct. Thank you for your time and consideration.
That's correct! Good luck with your test (I hope I have replied in time). You can find some example model essays using this structure here: englishprotips.com/model-answers/
Dear Eli, I am not sure if I understood it correctly. But if the question was Do you agree or disagree, it would still be fine to go with 70/30 structure?
Yes. In this structure you explain 2 reasons why you agree and 1 reason why you disagree (or vice-versa). Introduction: introduce the topic and respond to the question (give opinion) Paragraph 1: first reason why you agree. Paragraph 2: second reason why you agree*. Paragraph 3: a reason why some people disagree. Conclusion: restate your opinion *You can also put both reasons why you agree in the same paragraph. Here's the lesson - englishprotips.com/lessons/agree-disagree-essay/
Hi dear Eli, i have seen your videos on TH-cam this month, i would say all of them are great. But i have a question. In paragraph 1 , first line in this essay. Can we write : having frequent exams ensure that teanagers, who have had ample exams, practice before counting ..... . Thank you master teacher for everything you have learnt us.
Hello Eli. I greatly benefitted from your tutorials while preparing for IELTS. They were super helpful. I've already recommended your channel to others. Great job 👏
Dear Eli, Sir the 70/30 structure, without the rebuttal, the 3rd body paragraph suggests ACKNOWLEDGING the opposite point of view. So isn't it also a critical structure to aim for higher band score, similar to the one u discussed here?
Yes! It certainly is. The 70/30 structure is also an advanced structure. I wanted to make a video about, what I consider to be, the most advanced structure. And that's the 70/30 + rebuttal.
Hi,,, could you please clear my doubt. Can we follow 70-30+rebuttal in simple question. Ex- smoking should be banned. Do you agree or disagree. Lot of people say, this structure is to be followed in (to what extent do you agree or disagree)
Hey Romwel, they're the same. It's the same test and the same assessment criteria. Sometimes the price for the test is slightly different between the British Council and IDP and one organisation might have nicer facilities, but the test is the same.
Pls why didn't u restate ur stand in conclusion using past tense e.g you said; 'I would argue' instead of 'I argued'. I will appreciate an immediate feedback pls🙏
@@EnglishProTips i thought everything would be based on already written essay with the exception of prediction and suggestions. Any way, hope my tense is also correct?
@@evae.1663 That's correct. You show a reason why some people disagree, and then you show why you don't think their argument is a good argument. You can find out more in the Task 2 course which is free to start: englishprotips.com/courses/ielts-task-2-writing-course/
how can I write 70/30 essay in 2 paragraph structure ?? 1-intro 2-agree 3-disagree 4-conclusion or 1-intro 2-agree point 1 3-agree point 2 +disagree point 1 4-conclusion

Thank you for the kind words and the recommendations. It means a lot to me 🙂
This is very useful. Thank you, Mr Howes.
By the way, Could you give us structures for other pattern questions, please?
Yes! If you have your test soon, I suggest you have a look at my IELTS writing course: englishprotips.com/courses/academic-writing-course/
Here is a pie-chart question: th-cam.com/video/o1Nbc-RY4PI/w-d-xo.html
You used brackets ' is it Okay to use like this, tell me when to use such brackets?
Hi Eli, i took the 70/30 approach but only had 4 paragraphs. I don't don't think to add a second reason to support my 70% stance. What are my chances?
Sir, is it okay to Partially agree in a ‘to what extent do you agree’ type of essay?
Sir can we write opposite view point paragraph 1st then supportive paragraphs
Plzz reply
Yes, that sounds great.
@@EnglishProTips thank you sir
Completely/strongly- Agree/disagree

Your teaching method is really great. Anyone can easily understand and implement the things you explain. Each video is so informative and helpful.
That is wonderful to hear! Thank you for letting me know 😊
how to agree and disagree at the same time? In to what extent do you agree or disagree ?
hi mr eli, i have a doubt, is paragraph 3 essentially required or is it an optional paragraph...is that the only way to bring Band 8 and above.?
There are a few structures you can use. Here's the lesson - englishprotips.com/lessons/agree-disagree-essay/
Hi,,, could you please clear my doubt. Can we follow 70-30+rebuttal in simple question. Ex- smoking should be banned. Do you agree or disagree.
Lot of people say, this structure is to be followed in (to what extent do you agree or disagree)
This 70/30+rebuttal pattern is for all format easy or just agree/disagree essay?
You can use it for all.
Where I can get this model answer?

Hello Eli. I really wanna know the difference between British Council and IDP. What are they looking for?
Hey Romwel, they're the same. It's the same test and the same assessment criteria. Sometimes the price for the test is slightly different between the British Council and IDP and one organisation might have nicer facilities, but the test is the same.
@@EnglishProTips Thank you, Eli. Your lessons are very helpful.
Thnku sir
How we could answer a double qn type of essay..
There are a few ways to structure a double question. You can find them in this course: englishprotips.com/courses/ielts-task-2-writing-course/
Sir, where are other types of essays? With the same process!
The essay types and how to tackle them are in the writing course - englishprotips.com/courses/ielts-task-2-writing-course/
Pls why didn't u restate ur stand in conclusion using past tense e.g you said; 'I would argue' instead of 'I argued'. I will appreciate an immediate feedback pls🙏
Hey, it's fine to use "I would argue" because you're showing your position (not referring back to your essay).
@@EnglishProTips i thought everything would be based on already written essay with the exception of prediction and suggestions. Any way, hope my tense is also correct?

Hlo sir I am from india . I hope u reply me ??
Did you message me? You can email me at eli@englishprotips.com
Sir, may I ask a question? So basically on 70/30+rebuttal, the writer is totally agreed/disagreed with the notion? Is my interpretation correct?
By adding other people reason why they are disagree and then we debate (refute) their opinion.
@@evae.1663 That's correct. You show a reason why some people disagree, and then you show why you don't think their argument is a good argument. You can find out more in the Task 2 course which is free to start: englishprotips.com/courses/ielts-task-2-writing-course/
@@EnglishProTips thank you sir
how can I write 70/30 essay in 2 paragraph structure ??
