Experience:

What experience do you want to reflect on?

I want to reflect on a writing session I just finished — it covered both Task 1 and Task 2 of the IELTS Writing section. This session included strategy review, question analysis, outlining, partial timed writing, and common error study.

Is this Kolb's cycle reflecting on an experiment from a previous Kolb's?

Yes.

For Task 1, my previous marginal gain was:

“Start doing full essays instead of just the intro and overview.”

I’ve now moved into full-task practice mode, which includes timed writing, outlining, and experimenting with multiple graph questions.

For Task 2, the previous gain was simply:

“Start doing Task 2 at all — begin exploring common problem areas.”

Now I’ve begun narrowing in on specific problems like coherence, task achievement, and grammatical errors (e.g., “in vs on”).

What would a marginal gain look like?

I’m classifying marginal gains independently for Task 1 and Task 2:

Task 1

• The previous MG was: move from partial writing to full writing.
• I’m currently working on: systematically practicing all Task 1 question types, improving outlining, and strengthening question analysis and vocabulary usage.

Task 2

• The previous MG was: start engaging with Task 2 actively.
• I’m currently planning to: improve outlining and question deconstruction, and study the grammar and coherence errors that frequently occur in real responses.
