About this tool
The IELTS thesis and introduction builder turns a Task 2 question into an introduction and a thesis sentence in three style levels, with a matching conclusion, a pre-writing checklist and the most common mistake for that kind of question. It stops before the body paragraphs, so the ideas and examples stay yours.
A clear position in the first paragraph is one of the easiest ways to protect your Task Response mark.
What this tool does
Three style levels
Compare an introduction and thesis in Band 6.5, 7.5 and 8 styles to see how wording and precision change.
You choose the position
Pick agree, disagree or balanced, or let the tool choose the position that is easiest to defend in two paragraphs.
Target band setting
Set the band you are aiming for so the examples match your level.
A matching conclusion
See how the conclusion repeats your position without copying the introduction.
Pre-writing checklist
Three checks to run before you start the body paragraphs.
Explains why it works
Each version comes with a short note on what makes it clear, so you learn the pattern.

How to write a strong introduction and thesis
Paraphrase, do not copy
Change the vocabulary and the structure of the question while keeping the meaning. Copying the question word for word adds nothing to your lexical range.
State your position clearly
For an opinion question say whether you agree or disagree and to what extent. For a discussion question say which view you find stronger.
Preview your two main ideas
A thesis that names the two ideas of your body paragraphs helps the reader follow your essay, which supports coherence.
Keep it short
Two or three sentences are enough. Save the detail for the body paragraphs.
Who it is for
- Candidates who lose marks because the position is unclear
- Learners who copy the question into the introduction
- Anyone aiming for Band 7 who wants to see more precise wording
- Teachers who want examples of introductions at different levels
Frequently asked questions
Are the band labels real scores?
No. They describe the style of each version so you can compare wording. Only a full check of your own essay gives an estimated band.
Can I copy the introduction into my essay?
Use it to learn the pattern, then write your own words. Copied text will not match your ideas or your vocabulary.
What is free and what needs a plan?
Everyone gets the Band 7.5 style version and the checklist, two runs a day without an account. A paid plan shows every version, the matching conclusion and the common mistake, with no daily limit.
Does the tool write my essay?
No. It stops after the introduction, thesis and conclusion. The body paragraphs, ideas and examples are yours to write.
What is the difference between an introduction and a thesis?
The introduction paraphrases the question and states your position. The thesis is the one sentence that states the position and previews your main ideas.
Which questions does it work for?
Task 2 questions of any type. It does not work for Task 1 charts or letters.
Is my question stored?
The question is sent to an AI service to produce the text. Avoid including personal information in it.
How long should my introduction be?
Two or three sentences, about 40 to 60 words. Your conclusion should be shorter.
