A lack of position
People stuck at band 6 often ask me, ‘Is it better to agree or disagree with the question?’ This question reveals another key problem at this level: many candidates begin writing without having a clear idea of their own opinion. People asking this question are really saying ‘Tell me what my opinion should be! Tell me what to think!’
Key Idea : You will not succeed in making your position clear throughout your essay if you do not actually know what your position is before you begin writing. This is closely linked to the next problem: a lack of ideas.
