The INTELLECTUALS / 9.0 (2x)

Don’t risk using synonyms you’re not fully familiar with Comprise and consist of are a good example. In a process description, they can be used in essentially the same way: ✅ The manufacturing process comprises 10 steps. ✅ The manufacturing process consists of 10 steps. However, you can’t interchange them when describing graphs: ✅ Italian students comprise 37% of the class ❌ Italian students consist of 37% of the class Do NOT use CONSIST OF when describing statistics The same applies to decrease and reduce In Task 2, both can be used with an object: ✅ The government should decrease taxes for new entrepreneurs ✅ The government should reduce taxes for new entrepreneurs But don’t assume that they are interchangeable when describing changes in a graph: ✅ The income level decreased in Malaysia from 65% to 44% ❌ The income level reduced in Malaysia from 65% to 44% Just because two words are synonyms in one structure doesn’t mean you can replace one with the other everywhere. @ieltsboyko

End your IELTS Speaking part 2 Like a pro ​Avoid ending your answer with weak fillers: ​❌ That's it. ​❌ That's all. ​❌ I've finished. ​❌ So yeah... ​❌ This is the end. ​Instead, wrap up your response with a meaningful, memorable conclusion: ​✅ "And that is precisely why I respect my cousin so much." ​✅ "All in all, it was a trip to Khiva that I will never forget" ​✅ "Hopefully, I'll have the opportunity to see this building in person one day" ​however, if the examiner interrupts you before you can conclude because your two minutes are up, don't panic! You can still achieve a high score without the ending. Just ensure you never say awkward exit phrases ("Men bo'ldim / Я как бы всё") if you run out of things to say before the time is up @ieltsboyko

In IELTS Listening, pay close attention to cohesive devices. In many cases, they can help you eliminate wrong answers and identify distractions. Look out for contrast and correction signals such as: • but • yet • however • though • although • even though • whereas • while • by contrast • in contrast • conversely • on the contrary • alternatively • despite • in spite of • even if • regardless of • rather than • instead These linking words often signal that the information mentioned just before or around them is not the final answer. So, don't fall for the first piece of information you hear. Listen for the linker and wait for the information that actually answers the question. @ieltsboyko

We can see seven paragraphs in this passage and ten headings on the next page. I'd start with paragraph B as it has only three sentences, and it's not hard to understand that the fifth heading should be chosen there. Then I'd read paragraph F which is a bit longer but not as big as other paragraphs. The right time, minute and other details help me to choose heading I. G paragraph would go third, and answer VIII is relevant there. So now I am ready to go to huge paragraphs but I have already found three easy answers, which means only seven headings remain in the list. Try it too: Small paragraphs first, big paragraphs last. This method helped me to get band 9.0 in reading within 30 minutes. @ieltsboyko

When working with Matching Headings questions, start with the shorter paragraphs. You can NEVER use the same heading more than once, so once you identify the correct headings for the shorter paragraphs, you’ll have fewer options to choose from for the longer ones. This can save you a lot of time and make the whole process much simpler. However, if you work through the paragraphs in order, you’re highly likely to exhaust yourself, waste valuable time, and make more mistakes. Choose the order yourself. Don’t just go with the flow. @ieltsboyko

Don’t give a general introduction in Speaking Part 1. Examiner: How often do you use a computer? Candidate: Computers play a crucial role in the lives of people today. It’s hard to imagine anyone without a laptop or desktop computer. I use it every day ❌❌❌ This answer is totally incoherent. The candidate is talking about computers first instead of answering the actual question. In Part 1, answer the question directly. Don’t go around the bush. Examiner: How often do you use a computer? Candidate: Every single day! You see, most of my homework is given online, so I gotta download lots of files sent by my teacher on a daily basis. ✅✅✅ The examiner asked “How often?” - give them a frequency first, then add a short explanation. @ieltsboyko

Don’t repeat the information from your Task 1 overview in your main body paragraphs. ❌❌❌ Overall, China experienced the largest increase in sales during the period, while Germany and France saw significant declines. To begin with, China witnessed the most significant rise... As for Germany and France, their sales dropped dramatically... ❌❌❌ The main trends have already been mentioned in the overview, so there’s no need to repeat them in the body paragraphs. Instead, state the trend in the overview and provide the evidence for that trend in the main body: ✅✅✅ Overall, China experienced the largest increase in sales during the period, while Germany and France saw significant declines. To begin with, China’s sales stood at 41% in the first given year... As for Germany and France, their sales initially made up 21% and 14%, respectively. ✅✅✅ • Overview = main trends • Body paragraphs = figures and evidence This makes your Task 1 response more concise and avoids unnecessary repetition. @ieltsboyko

50% of my career is behind me. God willing, I will teach 50 generations of students, and today, I’ve reached the halfway point. 25 generations behind. 25 more to go. 13 years of teaching have changed me in ways I could never have imagined when I started... I feel more experienced than ever before. But strangely, the more I learn, the more I realize how much there is still to learn. I don't want to simply teach another 25 generations. I want to give them everything these first 25 generations have taught me. Big thanks to everyone who has been part of this journey with me! @ieltsboyko

An overall Band 7.5 is an excellent IELTS achievement. But Band 8.0 in Speaking, thats just a whole different level! 8.0 in Speaking means demonstrating an exceptionally high level of fluency, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, confidence, and the ability to express ideas naturally It is a score that many IELTS candidates work towards for years,and only a small number manage to achieve Congratulations to you, Intellectuals @ieltsboyko

I feel truly blessed to work with a team of professional teachers who help our students achieve such outstanding results! Without their expertise and patience, many of these achievements simply would not have been possible.

Suffer and Struggle are NOT synonyms!!! These two words mean different things: Struggle: An active effort. You fight to reach a goal, learn a new skill, or fix a hard problem. It builds strength and brings growth. Suffer: A passive state. You feel hurt, sad, or sick without a clear way out. It drains your energy and leaves you feeling weak or helpless. Action vs. Pain Struggle has a purpose. You move forward and try to win. Suffering happens when pain has no control, no support, and no hope for change @ieltsboyko

8.5! Parizoda is a teacher we're proud to work with at the Intellectuals, and she's taken the test three times.There's something special about taking the exam again. You already know what it feels like to sit there, to wait for the result, to think about the things that could have been better. And then you have to find the courage to go through it all once more. Parizoda did. 1st attempt - 7.5 2nd - 8.0 3rd - 8.5 And this time, she got 8.5! All of us at The Intellectuals are incredibly happy for Parizoda. And according to the algorithm, her next score is definitely a 9.0! Congratulations once again, Parizoda! @ieltsboyko PS, looking forward to interviewing you soon

7.5 and we know what it took... We know there were moments when you started wondering whether you were capable of getting the score you wanted or not... But you kept going. And today, you have your 7.5! We're genuinely happy for you not just because of the number, but because we know how much effort is hidden behind it. You deserve this result. And honestly, I still believe 8.0+ is somewhere ahead of you. Congratulations, dear Intellectuals! @ieltsboyko
