Hi Lilie. I followed everything you taught and got a 7.5 for writing (overall 8.5). Thank you so much

[@LilieIELTS]

Fantastic! Really happy for you!

[@zahidhasankhoka1649]

Assalamualaikum, Wei. Can you give me some suggestions to do well in ielts. I will be grateful to you😊. Actually, I can't know how to start my preparation 🥹. Advanced thanks.

[@ketumwei6956]

@Zahid Hasan Khoka Hi Zahid. I would suggest starting by familiarising yourself with all four sections of the IELTS test (number of questions, time allocated, types of questions...). Then, look for sample questions/ videos on the Internet and practise as much as you can. I would recommend preparing in this order: listening ----> reading ----> speaking ----> writing. I left speaking and writing as the last two sections as they are more "format-heavy," and doing them closer to the test date can prevent you from forgetting important info such as how to write your intro, body paragraphs and conclusion (writing) and points to use when asked about certain topics (speaking). I hope this makes sense, and I wish you all the best.

[@ryonouis2095]

hi, from which sources were you practising your reading? because i do good at cambridge books but for example sites like miniielts, i do really bad

[@zahidhasankhoka1649]

[@chahanahegde652]

1 thing i don't understand is...how are we supposed to know that the eggs get hatched in 2-3 months and not 5-6. Don't we only have to go by the given data? and it wont be possible to know about every topic. :/

[@LilieIELTS]

Yes, you are right. The best we can hope for is that if we write something wrong because the chart is misleading, we won't be marked down.

[@LilieIELTS]

One more thing, the diagrams don't show that the eggs hatch after 5-6 months, but it does mislead us to believe so.

[@nyanlinhtun6598]

It is not mentioned in the diagram that the adults die after they spawn plus some fish really travel back to the ocean as adults. So adding all the periods and using the word lifespan here may be misunderstanding.

[@user-ww3zn6xx9p]

Hi Lilie.i really appreciate everything u taught to us .could u create a multiple choice in reading related video.

Why here passive voice used same time in silk production present simple tenses was used

[@muntasirmk6786]

As this is a cyclical process why did you not use the cyclical stage like use & reuse of recycling plastic bottles in overview?? Pls kindly answer

[@LilieIELTS]

I'm glad that you asked. Unlike plastic recycling where the plastic bottles are made into new plastic bottles, salmon do not become new salmon. In the end they die. A single organism doesn't technically "complete" a cycle unless you believe in reincarnation. In short, a life cycle is not the same as a manufacturing cycle. Does this make sense?

[@lsmagar]

How the life span of salmon is 9 years? After 9 years it becomes adult salmon? (4 to become smolt + 5 to become adult)

[@adebowaleayodele6702]

Good day, I just did my IELTS exam but In the writing task 2, after writing my conclusion I wanted to add another sentence to it but I was unable to finish the sentence. The sentence remain just one word to be complete. Won't it affect my score badly.

[@LilieIELTS]

I don't think it will. Don't worry about it too much.

[@kshitijwalwaikar5968]

How much did you score?

[@LanAnhNguyen-kw5hl]

teacher plz help me "fry which measure" why "measure" no "s" ?

[@LilieIELTS]

The plural form of "fry" is also "fry", not "fries".

[@theweeknd8087]

there are lots of unknown words that require necessary but ı don't know most words. How can I struggle with it?

[@LilieIELTS]

You will get better as you learn and practice. For example, if you practice the life cycle of the salmon, you will become better at describing the life cycle of any other species.

Completely disagree that you cant write wrong since the alevin part is missing .Its not a science exam , its an English exam, You need to describe what is written in the diagram , they are checking for grammar and vocabulary structure not your science knowledge

[@shahrukhthatisenough]

May be you should speak little bit slowly. It wouldn't be easy for everyone to understand. Especially for the new comer. Other than you did great. Keep shining.

Sorry about that. Every time I watch my videos, I was like why I speak so fast!

[@chahanahegde652]

you can just slow the youtube video.

[@pranabroy4860]

I completely disagree with the use of average lifespan because in the process it is showing till adult only.If you are using average life span it means it is living for 9 years. But in the process it displays it become adult in 9 years.
