Dear Reshbha,

Thanks for bringing it to my notice. This was actually a well written essay and would score well in IELTS.

Dear Jass,

There is no harm in giving personal examples in IELTS essays.

Every IELTS topic clearly says “Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.”

Dear Diyor,

There is no restriction on using idioms and phrases in essays. IELTS essays are not like the academic essays that you write in university level courses.

If you are given a time series data i.e. data which is spread over days, months or years, then use the tense as per the time period that you are…[Read more]

Dear Babita,

You are on the right track. The first step is to read as much as you can and build up your vocabulary and grammar skills. Next, practice writing letters and essays and try to use the new vocabulary words and grammar that you have learnt.

Dear Elaheh,

Thanks for your comments. After reading the essay I too felt it was a bit sexist. I have removed the reference to women and have replaced it with a more gender neutral term. Thanks for bringing it to my notice.
