Notion tip: This guide is also a fully functional project page. Try changing properties or adding tasks to see how your set-up changes.

Projects and Tasks are built with 4 core concepts

  1. Projects — Each project has its own page (like this one!) where you can add tasks and project details. All of your projects are also housed in your newly created Projects page.
  2. Tasks — All of your tasks live in the Tasks page. Like projects, tasks open as their own pages where you can add subtasks and assign them to projects.
  3. Properties — Label projects and tasks with relevant information like status, assignee, due date, and more — all in the form of properties.
  4. Views — Visualize your work with custom layouts and filters. Each view uses the same underlying data but displays it in new ways so that you can quickly keep track of your team’s work.

To achieve a band 8 in IELTS Writing Task 2, you will need to produce an essay that contains all the positive features contained in the band 8 writing assessment criteria. Let's take a look at these in the table below.
Task response • sufficiently addresses all parts of the task
• presents a well-developed response to the question with relevant, extended and supported ideas
Coherence and cohesion • sequences information and ideas logically
• manages all aspects of cohesion well
• uses paragraphing sufficiently and appropriately
Lexical resource • uses a wide range of vocabulary fluently and flexibly to convey precise meanings
• skillfully uses uncommon lexical items but there may be occasional inaccuracies in word choice and collocation
• produces rare errors in spelling and/or word formation
Grammatical range and accuracy • uses a wide range of structures
• the majority of sentences are error-free
• makes only very occasional errors or inappropriacies

Using the band descriptors as a guide we are going to go through the 8 steps to get you on your way to a band 8 in Writing Task 2.

We will start with the task response before moving through all the criteria to show you what an examiner will be looking for in your response.

Step 1: Answer is relevant to the question

Answer what you have been asked in the question. Don’t produce an essay that is close to a topic you have previously prepared. Make sure your examples and ideas are relevant. If you generalise too much and are not specific enough this will affect how your ideas are presented to the examiner.
