Hello & Good evening sir I am from India and want to take your online ielts Academic course if you provide online. If you do so please provide me with all informations like timing , fee and how to access course
You're very welcome, Tarek. We're glad you find this lesson helpful.

If you have any questions or need our team to help you prepare for your exam, please feel free to contact us.
This reminds me of the movie 3 idiots where Amir Khan defines a machine using simple language instead of memorising the actual definition as per text book. Your instructions are very clear, simple and to the point.
"Keep things simple." That's what I gotta do. I have a command of wide ranges of vocabulary and tend to overuse advanced academic words. Now that I have got some really great and genuine tips, I shall practice accordingly.
I searched a lot of videos about writing and they all focus on idioms, high vocabulary, background data, linking words i was totally confused about it but you are the only one teacher i have seen on TH-cam who teach about facts and what is requirements of idp writing. I think all youtubers and teachers of coaching centres should attend your classes.
I have never practiced writing a single essay, I first time wrote it in the exam and I have scored 7 bands in Academic writing. It would've never been possible if it wasn't about your videos. Thank you so much Chris, You are life saver.
@@Power100b I also needed to practice a lot, and it took me almost two months. However, I just want to share that the guidance from this channel really worked on the real exam. So, other students who are looking for some useful strategies can feel confident following this channel.
I like writing (not the test module, but like poems), and one thing that I have learnt is if your words aren't conveying exactly what you intend to, then it is "Voca-blurry" and not Vocabulary.
man i have been struggling with it because my teacher taught me to follow instruction and memorise to words, I was failing really hard. Thanks to you I have realise what I should do to improve. Best of luck from Vietnam
I was badly pressured in an IELTS coaching to learn those hooks, template, high level words ,but because of procrastinating I didn't done that hard job and now this video 😎😎😎😎.oh boy⭐
I accidentally found your videos and it really make up my mind. As I started to learn writing by my self, it was quite hard for me since i didn't know how to do it appropriate. This video helped me a lot. Thank you for such honesty.
Thank you Chris for your invaluable videos, your honest approach did wonders for me! Thought I’d share my topics and experience from taking IELTS Sunday. It was a last minute booking, plus being busy with work, left me with half a day to prepare!! Speaking went well considering I’m an introvert. Part II was: Describe a situation when you lost an object. What was it? Where? What you did to try getting it back? Took your advice and added extra content not in the 3 bullet points, otherwise I’d be over in less than 30 sec. Part iii the questions moved towards archeologists, their work, should the findings belong to them or the country where they’re found. Listening and Reading weren’t as hard as I expected. Writing: Part I was a pie chart of AU sources of energy in 2008 and projected for 2030. Part II, something in the lines of “In modern society people are moving towards individuality and very small family units”, “Why is that happening?” and “What are the effects?” I initially thought it was the Opinion type but since they ask why and effects, I assumed it was a given fact. Unfortunately, I screw up tremendously here due to very bad time management. I was aiming for band 8 and spent far too long on task I and when I realized I had wasted 30min already. Consequently, I rushed the essay and with 10min to go only had the paraphrase, main intro and conclusion, no main body on why and effects. I ended up not developing enough and with just 215 words! Now, I just hope to get at least 5.5. Advice to future test takers, consider doing the essay first and then part I. PS: I took the computer based version, if not the essay wouldn’t have reached even 150 words.
Hi there, thanks for your comment and for sharing your experience. We would appreciate it if you can share your results with us once available. We look forward to hearing from you soon! Best of luck with your scores.
Hi again, results are out… what a relief! S: 7, L: 7.5, R: 9, W: 6. Overall 7.5 I was expecting 7.5 from Speaking, but I did repeat myself on 2 occasions and ran out of things to say the last 5 sec of task 2. On the other hand, in Japan you’re required to wear mask at all times, which might have affected the clarity of the speech. Listening, I knew I missed at least in 3-4 places, no surprises. Reading was pure perfection, I don’t think I missed any. Found it rather easy. (For matching paragraphs w/ topics I used your and a British Council strategy, reading the 1st and last sentence of each paragraph and simply “diagonal” skimming the mid part) Writing as I mentioned I blew it in the essay being short, but also realized later one of the arguments/examples was not particularly relevant. Overall I am happy but still think my realistic level is around 8.5. Once again, considering the limited time I had, your videos provided a huge help. To anyone looking to prepare for taking the IELTS, stop wasting time and look no further. This channel is awesome but consider investing in their VIP program.
I hope this video doesn’t get banned/demonetised. Like these stuffs are so widespread all over the internet and almost everyone believes them without having any second thoughts in mind. Btw I asked for my scores breakdown from British Council and it looks like task 1 needs more care. Imma go and binge watch all your task 1 videos and read the task 1 related articles from your website.

