CHATGPT GUIDES

Please learn how to use ChatGpt effectively.

Remember: ChatGpt is a HELPING TOOL, NOT A PLAGIARISM/CHEATING TOOL.

1. Brainstorming Ideas

● Prompt: "I'm preparing for an IELTS essay on the topic: 'Some people believe that
modern technology is making people more sociable, while others think it is making them
less sociable.' Can you help me brainstorm some arguments for both sides?"
● Why: This will help students gather ideas they might not have thought of, encouraging a
broader perspective.

2. Clarifying Essay Questions

● Prompt: "I have an IELTS essay question: 'Discuss both views and give your own
opinion.' Can you explain what this question is asking for and how I should structure my
essay?"
● Why: This helps students understand how to approach different types of essay
questions, which is essential for IELTS writing.

3. Generating Outline Suggestions

● Prompt: "Can you help me create a basic outline for an essay on the topic: 'The
advantages of working from home outweigh the disadvantages'? I want to make sure my
arguments are clear and well-organized."
● Why: Students can get a structured plan to guide their writing, but they will still need to
fill in the content themselves.

4. Improving Sentence Structure

● Prompt: "I wrote this sentence for my IELTS essay: 'Nowadays, people is using a lot of
technological devices.' Can you help me improve it and make it sound more natural?"
● Why: This allows students to learn from corrections, helping them spot common
grammatical errors and write more fluently.

5. Practicing Paraphrasing

● Prompt: "Here is a sentence from a reading passage: 'Many companies have adopted
flexible working hours.' Can you give me a few different ways to paraphrase this
sentence for my IELTS writing?"
● Why: Paraphrasing is a key skill in IELTS writing. Practicing this helps students avoid
copying phrases directly and boosts their vocabulary.
6. Expanding Vocabulary

● Prompt: "Can you suggest some alternative words for 'important' that I can use in my
IELTS essays?"
● Why: Students can diversify their vocabulary, which is essential for achieving a higher
band score.

7. Getting Feedback on a Thesis Statement

● Prompt: "I wrote a thesis statement for my IELTS essay: 'In my opinion, online education
has more benefits than drawbacks because it is more accessible and cost-effective.' Can
you give me feedback on how I can improve this thesis?"
● Why: Students can refine their thesis statements, making their main argument clearer
and stronger.

8. Correcting Grammatical Errors

● Prompt: "Here is a sentence from my essay: 'The peoples who lives in rural areas often
struggles to access healthcare.' Can you point out and correct any grammatical errors in
this sentence?"
● Why: This will help students identify and learn from their grammar mistakes, leading to
better writing accuracy.

9. Practicing Cohesion and Coherence

● Prompt: "I wrote two ideas for my IELTS essay, but they don't seem to connect well:
'Many people prefer to live in cities because of the job opportunities. However, cities can
be quite noisy and crowded.' Can you help me make a smoother transition between
these two ideas?"
● Why: Learning to connect ideas clearly and logically is vital for coherence in writing.

10. Developing Examples and Supporting Details

● Prompt: "I need to support my argument that 'working from home can increase
productivity.' Can you suggest an example or some details that I can use in my essay?"
● Why: Students will get ideas on how to develop their points, but they’ll still need to adapt
and write their own sentences.

11. Understanding Different Essay Types

● Prompt: "Can you explain the difference between an 'opinion essay' and a
'problem-solution essay' in IELTS writing? What should I focus on when writing each
type?"
● Why: Knowing the distinctions between essay types helps students understand how to
approach different questions.

12. Practicing Timed Writing

● Prompt: "I want to practice writing an IELTS Task 2 essay. Can you give me a random
topic, and I will write my essay in 40 minutes?"
● Why: Students can practice under timed conditions, and then they can use ChatGPT to
get feedback on their essay afterward.

13. Seeking Feedback on Practice Essays

● Prompt: "I wrote a practice essay on the topic: 'The benefits of international travel
outweigh the risks.' Can you review my essay and give me some feedback on my
grammar, vocabulary, and overall coherence?"
● Why: Getting feedback helps students understand their strengths and areas for
improvement, but they still need to write the essay themselves.
