IELTS writing practice

Practise paraphrasing today. Write better tomorrow.

You think the writing tasks are difficult. They are — but writing is a skill like any other, and skills grow with practice. Paraphrasing is the smallest unit of that practice: one sentence, your own words, marked instantly. Do one a day and the essays get easier.

Education Nominalisation Medium
Original
The local council proposed that the public library should significantly extend its opening hours to accommodate working residents.
Your rewrite
A proposal was put forward by the local council for a significant extension of the public library's opening hours, so that working residents could make use of it.

Feedback. You turned "proposed" into "a proposal was put forward" and "extend" into "a significant extension" — exactly the nominalisation this sentence asks for. "Make use of it" softens "accommodate" slightly but keeps the sense. To tighten it, drop "so that…" and end on "for working residents".

Rewriting isn't the same as learning to rewrite

Paraphrasing is core to IELTS Writing and Speaking — every Task 1 opens by rewording the chart title, every Task 2 introduction rewords the question. A tool that paraphrases for you shows you an example. It doesn't tell you whether you could do it yourself, under exam conditions. There's also Spot the Paraphrase: pick the rewrite that keeps the meaning, and learn exactly why the others don't.
