Hi, guys! I'm going to select 10 'hot essay topics' for further preparation to IELTS General Training module. I just wonder if anybody has a list of topics for Task 2 (preferably Task 1 as well) from the past exams (at least 1 year old or 2 years old+). If you have, please share! I suppose it is not...

Hi, terry! It's been truly enjoyable to read such the elaborate writing! Indeed a good job! If you allow me to add some critique, please, note: 1) In 'Introduction' you never say what exactly will be looked at (I mean a brief content of your paragraphs is expected here or at least the main ideas). I...

Hi, guys! Today I'm here to post my first 2 out of 10 essays on 'hot topics' needed to prepare for General Training exam.

Hi! Many thanks to Flick and Dr. Matthew! All your comments have been thoroughly taken on board! I felt the writing was rather crude because of lack of experience and rusty vocabulary, but with your kind assistance I step-by-step learn what IELTS examiner is really expecting from me to award me a hi...

Hi, again! I'm wondering if I can spend 30-sec time (given for revising answers) for a section to look at questions from the next section? What exactly am I allowed to do? For example, can I spread all the pages of all sections out and read questions from the very beginning when an announcer starts ...

Well, I'm going to transfer this question to "Ask an examiner" section. http://www.ieltsnetwork.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=5154 As far as I understood, you can spend 30-sec time as you see fit, looking at next the questions, dreaming, sleeping, dancing, etc. However, you can't open your ...

Thank you Flick for such the deep analysis! With your help, I've detected weak points of my writing style and I started to really learn how to write gorgeous essays. I'll certainly carry out an analysis of other essays that you've rectified, before I appear here with a new one so as not to repeat ot...

Is there anybody who took General training on this date?
I'd like to know Writing and Speaking questions.
Please, do me favor, share this piece of information!

Hi, dear IELTS teachers.
Could you confirm validity of this online converter: http://ielts.calculator.free.fr/
I just want to correctly convert my answers into IELTS band scores! Is there any official converter available in the Net?
Thank you for your reply.

Hi, don't you think '386 words' is too long? Yeah, I do. The thing is that it was my first essay and I just tried to express my thoughts worrying only about grammar and content and not paying attention to the length. I'll try to condense it and apply some of tips and hints from this forum. Thank yo...

Thank you Flick for the detailed critique! All of this is thoroughly noted!

Great thanks, Dr. Matthew , for your constant support and precious advice! That made me fear less of Listening section at least!! 8-) I. I got acquainted with your brochure for Listening and found I used to deal with that section differently. I thoroughly worked though each type-script after taking ...

Thank you, Dr. Matt for the valuable advice! I should get acquainted with your methodology. I liked your idea to get prepared in one month only. I suppose I'll do it in the summer, when I have some free time and can dedicate it to my IELTS preparation. I hope I'll get the hang of Listening at last! ...

My average score is 6.0 (22-24 out of 40), my worst result 5.5, best result ever 7.0, (happened only once!!!). I've done all the training Listenin...

Hi, guys! Yesterday I simulated my IELTS exam (Cambridge IELTS 5.2) at home, and took sequentially Listening, Reading and Writing test.

Hi, everyone! I've been practicing with essay-writing lately and here are some results to be evaluated. First I must confess I've spent more than an hour for this task, thinking up the story, but it's OK as long as I'm just practicing now. Also, I spent some time studying the problem (Task 2) in the...
