As most postgraduate research today is funded by industry then student grants should also come from the same source. Remember to include examples to illustrate your ideas.
Discussion
This is the end of the practice section on writing.If you wrote two good answers in the set time you are well prepared for the IELTS writing test. If you want more practice, set yourself tasks similar to those above, in your field of study or any area of general interest. Practise the main processes and always keep to the time limit. Work in a group if possible, exchange and compare ideas and set each other tasks. Ask a teacher to assess what you write.
The select bibliography may behelpful if you need more practice in this part of IELTS. For further practice there are four test paters andfive supplementary writing tests in section two, page 62.

Here are some points to remember:
1.We can summarise the main processes as follows:plan it, write it and check it.
Of these, perhaps the most important is the planningprocess, so make sure you analyse the task properly and spend some time making notes.
2.Remember, if you use parts of the question to introduce the topic in your writing, you mustbe careful not to copy whole sentences. You will need to paraphrase.
Copying word for word scores zero in IELTS
3.Finally ,if you have not finished task 1 after 20 minutes, leave it and go to task 2. It is very important that you should always leave yourself enough time to do task 2 properly. It is longer than task 1 and carries more marks.
