I studied with just the Free KZbin Videos for three weeks and got an overall band of 7.5. I can never thank you enough, your videos are so helpful. God bless you, you are doing a great job. I highly recommend Asiya, thank you so much.

[@Ibrahimmohamed-mo3ej]

Give me samples question. I just knew of IELTS today. Is it for Britain only or can be used in America too?

[@imperia6368]

What question did you get for speaking?

[@RHabib548]

Which books you used for listening, reading and especially for writing, and speaking material

[@muhammadsajjad4531]

One of the best teachers on KZbin. Thanks a lot for your valuable tips and wonderful ideas ☺️.

[@charithjayakody]

I've able to score band 6 on very first IELTS exam Thanks to you (Asiya). I had only one week to prepare and had no guidance what so ever to ready for the exam. So I search internet for help, where I found your KZbin channel. Your instructions and tips are clear and accurate. Highly recommend for anyone who are looking for guidance and tips for IELTS exam. For my application process the score is enough, however I’m looking forward for another attempt.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 📚 Understanding IELTS Writing Task Types: There are five types of IELTS writing tasks: advantages and disadvantages, two views, opinion essays, problem solutions, and two direct questions. 03:26 📝 Structure of IELTS Essay: A typical IELTS essay structure includes an introduction, answers to two direct questions, and a conclusion. It's essential to explore each question in-depth and logically organize your ideas. 05:20 💡 Crafting a Clear Introduction: Keep your essay's introduction short and focused on paraphrasing the task. Avoid giving a summary of ideas in the introduction. 08:51 ⚖️ Balancing Advantages and Disadvantages: When answering a question about advantages and disadvantages, provide both reasons for and against the topic to maintain balance in your essay. 12:54 📄 Essay Length: While essays can exceed 300 words if necessary, aim to make your essay concise. Focus on clarity and coherence, ensuring all ideas are connected logically. Made with HARPA AI

Reading comments of people who have passed their exams is truly inspiring. I'm 17 and 2 years ago I got overall 6.5 from my IELTS exam with 5.5 from writing section. I've always struggled with writing because although I took it seriously I wouldn't put much effort into practicing. I'm two months from my second attempt (February 24th) and I'm dying to perform better this time. So, January 8th, I'm starting to work really hard on my writing skills. 47 days from today😅😅

One of the underated drawback to being self employed is human resources management. If you dont over a competitative salary to ur workers, you risk losing valuable once to rival. Poor performing workers would drive sales target low and make the business unsustainable.

Can we not give our opinion on academic writing task 1?? How much would it throw us down if we got all the important data in but gave reasons as to why changes in the data happened? Would it lower or score for task 1 to a 5 or could we still get a 6? Or is it just that it affects the task achievement component of the 4 criteria assessed?

[@tahmidahmed3926]

In task 2 I put the conclusion paragraph and followed everything correctly. However, I did not begin the paragraph as in conclusion/to conclude. Will the examiner take it as a closing paragraph or not ?