I'm glad your video was the first one tha popped up to me when i first searched for ilets writing tips, you spared me a lot time searching for tips and maybe i would have followed those advices if it's not for your warning, thank you so much.
No words for your fantastic video . Again! I’ve learnt many things; however, my brain sized up ,when it comes to example linked with recent study/research. I hope you will shed light on it.

Hi, Chris just wanted to say thanks for your videos, I watch them around 2 weeks before my exam and got a 7.5 in writing, overall score was 8.5. Thanks for helping so many of us!
Thank you for clearing up so many misconceptions. It really puts me at ease knowing all of these. I had a mock exam this week at a nearby prep centre , and I was a bit down because of getting a score 6 in my writting section while having 7 and above in others. I can't even begin with the number of times I have been told to use more complex words, connectors and whatever HIGH intelectual jargons i can come up with... even in my speaking feedback. Doing all that not only took a lot of time but also had me repeating phrases several times exactly like you said. Again, thanks a bunch.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad it helped! If there's anything we can assist you with regarding your IELTS preparation, please feel free to reach out.
well even my English center in Vietnam always told us to tell the examiners what we gonna do like "in this essay i will edumbrate my view on..". After watching this video, i came to realize this is what i trully needed
Yes that’ truth what Chris say I watch the video what can do 5 words vocabulary so I don’t know about the trips or tricks. What I did was learned writing &improve what was found Changed the sentence and I got wrong 2 times. But 3 times as the answer for the question works as much not Linking words so I got writing& improve sentence amazing improve thank you Chris.

I've learnt a lot of things from you. Before now I've been practicing with one of the TH-camrs u blurred(name withheld), while teaching,I thought she was teaching the right thing yet wondered why I got a band 6 in my writing after watching her videos. Thanks so much for this.will put them into work henceforth.
You are most welcome, Tilda. Glad you find this lesson helpful. If you have any questions or need our team to help you prepare for your exam, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you so much!! L8.5 R8.5 W6.5 S7.5 overall 8.0. Thrilled to get this as a first timer, without much preparation, only know what is writing by this video and practice for 2 days.
Thank you for the lesson, it helps me pretty much! I reached 6.0 in Writing, used to write with large of big words, one of my problems. Another is lack of experiences, especially in social life skills or information. I don't know where to start with, nothing was in my mind whenever I want to describe something, even the most easiest word.
Hi there, congratulations! I hope it satisfies the score that you need. Good luck for the future! If you ever need any help in the future, you know where we are.
You are right i watched that 5 fancy words to use in ielts, surprisingly my score got stock at 5.5 all of my 3 times attempts no improvement what soever. What you are saying is making sense, i will try to do it hopefully i will score higher this time.
Hi there, we'd be delighted to help you achieve your desired band scores. We have a range of course options which are suitable for your needs. Send us an email so we can discuss the options available to you.
Before I discovered this amazing channel, I was very afraid of Ielts, like most students. We are taught to memorise everything. They always say that we do not need to find out logic. The easiest way for themselves is to throw us all these lists and templates and say "you have to learn complexity". I have never planned to get Ielts just for that reason. I am neither a robot nor a dictionary, language is just a means of communication. Why should I pretend to be a robot? Moreover, why everyone forgets that examiners are just human like us and all we need is to communicate in normal accurate way? However, just 2 days ago my view on Ielts has completely changed. I discovered you and your amazing approach. I have watched almost all your videos. I promised myself to prepare myself not because I need to get points but because I was amazed from your mentality and met my thaugts about exam. We just need to learn (if you want you can use "memorise") this simple language approach and maybe this is the hardest thing about Ielts. Don't be afraid everyone, let's go.
Woo, This is a very good video for the writing module. I was following the same wrong tips last week. But I am happy now, at least I have watched my mistakes on time. Thanks for sharing wonderful knowledge.
It’s not about using a lot of “high level” words…It’s about having the use of “high level” words if you were to need them. So basically have a good amount of vocabulary in your word bank is extremely useful!
Such a great video! I am happy that I am now able to find a video that really helps me with writing. I am going to give an exam very soon, so I'm glad I saw this video. Thank you so much!😊
Thanks chris for your wonderful lessons, especially in writing where your advice were really Helpful. you always told to make it simple and don't hesitate to repeat same words that was very fruitful. I got 6.5 in writing and that I'm very happy with. thanks chris keep helping others and continue your great work.♥️
Hi there, please read this article from our website 'IELTS Advantage- My IELTS exam is tomorrow, what should I do?" for some last minute tips. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Best of luck with your test.

