What you will be able to do
- Keep original evidence
- Verify the diagnosis
- Choose a useful category
Keep original evidence
Store the relevant sentence and task context. An error label without an example may be hard to interpret later.
Verify the diagnosis
Check suggestions against reliable guidance or a teacher where necessary. Do not catalogue an AI mistake as your own rule.
Choose a useful category
Task interpretation, development, cohesion and language errors call for different practice.
Close the loop
Add a new response showing whether the pattern transfers. A corrected sentence alone is not the final evidence.
Work through an original example
A learner logs “bad grammar” after every essay. The note cannot guide practice.
A better entry identifies a repeated sentence-boundary issue, an example and a short editing-and-writing task.
Practice commentary
Why this version works
Answer: The log becomes an action plan rather than a list of negative judgements.
Practise, check and try a changed task
Review five comments and keep only verified, actionable entries.
Revisit the log before a fresh task and check whether the same difficulty recurs.
- Check the meaning against the original task, rather than rewarding impressive wording alone.
- Keep one concrete observation and one next action; avoid treating a single attempt as a complete assessment.
Continue with focused practice
Use the original task and your own draft when reviewing a report. Verify data, meaning and any suggested correction before revising. Check current access requirements and use fictional material rather than sensitive personal information.

Useful answers
Frequently asked questions
Should every comment enter the log?
No. Prioritise recurring and relevant issues you have checked.
Does completing this exercise certify proficiency?
No. This is independent educational practice, not an official examination or validated proficiency judgement.
Should I accept automated feedback without checking?
No. Compare feedback with the original task and your response. Seek qualified guidance where a suggestion remains unclear.
How should I check transfer?
Try fresh material with the same skill demand. A memorised repeat can improve without demonstrating flexible use.
Sources, scope and accuracy
AI writing feedback is diagnostic guidance, not an official IELTS result or an examiner judgement. Original examples are independent educational exercises.
