Studying 5 hours a day of English (listening to subtitled conversations for 4 hours a day) and practising once a week with a Londoner, starting with TOEFL 35, what minimum level could you reach after 6 months?

I would say your level will be only a little bit higher than TOEFL 35.

Try to find the way to use English every day to do the same things you do in your native language.

At the moment, you are still in a “language learning” mode. You think that studying hard is a key to making progress. It is not. No matter how much time you spend on studying, you need to be able to understand real-life communication and participate in it. Studying is like a brain trick - you believe that your English is improving, but actually it does not (your communication skills, that is).

If you start using English more often than you use your native language, your actual communication skills will improve,

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.


Write about the following topic:


Providing a national system in a country where the unemployed receive a regular payment only encourages people not to seek work and puts an unreasonable strain on a country’s financial resources.


Discuss this statement and give your opinion.


Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.


You should write at least 250 words.


Sample Band 9 Essay


In modern day society, money is a driving force for nearly everyone. Most people aspire to be financially secure and to have the ability to live the life they want. However, not everyone is able to find paid employment, and for that reason in some countries around the world, governments have initiated a system where the unemployed receive a regular payment to enable them to survive. Some people believe it is an excellent idea, whilst others believe that it is exhausting a country’s financial resources.


When looking at the positive aspects of this system, it can be said that it prevents individuals from having a private bankruptcy. When somebody becomes unemployed, he or she will have on-going costs such as rent for a dwelling, bills for water, telephone and electricity as well as the cost of food and several other things. Without a salary, this person will fall into debt, because they will be unable to cover these expenses. A national unemployment payment system will therefore prevent this person from losing nearly everything over time. Without such system, many people would become homeless and would potentially engage in criminal activities to survive. Therefore, one can say that this system is positive. Although stories are heard of people exploiting the system, usually the newly unemployed want to find a job fast in order to become financially independent again, meaning that the government does not have to support them for long.


Although there are positive aspects of this system, one can also say that if the payment made by the government is too high, it will prevent people from looking for work actively. Occasionally, the payment people receive is higher than their potential salaries, deterring them from working and creating an on-going cost for the government. A potential solution for this could be providing free training and employment support to open up new career opportunities with higher income, which would motivate this group to re-enter the workforce.


In conclusion, the unemployment benefits system has positive and negative aspects. Personally, I believe that the positive effects of the system outweigh the negative. The payment must remain on a level that helps people survive without regular salaries, but does not seem attractive to exploit over a longer period of time.

Some people claim that not enough of the waste from homes is recycled. They say that the only way to increase recycling is for governments to make it a legal requirement. To what extent do you think laws are needed to make people recycle more of their waste?

Answer 2

Some people believe that the amount of recycled household waste is insuficient. Recycling is very important to decreace waste and protect environment. However, people may not increase recycling if they are led to recycle compulsory by laws. In this essay, I will look at the way to rise recycling by laws or others and explain my opinion.

Making laws is might be the best way to encourage people to recycle because not many people try to recycle from their own motive. For example, when they purchase beverage cans made from aluminium, they are able to recycle them to reuse. Although they need to wash, crush and bring them to a collecting place. This process can make people bother. Consequently, they might be not willing to recycle because it is easier to throw them away. When there are laws regarding to recycling, people are forced to recycle, which contributes to increase recycling rate with a high possibility.

On the other hand, there are other ways to compel people to recycle effectively. One of the ways is giving rewards to people who recycle many times. Rewarding such as money and discounts encourage them to rise recycle. If people are able to get discount tickets whenever they bring something to recycle, they may recycle enthusiastically. In addition, education is possible to increase recycling. If people learn the importance of recycling and how to recycle from their childhood, they can do without any special efforts.

In conclusion, introducing legislation maybe let people recycle more effectively, however, rewarding or educate them also can become good methods. In my opinion, I think laws are essential to force people to recycle more, because they do not need motivations which is difficult to maintain.

Comments

This candidate has also answered the question well. She has addressed the main idea of the task (making recycling compulsory) but also other solutions (rewarding people and education). However, there is also some irrelevant information, for example in the second paragraph about the process of recycling. This answer is also effectively organised; the writer has also used four paragraphs and each one has a clear function. Again, there is a wide range of linking expressions (‘for example’, ‘although’, ‘consequently’, ‘in addition’, ‘in conclusion’). However, there is some repetition of vocabulary which could be avoided (the words ‘recycle’ and ‘recycling’ are used eight times in the third paragraph). In terms of grammar, there are some good complex structures (‘when there are laws…..people are forced….which contributes to….’) along with a few basic errors (‘making laws is might be’). The candidate’s use of vocabulary is generally clear and understandable, but not always accurate or natural (‘rise recycling’, ‘education is possible to increase recycling’, ‘can make people bother’)

This answer would probably also achieve a 6.5. It could be improved by saying more about why laws on recycling might be a good idea, rather than discussing why people avoid recycling. Better use of referencing words (‘it’, ‘this’, etc.) would help to avoid the repetition that we mentioned previously. Also, if the candidate’s vocabulary were more accurate she would have a better chance of increasing her score.

1. Do you like running?

Nah, if you’re talking about going for a jog or getting on a treadmill. I can’t stand it and I don’t think it’s worth the alleged health benefits. Whenever I feel like exercising, I just lie down and wait for the feeling to pass. I was so happy to hear that it’s bad for your joints because that gave me an excuse not to ever try going for another run and wiped away any health-related guilt I might’ve felt.

2. When was the last time you went for a run?

I remember pretty well the last time I went for a run, long as I haven’t forgotten any times since then… I was about 22 so must’ve been more than a decade ago. I was dating a girl who was an avid runner – cross country and everything – and I was a good athlete but not a runner. I wanted to show off and thought I could handle it without any training beforehand – I thought I’d be way faster no matter how far we ran. But it was a rude awakening – I gave up halfway through and the experience scarred me enough to put me off running forever.

3. Do you like to watch running competitions on TV?

I guess you mean the marathon and Olympic track and field… I’ve never watched the full telecast of the marathon – I doubt anyone has – I’ve only seen highlights on the news of the runners crossing the finish line. I have watched some track and field at the Olympics – the first time Usain Bolt won gold but I haven’t caught any of the last 2 Olympics.

4. Is your hometown a good place for running?

Yes, it’s ideal in a lot of ways. I come from a small suburb – the roads are pretty empty most of the time so you can run in the street or on the sidewalk. There are a lot of little forests nearby with running trails and a big lake. I never availed myself of the opportunity to go for a run because for me a run is a run – even in a paradise, it’s still exercise.

Can I use personal pronouns in #IELTS writing task 2?

Many people are taught that you must not use personal pronouns, such as I, you, we etc., in IELTS writing.  This advice comes from the belief that academic writing must be impersonal, which is generally true (although there is a recent move away from this idea and towards more direct and accessible language).  Nevertheless, IELTS writing task 2 is NOT an academic writing task.  You are not being asked to write a report on a research study, instead you are being asked to write a formal essay giving your own views and opinions.  In the IELTS test, you must make your own position clear in your essay if you want to score well. In fact, it is essential if you want to score band 7 or above. 
@ieltsstrategies

Band 7 candidates ‘present a clear position throughout’ their essay, while for Band 6 candidates, their position is sometimes ‘unclear’. 

Why is the advice to avoid personal pronouns a problem?

The reason this is such an important issue is that, in trying to avoid the use of personal pronouns at all costs, many candidates resort to using the passive. So, instead of saying ‘I believe…’ or  ‘I feel…..’ they write ‘It is believed // It is felt….’  etc. But this does not tell the reader anything about your own position. In fact, it is very unnatural to use the passive in this way.  A native speaker would never write this.  We only use the passive when the person (the subject of the verb) is unimportant or unknown.  Look at these examples:

@ieltsstrategies
Examples of the correct use of the passive:

At the factory, the different parts of the car are manufactured and checked before being assembled. (NB This is done in a factory and we don’t know which individual person is doing this)

It has been decided that the test will be postponed until next term. (NB Using the passive tells us this has been a group decision, not made by one person).

سلام به همه دوستان.

هر سال موقع جولای که میشد در سفارتهای آمریکا که دانشجویان ایرانی مراجعه میکردن کلی کیس کلیر میکردن و خوشحالی بچه های زیادی رو شاهد بودیم، گاهی آمار به ۷۰ نفر در روز هم میرسید.

ولی امسال متاسفانه علیرغم اینکه بچه ها چندین بار دیفر کردن به دلیل کرونا اوضاع از همیشه خیلی بدتره، و شاید باورتون نشه از اول جولای تا امروز تعداد انگشت شمار دانشجو از سفارتهای ارمنستان، پاکستان و دبی کلیر شدن. در حالیکه این آخرین فرصت خیلی از دوستانه و بیش از ۱۰۰۰ دانشجو منتظر دریافت نوبت هستند واسه رسیدن به ترم فال. 🥺🥺🥺

ما در حال تلاش هستیم که جلوی این اتفاق ناگوار گرفته بشه و یه پتیشن جهت اعتراض به روال کار کردن سفارت‌ها ایجاد کردیم.

لطفا درنظر بگیرید که وقت ما خیلی کمه و خواهش میکنم در جمع‌آوری امضاهای پتیشن کمک کنید و اگه واستون مقدوره کامنت بزارید.

🔹 توی این زمان کم تا الان تعداد خوبی امضا جمع شده و اگه با اشتراک گذاری این پتیشن توسط شما راحت به 5000 امضا هم میرسه.

🔸 امضای این پتیشن محدودیت زمانی نداره ولی هرچه زودتر تعداد امضاها بیشتر بشه سریعتر و بهتر میشه پیگیریش کرد

ممنونم از همتون🌱💜

IELTS Speaking Part 2: Sample Answers and Analysis

Question 1

Describe a major decision you have taken in your life.
You should say:
– What the decision was
– What other choices were available to you
– Why you made the decision you did
And explain if you think the decision was a good one.

A really important decision I’ve made recently is to study abroad, which is the reason I’m here talking to you now. No-one from my family has ever had the chance to study abroad before. My parents were actually hoping I’d start working for our family textile business as soon as I graduate. I think it’s too soon to join the family business though. I really want to study marketing – especially fashion marketing – and English so I can sell our company products to buyers all over the world. If I study fashion marketing in the UK, I can learn how to do business in the fashion industry, which is of course very competitive and fast-moving. As for whether it was the right decision, I’m pretty confident it was and I can’t change my mind now anyway because I borrowed money from my parents to pay for my tuition. I’m going to do my best to finish my course and I will go back to my country with new ideas that will help expand our business. All I need now is to get a good score in IELTS. So, anyway, that’s an important decision in my life

How do the newspapers market themselves for increasing sales?

Newspapers use different strategies to boost up marketing. They publish advertisements on television and display their banners on hoardings. Apart from this, they also advertise themselves on websites. They have catchy slogans to attract mass number of people. Those newspapers which are quite new in the market try to give discount offers to the public on purchase of the newspaper packages, while those which are already established keep on retaining their customers through various plans and offers.

What kind of marketing practices do these newspapers use?

One of the effective marketing practices is to visit the people in their homes. Sales team goes door to door for selling and marketing their newspapers. This works great for a newly launched newspaper. Many newspapers such as Amar Ujala and Dainik Bhaskar used these practices when they started and now, they have become quite popular newspapers across the country. Another successful strategy used by newspapers is to offer gifts along with monthly subscription of their newspapers. They usually offer utensils, appliances etc. to attract more and more people.

Do you think newspapers manipulate real stores for increasing their sales?

Yes, it is possible that some newspapers may be altering real stories to make them look attractive and pleasing to the readers. Some local newspapers may be publishing fake stories also. For example, it is seen many a times that some editors publish rumours about celebrities or famous personalities just to boost up their sales. When celebrities are then asked about such published stories, they completely deny them. Just for the sake of publicity of their papers, they spread false news or rumours and this is quite prevalent these days.

@ieltsstrategies
Do the TV programs and radio channels talk about the same news?

Yes, TV news channels as well as radio channels broadcast the same news but difference lies in the details of the news. On TV, people are able to get more in-depth information about the news along with videos or visuals. Sometimes, the TV channel reporters broadcast news live, being present in the place where incident is taking place. On the other hand, radio channels do not go so much in deep while telling news.
@ieltsstrategies
Do you think people will use the internet to read news online?

Absolutely, people would prefer to use the internet for reading news online especially through their mobile applications. They are already using the internet to a much larger extent that they check for weather updates, news updates and watch talk shows online on their computers or mobiles. In the future also, this trend is likely to get widen.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the internet?

Internet has a number of advantages in the way it can be used for obtaining information about just anything. The biggest thing that benefits the people is that people are able to connect to each other very easily. News can be accessed sitting anywhere and anytime. Other than this, one can shop online without visiting the store and students can study from the comfort of their homes. However, there are disadvantages of the internet as well since a number of internet hackers are being involved in fraudulent activities. They are found to commit cyber crimes that are difficult to track.

❇️ توضیح مربوط به Singular They:

🖋 علی‌رغم اینکه امروزه استفاده از ضمیر he برای اشاره به یک گروه از افراد در اکثر موارد بعنوان «تبعیض جنسیتی» تلقی می‌شود، این ضمیر همچنان در موارد زیر کاربرد دارد:

1️⃣ در مواردی که مخاطب جمله در واقع مذکر است:
• The patient should be informed of his therapeutic options.
مریض باید از گزینه‌های درمانیش باخبر باشد.

❇️ این جمله درباره‌ی سرطان پروستات گفته شده و چون مخاطب‌های آن مذکر هستند، از ضمیر he استفاده شده.


