What is better than learning from others? You can learn from their rights AND their wrongs. 

That's why I am starting a series in which I will react to different IELTS speaking tests at different band scores. I will give comments on what goes wrong and how to avoid the mistakes that the candidate makes.

This week, I am watching and commenting on a BAND 5.5 speaking test. My impression:

1. This is NOT scripted and is very useful for you.

2. I am really impressed with this teacher/examiner.

If you are self-studying, this episode is definitely for you. There are a lot of misconceptions about IELTS writing task 2. I think this is the most misunderstood task in IELTS. I often see people look at the questions, but not the statements. They also often treat all the tasks the same way, which is not quite right. And the templates!

If you are taking IELTS General Training, this is for you. I won't believe it if you tell me that you have never experienced frustration from work emails (I mean...huh? Really? You love your job that much?). In real life, we consider manners extremely important so I think it is time we treated an IELTS letter as one real letter, which means we need to put the right manners in it. 

This episode will show you what it really means by "putting the right manners" and how to to it.

If you want to get more than 6.5 in IELTS and you don't know about paraphrasing, I don't think it is feasible. 

So, I am going to share with you how to paraphrase in this episode. To read the full blog of this episode, click here. 

Follow me on TIKTOK, Instagramand Facebook.

Example 1:

Original sentence: People need to learn English because it is an international language so it helps them communicate and expand their knowledge.

Paraphrased sentence: Learning English is essential for people because it is an international language, thanks to which communication barriers will be demolished and learners will expand their knowledge that they would not be able to acquire with only their mother tongue.

Example 2: 

Original sentence: Some people believe that teachers are the most important people to teach children. Some other people think that parents are the more important.

Paraphrased sentence: It is a belief of some people that when it comes to teaching children, teachers are more important than anyone, while to some others, parents are considered to play a more fundamental role in their offspring's life.

Example 3: 

Original sentences: Some people think that protecting the environment is a waste of resources. Some others think that it is very important to protect the environment.

Paraphrased sentences: While environment preservation is considered prodigality in terms of resources by some people, others support the idea that it is a fundamental act.

Example 4:

Original sentence: The amount of money that was spent on housing (30%) was twice bigger than that on transportation.

Paraphrased sentence: People spent twice on housing (30%) than on transportation.