1. use advanced C1/C2 words only if you are totally sure they are accurately used and understandable. 2. do not overuse linking words, especially at the beginning of sentences. use linking words only if they fit the context. 3. correctly use many grammatical structures. range and accuracy both playing significant role. 4. repeat a word if you are not 100% sure about an alternative word. change the word if it matches in meaning and you know how to spell it. 5. never use templates in Writing Tasks! instead of using hook in your introduction, just paraphrase the task's question. 6. Statistics can have negative affect on your score band. instead of using percentages/figures, generalize the data, but save the meaning of your sentence. Example in video: 33:19 7. Idioms are informal, whereas WT2 requires formal language. therefore, do not use them. 8. Write between 250 and 350 words. also, i have a question, is it necessary to use TEEL structure and how it affects on my score? Is it possible that examiners just tired to see this structure?
I swear I just watched some videos from this channel and got 7 band last time and I am doing the same this time, it is really easy to follow these steps and tricks rather than going through so many channels and courses. Less confusing
Hi Chris, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your free advice and lessons! I studied for less than 2 months-intensively- following you on TH-cam and I got the scores I need. I needed 7 for LRS and 6.5 for W and after all the hard work I’ve got 7.5 for L&R, 7 W and 8 for S. I was absolutely sure that I will get a 6 for writing because I wrote under length for both tasks and I repeated quite a few words. Good luck to everyone about to sit this exam and don’t forget one thing: hard work always pays off.
Hi Chris, Thank you very much for your wonderful videos and the free IELTS material which is available on your website. I have given my IELTS General Training exam on 29th October 2022 and scored an overall band score 8. I got 9 in reading, 8 in listening, 8 in speaking and 7 in writing. Whenever I faced any difficulty I simply referred to your videos or material. Once again thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.
Someone suggested to me focus on your vocabulary and sentence structure it will Help in getting high Brand score.this video change my mind.thanks a ton
Hello sir.I got results yesterday, overall is 7.I want to say thank you so mush.Your videos helped me a lot,i didn't buy any vip course,i just watched your great videos 😁

Tip 1. Writing is about communicating you thought and ideas to the reader, it is not a vocabulary test. Tip 1.1 - Do make your text easier to understand, using appropriate words. Tip 1.2 - It’s better to try use specific words, but it should be under your control. Tip 2. Using linking words helps your text to be more logical. Tip 2.1 - Do not overuse linking words, reading should not to pay attention on it. Tip 2.2 - There is no need to use linking words at the beginning of every single sentence. Tip 3. Do follow the balance between accuracy and grammatical range Note: If you want to get more than 7 score, it’s necessary to have at least 50% of your sentences written without zero grammatical errors. Tip 3.1 - In fact, an accuracy is more important than a range, range will care itself. Tip 3.2 - It’s better to use those grammatical constructions that you are completely sure, but it’s better to write using complex sentences, instead of simple, as well (using ‘because/while’, instead of ‘if/meanwhile’). Tip 4. You can repeat words in your text. Tip 4.1 - If there is need you can repeat the word; if it’s not, change it to something you are completely sure about. Tip 4.2 - Do not overuse basic vocabulary, especially if you are making mistakes there or use it inappropriate for the task. Tip 5. Do not use hooks and memorized templates. Tip 6. Stop using statistic or research to the topic. Tip 7. There is no need to use idiom in writing part.
I was doing the same mistakes which you told me in this video in my practice tests😂 Thanks to youtube and Ielts Advantage that I watch this video so I will not repeat the same mistake again😍

