I planned to write 2 essays today to prepare for my toefl exam and this one pops up in my notification. I am so thrilled to benefit enormously from your impeccable essay. You’re videos are superb and it’s brilliant guidance for crushing English proficiency exams. We owe you a lot keep doing it.
Mam for general ielts how we should practice for writing and reading mainly iam weaker with this modules please advice some tips and share some materials to practice really ur inspiration to many people
I just came across your channel and you are such a great teacher! I decided to do the essay and then give a look to yours to compare it. I think my structure is a bit different and not so direct, but if you could give me your opinion, I would be truly thankful! MY ESSAY: It is often argued that the environment is the most important aspect of the well-being of our society. Consequently, some people discuss whether the governments should be the ones to protect the nature or if it should be the society itself. From my point of view, both parties should work and find solutions to fight natural tragedies such as global warming, pollution and wildfires. From the one hand, it is unarguably necessary that the governments should promote and invest on the protection of the environment. These powerful organizations have the capability to find solutions to prevent natural disasters with their money and voice. Therefore, every country should have a meeting to establish the best ways to make sure their society is safe by taking care of their surroundings. For instance, they should create laws that define the limits of usage of fuels and other substances that put the society’s health in danger. From the other hand, people are the ones who partly build our society due to the vast world population nowadays. This means that, even if the most powerful organizations try to begin a new mechanism that will have a good contribution for our ecosystem, it will only work if the people collaborate in it. So, the more people involved, quicker and better results will come out of it. For example, the event Fridays For Future made a huge impact on multiple organizations and made other people realise that something needs to be made to protect our future and, of course, our environment. To conclude, nature is one of the most precious sources in the globe and everyone needs to preserve it. One can argue that the governments should be the principle organ to take care of the environment. However, as I stated previously, the people are the ones who have to make the biggest effort to protect our world.
Well done on the essay. Here are some tips and/corrections. There's no such expression as 'from the one hand/from the other hand' - fix that to 'on one hand/ on the other hand'. Keep your examples away from conclusion. Use them in your content paragraphs (2nd and 3rd). Introduction and conclusions should be more generic :)
Hi there, I just did my IELTS today and this was my essay question. In some countries university students live at home with their families while they study, whereas in other countries students attend University in another city. Do you think the benefits of living far away from home during the university outweigh the disadvantages?
Make sure you make your opinion / answer to the question as clear as possible. That your thoughts, ideas and arguments have a logical progression and you fully cover all parts of the task.
Many 9-band essays have this phrase used in the introduction, so it's perfectly fine. Yes, you can state your opinion in the beginning but it's not compulsory. You can also logically structure the arguments to bring a reader to it in the end.
@@DarianSandmartin Thanks for kind response , but If you come to know about a book covering essays like population explosion, pollution, unemployment , having effective language and collocated words with compound forma, i will be overwhelmingly grateful. Thanks once again
I can suggest one. Diane and Norbert Schmitt. Focus on vocabulary, mastering academic word list. I hope that you can enjoy it. Because it is one of the most important book I've ever met.
Your channel is one of my favorite -if not my favorite- resources when it comes to IELTS. What I like about your content its simplicity as well as the direct style communication.
I am a new subscriber to your channel mam. I must admit that your explanation towards the essay is crystal clear and content been perceived to bring some differences in the actual exam. I was not sure before for how often connecting words should be used to add the value in writing. I can't move from this video without thanking you!
First I watched your video of 2017 and then this one, great changes in your speaking! Does it mean that practice makes perfect?)) well, I'm planning to self-study IELTS to get 8, but I'm not sure where and how to start! Maybe I'll start with your very first video)) BTW thank you for sharing your experience with us! good luck
Yes, you're right! If I took IELTS now, I would probably get much higher than 7.5 that I received for this module in 2017. Please, check my video on how to start IELTS prep - ua-cam.com/video/C1sU1c6r_2k/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video. However I have to respectfully disagree on how you outlined your essay in the introduction; an outline should have the main ideas of the essay. At the end of the day, this is an academic essay. For example, have you ever seen an introduction in a book, dissertation or a research journal where it only mentions "this book will talk about X, or I will debate topic Z" ? No, the writer summarises his or her points. Hope you are open for constructive criticism, and if I am wrong ai would be happy to read why, so I can enrich my knowledge. Thank you.
Hey, thanks for the comment! Your point is completely valid and I share this opinion as well. However, I've seen many 9-band essays that started exactly like this "this essay will..." or "in this essay I will", so I decided to showcase this strategy as well. However, there are many more ways of starting off.
To be specific, I need to address some of your word choice here. 1. Basically what I want to learn from you is about the given example "Eco Scouts' or 'Zero Waste". Is this necessary that these term should be true or exists? 2. For essay structure, I prefer righting every para from the left without leaving any blank before starting a sentences and you used left indent (a shift of sentences at the beginning of every para) 3. For Cohesive devices you have used almost 3 linker at every para that's a fantastic job but sentence structure like "and of course - legislative capacity.' or "decrease in ecological footprint' how to be adopted?
@@DarianSandmartin For 2, i got the answer that I have to use Every Para starting from the left without leaving any indent or space, for 3, The question was how to adopt such difficult phrases so that i can put them to the right place to secure a higher band score.
@@DarianSandmartin it to complicated, moreover band 9 can be also achieved by writing simple words, you just need to communicate your ideas clearly not by using complicated words.
@@DarianSandmartin thank you! I really like you channel! I am studying for my IELTS, and I attended a 2weeks course in York- England after that my score was 6 in my writing, and the din called me and she said that the strategies that I used are no more considered in the writing task. She doesn't know what kind of rules changed. I have been struggling to understand what is happening since them. 😣
Well, i don't see how it's possible to say to someone that their strategy is incorrect and not even comment why or what is right to follow. So it looks strange...
I don't think there are any pattern to sentences, or if there are - we are talking thousands if not more. Each sentence is unique and you can build in whatever share or form is suitable to express your ideas in the best way. Secondly, there is no special "use of synonyms". You should just learn 1-2 synonyms with each new words that you come across. Don't forget to check the differences in meaning as well.

