Speaking and Writing task 2 inquisition
Posted: Fri Oct 13, 2017 1:50 pm
Hello dear reader
My questions targets 2 aspects of IELTS , firstly , I would like to know whether I lose any speaking mark solely based on 1 pronunciation mistake and the definition of " slip " as it is cited in the assessment criteria .
my 2nd question is regarding the new way of evaluation if any , on writing task 2. Recently many of my countrymen complain about the fact that there is a huge discrepancy between their speaking band score and their writing band score ( I myself scored 8.5 in speaking and only 5.5 in writing ) , in 2008 about 9 years ago I managed to score 8 in my writing and yet 9 years later , with all the practice and the time I put into excelling in English , I scored 5.5 , I would like to know if there are different ways of assessment in this regard , am I missing something that I scored so low ?
thanks for your time
