#tips🤓 What to do if you got stuck with 5.0 band? That means your level is low intermediate and there are certain aspects you have to work on: 1.Grammar Remember it must be flawless if wish to get 6+ at least in each section, especially in writing and speaking Many candidates believe that grammar is not so necessary , in fact, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT 2.Poor vocabulary It is generally believed that you don't need to understand every single word in a passage. Perhaps you are right as long as you have upper-intermediate level of vocabulary, that means you know at least 3 synonyms for most of words, they mostly include adjectives and verbs. Thus, it is strongly advisable to learn at least 10-20 words a day. Plus,extra vocabulary from diverse articles related to science not stories like Harry potter but magazines like New scientist, The Economist and online articles that you can google anytime. 3. Comprehension and context Some people admit they have good vocabulary, still they can't manage to find the answers in the passages. That means a candidate focuses on new vocabulary only, whereas one must focus on overall meaning of each paragraph by reading widely rather than quickly. It is advisable to summarise each paragraph one by one plus get new vocabulary and use this vocabulary while summarizing. Likewise, Reading must be improved by reading at least one article a day not by doing tests often. By reading on a daily basis, you improve Reading speed, comprehension speed and contextual guessing skill (guessing unfamiliar words by using the context) 4.Dictionary addiction I see many candidates using dictionary everytime they see new words. That looks like drug addiction, in fact, context must be used to understand new words. This method works if you have reached upper level vocabulary. 5.Rush Most people prepare for IELTS or any other tests too late For example 2 or less months before the exam and want some magical teacher to promise them a great mark. Dear candidates, remember IELTS needs time as well first you learn and then practice tests not vice versa or other way. Like a person who recently graduated university can't get a good job without experience, same with IELTS. The recommended period for a person who has 5.0 and wishes to get 7.0+ is a year at least. (as most people are moderate learners. In rare cases this period can consist of 6 month but VERY RARELY. ✅✅✅Thus, don't believe in magic but in hard work and persistence. ✅✅✅ 6.Discipline It is essential to have a certain plan for each day. That means you must NOT just practice test every day but IMPROVE each skill. By doing all tests you will simply will run out of tests and have no progress. Another problem is that many people tell themselves - I'm gonna do IELTS homework when I have free time and often tell their teachers that they didn't have time for HW. If you don't have time for IELTS FORGET ABOUT IT and QUIT !!! 7. Unrealistic beliefs Get 7.0+ in 3 months or smth like that is garbage statement. This may happen if you have upper level at least So dont believe in magic THERE IS NO MAGIC BUT HARD AND PATIENT WORK ✅ 🔰 Discover IELTS Resources: 📚 Access Free IELTS Materials 🎓 Explore Paid IELTS Lectures 🧠 Learn IELTS Tips and Tricks 📖 Participate in Daily Vocabulary Quizzes Join us today: https://t.me/matrixielts

📌Your Guide To Magical Results In IELTS WRITING 🔍(Today’s focus is on the CONTENT OF PARAGRAPHS.) Everyone says you should give Extended Answers to get a high band score for task achievement. But how extended should they be? Let’s not talk about bands 0-4 because if these were your bands, you wouldn’t be reading this post now. So let’s focus on bands 5-9. Let’s imagine that we are writing an essay about health. I’ll try to show you the difference between bands using a simple example. At least, this example usually helped my students, so I assume that it can help you as well. 🖍Band 5: ‘Doing exercises is good for health.’ Comment: TOO GENERAL. What exercises? What does ‘good’ mean? So it’s 5. 🖌Band 6 ‘Doing exercises such as swimming and jogging is beneficial for health.’ Comment: NOT EXTENDED ENOUGH. We know what exercises are good but we still don’t know why they are good. Although ‘beneficial’ looks a bit better than just ‘good’, it doesn’t bear a lot of meaning. 🖋Band 7+: ‘Doing exercises such as swimming and jogging is beneficial for health. These exercises, if done regularly, stimulate a person’s cardiovascular system, leading to something bla-bla-bla. Another positive outcome is developing muscles + bla-bla-bla. Comment: FULLY EXTENDED. You say what is good for health, give examples of this good activity, explain why it is good, under what conditions, where and when. Now let’s analyse some real piece of writing. 📮Topic: Some people believe that zoos where animals are kept in man-made environment should no longer exist in the 21st century. Do you agree or disagree? 📌Main Body Paragraph 1: Undoubtedly, the main necessity zoos are created for is preserving rare species of animals from extinction. This includes research programmes aimed at breeding and expanding the populations of these species as it is in zoos that animals receive medical care, food and safety. One more beneficial function no one would dare to gainsay is providing shelter and care to those that are either too young or too weak to survive in the wild. For this reason, we can certainly say that if it weren’t for zoos, the majority of vulnerable animals would be doomed to death. 🧮ESSAY ANALYSIS: Comment: The first sentence presents the idea that zoos are important to preserve rare species of animals from extinction. It’s good. Then the second statement gives some explanation of how zoos can help to preserve rare species. This makes this paragraph more or less extended, so this essay can score 6 for task achievement. Now let’s read the second sentence one more time carefully. ‘bla-bla-bla...animals receive medical care, food and safety…’ What kind of medical care? Why is it important that they are fed in zoos? What does the author of this paragraph mean by ‘safety’? Let’s read the third sentence. ‘bla-bla-bla… too weak to survive in the wild’. Again, what threats do they have? Why does the author think that they won’t survive? 📊TASK ACHIEVEMENT: So, task achievement is definitely better than 5, but not so good to score 7. I guess task achievement here would be 6. 🔍COHERENCE & COHESION: This paragraph is fully coherent. The author uses both linking words and phrases such as ‘undoubtedly’, ‘for this reason’ and linking devices such as ‘this includes’, ‘one more beneficial function is…’. It would definitely score either 7 or even 8. 🔍VOCABULARY: Vocabulary is probably not good enough for 8, but it’s definitely worth 7. 🔍GRAMMAR: ‘are created’ (passive voice), ‘it is in zoos that animals receive…’ (cleft sentence), ‘providing’ (gerund), (either … or…), ‘if it weren’t for zoos, the majority of vulnerable animals would be doomed to death’ (conditional type 2) This would give 7 or even 8. If the whole essay was of the same quality, this would be 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 7,0 or even 6 + 8 + 7 + 8 = 7,5 🔰 Discover IELTS Resources: 📚 Access Free IELTS Materials 🎓 Explore Paid IELTS Lectures 🧠 Learn IELTS Tips and Tricks 📖 Participate in Daily Vocabulary Quizzes Join us today: https://t.me/matrixielts

