    @baxa1981 and @cansha Are you talking about examiners? I' ve not known this fact. 40 essays in a couple hours is an overwhelming task. What will happen with the ones that are marked when examiners are exhausted, like the 30th to 40th ones? An Australian teacher who offers correction services...

    Now you know. Just take a look around websites that teach ielts. They all have some differences in structure, approach to essay questions, viewpoint about how is clear or balanced... Even the two ex-examiners that are Simon and Mat Clark have differences. Cambridge, IDP and BC claim that all...

    You may wanna post some essays here or buy the correction service before sitting real exams. Some native teachers offer services of 7-7.5 usd per essay. 220*6=1320 usd! I can not afford that figure. Although services do not mean you'll attain the same band scores, the teachers who offer the...

    As you said you occasionally got 7.5 in listening skill and you'd like to try CBP, I'd like to tell you that in Computer- base test, the listening test DO NOT have the example in section 1, which means you have less time for reading questions before jumping in the recording. At the end, you will...

    Yes, I kinda agree with you Hope I understand that you had spent a large amount of money and time for this scam. It's bullshit, really, but we have to accept its rule. Damn it. If I had to choose, I'd rather like your rudeness instead of loosing money and more importantly, precious time...

    Hi guys One of my problems is the lack of ideas, both main and supporting ones. I believe the best way to improve this weakness is reading sample essays and news. However, I also think that I need to build my vocabulary repertoire that is suitable for ielts essays. Therefore, I should read and...

    I'm still struggling so I can not assess your essay, but I wanna discuss in order to boost my study. First, do we have to indicate problems relating to environment, population and education - all three sections - to ensure the Task Response? Or we can discuss about what we wanna? Second, it asks...

    Dear Cansha, I wish I could give you a hug. Nope, a thousand hugs. I'm absolutely agree that essays are subjective but that's much. I have read materials from Simon, Chris Pell (ieltsadvantage), Pauline Cullen, and now Ryan Higgins. Their recommendations are different. For example: # Simon said...

    Thank Hope and Cansha, your comments are precious. I was taught that I should write something general about the topic, in this essay is children'development, to lead in an essay. Haizz, my teacher even taught us to write 4 sentences for introduction. I find it redundant. For the lack of...

    Thank you. I asked because I believe that there are some requirements like this: "what are the reasonS?", "what problemS..." and I have to answer at least 2 ideas. One more scenario is when I can not think of in-depth supporting ideas or explanations, I resort to writing two ideas, some topics...

    IELTS - Writing - For Band 7 or Above.

    So, Hope, if I write 2 ideas in one paragraph, these two HAVE TO be explained in the same depth? I mean, for example, the same number of words (approximately). In case of a discussion essay, there is one paragraph (one view) that I only discuss and another that I agree with, do I HAVE TO write...

    Dear Cansha and friends, Here is my original essay. I had expected it would be a good one, but my teacher gave me 6.5. Then I stop writing. I wrote this essay in 2 hours because my approach is writing a good essay first, then reducing writing time. When I paste the remarked essay, it can not...

    Hello friends, Please help me to solve my problems with writing. 1. I'm absolutely clueless after reading the essay title. I'm introverted. My nation is ruled by communism, citizens rarely ask for something or propose social plans. For some topics that I'm keen on like Nature, Environment...

    Dear Cansha, 15000cad means a lot to my budget. I even can not afford 10 times sitting the ielts exam. "ONLY" means that I don't have to worry about ielts and the period of processing documents if I apply FSW any more, so I can concentrate on other tasks. You know, when I read the story about...

    Just one more question for those who are standing at 6.5 writing many times. Have you ever written in the paper when registering the exam that your purpose is not migration, maybe work, private reason, promotion... Or maybe, they have already saved your data on preceding times?
