You know the vocabulary but don't use it naturally.
Your ideas aren't developed clearly.
You're not sure what examiners are looking for.
You study a lot, but don't review and improve.

I am here to say thank you! I watched all of your videos and was able to get the score I needed (a minimum of 7.0 in all bands) to apply for poastgrad in the UK. I really appreciate how clear and concise your videos are. You must have put a lot of effort into making all of them. Would you mind if I share your channel with some of my friends in Thailand?

I just want to thank you for the great content! I received my results today, and to my surprise, I got a band 7 in writing. Your videos helped me a lot! I was so confused about what to write for Task 1, but after watching the playlists on your channel, I felt relieved. In my exam, I had to describe a line graph about the number of exports from Australia to four other countries. I divided the trends into two groups and used the same strategies you mentioned!

Hi IELTS Time, It might be late but I want to say a really really thank you for your videos through this channel. The way you wrapped all videos are amazing and how you share your thinking flow is so impactful. Because of those, I currently hold 7.0 IELTS band scores, and 6.5 for writing score. And this score brings me to the University of Glasgow. Once again, thank you so much. I will tell my surroundings to see this channel and promise to always watch your recent videos. Good luck IELTS time
