Why read model essays?
The more you read real model essays, the more you will begin to memorize patterns of English, useful structures, and chunks of vocabulary. These can help you with your writing. Have a look at Ryan Higgins’s online writing course: HERE where he explains in one of his videos (about getting Band 9) why reading model essays is important.
The problem?
Many ‘model’ essays on the Internet are full of errors. How do you choose which ones are good models? We reviewed a number of websites. Some are good for general information, latest exams, or other skills; some provide good writing examples. Here’s our review:
