Being an English, it is obvious you get 9 in speaking and listening because IELTS is a British Institute and all examiners being English too, you have an advantage. Writing is the real test of your skills.
It is not at all a luck factor. They have a very specific course and practice is the only way to get good scores. The essay you have mentioned is printed in every IELTS book and believe me it is the easiest of all. This question has been asked for many years repeatedly.
I have also had my education in U.K and I know everyone there, is weak in writing. The use of a, an, the .....is their main drawback.
JALT said:Hahahahahaha, yes but in my defence when I edit other people's work I'm usually not typing on my tiny phone
And how is answering "is the ageing population good or bad for Canadian society" an easy question to answer? Do you know if it's good or bad for society? Personally I know very little about social science...
Anyway, I was just trying to help the other posters feel better about their writing scores... I was being nice, but you're just being mean
And while we're at it....

At the end of the day, very few people can write grammatically perfect English when they are either under stressful conditions (e.g. a test) or are in a hurry (e.g. a test). You can practise as much as you like for the IELTS test, but it is still extremely difficult to get a perfect score on the writing. That is why I was trying to say to the other posters that they should not be too disheartened. The IELTS is hard for all participants. And yes, I will admit I did very little preparation for the test so it is my own fault, but in all honesty X-months later I still don't know how I would answer that particular question.
Ha ha, I can't believe you guys are dissecting a post on this forum for correct English. This is a forum... you are lucky we are not writing in 'text' shorthands (e.g. tbh, lol etc etc).Mr Optimist said:Agree with @bestofluck that scoring high in writing is tricky. What we usually don't pay much attention to but costs a lot for us in IELTS is, punctuation. And of course, prepositions and spellings ensure we never get the points we desire!!
That being said, my two cents on the sentence that is being edited so much in this thread.
Journal is a paper. No need to say "journal paper". And, editor is a designation/post. Editing is a task/activity. So, obviously supervisor was asking his subordinate to do the task, not assume the post. In addition to that supervisor was asking his subordinate to edit journals of more than one student. So it should be "students'" rather than "student's" (Didn't I tell you we screw ourselves up with punctuation! ).
So correct sentence would be, "My supervisor regularly asks me to edit his students' journals". Perhaps, more appropriate sentence would be - "My supervisor frequently asks me to edit his students' journals".
You're welcomeadore_amod said:Interesting conversation. Please continue.
Almost 20 times daily I am checking this website to figure out the progress of OINP.
With yours conversation, I will get free writing English classes.
LOl I never knew Truth is so bitter !!JALT said:Hahahahahaha, yes but when any person edits the work of other people they're usually not typing on a phone, or trying to multi-task. You have to give allowance for all writing on this forum

I dont know OINP will teach you english...But i am sure those who were dreaming to Become Canadian...will definitely end up becoming Comedian. 8) 8) 8)JALT said:You're welcome
Just don't learn from me apparently
Anyway, you would probably be able to teach English at University level by the time OINP give us our nominations!
I am a May 2016 applicant (under an extension for circumstances). I also check these threads for news of any OINP progress. It's depressing. I will have retired by the time I get my AOR and be senile by the time I get PR. I have honestly just given up hope.
