Please take the exam again. I am sure visa officer will give you another chance.
Listening: During the exam circle the key words of the question.
Example: Which
part of the
dissertation Colin do
not like? If you circle which part,dissertation, not when you have time to look at question. During the tapescript you will understand what you must write. The answer could be literature review, data collection techniques, interview etc. Follow this procedure upto question 40. Between question 28-40 you must understand what you should write.
Writing: 1. Do not use any contraction e.g don't, can't. Write do not instead of don't.
2.Do not copy the line as in the question
3.Avoid repeating word. For instance, if you have used the word people. Write synonyms of people in the next sentence e.g. Citizen, human beings, residents etc.
4. Consider formal and informal writing.Example: I am very busy right now. Right now is informal word.You must write I am very busy at the moment/at present which is formal.
There are some more things to consider. I have just mentioned some according to your letter you typed.
Buy one Thesaurus which will provide you with a plethora of synonyms.
