PTE to IELTS score: can the converted band be used in an application? Mia_ch commented · 08 October 2026 If the course page only lists IELTS 7, would you ask admissions about PTE before booking either test?
IELTS Academic vs General: which one should I choose? Mia_ch commented · 08 October 2026 Those two are the same. Reading and Writing differ, so choose those practice materials for the test you actually need.
WritingHow to write task Mia_ch commented · 08 October 2026 The linked webinar is about Academic Task 1. Which bit do you need help starting: reading the visual, choosing the main points, or turning those points into sentences?
WritingHow to get band 7.5? Mia_ch commented · 08 October 2026 Do you mean 7.5 in Writing or 7.5 overall? If it's Writing, sharing a response and the task would help people give advice beyond a general band target.
IELTS One Skill Retake: do all universities accept it? Mia_ch commented · 08 October 2026 What should the email ask so they don't just send back the standard IELTS requirements?
WritingWhich type of different question can come in this section Mia_ch commented · 08 October 2026 Academic Task 1 can use graphs, tables, charts or diagrams, including processes and maps. You can also get more than one visual in the same question.
Writinghow to manage writing of 2 charts (fe. table+map or table+bar) Mia_ch commented · 08 October 2026 Would one paragraph for the table and one for the bar chart be acceptable if they show different things?
What should I discuss at my first session with an IELTS tutor? Mia_ch commented · 08 October 2026 Would you leave an unfinished answer unfinished? Fixing it first sounds polite, but then they won't see where the time went.
WritingWhat should I include in task 1 Mia_ch commented · 08 October 2026 For the Academic Task 1 in the webinar, include what the visual shows, its main features, and details that support them. You don't need to describe every number.
IELTS Academic vs General: which one should I choose? Mia_ch commented · 07 October 2026 They're for different purposes. Academic is for degree study or professional registration, while General Training is used for things like migration or study below degree level. Check which test the place you're applying to accepts.
ReadingMatching paragraph information Mia_ch commented · 05 October 2026 The instructions line names the type, so matching information usually says 'which paragraph contains the following information' while headings says 'choose the correct heading'. Worth reading that line before the passage.
SpeakingForgot the word in Speaking... describe it? Mia_ch commented · 29 September 2026 I'd let them finish. Then the listener can say what they understood and which phrase helped, before correcting anything unclear.
What are you working on? Mia_ch commented · 29 September 2026 Could add one thing after the last keyword, like what changed or how you felt? Otherwise the notes seem to stop at the cue-card points.
SpeakingPart 2: run out of ideas Mia_ch commented · 29 September 2026 Could add what they said afterwards and whether they changed their view? Then the notes go beyond the disagreement itself.
VocabularyAcademic vocabulary for IELTS Mia_ch commented · 29 September 2026 Could we try the phrase with two different subjects and compare? That might show whether we only know it in the original sentence.
How should I start IELTS preparation while still in college? Mia_ch commented · 25 September 2026 This candidate used one main skill at a time around work. Not copying their hours, but could each short session cover one difficulty plus time to check it?
Writing tips Mia_ch commented · 24 September 2026 Could I use an article from college for this? Or better to start with an IELTS question so I know what I'm reading for?
WritingWriting task 2 Challenge - Agree/Disagree question Mia_ch commented · 24 September 2026 Could the intro say 'I support free tuition for students who cannot afford it, rather than for everyone'? Would that make 'partly agree' clearer?
ReadingWhat goes in your Reading mistake notes? Mia_ch commented · 24 September 2026 What if the explanation still doesn't make sense? Could mark it 'not understood yet' and write the exact bit to ask about.
SpeakingForgot the word in Speaking... describe it? Mia_ch commented · 24 September 2026 For a college object like a stapler, I could say 'the tool used to fasten sheets of paper together'. Would that be clear enough to carry on, or should I describe its appearance too?