Hi there,
I just did my IELTS today and this was my essay question.
In some countries university students live at home with their families while they study, whereas in other countries students attend University in another city. Do you think the benefits of living far away from home during the university outweigh the disadvantages?
Great, thanks for sharing! In which country did you take the test?
@@DarianSandmartin I did my test in Singapore!
Mam I have problem in task response pls tell what to do
Make sure you make your opinion / answer to the question as clear as possible. That your thoughts, ideas and arguments have a logical progression and you fully cover all parts of the task.
I heard that it's not good to use this phrase " In this essay ,I will "
Don't we need to state our opinion in thesis ?
Many 9-band essays have this phrase used in the introduction, so it's perfectly fine.
Yes, you can state your opinion in the beginning but it's not compulsory. You can also logically structure the arguments to bring a reader to it in the end.
Thank you 🤗
Suggest me any book on general essays for complex language

Hello!
1. I made them up.
2. So?
3. Sorry, I don't really get your question here. You didn't give sentences as examples, you only provided phrases.
@@DarianSandmartin For 2, i got the answer that I have to use Every Para starting from the left without leaving any indent or space,
for 3, The question was how to adopt such difficult phrases so that i can put them to the right place to secure a higher band score.
I'm not sure how to answer the question 'how to adopt the phases'. You just use them where it's appropriate based on grammar and context.
Thanks a lot, that really helped me.
I am happy to help!
Thanks! It's really helpful.
Welcome! Don't forget to check out other writing videos on my channel 😉
to be honest more than 90 percent of people cannot write the essay what you have showed.

@@dai649 nothing has changed . Its the band descriptor only that you should follow

I don't think there are any pattern to sentences, or if there are - we are talking thousands if not more. Each sentence is unique and you can build in whatever share or form is suitable to express your ideas in the best way.

Few days back my dear is back....
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome!

Why not you teach Russian language?
Because I'm not a teacher of Russian. To be a teacher requires training and experience. I have that in English though.
Thank you for your helping
