Hi All, Last week, it was Dusheera festival in India; most of the time I spent with kith and kin. Following, I could not upload any speaking samples for evaluation.

Re: Disagree Essay
You should write in support of your position only. This could be sharing information that proves your stance valid, or it could also be sharing information that proves the opposing stance is invalid.

Re: What if the word count of the essay is about 15 words le
I think you mean "what should I do if my essay is 15 words too short", right? Firstly, if you've trained enough, this won't happen. In the event that it does, I suppose your only option is to extend the conclusion paragraph. You could expand upon your prediction or recommendation and beef ...

Hi Anilnag,
Thanks very much for sharing the questions you faced. That Task 2 question has been seen before. The wording was a little different, but the idea was the same.

I think your approach works fine. Personally, I probably would have stated my position on the topic clearly at the beginning and then proceeded to look at the advantages and disadvantages. The main concern is ensuring your examiner sees a direct relationship between your essay question and your essa...
