Thanks for your ... By: voxguru. on 29 Apr 08, 04:38:35 Thanks for your question. Good point. You shouldn't just use big words to sound impressive. The point is that with a large vocabulary, you have more word-power, more capacity to express your arguments persuasively.

Thanks again! ... By: cafegirl18. on 10 Apr 08, 12:57:10 Thanks again! Excellent .. I really like your explanation. Very clear! But, don't you think that some people will just think its OK to use big words, and is that such a good idea?

Guys, I've taken an ... By: SlayerBY. on 07 Jun 10, 10:53:12 Guys, I've taken an IELTS 5 times, first 3 I got 7 for my speaking. But last two times I've got 6 for speaking and writing, my bands for listening and reading were: 7.5 and 6, second time 6.5 and 7 First, time I had sent an appeal, but they didn't send any clarification on this matter... So I have no my idea what should be improved. I just need to know what have to be done to improve bands... IELTS speaking and writing are known to be unfair.

Ok guys, althought you take many speaking English course, I am sure that you stil are not fluent in speaking. The best way to speak like a native speaker is live in the English speaking country.

Thanks for the tips ... By: sonrisa86. on 15 Apr 10, 05:03:51 Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately I didn't have time to practice but my IELTS is already in 3 hours. You have a very good accent - very clear and .....i just hope my interviewer will have the same!! :)

@motorola99 I agree ... By: sonrisa86. on 15 Apr 10, 05:02:12 @motorola99 I agree... I think exams do not show a true level of knowledge and it's an extra stress.. Many students prepare for the exam but they forget everything after they pass. What is unfair - the price for the exam is the same in every country but the salaries are not the same! Compare to my salary it costs me a fortune! I have my IELTS speaking part in ...3 hours?? And i need to pass this exam cos i wanna study for Masters in THE NETHERLANDS where English is not even a national language

Well said " ... By: Tyropitalex. on 14 Apr 10, 17:59:47 Well said "motorola99" and "voxguru"! IELTS is just another British commercial product !An economic policy only to exploit students' money..and pay England's debts!!!You are obliged to give it even if u already have a CPE (and it's not expired! in two years time)For God's Sake!!Outraging!

@motorola99 ya ... By: varun9t. on 08 Apr 10, 04:52:08 @motorola99 ya thats true, but basicaly they do it, bacause many people go their who do not have a basic english speaking skill or may lack in any english communication, so the schools and colleges have to take the burden to teach them. So now what they have done is to introduce IELTS and ones who do not clear it, or wish not to go through it but still want to go abroad, will have to take a English Language Course at the university, and pay much more than you have to do it for IELTS.

Thanks for your ... By: myhk2000. on 27 Mar 10, 12:56:27 Thanks for your video. I have a question. As you mention in the video, It is very difficult to use verb tens. If a examiner ask me about a movie that I have watched , what tens do I have to use to describe the movie ? Do I have to use past simple ? because the time I watched the movie was past Or, Do I have to? use present simp? because It is a moive which tells a story. Thanks!

Yes. It's a ... By: voxguru. on 26 Mar 10, 02:21:07 Yes. It's a slippery slope. Should our politicians have to sit for a language proficiency test? What next? A test of their integrity or intelligence? What about a test to see if they can understand what most people want - jobs, health care, education for their children, no corruption, no wars.. ?

I don't understand ... By: motorola99. on 24 Mar 10, 21:28:54 I don't understand the use of these exams. It's just to make money from foreign students. I'm pretty sure that if Bush and Palin took the IELTS they perform poorly if not fail miserably.

That's a good ... By: voxguru. on 21 Aug 09, 16:26:00 That's a good question. The IELTS has the backing of some very big organisations - the British Council, Cambridge and the IDP, so it's been promoted by these organisations, and many professional organisations that accredit trainees recognise the IELTS. It's pretty much become a global English entrance exam for university, professional accreditation and migration purposes (for the ES countries).

IELTS is probably ... By: voxguru. on 13 Oct 08, 14:09:53 IELTS is probably more popular because it is rigorously standardised. I know because I'm an examiner. And, it's really up to universities and governments to decide on the English tests they prefer, and the IELTS syndicate have pretty much cornered the market. I'd have to say it's a pretty fair test...
