hi I'm from Philippines I'm taking my exam on November 13. pls give me some hints on the speaking and writing task questions.
A speaking tip regarding bullet points =
"For the IELTS task 2, you have 1 minute to prepare. In this time, you are able to write down some notes.
Try to make at least 15 bullet points. Then for each bullet point, try to use it for 1/2, 1 or 2 sentences etc..
With this method, you can then hopefully speak for at least 1 minutes.
This can take a lot of practice, to get so many in 1 minute - remember "try, try and try again"."

A writing tip regarding beginning sentences =
"Try not to start any sentences with basic words, such as “a”, “an”, “the” or “I”. Try to make them as complex as possible (as well as the rest of the sentence) to impress the examiner.
For instance, instead of having a sentence like:
“The main thing that I would like to consider in this essay is the effect of technology.”,
it can be changed to:
“Actually, the main thing that I would like to consider in this essay is the effect of technology.”.
And this can be further updated to:
“Actually, specifically, the key feature that I want to focus on in this analysis, is the outcome that can be considered from advanced technology."
