Now let's learn how to write a band nine Introduction for task two of the writing section.

For the first step we need to read the question carefully.

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Some people believe that standardized english exams, like I.

However, think that standard english exams are important for society, which do you believe and why Give explanations and examples to support your opinion.

We're ready to do some planning in order to get a high band score 78 or nine on the writing section.

You have to plan your response carefully.

Even a fluent writer of english will have difficulty to get a great mark without first doing some planning step number one, paraphrase the question, paraphrasing the question means to rewrite the question in your own words.

This will help you generate vocabulary for the essay.

It ensures that you understand the question correctly and helps you to think deeply about the question, allowing you to come up with some great ideas.

So let's paraphrase the question, certain individuals think that normalized tests of english like E.

While opponents argue these exams are necessary for communities, which side do you think is right and why?

There are many ways to paraphrase, just make sure that you have about 60 to 70% replacement of the original question at least 60 to 70% Fine.

Now let's go to step two, this is a skill you have to practice at home.

Number one, identify the topic, identifying the topic means identifying what we are discussing, what we are writing about.

In this case we are writing about standard english exams.

Now second, identify the controlling idea or controlling ideas.

That means the ideas which are targeting the topic.

What are we discussing about these standard english exams?

In this case the controlling ideas are standard english exams are just to make money or standard english exams have usefulness for society.

Now, in our next step for planning we can think critically about the topic and the controlling idea.

This means asking what why, how for the topic and asking what why, how for the controlling ideas.

Okay, so first let's ask what why and how about the topic?

These are exams designed to measure the language ability of a student, Why do we have these exams?

So we can show the exact level of english proficiency that a person has, How can we do this?

Well, the exams test, listening, reading, writing and speaking skills, thereby showing an overall ability for communication in english.

So now we know what we are discussing in our essay.

Why and how for the controlling ideas, The controlling idea that these exams are just for business, what to make lots of money?

Because these exams are expensive and a lot of people have to take them.

Now, let's repeat the same for the other controlling idea, which is these exams are useful for societies.

Society benefits when it's able to measure people's english ability, why?

Because people can function and contribute to society, how, when they have a certain level of english, they're able to do jobs and communicate with others around them.

Now, you have the right idea of step by step planning for a great essay.

Do you choose english exams are just big business or they have an important function in society.

In my case, I'm going to argue that they're necessary for communities.

So, I'm ready to create my thesis statement.

The thesis statement will become the most important part of your essay.

It is your argument, it is the writer's opinion.

It clearly tells your reader what you think and why you think it The thesis should include clear points that will become the body paragraphs for our essay.

Although some people think that standard english exams exist to make money.

I believe they are necessary for societies to function efficiently and happily.

This thesis statement clearly shows my reader my position and body.

Paragraph one will be about efficient function in society and body.

Paragraph two will be about functioning happily in society.

Now we're ready to write the introduction.

A band nine introductory paragraph should have three parts a hook, a background and a thesis.

Some students here that a hook is not necessary for the I.

Hook helps your reader and you the writer to clearly show that you understand what you are writing about the Hook has to include the topic.

It should be a simple sentence without mistakes.

Take a look at this example for our question, millions of people worldwide take standard english exams each year it's simple introduces the topic and catches the reader.

Okay now we're ready to write the background.

The background has two important elements.

One explain to your reader the definitions of the key terms that you discuss in the essay in our case, what is a standard english exam as well?

The importance of the question why are we talking about the standard english exams and whether their business or for utility.

Here is an example governments and schools around the globe demand that applicants prove a certain level of english ability through the use of exams like E.

All right now we have a definition of what we're discussing and we've explained to the reader why it's important.

Let's just add in the thesis to complete the introduction.

I think that they are necessary for societies to function efficiently and happily.

Now you have a band nine introduction, Take a look when it's all together.

This is how it reads millions of people worldwide take standard english exams each year governments and schools around the globe demand that applicants prove a certain level of english ability through the use of exams like I.
