You need to be constantly reading, even if it doesn't relate to what you do, so you can understand how good authors craft language. Read essays from JStor, and from past students. Also, I suggest having a vocabulary bank. Whenever, you come across a new word that you don't know, write it down and copy it into your vocabulary bank, and have a definition and maybe an example. Then you can also have topic-specific or module-specific vocabulary. Gradually incorporate this into your writing. This will lend your writing a Band 6 level of sophistication.

Can I ask what text you're doing for your assignment and your related?

Thanks for the study tips^^ I'm doing Billy Elliot as my text and as for my related text I'm doing Wild Orchid: A Retelling of "The Ballad of Mulan" book.
