Hi ____, You are composing sentences that are too complex for your skill level. As an example, let's dissect your first supporting paragraph: The Idea of having a single career is becoming an old fashioned one because technology now a days providing the platform to know, how a particular field is in...

Hi Bunni, As I stated before, I think you are attempting to use grammatically structures that are too complicated for your skill level. Please don't fall into the trap of thinking that the only way to score well on the exam is to write long, elaborate sentences. I've seen people score as high as ban...

Hi Ryan, Thanks for validating the letter. I'll try to follow your suggestions. I am still, in the process of grasping the content that you have uploaded in your YouTube channel. However, The tidings is that, I had already appeared for the IELTS exam on September 21st, 2013 in India. I am eagerly w...

Hi Ashwin, Your essay is much to personal in tone. Using pronouns and asking rhetorical questions make your essay read as though it were a letter. Thus, instead of lines like "we read in the newspaper...", try "many newspapers report...". Your thesis isn't clear. The question ask...

Hi Lakdas,

Wow. Those are some incredible scores. Congratulations! I'm happy to hear you were able to finally get your 7. What were the strategies you followed in the reading section?

Hi Bunni,

I'm sorry to hear the disappointing news. Try to stay positive. What were the questions you faced in the different parts of the exam?

Hi Ashwin, You use a lot of very personal language in your essay (i.e. we, our, I). This makes your essay read like a letter. The examiner would not appreciate the lack of academic tone. There are also several grammatical issues. Plural use is an area in need of improvement. I think the examiner wou...

In an interview I conducted for IELTSCast, Toby shared with me that part of the secret to his 8.5 in reading was learning to speed read using Tony Buzan's material. You can find this material and more on YouTube (just do a simple search). Before you start practicing, however, try this test to check ...

Of course. I should have recognised you from your email.

Let's hope for good news.

Thanks Ryan, for your best wishes. This is a classical example that how a person as an examiner can dent your carrier. I cannot express the mental harassment , I underwent . On the other hand , people like you , who are doing selfless service to students . There should be some audit system to check...

Those are some great resources, Anna. Thank you for sharing them. I will include them as part of my newsletter next week.

Thank you very much for your kind words, Tina. I also feel very fortunate to be able to connect with people all around the world via these websites. Your speaking mark is quite extraordinary. A 1.5 band jump after reevaluation? The original examiner must have been asleep at the wheel. ;) I wish you ...
