Make the most of your Speaking test:
1)try to talk as much as you can
2)talk as fluently as possible and be spontaneous
3) relax, be confident and enjoy using your English
4)speak more than the examiner
5)ask for clarification if necessary
6)do not learn prepared answers; the examiner is trained to spot this and will change the question
7) express your opinions; you will be assessed on your ability to communicate
8) the examiner’s questions tend to be fairly predictable; practise at home and record yourself

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.

4. Write The Essay First
As I briefly mentioned above, you have one hour to complete Tasks 1 and 2 of the writing section and it’s up to you how much time you spend on each task. Almost anyone will tell you to write the essay first. It carries more weight than Task 1 and this will ensure that you finish it on time. Still, try to keep the time devoted to the essay to 40 minutes or less.
This five-star course on Quality Paragraph and Essay Writing can provide you with a comprehensive refresher on how to construct the perfect essay.
@ieltslearner
5. Coherence And Cohesion Tip
This is one of the four grading criteria. You will be judged on how well you can string together thoughts, sentences and paragraphs. The most difficult thing for most people to accomplish is stringing together paragraphs. There’s actually a rather easy way to do this, assuming the paragraphs you are stringing together are coherent.
Example: Let’s say you are writing about the advantages and disadvantages of using coal as a source of energy. In your first paragraph, you might discuss the advantages, while in the second you discuss the disadvantages. How do you make the jump between paragraphs so that the reader can follow your train of thought? It all happens in the last sentence of your first paragraph; you just need to hint at what comes next: “While coal provides a relatively safe and reliable source of energy, it does not come without a number of detrimental side effects.” Now the reader is primed to read about coal’s “detrimental side effects.” And remember, cohesion accounts for 25% of your grade, so practice a few of these on your own.

فعل عبارتی polish off به معنای مقدار زیادی غذا خوردن، بطوریکه داخل بشقاب اثری از غذا دیده نشه.
زمانیکه شخصی polish off رو انجام میده، یعنی تمام غذای موجود در بشقابش رو میخوره و زمانیکه به بشقابش
نگاه میکنی، حتی اثری یا بقایایی از غذایی که در ابتدا در آن بوده، نیست. بنابراین، اگه بخوایم افعال عبارتی که تا این لحظه
یاد گرفتیم رو مقایسه کنیم،
Pick at < snack on < pig out < polish off
این توالی نشون میده که زمانیکه فرد pick at انجام میده، مقدار بسیار کمی از غذاش رو میل میکنه (مثلا به این دلیل که گرسنه یا بیماره) اما زمانیکه شخصی polish off انجام میده، یعنی تمام غذای داخل بشقابش رو (در یک چشم بر هم زدن) میل میکنه و اثری از غذا باقی نمیمونه.

#Mistakes with verbs
MAY 4, 2016
Here are some common mistakes in the use of verbs.
1)Incorrect: He asked that what I was doing.
Correct: He asked what I was doing.
If a noun-clause begins with a wh-word, ‘that’ is omitted.
2)Incorrect: She asked had we finished our meals.
Correct: She asked if we had finished our meals.
We use ‘if’ or ‘whether’ to introduce an indirect ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ question.
3)Incorrect: Rahul said can he go home.
Correct: Rahul asked if he could go home.
When the reporting verb is in the past tense, the verb in the reported speech should also be in the past tense.
4)Incorrect: He does not care for his father’s words.
Correct: He pays no attention to his father’s words.
To care for is to look after or to provide for the needs of someone.
To pay attention to someone is to listen to what they are saying.
5)Incorrect: James does not care for money.
Correct: James does not take care of his money.
6)Incorrect: He said that he paid the fee last week.
Correct: He said that he had paid the fee the previous week.
This is an example of the common failure to use the past perfect tense in the reported speech when the verb in the main clause is in the past tense.
7)Incorrect: This has been going on since a long time.
Correct: This has been going on for a long time.
Use ‘for’ to indicate duration.
