    Guys does anyone have links to alot of questions on IELTS listening section

    You get 30 seconds when you go to the next section, not 3! And no from my experience, the answers have to be heard in a sequence... Not sure about the tests you did :/

    Guys does anyone have links to alot of questions on IELTS listening section

    You need to focus and clear your mind. If you don't, your mind will be preoccupied with something else and you're going to miss the answer when it's said in the recording. Also, make SURE that you can hear the recording loud enough from where you're sitting. The invigilator will play a test and...

    Building A Better, Faster & Stronger Brain

    Haha no but varying between them really helps. I actually tried cleaning up my room and it does actually free my mind. My room's ALWAYS a mess, so I have plenty to do :)

    Building A Better, Faster & Stronger Brain

    2. Which do you mean: sleeping early so you can wake up early, or does the time at which you sleep not important and only the duration of the sleep? Or is it both? 3. Can you please give examples of simple pleasures? :) 5. Does sudoku or playing puzzle games count? If not, then can you please...

    sample practice essay - total words: 217, Need people to read

    I didn't really study or dwell much on the reading section. If you have trouble reading then you need to practice more as there's no other way to approach it :/ One thing you should try to do is try to find exact words from the question in the passage as they sometimes do that, which greatly...

    I know but that's how the exam goes unfortunately. Sometimes they're easy topics and sometimes they require a bit more thought. But you can get through most of them without any trouble hopefully, you seem very capable!

    Yes I noticed you overuse commas sometimes. You should use the method I explained previously about using connectives in order to link up two sentences into one. If you find that you're writing a very long sentence, try splitting it in two or simply using a : or ; as they drastically shorten a...

    To make up better sentences, try using words which improve the flow of the paragraph, such as 'in addition', 'therefore', 'furthermore', 'however', 'in any case', 'as a consequence', 'in light of', 'also,', etc. And my vocabulary just comes naturally from lots of hours of reading :) I read a lot...

    Oh yes as you said, it's not enough. The minimum word limit for the essay question is 250 words, and if you write anything below that you're penalised in the exam. Secondly, yes I noticed you used the same format as the previous one, but you already know how to fix that. Another thing: try not...

    Great points, but I think the formatting is kind of off. The main constituents of an IELTS essay should be: 1. State 3-4 points you're going to discuss in the introduction. 2. Write a paragraph about each point, explaining it and elaborating further about that specific point (e.g. you could...
