What is a Compound-Complex Sentence?
We all start out using simple sentences to say things like: 'The dog ate my cookie' or 'Johnny's been in my room again.' As we grow older, we begin putting sentences together to say things like: 'Marcie is coming over later, and we're going to study' or 'After we study, Marcie and I are going to the mall.' Finally, we begin putting sentences together to say things like: 'Marcie is coming over later, and after we study, we're going to the mall' or 'While the dog ate my cookie, Johnny snuck into my room, and borrowed my soccer ball without asking.' We grow from using simple sentences to express simple ideas to using compound-complex sentences to express multiple and more complex ideas.
@ieltslearner
A compound-complex sentence combines the compound and the complex sentence. The compound part means that it has two or more complete sentences. The complex part means that it has at least one incomplete sentence.
Examples of Compound-Complex Sentences
One of the easiest ways to understand compound-complex sentences is to first take a look at the compound sentence and the complex sentence separately.
A compound sentence contains two or more complete sentences joined by one or more of the following words: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.
For example, in the sentence: 'He left, and I never saw him again,' the two complete sentences 'He left' and 'I never saw him again' are joined by the word 'and,' making it a compound sentence.
A complex sentence contains a complete sentence joined by one or more incomplete sentences.
For example, in the sentence: 'Juan and Maria went to the movies after they finished studying,' the complete sentence 'Juan and Maria went to the movies' is joined by the incomplete sentence, 'after they finished studying,' making it a complex sentence.
A compound-complex sentence combines the compound and the complex sentence. It contains two or more complete sentences joined by one or more of the following words: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so, and at least one incomplete sentence.
For example, in the sentence: 'Marie reads novels and Megan reads poetry, but Heather reads magazines because novels and poetry are too difficult,' we have the complete sentences, 'Marie reads novels,' and 'Megan

How to cope with stress on the day of the IELTS exam?
I don't know about you but I always found the day before any test very stressful. Even when I had spent days preparing for the subject, I felt that I wouldn't be able to remember it all on the day of the exam. This all changed for me with a simple tweak in my thought process. One day, instead of wondering weather I would be able to do well in an exam or not, I simply imagined that I had already done well in the exam and I was just travelling back in time to re-live the process. This simple thought changed everything for me.
So instead of getting stressed out on the day before the IELTS exam, remind yourself why you are taking the IELTS exam … What is the ultimate goal that you wish to achieve and why is it important for you to achieve that goal.
Next, fast forward a few weeks from now and you have got the IELTS results that you have been working hard for…
You are no more restrained to go after your dreams and your life is not just about surviving…
… but THRIVING.

#8 IELTS Writing Task 2 Tips:
How To Score A Band 7 Or Higher
May 30, 2014 by Will Gemma
The IELTS Writing Task 2 is one of the most difficult sections of the IELTS. It is, in case you are unfamiliar, the essay writing section of the exam, which means both your answers and your examiner’s opinion are highly subjective. In other words, correct answers are not entirely based on fact.
The key to succeeding in Writing Task 2 is to understand the task, know what the examiners are looking for and use a few of the following tips to score a band 7 or higher (and to avoid common, simple mistakes). And once you know the basics, you can take your score even higher with this top-rated Success in IELTS Writing course.
✍A Brief Introduction: How It Works
@ieltslearner
Let’s just quickly review how Writing Task 2 works. For starters, it’s an essay question. Your response will be based on a short statement or passage. After reading the passage, you will be asked a question that will require you to supply reasons and/or examples to support your claim.
✍How It’s Graded: Your essay will be graded on four criteria: Task Response, Coherence and Cohesion, Lexical Resource, and Grammatical Range and Accuracy. Important: You must note that all four criteria are weighted equally. While this is good news for someone worried about losing half their points on Grammar, it still means you can lose 25% of your score if you neglect just one of them. You need well-rounded responses.
3)Timing: You normally have 40 minutes or so to complete your essay, but that time goes quickly if you aren’t prepared or don’t know what you’re doing. The tips below are designed to help save you time, make you more efficient and provide a fool-proof method of working through an IELTS Writing Task 2,.

1. Answer The Question You Are Asked
It doesn’t matter how intelligent you are: anyone can speed through a question and miss a vital piece of information or instruction. It’s generally considered good test taking skills to underline all important information. For Task 2, you should underline background information in the short passage (and key words in the question itself).
You do not want to simply write about the topic in question. Take the following sample question: “Do you support Mr. Anderson’s claim about violence in our culture?” You do not want to write about your opinion of violence; you want to write about Mr. Anderson’s opinion, which will be supplied in the accompanying passage, and give reasons why you do or do not support it.

2. Original Material
While it’s ok, and sometimes even encouraged, to use parts of the question or passage in your answer, don’t take entire sentences or sections from it. Even if you copy them in an acceptable manner, you are tampering with the ever-important word count. Usually the word count is either 150 or 250 words. You are expected to write AT LEAST that many words, but if you write more than 50 extra words (200 or 300, respectively) then you will lose points for lack of efficiency. When you copy sentences, your examiner will not count them as part of your word count, which means you could accidentally slip under the limit and lose points.
3. Time Management
For a 250 word essay, you should spend about 40 minutes on it (you have one hour to complete all of the writing section, so you will need 20 minutes for Task 1). While you will be feeling rushed to make sure you finish, it’s better to take 5-10 minutes to think about your response and map it out. That still leaves you with 30 minutes to write 250 words; just to give you an example, if you combine “A Brief Introduction” and “Tip #1” from this post, that’s 290 words. What I’m trying to say is it’s not that many words and the examiner is not interested in how much you can write in 40 minutes. The examiner is interested in how well you write, so planning ahead is, truly, one of the most important things you can do.

2. Original Material
While it’s ok, and sometimes even encouraged, to use parts of the question or passage in your answer, don’t take entire sentences or sections from it. Even if you copy them in an acceptable manner, you are tampering with the ever-important word count. Usually the word count is either 150 or 250 words. You are expected to write AT LEAST that many words, but if you write more than 50 extra words (200 or 300, respectively) then you will lose points for lack of efficiency. When you copy sentences, your examiner will not count them as part of your word count, which means you could accidentally slip under the limit and lose points.
