One of the IELTS writing examiners that works with us wrote this piece on how to write an IELTS Task 2 There are a number of ways to write a Task 2 but this is by far the easiest if you are aiming for Band 7.0+ 1.  Structure. Only write 4 paragraphs.  An introduction, 2 body paragraphs of equal length and a conclusion.  2.  Understand what the question is asking you to do. If the question says • Do you agree or disagree? • To what extent do you agree? • What is your opinion? then you only need to focus on your position.  You do not have to balance the essay and discuss both sides.  Only when the question asks you to do this do you have to do so. 3.  In body paragraph 1, introduce 1 idea (no more), extend it, then add a real-life example to support it in as much detail as you can. Then do the same in body paragraph 2. 4.  Your introduction and conclusion should be concise. You don’t get any marks for your introduction/conclusion so don’t spend too long on them.  Most of the Task Achievement marks are from your body paragraphs. 5.  Timing is very important. You need to plan for 5-10 minutes, write for 20-25 minutes and most importantly, reread and edit your work for 5 minutes to correct some of the errors. After you have done this a few times and have got used to doing it, writing Task 2 will become easier. _________________________________ Once you can do this in 40 minutes then you are ready to have someone check your IELTS writing.

​​🤷‍♂A lack of ideas leads to repitition 🔄 Common problem: People often tell me they don’t know what to write about in writing task 2 and they find it hard to get ideas. When candidates don’t know what to write about, the result is often at least one paragraph where the same idea is repeated over and over. This type of writing will keep you stuck at band 6 or 6.5. Here is an example from an essay I was sent recently. I have corrected the language errors so that you can focus only on the ideas. 📝Picture below:👇 The paragraph begins well but the main idea is not developed. Instead, the same idea is repeated and even presented as though it is an ‘example’. This shows why using a fixed template to create a paragraph is not enough. It also provides a good example of  band 6 task response: ”…the conclusions may become …repetitive.” SOLUTION: Develop good thinking strategies for the test If you need to score band 7 or above, in the test, you must 🔽 👉 form an opinion about the issue raised in the question 👉 explain your opinion to the examiner and 👉 produce a balanced argument showing that your opinion is justified and well thought-out Here are some ideas to help you develop these skills: 💡think about the issue from your own perspective – how does it affect your life now or in the future? 🤔 if it does not affect you personally, does it affect a friend or someone in your family? Does it affect your town or businesses nearby? 💁‍♂ how do you feel about this? 🔰#Official #Pauline_Cullen 👩‍🏫 @ielts_weekly

​​How should I manage my time in the reading test ? Time is a key part of the reading test.  A Band 8 or 9 candidate can skim read or speed-read a passage a lot faster than a Band 4 or 5 candidate. Your ability to quickly read the passages and locate the relevant information to answer the questions is one of the reading skills being assessed.  So it is important to have a strategy for the test and to practice the skills of skim reading and scanning a passage.   Remember also that you need to transfer all of your answers onto a separate answer sheet within the 60 minutes that you have.  You are NOT given any extra time for this at the end. It is very important to make sure that you don’t make any mistakes when you are transferring your answers and that you don’t make any spelling mistakes.   One question I’m often asked is whether you should start by reading the questions first.  My advice is to only very quickly look at the questions just to satisfy your curiosity and no more.  You will absolutely NOT be able to ‘guess’ any answers or answer the questions without reading the passage.  This is a common problem with practice tests that aren’t written by trained exam writers.  In the IELTS test, you will have to read the passage to find out the information you need, so reading the questions in detail first will be confusing and may make you feel anxious about what you don’t know.  It is also a waste of very valuable time.   The images below👇show what I think is the best way to use your time in the reading test. 👩‍🏫 @ielts_weekly