📜IELTS Writing assessment criteria - explained in a simple way! What do IELTS examiners look at?  📋Task Achievement 🔖1) Your ideas should be relevant. This means that if you were asked about one specific thing, for example, about the way computers influence children's academic success, don't write about the advantages and disadvantages of using computers in general. Stick to the point! 🔖2) Your arguments should be extended. This means that a reader shouldn't be an expert in this topic, but your explanation should be so detailed that this person wouldn't have any questions after reading your essay. 🔖3) You must state your position, and it should be clear throughout the essay. 📋Coherence & Cohesion 🔖1) Your essay should be well structured. It should include the introduction, supporting paragraphs (usually 2 or 3) and the conclusion. Your reasoning should be presented in a logical way. 🔖2) Your essay should be really easy to read. So if there are too many long and complicated sentences which come one after another, the examiner will have to re-read some parts several times. As a result, you will be marked down. 🔖3) You should use linking words and phrases such as 'As a result' or linking devices such as 'This will lead to...' in order to help a reader follow your train of thought. 📋Vocabulary 📮1) You should use topical vocabulary. This is vocabulary that is suitable for some particular topic and cannot be used in any essay. For example, you can use the verb 'to argue' in all essays, so it's not topical, but the expression 'exhaust fumes' IS topical as it can be naturally used only in essays about environment or traffic. 📮2) The more complicated words, the better. But, again, don't overdo. It is enough to use 2 or 3 uncommon words per paragraph to show how clever you are. If there are too many of them, your essay will not read well, and the examiner will just think you are trying to impress them. 📋Grammar 🧷1) The fewer mistakes, the better. But don't think that examiners read your essays with a magnifying glass and pay attention to every minor mistake. Stop worrying about it. 🧷2) The more diverse and complicated structures you use, the better. I always say to my students that examiners do not have a clairvoyant ability. So if you don’t show in your essay that you can use a variety of grammatical structures, how can they know that you are a very knowledgeable student and deserve a high score? They can assess just what they can see.

🎧IELTS LISTENING:  HELP! I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE ACCENT ❌ The problem IELTS is an international test, so you might hear a range of different accents, including Australian, British, New Zealand and North American. Remember that you only hear the audio once in the Listening test so you need to be absolutely confident that you can pick out every detail first time. An unfamiliar accent can get in the way of that. While there will not be any extreme accents, you should at least be familiar with a range of ‘standard’ accents. ✅ The solution Start by reading this extract from a report from the US Library of Medicine: ‘It is well known that there is a processing cost when listening to speech in an accent other than one’s own, but recent work has suggested that this cost is reduced when listening to a familiar accent widely represented in the media, and/or when short amounts of exposure to an accent are provided.’ This means that ‘short amounts of exposure’ to an unfamiliar accent really can help you to understand it. So it’s sensible to spend some time listening to the most common dialects when you are preparing for the test. It’s not difficult to find 📻 radio stations online that enable you to do this. Here are some examples:👇 ABC Radio from Australia 🇦🇺 CBC Radio from Canada 🇨🇦 BBC Radio 4 from the UK 🇬🇧 It’s easy to find others, and you may even find it interesting to listen to some more unusual accents such as Louisiana or Caribbean. In fact, you can have lots of fun finding radio stations worldwide on tunein.com! 👉 Another approach is to listen to some TED talks. TED speakers come from many different countries, and often the talks have transcripts, so you can check the accuracy of your listening. Here are three examples from the Top 20 TED talks: Ken Robinson: How schools kill creativity  🇬🇧British accent Amy Cuddy: Your body language shapes who you are 🇺🇸 North American accent Pranav Mistry: The thrilling potential of SixthSense technology 🇮🇳 Indian accent
