Writing Feedback / IELTS Academic-Essay about whether group activities teach more important skills than individual ones [3]
You are making an incorrect assumption. This is not a belief that is shared by the original prompt. Do not use embellishments when restating the original prompt. You are scored on your ability to closely restate the original topic, without altering the original thought. Your opening phrase alters the original presentation. That will cause TA deductions in terms of interpretation accuracy. I will applaud your creative agreement with the statement though. That is interesting and shows your ability to respond to the question in a creative manner.
There is no need to state a supporting reason for the discussion you are countering. You will actually receive deductions and a low, non passing score because you failed to strongly support your own opinion. You will not receive a score for the paragraph that counters your opinion and, your word count will be reduced so you will receive additional penalties for that as well. At this point, this is a non passing score essay. Always remember, support your opinion with 2 reasons, never support the counter argument.