Sen ham blog boshlasang bo‘ladi "Menga kerak emas" dema - kerak! Buyuk ishlar qarorlardan hosil bo‘ladi. Qarorlar esa fikrlarning mahsuli. Demak fikrlaring qancha kuchli/to‘g‘ri/original bo‘lsa, qarorlaring va keyinchalik ishlaring/natijalaring ham shunday ketadi.  Inson miyasiga bir kunda 1000ga yaqin fikr kelarkan. To‘g‘ri, hammasi ham yorvoradigan idealarmasdir (do‘stimga qo‘ng‘iroq qilishim kerak - bu ham bir fikr), lekin shundan nechtasini sen fiksatsiya qilib (yozib) qo‘yasan?  Fikrlaring sifatini oshirish uchun ularni yozishdan boshlasang bo‘ladi. Avval bitta o‘quvchi - o‘zing bo‘lasan. Keyin sekin ommaga olib chiqishni boshlaysan. Hech qanday fikrlar kelmasa shunchaki qilayotgan ishlaringni yozib borasan.  Ishni telegramda kanal (qalb shuuri, bahor ilhomi deb emas, o‘z isming bilan) ochishdan boshlaysan (2,5 sekund ketadi). Fikrlaring bilan to’ldirasan. Do‘stlaring va oilangni taklif qilasan. Odam soniga birinchi yil umuman ahamiyat bermaysan. Yozayotgan narsang foydali/ilhomlantiruvchi/original/kulgili bo‘lishiga harakat qilasan.  Uyog‘iga sodir bo‘ladigan jarayonlarni ko‘rib chiqamiz: 1. Odamlar qiziqib bitta-bitta blogingga qo‘shilishni boshlashadi 2. Sen esa qiziqib ketib o‘z ustingda ishlashni boshlaysan, kitob o‘qiysan, boshqa kanallarni kuzatasan, maslahatlar olasan.  3. Natijada fikrlashing darajasi oshib yana-da qiziqroq postlar yozishni boshlaysan.  4. Kelajakda kanaldan topishing mumkin bo‘lgan 250 so‘m qiziq emas. Qizig‘i fikrlaring endi nafaqat o‘zingga balki yana bir necha (yuz, ming) odamga maʼqul bo‘la olyapti - demak ularning sifati ancha oshgan.  5. Juda kuchayib ketib, foydang ko’pchilikka tegayotganini sezsang, boshqa platformalarga (Youtube, tik-tok) ga o’tishni boshlaysan 6. Tabriklayman sen endi blogersan, unutma sen bu yo‘lga boshqalarni o‘zgartirish uchun emas o‘zingni o‘zgartirish (o‘stirish) uchun chiqqansan  Blog yuritishning boshqa foydalari: -Qilmoqchi bo‘lgan va qilayotgan ishlaringni bo‘lishib borganing uchun masʼuliyat oshib yarim yo‘lda tashlab ketishlar kamayadi  -Fikrlaringni bitta-bitta odamlarga tushuntirib yurmaysan, atrofingdagilar kanalingdan qanday odamligingni bilib olaverishadi -Yangi tanishlar orttirasan va ular hayotingga kutilmagan imkoniyatlar/bilimlar/fikrlar olib kiradi (misol uchun - menga kuniga 10ga yaqin odam yozadi) Va eng muhimi, yuqorida aytganimdek, odam soni boshida umuman ahamiyatga ega emas. Meni blogimda 1 oy davomida bir o‘zim, 2 oy davomida 10 kishi (bir o‘zim zerikib ketib oila aʼzolarimni qo‘shib chiqqandim), 4 oy davomida 80 kishi bo‘lgan.  Xo‘sh boshlaysanmi blog endi jigar? 💪 @azizrakhimov_blog

#writingessay Top 3 tips from IELTS examiners 1. Introduce the debate and state your position concisely. (Remember, the introduction is not in the criteria so don’t waste time on it) 2. Two body paragraphs containing one idea in each. Extend each idea and support it with a real-life (or invented) example that is detailed) 3. Conclusion. Again, concise. If you see that your intro or conclusion is as long as one of your body paragraphs, then you know you have done something wrong. P.s. The first tip made me shock.

KUNDUZIY TOP! Recently, I read an article about medicine and came across the phrase placebo effect- a common topic in IELTS exams. Here, KUNDUZIY made a new video and explored all shi**y facts about the placebo/effects https://youtu.be/5SwhRhxfCKA

Here is an example of a Band 9.0 Task 2. It is 293 words long so a bit long for what most people are able to produce. I don’t recommend writing more than this unless you are a very high user of English. Band 9.0 is just native or native-like level English that fully answers the question i.e. you don’t need to add anything else to the essay. You need to write in a logical way and support your ideas, much like you have to do in the speaking exam in Part 3. See what you think... Many people today think that dangerous sports should be banned. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words. Band 9 example _________________________ Nowadays, people have the opportunities to play a wide range of sports, yet, for some, there is a need to add an element of danger to their ‘play’. I feel that these high-risk sports should be banned as people get hurt unnecessarily, which is a burden for families and hospitals too. One sport that has grown in popularity is called ‘street luge’. It is whereby people race down mountain roads lying on a skateboard and reach speeds of up to 100 km an hour. I read an article in the New York Times about how this sport had led to the deaths of 57 deaths of predominantly young men in the last 4 years as there were very few regulations and protective equipment was used reluctantly. To me this is such a waste of life and we wouldn’t have lost so many young men if this sport had been banned. Further to this, dangerous sports and the injuries/deaths that arise from doing them take their toll on hospitals too. To take another example, in the Verdon Gorge in France, tens of thousands of people go there every year to free climb the limestone cliffs. This has led to the local hospitals being overwhelmed with injuries at times as well as helicopter medical crews putting their lives in danger as they have to collect injured climbers from precarious locations. The French health service is free yet it is unfair that the French public should have to pay for these people who have been injured trying to get their ‘fix’. To conclude, people putting their lives in danger to take part in a sport seems to me to be futile and has led to a waste of life and a financial burden for the public.