My instructor just literally also used the outline thesis like the....(topic) is further discussed below... and idiom part too😅 I am glad I looked this up.
I appreciate your work because I thought that i need to improve a lot in writing task 2 by watching many popular online videos.however , you proved it unnecessary.❤
I usually don't comment on videos but I really had to because of Chris! Your videos were extremely helpful and because of you I score L-9, R 6.5,W-7,S-7 overall - 7.5. Thank you !!! You are amazing!
Thank you so much .Your tips really helped me a lot to pass my IELTS IDP academic.I followed your tips and emerged with a band score of 6.5 overall(Listening 6.5, Writing 6.0, Reading 6.0 and speaking 7.0).Am happy getting such score after preparing for only two weeks.Thanks a lot.Your tips are practical.Thumbs up👍👍
Thanks Chris, your videos helped me to get band 7 in IELTS (first attempt) and especially improve my writing skills from 5 to 6.5. L - 8, R - 7.5, S - 6.
I used chatgpt to correct my essay with "fancy" words and I got a 6. Then I took the same essay and each phrase I simplified has given me a higher score

Very good video: sources, clear, straight to the point. I like how you analyze things and compared informations to illustrate your words, thank you so much! I am going to use it on my TOELF test.
Glad it helped!
Hi, Chris just wanted to say thanks for your videos, I watch them around 2 weeks before my exam and got a 7.5 in writing, overall score was 8.5. Thanks for helping so many of us!
Fantastic!
Thank you for your honest explanation and effort. God bless you!
a W teacher and a W video. Your points that you mentioned are absolutely legit 🎉
Thank you for clearing up so many misconceptions. It really puts me at ease knowing all of these. I had a mock exam this week at a nearby prep centre , and I was a bit down because of getting a score 6 in my writting section while having 7 and above in others. I can't even begin with the number of times I have been told to use more complex words, connectors and whatever HIGH intelectual jargons i can come up with... even in my speaking feedback. Doing all that not only took a lot of time but also had me repeating phrases several times exactly like you said. Again, thanks a bunch.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad it helped! If there's anything we can assist you with regarding your IELTS preparation, please feel free to reach out.

well even my English center in Vietnam always told us to tell the examiners what we gonna do like "in this essay i will edumbrate my view on..". After watching this video, i came to realize this is what i trully needed

