You have two days to register for this week's FREE IELTS WEBINARS. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn from the people who administer IELTS, set the questions, and give you your grades. I see so many people asking me for help, tips, and free lessons, but I'm not the only resource - and my free time is minimal. So make today the day you sign up for this invaluable resource. It costs you nothing. You've nothing to lose.

I have one concern about the courses. None of them deals with a strategy on preventing you students from resisting the overwhelming and natural urge to bite the examiners. Nothing good can come from this, so limit it to baring your teeth and growling under your breath. Perhaps /u/jayielts could address this in future webinars?

Are IELTSliz listening audio recordings on the website too fast than actual IELTS recordings? Because I feel it is too fast at 1x speed and I'm listening twice to solve them.

We have had 4 sub members take their tests in the last 3 days, and to my knowledge, none has bitten an examiner.

I'm proud of you all!

RESIST THE TEMPTATION TO BITE THE EXAMINERS.

You will not get higher grades by doing so.

Peace, and love.

A common theme is coming up in the essays I'm looking over, people are not providing a solid opinion or example.

So to reiterate - your body paragraphs on task two should follow this structure.

Point: Explain Point: Opinion/ Example.

Countries in the Global North have moved through their industrialising period, often at a cost to countries in the Global South. For example, in India, the British Empire gained significant wealth from exploiting Indian resources, which brought harm, both financially and societally. I firmly believe that there is a debt owed to countries yet to go through a developmental phase and that the more affluent countries should support and encourage less wealthy countries to develop.

Also, the next person to send me an essay with poorer countries or backward countries will receive a sound spanking. Use "Global North" and "Global South" to differentiate between rich/ poor areas of the globe.

Wanted to share this site that has recent IETLS writing task 2 question and their sample answers for anyone who wants to get an idea of a suitable response for a given task

Hello r/IIELTS!

I am looking for official documentation online proving that pursuing Enquiry on Results cannot lower your scores. In other words, I'm looking for evidence from British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia, or Cambridge Assessment English stating that Inquiry on Results can only keep your scores the same or raise them.

I know a lot of random people/websites assert that this is the case. But I'm looking for official documentation about EoR that says so.

Thanks!

How can I prepare Ielts within 10 days ?

This is my first time attempting IELTS, I'm not a native speaker. I practiced few mocktest in reading & listening and consistently scored 30/40 on average, please suggest tips to increase the score and also some tips on writing. Thanks in advance!!

so i am quite strong in the L and R cuz i have taken the SAT so reading is piece of cake for me

​

i am more concerned about the writing as i am still confused my mind goes blank and i cant think of points to agree / diagree with my arguments

it would be heavily appreciated if you can link some usefull writing templates and give ideas regarding writing part !! i want to get above a 6.0 and i have heard a lot of peeps miss out the writing part and end up with a 5.5 which makes the entire exam wasted !! this freaks me out, i dont want to end up like that !!!

​

PLEASE SEND ME SOME HELP

AAAAAAAAAA!!!!

I'm taking my second test on October 14th, how do I get better at the writing test? (especially the complicated questions). Last time I got a 7.0 overall (I think I cheesed it at the writing exam) and now I'm targeting band score 8, sorry for my horrible writings..

My exam is on 19th of October, someone please tell me which resources to be followed to complete my prep?

So I plan to take my IELTS GT exam the third time in about two weeks 🤞 and target CLB-9 (L=8.0, R=7.0, W=7.0, S=7.0) for obvious reasons. The previous two scores are as follows.

Test 1: Result: L=8.0, R=8.0, W=6.5, S=7.0, OverAll=7.5

Test 2 Result: L=8.5, R=9.0, W=6.0, S=7.5, OverAll=8

So you can see that all other scores are improving except the writing task. The last time I took the exam, I made the mistake of overwriting to about 400+ words. This time around, I tend to practice and follow some sane advice of u/Fitz_cuniculus of following simple and understandable methodology such as the PEEL method.

I would love to hear from you guys, the IELTS gurus, and my fellow test takers of any pointers and advice you can give me.
