[@katerynalysenko86]

Hello!
I have a question... my teacher told me that I can’t use any specific details in the overview (like you did by saying “average of 75%”)... So isn’t she correct?

[@DarianSandmartin]

Hello! I have never heard of this rule

[@katerynalysenko86]

Darian Sandmartin You don't need to give numbers in your summary paragraph. Numbers are specific details. Just mention general things like 'overall change', 'highest' and 'lowest', without giving specific figures.

When to use ""at about" and "with about"...." at" or with ... in graph.. example: let's start with "at"..... the percentage of males at about 30% in the USA (line graph). the percentage of males at 30% in the USA (pie chart) ... Now talking about "with" ....the percentage of males with about 30% in the USA (line graph). the percentage of males with 30% in the USA (pie chart).

Do you take Academic or General IELTS?

[@andreanasta8106]

Hi, thank you for this video😄 I’m preparing the writing task on my own watching your videos and there is one point that is unclear to me... I didn’t understand why you put the overview as the second part of your text. Does this mean that if I choose the conclusion I’m going to have: introduction, body, conclusion, but if I choose the overview the structure will be: introduction, overall and then body? Thank you in advance

[@DarianSandmartin]

Absolutely, you're right! Its either an overview or conclusion.

[@afsarahmedtalukdar5024]

Its very helpful
Thanks for your advice

[@bakshiSir]

Is there difficult to pass academic Ielts on 6.5 score?

[@DarianSandmartin]

It was not difficult for me to score 8.0. However, some people cna't get 6.0 in many attempts. It's personal.

[@alexarantes2981]

Ajudou muito obrigado.

[@misssomod194]

Love your channel content, can you give me your opinion about the Anki flashcard App, Is it a good technique for memorization sentences?

[@DarianSandmartin]

Thank you!
Well, I've never tried this app and flashcards don't work for me personally. But you should definitely try it yourself to form an opinion.
