Foundation Writing PT · Sentences · Paragraphs · Short texts
Start with sentences and reach the 4.0 you need to begin mock tests.
If you have rarely written a paragraph in English, a full mock test is too early. Practise three levels in 30-minute sessions — fixing faulty sentences, one paragraph, a short essay — and get scored on the IELTS band. Clear a level target twice in a row and you move up; clear level 3 and you are ready to begin IELTS or TOEFL mock tests.

Assessment criteria
- TR
Task Response
Did the text do what the instructions asked? A list of sentences where a paragraph was asked for, or no opinion where one was asked for, is capped here.
- CC
Coherence and Cohesion
Can a reader follow it? Is there a topic sentence, and are and, but and because in the right places?
- LR
Lexical Resource
Are the words the right ones, spelt correctly and in the right form, without the same word repeated over and over?
- GRA
Grammatical Range and Accuracy
Does every sentence have a verb? Do subject and verb agree? Are tense, articles and plurals right? This is where Band 4.0 is decided.
What the mock test does
Scored on the IELTS 0–9 band
A 4.0 in foundation means the same as a 4.0 in a mock test, so your trend carries over when you move up.
Korean instructions and an example
Every task comes with Korean instructions and a one-paragraph example on a different topic. You never stall because you do not know what to write.
Plain-language diagnosis, three things at most
Sentence-level faults first — missing verbs, tense, articles — and only one or two things to fix next time. The model answer is a reachable Band 5.0.
Two passes in a row and you move up
Clear the level target twice in a row to advance. Clear level 3 and you are marked exam-ready and pointed to the IELTS or TOEFL plans.
