There is a great deal of benefit in taking a holistic approach🔀⏭️ to your learning rather than focusing on
only one skill at a time. We do not acquire a skill in isolation. Thus, your listening🔊🎧 ability can have an impact on your writing✏️. I see this especially with lower levels, when someone writes ‘Festival’
instead of ‘First of all.’ This is why the decoding exercise I mentioned earlier can be beneficial for all of your skills. When working on pronunciation🎤, we often say, ‘if you cannot hear it, you cannot say it’, but I believe that this goes further and that you are also unlikely to write it.

We can also see this link with native speakers. Several studies have shown that children with hearing problems👂 also have problems when it comes to literacy 📝 (the ability to read and write well).
Furthermore, a native speaker will often write in a way that reflects the language they are used to hearing. So, the way that a native speaker says and hears this sentence: ‘I would’ve bought a new one.” means they will often make grammar mistakes like this in their writing: ‘I would of bought a
new one.’ Reading widely, using good models, can help correct some of these errors, but Speaking 🗣️ and listening🔊👂 are by far the most commonly used of our skills, so should not be neglected in your language study.

IELTS Reading: read better, not faster 🏃‍♂🚶‍♂

Many IELTS candidates worry that they read too slowly, and they ask me for advice about reading faster. These students are surprised when I tell them that it might be better to slow down and read "better" rather than faster.

If you read too quickly, or if you try to find the answers by skimming and scanning, you probably won't fully understand what you're reading, and you might miss the answers that you're searching for. On the other hand, if you read at normal speed, you're more likely to understand what you're reading, and you'll have plenty of time to find the answers.

If you struggle to finish all 40 questions in one hour, it's probably because you didn't understand the passage well enough, not because you didn't read it fast enough. So, you need to analyse your mistakes and look up the words and phrases that you didn't understand. In other words, work on becoming a better reader, not a faster reader.

Why your IELTS scores aren’t improving(yet)?

Many students claim that they don’t feel real progress despite of their continuous hard work.

If you paid attention to the picture above, you can see that red line represents your expectation of your progress.

The more time and effort you put in, the better score you will get. 💪🙅‍♂️
Actually, it’s the black line what happens with your progress, sometimes it goes up or down, or plateau. 📈📉

Blue area on the photo represents “valley of disappointment” 😤☹️. You are going to be very disappointed☹️ throughout your progress because you want dramatic increase on your score.📈

Most students:

➡️Start the course
➡️Try essay (haven’t mastered the course yet)
➡️Frustration (they don’t feel any progress or their score decreases)
➡️Next course or quit ⛔️🚫

❗️❗️It’s only after you master the course fully, you are going to see the huge progress ✔️

READING TIP ❗️
Many IELTS candidates claim that although they are continually practicing, instead of moving forward, they just go around circles. The reason is that most of them focus on the number of practices, not quality of them. After doing practice within or without a time limit, many tend to check the answers, skip analyzing a task and learning by mistake stage, and turn to another practice material (I personally did like this at the beginning). If your score isn't improving, so you should change your way of doing the practice.

Here is my tip! ❗️
First of all, you should avoid looking at answers after completing the reading tasks because when you do this your brain stops thinking. 💆‍♂️💭 Magic⚡️ happens when you find the answer yourself and digest the meaning.

Steps: 🔢

1. Do practice within a time limit ⌛️
2. Analyse it 📝 (without a time limit; don't look at answers; don't use a dictionary) 🙅‍♂️⏳
3. Try to find every single word which is unfamiliar to you 🔍
(use dictionary)
4. Discuss your answers with your partner (if you have a partner) 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️
5. Give your answer sheet to someone to check it (one should tell you the questions you found wrong not the answers itself) ☑️
6. Try to fix your mistakes (think ahead 💭) without knowing the answers
7. Check your answers ☑️✔️
8. Again, ❗️analyse your mistakes (learn by your mistakes)
9. Look at EXPLAINED READING ANSWERS 👇
10. If you still can not handle some questions, approach your teacher for help 👩‍🏫👨‍🏫
11. Count your answers you found true at the first and 7th stages ➡️ compare them. (It shows your current level of English and your potential level after fixing some problems➡️time🕙, vocabulary🔡, strategic approach and etc)

READING AND LISTENING TIP❗️

✅using a table method to identify your weak areas✅

Rather than simply doing more and more test practice, the best way to improve your reading and listening test score is to identify your current weak areas, and work on those. To do this, look back at previous practice tests you have done and note down the number of questions you got wrong in each section using a table like one below. This will help you to show you whether your weak areas in a particular section or with a particular question type.

Audios 📀🎧

⚡@ieltsfreestyle ⚡

In order to maximize your Listening score ⏫ and better your performance, you need to minimize your errors🔽 in Section 1. Many candidates, even with an acceptable level of listing ability, perform poorly in this section, simply because it is the VERY first section of the Listening test. To manage your anxiety😬, and in turn maximize your performance, do PLENTY of practice tests and mock tests. Practice NUMBERS and DICTATION.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
☑️ Basic IELTS listening 👈 book literally helps you to practice to listen numbers, names and etc. It can be truly game changer for you to minimise errors in the section 1 or 2. 👉Audios for the book👈.
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
❗❗ Don't underestimate the importance of Section 1 and 2.
A mark ☑️ in section 1 or 2 is worth exactly the same as a mark in section 3 or 4.
