2020-11-05 09:19:32 A good IELTS Writing introduction needs only 2 things:

1. A sentence that introduces the topic
2. A sentence that gives a short, general answer to the question
Here is an example of an

IELTS Task 2 question:



As computers are being used more and more in education, there will soon be no role for the teacher in the classroom.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Here is my introduction:

It is true that computers have become an essential tool for teachers and students in all areas of education. However, while computers are extremely useful, I do not agree with the idea that they could soon replace teachers completely.

1. In the first sentence I introduce the topic of computers in education.
2. In the second sentence I answer the question and make it clear. Open / Comment

2020-11-04 08:08:32 Maintaining public libraries is a waste of time since digital technology is now replacing their function. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Answer
Digital technology has without question changed the way we read and access books and this threatens the role of the
public library. My view is that while there is a good argument for saying libraries are much less relevant nowadays, they still perform a vital function and should be be maintained.
The advance of online reading technologies and services is one compelling argument in favour of limiting any funding public libraries. It is now possible to not just buy almost any book you want online through stores such as Amazon, you are also able to borrow books for a small subscription fee from various sites. Indeed, these online services are generally much more comprehensive and reliable than any provided by a local library where you can often have to wait weeks for the book you want. In these circumstances, it is quite possible to argue that public libraries are out of date and have been largely overtaken by technology.
Despite this, public libraries do still have some role to play and it would be a mistake to abolish them entirely. One such role is lending books to children and encouraging children to acquire the reading habit books by having schemes that reward them for borrowing books on a regular basis. Many parents who are anxious about the amount of screen time their children have would much prefer to visit a library where they can more closely monitor the books their children are taking out. Another important role public libraries perform is stocking a wide range of reference books and more specialised books that are typically not available via online services. While these services may be limited, they still matter and show that libraries still perform an important
function.
My conclusion is a mixed one. On the one hand, I believe it is true that nearly all the function of libraries have been replaced by digital technology, but in some areas, namely children's books and reference books, public libraries do have a role to play. Open / Comment

2020-11-01 19:10:52 Do you know the right approach for LISTENING SECTION

When you practise...

1. Your score is not the most important thing

The important thing is what you have learnt by doing the test. Did any of the questions trick you? In other words, what do you need to do to improve your score?

2. Check how accurate your answers are

Be strict with yourself; every grammar or spelling mistake is important. For example, if the speaker says "The library has a collection of newspapers", you must not write "collection of newspaper".

3. Get into the habit of moving on

If you missed something, forget about it and move on. Always prepare for the next question rather than worrying about a previous question. When you are given 30 seconds to check your answers, use the time to look at the next section instead. Open / Comment
