Btw, no matter what the test result is, it's not all of your life. This is for me, and also for all my mates in this forum.

^This is always worth remembering. Thanks for the reminder, big2fish. It's very nice to meet you.

Hi Manal!

Very nice to meet you. I hope this forum helps with your studies.

Hi Delvy, You've been tirelessly helping others with their writing, I felt the least I could do is dig out this old essay and provide you with a bit of feedback. Your writing is very good; however, there are areas in need of tweaking (article and preposition misuse, awkward word choices, ...). Most ...

Hi Mohammed, A couple very quick notes for you: -I admire your determination to support the middle ground (and you do a fair job of it here), but arguing one side of a statement can both curb grammatical issues and allow you to declare a bold, confident position ("I support the idea....")....

Thank you for the feedback. I am going to try to get more Task 1 material uploaded in 2014.

As for dates, both of your versions are wrong if you don't capitalize "December". Either of these would be fine:

22nd December
22 December

Thank you for posting this. Is this your suggested speaking response?

Do not practice? I don't know how someone could hope to improve their mark without practicing.

Hi Hashir,

It's very nice to meet you. Would you mind posting your work to the writing section of this forum?

Hi Kumar,

Thank you for the background. At least you know you can score 7 in each section. I'm sure you'll get it next time.

Hi Young,

Excuse my delay in replying to you. How did your December 7th exam go? You should be receiving the results right about now.

It's very nice to meet you, preetham123. Please don't be shy. Tell us a bit more about your situation.

Hi Srilatha, It's very nice to meet you. Two children? I'm astonished you have time for anything, let alone IELTS study. ;) Two months to get your speaking to band 7 will take work. Have you tried my repeated response? Perhaps this can help. Also, consider finding a few speaking partners on Skype. h...

Hello Amandeep,

It is very nice to meet you. I'm glad the videos were helpful. I have a video on the differences in writing bands:

Good luck.

Hi guys, Nice to meet you both. Thank you for entering the contest. Manpreet, you have a couple of great marks there. Regarding writing, please check the contest results. I think the essay you submitted was about a band 5.5 (which is lower than what you received on the actual exam). Please refer to ...

Hi Steve,

Let me start by saying that Oman is among the most beautiful countries I have ever visited.

I hope you can find a few speaking partners here to help you work on your fluency.

Good luck,
Ryan

Nice to meet you, sum98. Good luck with your studies.

Hi Surendra,

It's very nice to meet you. I hope you have been able to find some Skype speaking partners here.

(By the way, my wife and I ate Nepalese food for the first time yesterday. Delicious but very very spicy!)

Hi Marwa,

Nice to meet you. Do you know your current band? Hitting an IELTS goal is much easier when you know clearly where you're starting from.

Good luck!

Thank you very much for your kind words. I've heard many nice things about "God's country" and would love to visit one day. I hope you can realize your dream and make your way to Australia!

Hi guys,

Yes, I also think YouTube is great for exchanging ideas. Thanks for sharing a bit about your background.

Hi Lilie,

Nice to meet you. Have you taken the exam before? If so, how was your performance?

Hi there,

Nice to meet you. Thank you for sharing a bit about yourself and your experience. Good luck on the 18th!
