Hey! If you are aiming for a 7.0 or higher, then you absolutely must be able to use referencing in IELTS writing accurately.But, what is referencing? And what are the common problems that IELTS test-takers face when trying to use it in their work? (Did you see the two examples of referencing there?!!)
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.

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.
Hey! In IELTS reading matching sentence endings is a strange question type. At first glance, they can seem simple. After all, your only task is to match the start of a sentence with its correct end. And, as all of the possible endings are given to you, the challenge seems minimal.
