Avoid the use of run-on sentences in all the paragraphs you will be writing. Your summary overview should be composed of 2-3 sentences at all times. Do not include all possible information in one sentence. That is considered a run-on presentation. A run-on sentence will be confusing to the reader. It will be difficult to keep track of the information you are presenting. Keep the sentences basic. One idea per sentence works very well in a task 1 essay. This is a problem that also exists in your trending paragraph. Correct this significant error during your next practice essay.


Make it easier for the reader to keep track of this type of information. Always connect it to the source country or material. That way the information is grouped and will avoid confusing the examiner as he reads your paper.
