He was talking about writing the other day and he said, “Writing is a reflection of our thinking,” and I totally agree with this. He interviews some really, really interesting people so it’s called the Tim Ferriss Podcast. Definitely check it out, not only just to practice your listening but just really interesting. I was listening to one of his podcasts, I’ve listened to every single one of them. I think his podcast is one of the top ten podcast in the world by number of downloads. All right, first I want to start off with a quote from Tim Ferriss, Tim Ferriss is a New York Times bestselling author. Let’s just focus on one thing at a time because when I’ve combined task 1 and task 2 coherence and cohesion before it gets a little bit confusing so let’s just focus on task 2 today. We’re not going to look at task 1 but if you want more information on task 1, go and check out and you’ll see a task 1 section there and you can have a look there. We’re only going to look at task 2 today. We’re going to apply what we learn to real examples. We’re going to look at what practical steps you can take to improve your coherence and cohesion score. A lot of students find this difficult to understand so we’re going to keep it really, really practical today. In this lesson what we’re going to do is we’re going to take a practical approach to understanding these concepts because often what I see is students being taught it in a way of very high-level theory so many teachers, not criticizing teachers in any way, but the way that it is taught is often talking on a theoretical basis. Like many things on IELTS test, the problem is not that it is hard, or it is difficult, the problem is that most students don’t understand what this means in just basic practical real terms. Coherence and cohesion is worth 25% of your total mark, so it is extremely important because it’s worth a quarter of your total marks and without doing it properly, you’re really going to struggle to get the score that you’re hoping for. I thought I’d make this video because a lot of you seem to be a little bit confused about what coherence and cohesion means and so I thought that I would make a video today showing you in basic practical terms with examples and everything what it actually means in real life, in a real test situation. Today, what we’re going to work on is coherence and cohesion, specifically for task 2 writing. Below is a transcript of the video above:
