Hi guys! I'm looking for a dependable resource or preferably a certain person (a licensed IELTS instructor or former examiner) to assess and correct GT writings on the paid basis. The situation is that most of whom I managed to find did amateurish job or rejected to provide a band score for the safe...

In summary, Cambridge people's way of thinking is 'Weak but not a mistake, stupid but grammatically correct, implausible but everything is OK with the grammar)) :D ' You can't beat them for the prowess of hedging and wriggling. My next essay will be like: 'My name is Andreas. I am a good man. I live...

that was awful for me :( maybe only first answer was ( about something not important to do ) and there is one answer about statistic ( you should consult someone ) there is also something ( you should do that together ) :( :( That professor had a terrible voice, failed to make out most of his sugge...

Live music or watching the food cooking ?

I guessed watching the food cooking... Absolutely not sure.

Just stumbled across this on-line resource:
http://www.grammarly.com/handbook/

I was able to find answers to the most of my questions related to grammar here)

Hi, David! Nice to see this new much-needed section! This time I'd like to ask about grammatical mistakes test-takers make. Is it true that different mistakes can be counted against you differently? For example, one makes a spelling mistake in a word 'exaggeration', having written 'ex e g ga ration'...

Hi! My experience suggests that the best grammar book to score 7+ is English reading resources. You should read and analyse science reports ( analyse from this perspective: sentence structure, terms used (phrasal verbs), prepositions used, punctuation, development of an idea, cohesive devises used, ...

One question,
What about band descriptors, does an examiner really put scores for each descriptor and then calculate the average band based on them?

Thank you Jill, for your critique of that essay. I'm looking forward to hearing the clarification from Cambridge too. I am expecting you to share their feedback in here. Apparently, they should not have confused us with such the poor example as many people consider this as a role model essay and hav...

Hi, David! This time, I wondering which P&S essay structure examiners are expecting us to stick with? I mean there are 2 main options: 1-st para - 1 main cause+ its solution, 2-d para - another cause + its solution, both with superficial analysis on viability. Advantage: 2 causes and 2 solutions...

Hi everyone! Thank you, soura, for your detailed reply! I wholly agree with you, however let me express some positive points about that 8-band essay: I think there is something that the Ryan's essays either may lack or is not emphasized. 1) Grammatical analysis with the Grammarly revealed that there...

Hi, drsid! Yeah, the question is quite topical! Band descriptors do not say almost anything! All of them are still based on a subjective judgement! How to distinguish TR of 6.5 band-essay from 9 band essay - is still a conundrum. Or if a single mistake like , 'she have...' or 'Skills is..' is able t...

Hi David! Thank you for your consent to look into this question! While you are looking out for a good example, I'd like to clarify what I am expecting to see. Here is an example of 8-band essay from Cambridge IELTS 9 book: Some believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of hig...

Hi, Marilety! I suppose such the resource does not exist. Writing 9-band sentences is more like art rather than a formalized process applicable to be used in any computer program. However, we can memorize and copy the best samples of sentences from the literature (newspapers, magazines, science repo...

Hi, David! Hope this post finds you in a good mood! Wouldn't it be a problem for you to write for us some example of a 7-band 250-word essay? Not 7.5 or higher. Further, I'd like you to point at some mistakes/misspellings or simplifications that would turn it into 6.5 and further into 6 band essay? ...

Here it is, I assume the exam's real text was cut from this original one!

dude answer was 39000 not 1.9 and already Km2 was written in the question. So you only have to write the number and that is 39000. As 1.9 was the total area but she said about the map, and it was 39000. :lol: So, the right answer should be 1.9 ? 39000 was given on the sheet? I do not remember anyth...

I know the answer that was 1.9 square

Written as 1.9 sq would it be OK any one can suggest

I am sure there was 1.x million m2.
It was about a national park - 1,9 m2 is not plausible number for the area like that.

Last section:
x) (first area at the entrance in the supermarkets)

(something most of the supermarkets have)
x) bakery?

what about writing topic for GT? Different depending on time zone: In +3-+7 it was: A letter to your trainer to explain you are unable to continue your workouts: what sport, why, why did you enjoy attending it. Essay: Modern societies find it difficult to combine career and family life. What is the...

Hi, avijit_05 ! Should I have been directly say something like : 'I've moved to my new house because...', or 'The main reason why I've moved to my new house was ...' I just thought the reason would be understandable... I mean, I said I bought the house recently at last. So, my intention to move ther...
