and more. Contractions are informal but if we talk about IELTS then it is a formal exam. So avoid using contractions in IELTS.
There is only one situation in the IELTS exam where you are recommended to use contractions i.e. in IELTS General Training exam- Writing Task 1 letter to a friend. Only while writing a letter to a friend, you are allowed to switch on informal writing, other than that avoid using contractions in IELTS exam.

Having the unclear discussion of what your opinion is, affects the IELTS writing score adversely. Try to be clear about your opinion first and maintain a good pace by sticking to that opinion throughout the essay writing. The examiner must be clear with what your opinion is at the end of the passage. Don’t merge your opinion with what some people think, what others think, at last examiner is keen to know what you think.
Here are some tips
- Make sure about your opinion at the beginning of the writing the essay
- Use adequate personal pronouns to express it as your own opinion.
- Stick to that opinion throughout the essay writing, don’t change it during the essay

Using research and survey data in your passage makes the examiner unsure about the figures used and they are not going to check what you have mentioned is accurate.
Rather it is suggested to use real-life examples and evidence from your life to support your answer. It looks more relevant and genuine to the examiner.
Slangs are used in informal language having words that are not appropriate for formal exam IELTS. Using alternative words instead of slangs can help in getting high band score.
For example-
