Thought to share another news. [ especially those who are migrating to Australia.]

My Australian Permanent Residency visa got granted yesterday! Now I am ready to explore the world!

mhingz is right,

just keep practice writing, the more you write, the easier those ideas will come to you. As many any ideas can be recycled.

Does reading comic books counts as reading a book?

I used to read Archie books when I was little. And then grow up reading Marvel / DC 's.

Many Chinese believed that practicing Qigong (气功） can prevent sickness and promote LONGEVITY.

Personally, I don't fully subscribe to these beliefs either. However, I have come to know quite a number of candidates [ in Australia at least] whom send their unsatisfied results for a remark and got their score increased 1 and some even 2+ band scores. Hence, such discrepancies, which seems to occ...

This may be a defining moment for the Web 3.0, however we are still confronted with the dilemma of INFORMATION overload.

One of my realization about IELTS exam, at least based on my recent experience are that the topics often revolve around first world problem. I ponder if there's there's a "Western" / privileged partiality in IELTS exams. Questions I have encountered, [ all my IELTS I sat in Australia ] suc...

Dear Ryan. Thank you so much for setting up this community. I am still humbled by the results which I have fought so restlessly. I, for one wishes that no one should go through the agony I went through. However I am the odd one, it is clear I am terrible at sitting exams. I am sure most people, with...

My apologies I haven't been here lately, it's been awhile! Alas, I would like to preface that taking IELTS has mentally impoverished me. I plunged into depression, each time I received my failed results, it severed my self-esteem. It was something that if I do not get the score I needed, it would me...

Thanks for the well wishes Chi, I do feel gutted, but I sort of see that coming for my writing as I invested too much time on part 2 and jeopardized part 1. and on reading i thought i could get an 8. i guess it is just one of those days my mind was cluttered. I hope all aspiring ielts candidate will...

Here's a phrase my friend recently used to wish me luck on my ielts, which I think it's unusual but yet pertinent! I will relay this blessing to all IELTS candidates this year.

I don't have much in-depth knowledge how the speaking examiner would assess the speaking. as long as you answer his/her question without derailing too much, naturally and spontaneously, without repeating the same words, you are probably will be fine. again, that's what i think, i could be wrong.

1) As i understand, there will be a second examiner listen to the recording. 2) It has occurred to me before - in part 2, albeit I have covered all the points, I finished my speech within 2[?] minutes. The examiner gestured me to talk more but I just kept repeating what I needed to say. I still achi...

Thanks for the heads up Ryan. Really appreciate it Yes, after several occasion of using Grammarly, I do have concerns if the tool are able to address sentences that are more semantic. At the moment I use Grammarly on word counts and picking up repetitive words. I may cancel my subscriptions next mon...

I got band 8 for this speaking.

I did well for others listening 8.5 reading 7.5 but writing as predicted fell short 6.0. I know why I dint do well on the writing due to bad time management.

Hi Chi, Moderators are inundated by their daily work, while i am sure they would, if they could, to assist everyone in the forum. If you are racing against time, I think it's worth looking for enlisted services to grade your essays. http://www.englishryan.com/ http://www.ielts-blog.com/check-your-ie...

I needed an "English Teacher" that can fit into my hectic, erratic schedule, as well as my poor wallet. So getting a personalized tutor or attending English classes was out of the questions at the moment as I am only able to practice my English writing during ungodly hours. So, I googled, ...
