Practise IELTS writing in a computer-test flow

Generate a Task 1 or Task 2 prompt and practise timing, typing and word count in a computer-test style editor. Use it for an introduction, one body paragraph or a complete essay before signing in.

Choose the task before timing

Task 1 requires at least 150 words and Task 2 at least 250. Choose the task before setting your pace.

Use word count to check structure

Word count is only a floor. Check that the introduction, body paragraphs and conclusion answer the task.

Keep a local draft

The draft stays in local browser storage, so you can revise it before moving to the full workspace for AI feedback.
