Hi, In my opinion the letter does not address the question part "what can be done to make sure this problem never occurs again"? . If you are allowed to sit in course for free , problem will not get solved, it is still there. Good use of vocab, but i am not sure "You see" is a c...

thanks for the suggestions. I can understand why my voice sounds stressful and fluency suffers, It's because of I was trying to fit in a large speech in 2 minutes. So I'll try to relax a bit more next time.

Write a letter to a college Principal, where you attended a one day computer course and are unhappy about the way it was conducted. Explain what was the type of the course, what happened and what can be done to make sure this problem never occurs again. Dear Principal, I am writing to express my dis...

Sounds right

People today often buy new things instead of fixing the old things. Discuss the causes and effect of this.(what are the causes of this trend? What do they effect on themselves and others?) Ever since the genesis of industrialization, people’s lifestyles have gone through paradigm shift. This is evid...

Thanks a lot, David.

Hi, David, hope you're doing good. I just wanted to ask how many words are too much in ielts writing task 1 and 2? For instance, are 340words for task 2 essay are acceptable?

Regards

For a first attempt, it's an amazing essay. You seem to have thorough understanding of grammatical mechanics such as commas,hyphens etc. Native speaker, I guess?

In my judgemtn this essay will get around 7-8 bands

Thanks a bazillion, I will keep those points in mind while practicing especially about conclusion and pronunciation.

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). ...

Some believe that global warming is the most pressing environmental problem which we have at the moment, others believe that deforestation has a more devastating impact on our world. Discuss both sides and give your opinion. Ever since the dawn of industrialization, world’s environment has been chan...

I'm also curious about it. Let's hope some examiner shares insights on this soon

David, I think he meant the simulation of real speaking tests/mock exams, which are available in abundance on Youtube

Hi Terry, I guess you missed the "article" in both the sentences. ..and as [a] result enjoy a higher degree.. ..ever since the initiation of [the] women’s rights" (already pointed out by Matthews sir) Thanks! oh I see. Thanks for pointing out. I can't believed I missed it ;-)

Hi thanks a lot Dr.Matthew. Since my target band is 8 that means I still need work.

Could you please tell me what's wrong with my this sentence?
" and as result enjoy a higher degree"

and this one

" ever since the initiation of [the] women’s rights"

Thanks once again.

Some people think that it is better to educate boys and girls in separate schools. Others, however, believe that boys and girls benefit more from attending mixed schools. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. The topic of whether boys and girls should be taught in mixed schools has bee...

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...

Nice essay. One thing though, Ryan is of opinion that you should avoid personal pronouns like I,we,our to make your writing sound more academic.

Hi, don't you think '386 words' is too long?

Nice speech, flawless fluency. And the best part (at least for me) was that you have a neutral accent, which makes it very easy to understand. I just have to say one thing about it. You said something along the lines of "government is well aware of this facility". As far as I'm concerned, ...

Hello Terry, An excellent question to kick off with! The answer is that candidates must use the exact words from the passage in their answers. (This is the case in the example you mentioned.) If this is not possible (e.g. it would make the answer grammatically incorrect), the correct form of the wo...

First of all, I would like to thank Ryan for taking this initiative to introduce this sub-forum. My question is related to reading section. Is it okay to write synonyms in answers of reading test? For example, in one of the reading tests in cambridge ielts 9, I wrote discounts whereas the answers ha...

Hello Terry, as suggested, I would view your essay in that 'hot zone': 7.5-8...as you would realize by now, IELTS examiners are NOT in a hurry to award higher level band results, partly because if an examiner is seen to consistently award highly they are called to account; their work is scrutinized...
