Hey! Today Nick and I are trying a new style of lesson. Instead of giving you lots of information about one topic, we are going to break down one element of essay writing – how to write an introduction to an IELTS agree disagree essay.
Join Nick and I today as we go through the Cambridge IELTS Reading – Changes in Reading Habits from Cambridge 16, Test Four, Passage Two. In the lesson, we will demonstrate how you can use our Read Once, Read Well technique. If you have not listened to our previous episode about the technique, then I strongly recommend that you do so before you listen to today’s lesson.
One of the most common questions asked about IELTS writing is how you should present your opinion in an IELTS Discuss Both Views essay. Do you need to write a separate paragraph with your opinion? Can you wait until the conclusion to “reveal” your opinion? And what does it mean to offer “positive” arguments for each view? That is what Nick and I will discuss in today’s episode.
Preparing for IELTS can feel daunting with four modules to prepare for and seemingly endless amounts of information available online to “help” you do so. But, how long do you really need to prepare for IELTS? And what should you cover if you only have one month or two months to prepare? That is what Nick and I will discuss in this episode – by the end, you should know how to plan your IELTS preparation perfectly!
This week, Shelly is in Brussels (drinking all the beer and eating all the mussels) so we thought we would have an easy episode this week and look at the Cambridge IELTS 16 essay questions.
One of the enduring problems for many IELTS test-takers is being able to use uncountable and plural nouns correctly. Today, Nick and I take a deep-dive into the common problems that IELTS test-takers make in their writing and speaking.
Finally! After 3 years of promises, the My IELTS Classroom YouTube channel is finally launching at 7am GMT on March 11th 2022!!!!
Hey everyone! I don’t know if I have been under a rock for the last month, but a student brought it to my attention this week that he new IELTS Cambridge 16 General Training book has been published. That means we have four new full tests to use to hone our IELTS skills. Honestly, though, the first section that I always turn to is the writing exam. I mean, nothing is more exciting than having 4 brand new essay questions to analyse, right? Well, almost nothing! This time I found it was the letters that caught my attention more! So, in today’s episode, join Nick and I as we look at the Cambridge IELTS 16 letters!
Hey! This week, Nick and I look at how you should tackle IELTS Object Cue Cards, which are one of the most common in Part 2 of the exam. We will start with a brief review of IELTS Speaking Part 2 (as it has been a long time since we did a speaking episode!), and then share a range of useful lexis to describe objects. Finally, we will demonstrate how you can put all of these skills together by completing one 2-minute turn each.
Last week, we looked at the basics of IELTS paragraph writing. We discussed what paragraphs are and the importance of unity. We also took a deep-dive into how you can write a paragraph that contains two ideas. If you have not listened to that episode yet, I strongly recommend that you go back and complete it before progressing onto this one.
