Hi, I just want to say thank you to you guys, I watched your videos, did the free trial exam practice on your website and I wrote ielts for the first time 30th March 2023 in my country Nigeria and my results are; speaking 9, listening 7.5, reading 7.5 and writing 7. To be honest, I was very scared of writing as this is not a place I tend to excel but I got the required band I need as a doctor and I’m very happy. Thank you. To the new people, I just want to say the exam isn’t as difficult as we think it is. Just practice, read more essays and you’ll do great

[@adakuotosi1536]

I applied the tips. Mastered the vocabularies for different topics,so I didn't repeat any new word more than twice. Used complex sentences at all least two in each paragraph as well as compound ones. Spent 5 mins proof reading and carefully checking my punctuations and spellings. Wrote clearly.

[@cold_rainy_day1774]

To sum up: 1. Don't start your essay without making notes about what you're going to write 2. Read the statement carefully, to cover all points in your essay 3. Avoid word and idea repetitions and mechanical linking 4. Develop your ideas in a well-structured way 5. Us a variety of sentence types 6. Show your knowledge of specific vocabulary related to the topic 7. And all this is a matter of practice, so practice, practice as much as you can (btw use also some phrasal verbs )

@@altevious01-fg7ce Well after all it is a matter of training - I always read scientific papers for my studies. Most papers for computer science are written in English and not in German (my native language). The only real advise I can give you is start by reading the questions just the first few and look for specific things in the text that are related to the questions - I prefer to highlight the things and after finishing the passage look at the highlighted points and ask yourself: Do they answer the question or do I need to look for something else?

[@xiaohanma2584]

Coming back to this video 3 weeks later I think that at 1:37 what needs to be highlighted is "discuss both views". You only need to do so when asked to (I think?). I was new to Ielts and this is one of the first video I watched about it. It somehow made me think that I always need to expand upon the statement (which I now think is not true, correct?) Looking at the sample test from Ielts website. In writing 2A it says: In Britain, when someone gets old they often go to live in a home with other old people where there are nurses to look after them. Sometimes the government has to pay for this care. Who do you think should pay for this care, the government or the family? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Am I right in thinking that all I need to do is to stick to the question, i.e., "who do you think should pay", "reasons", and "examples"? No need to talk about both views and how Britain does it, right?

Anyone with good writing knowledge ? Lets evaluate our essays. There is an opinion that opportunities must be provided equally to both men and women. This essay agrees with this viewpoint for two reasons. This essay will first discuss how working women add monetary value and then discuss why it is a moral injustice to deprive them of their goals. Firstly, when a woman is involved in professional fields, she brings financial benefits to her family. Unlike in the past, when women were expected to be confined to their household activities, they are now embraced in different professional fields because of their ability to work in extreme situations. Professions such as receptionists and nurses, for instance, offer great value to people's lives, and women are the only ideal choice to meet the demands and challenges of these jobs because of their soft skills in communication and emotion handling. Therefore, the financial needs of the family can be fulfilled only if women are also breadwinners. Furthermore, by not allowing them the chance to work, we snatch away their moral rights as individuals. In other words, everyone, whether male or female, has dreams and aspirations to achieve goals and success in their lives, and if given the opportunity, women can do as well as men, if not better. Florence Nightingale and Mother Teresa, for example, would not have had their work recognised if they had been stopped from pursuing their dreams. This illustrates that it is morally incorrect to suffocate their desires just because they were traditionally seen as homemakers and child nurturers. To sum up, this essay believes that there are two primary reasons why women should be given the same chance to work as men. Firstly, they generate a reliable source of income for their household. In addition, eluding them from their rights would be morally wrong.