2️⃣ در مواردی که مخاطب گروهی از افراد هستند که معمولاً مذکرند (یا حداقل نظر عمومی این است که معمولاً مذکر هستند):
• The next president can actually do something if he actually cares about it.
رئیس جمهور بعدی میتواند کاری انجام دهد، اگه واقعاً به این موضوع اهمیت بدهد.


3️⃣ وقتی نویسنده استفاده از Singular They را از نظر گرامری غلط بداند (یا کلاً به تبعیض و این حرفا اعتقادی نداشته باشه 🤨😁):
• A Member of Parliament should always live in his constituency.
اینجا از his در مفهوم کلی (چه مذکر، چه مونث و...) استفاده شده و در زبان امروز از نظر اکثر افراد اشکال دارد.
@ieltsstrategies
اشتباه رایج

🖋 دو جمله‌ی زیر را در نظر بگیرید:
1️⃣ There's very little chance that anyone has survived the crash.
احتمال بسیار کمی وجود دارد که کسی از تصادف جان سالم بدر برده باشد.
2️⃣ Tomorrow's test will be an opportunity/a chance for you to find out how much you know. (= a particular time when something is possible)
آزمون فردا یک فرصت برای تو خواهد بود تا بفهمی چقدر میدانی.

❇️ وقتی در مورد احتمال/شانس رخداد چیزی صحبت میکنیم، کلمه‌ی chance (نه opportunity) بکار میرود:
• I think she has a good chance of passing.
من فکر میکنم او شانس خوبی برای پاس کردن دارد

❇️ هر دو کلمه‌ی chance/opportunity به معنی "فرصت" هستند.

🖋 بنابراین جمله‌ی زیر اشتباه است:
❌ There is an opportunity that David's father will come tonight.
شکل صحیح جمله‌ی گفته‌شده 👇
✅ There is a chance that David's father will come tonight.

Some people claim that not enough of the waste from homes is recycled. They say that the only way to increase recycling is for governments to make it a legal requirement. To what extent do you think laws are needed to make people recycle more of their waste?

@ieltsstrategies

Answer 1

In recent years, the household waste are considerably increasing. In addition, nobody try to fix the problem and call the government to solve it. Many people think that the authority should make some laws to maintain the recycling process. I will discuss about legal requirement as a way to increase recycling and the other ways.

Firstly, should it be compulsory for people to recycle their waste? The environmental issue is one of the main problem of our world and we don’t help it. Government should make some decisions about recycling and maybe put some taxes on income about this. For example, if you don’t respect the good bin or if you product too much waste you should be punish. Usually, people only do the right thing because of rules, so it might be possible to change a person as an eco-friendly. Moreover, instead of punishing people they could give people a reward for their good action or even a large number of recycled waste.

On the other hand, many ways could also enhance the responsibility to recycle. Laws are not the only outcome, there is also the way to reward someone. In Peking, people can change plastic bottle for underground ticket for example. This could be a reason that people recycle more and try to be more aware about ecology. In addition, in some countries the sensibilisation about recycling is well-known in school. Teachers are teaching to children how to recycle their waste, why and where put their waste. Sooner people are aware and better will improve the recycling process.

To sum up, regulate this process could give desire to people to recycle their domestic waste. However, even with taxes and rules about recycling people should be reward. In addition to the government, school should have a great impact and highlight how important are there actions since the youngest age. As far as I am concerned, I think that if people recycle less they should reduce their waste.

@ieltsstrategies

Comments

The candidate has generally answered the question well. He has discussed the main idea in the task, using laws to make people recycle, but he has also discussed other options (rewarding people and education). Some of the candidate’s ideas are not clear or need to be developed more, for example when he talks about putting taxes on income. The answer is generally well-organised; it has four paragraphs, and each one has a clear function (introduction/discussion of using laws/discussion of other options/conclusion). There is a good range of linking expressions (‘firstly’, ‘for example’, ‘moreover’, ‘on the other hand’) although there is also some repetition (the idea about rewarding people is mentioned at the end of the second paragraph and again at the beginning of the third paragraph). His use of vocabulary is generally clear, and he tries to use some less common vocabulary, but it isn’t always accurate. For example, ‘respect the good bin’ should be ‘place your rubbish in the right container’, and ‘sensibilisation’ should be ‘raising awareness’ (in both cases the candidate has translated from his own language). In terms of grammar, there are again some good complex sentences (‘instead of punishing people they could give a reward’) but there are also quite a few errors, for example with tenses (‘in recent years the household waste are increasing’ , ‘nobody try’) and participles (‘you should be punishED’, ‘people should be rewardED’.)

This answer would probably achieve 6.5. Its strengths are its organisation and the fact that the writer has addressed the task well and his position is generally clear. However, the errors in grammar and vocabulary mean that it cannot be higher than 6.5.
