Question 1

What is an IELTS Paragraph Checker?

Accepted Answer

An IELTS Paragraph Checker analyzes a single body paragraph from your IELTS Task 1 or Task 2 essay. It checks whether the paragraph has a clear topic sentence, a specific example, and enough development — the three elements most commonly missing in Band 5–6 paragraphs.

Question 2

Can I check just one paragraph without a full essay?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This tool is specifically designed for a single paragraph. Paste any 20–500-word IELTS body paragraph and get instant feedback on its structure, main weakness, and a Band 7-style rewrite.

Question 3

What makes a good IELTS body paragraph?

Accepted Answer

A strong IELTS body paragraph has three things: a topic sentence that states one clear main idea, a specific example or piece of evidence, and development that explains the example and connects it back to the main argument. Many Band 5–6 candidates list multiple ideas without developing any of them.

Question 4

How is this different from the IELTS Writing Checker?

Accepted Answer

The IELTS Writing Checker analyzes your full essay and gives you a band estimate across all four criteria (Task Response, Coherence, Lexical Resource, Grammar). The Paragraph Checker is a lighter, faster tool for students who want to test one paragraph without writing a full essay first.

Question 5

Does this tool work for Task 1 and Task 2?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can paste a body paragraph from either IELTS Writing Task 1 (describing a chart, graph, or process) or Task 2 (an opinion, discussion, or problem-solution essay). The feedback focuses on paragraph structure, which applies to both task types.