I've learnt a lot of things from you. Before now I've been practicing with one of the TH-camrs u blurred(name withheld), while teaching,I thought she was teaching the right thing yet wondered why I got a band 6 in my writing after watching her videos. Thanks so much for this.will put them into work henceforth.
You are most welcome, Tilda. Glad you find this lesson helpful. If you have any questions or need our team to help you prepare for your exam, please feel free to contact us.
Thank goodness ‼️ I found this great teacher...I'm ma gonna stay glued here until I pass my test
Wow .. just another customer
English is my first language but I still, somehow overthink my abilities. So thank you for being here for me.
Thank you so much!! L8.5 R8.5 W6.5 S7.5 overall 8.0. Thrilled to get this as a first timer, without much preparation, only know what is writing by this video and practice for 2 days.
Congratulations!
Well explained. Thank you so much. It makes me feel comfortable taking the writing task in IELTS because of your tips. God Bless You!
Thank you for the lesson, it helps me pretty much! I reached 6.0 in Writing, used to write with large of big words, one of my problems. Another is lack of experiences, especially in social life skills or information. I don't know where to start with, nothing was in my mind whenever I want to describe something, even the most easiest word.
Hi there, congratulations! I hope it satisfies the score that you need. Good luck for the future! If you ever need any help in the future, you know where we are.
You are right i watched that 5 fancy words to use in ielts, surprisingly my score got stock at 5.5 all of my 3 times attempts no improvement what soever. What you are saying is making sense, i will try to do it hopefully i will score higher this time.
Hi there, we'd be delighted to help you achieve your desired band scores. We have a range of course options which are suitable for your needs. Send us an email so we can discuss the options available to you.
Thank you sir i got 8.0 overall L-8.5 R-8.5 S-8.0 W-7.0 after following you
That's amazing! Congratulations! If you need help in the future, you know where we are.
Before I discovered this amazing channel, I was very afraid of Ielts, like most students. We are taught to memorise everything. They always say that we do not need to find out logic. The easiest way for themselves is to throw us all these lists and templates and say "you have to learn complexity". I have never planned to get Ielts just for that reason. I am neither a robot nor a dictionary, language is just a means of communication. Why should I pretend to be a robot? Moreover, why everyone forgets that examiners are just human like us and all we need is to communicate in normal accurate way?
However, just 2 days ago my view on Ielts has completely changed. I discovered you and your amazing approach. I have watched almost all your videos. I promised myself to prepare myself not because I need to get points but because I was amazed from your mentality and met my thaugts about exam. We just need to learn (if you want you can use "memorise") this simple language approach and maybe this is the hardest thing about Ielts. Don't be afraid everyone, let's go.
Thank you for your kind words! If you have any questions or need our team to help you prepare for your exam, please feel free to contact us.
Thank you for your tips, they helped a lot, especially in the writing and speaking. I got R 8.5, L 8.5, S 7.5 and W 7.
Overall 8
Well done, Paula! If you ever need any help in the future, you know where we are.
Really you are the best teacher I have ever seen my life I will took ielts on December I wish to High score

ig this is the most reliable channel regarding IELTS on youtube, thank you so much
It’s not about using a lot of “high level” words…It’s about having the use of “high level” words if you were to need them. So basically have a good amount of vocabulary in your word bank is extremely useful!
Such a great video! I am happy that I am now able to find a video that really helps me with writing. I am going to give an exam very soon, so I'm glad I saw this video. Thank you so much!😊
You are most welcome! If you have any questions or need our team to help you prepare for your exam, please feel free to contact us.

I found this video the most useful in my whole research about IELTS because of the clear explanations of the band descriptors. Excellent!
Could we be friends?
You're such a great teacher. You helped me get a band 7.5
Great job!
Thanks chris for your wonderful lessons, especially in writing where your advice were really Helpful. you always told to make it simple and don't hesitate to repeat same words that was very fruitful. I got 6.5 in writing and that I'm very happy with. thanks chris keep helping others and continue your great work.♥️

You're very welcome! If there's anything else our team can do to help you, please feel free to contact us.
1. use advanced C1/C2 words only if you are totally sure they are accurately used and understandable.
2. do not overuse linking words, especially at the beginning of sentences. use linking words only if they fit the context.
3. correctly use many grammatical structures. range and accuracy both playing significant role.
4. repeat a word if you are not 100% sure about an alternative word. change the word if it matches in meaning and you know how to spell it.
5. never use templates in Writing Tasks! instead of using hook in your introduction, just paraphrase the task's question.
6. Statistics can have negative affect on your score band. instead of using percentages/figures, generalize the data, but save the meaning of your sentence. Example in video: 33:19
7. Idioms are informal, whereas WT2 requires formal language. therefore, do not use them.
8. Write between 250 and 350 words.
also, i have a question, is it necessary to use TEEL structure and how it affects on my score? Is it possible that examiners just tired to see this structure?
thanks for the effort man
My IELTS test is in a few hours and I'm watching this video to refresh everything I've learned over the course of a month. Wish me luck!
Good luck!
I swear I just watched some videos from this channel and got 7 band last time and I am doing the same this time, it is really easy to follow these steps and tricks rather than going through so many channels and courses. Less confusing
Glad it helped!
Hi Chris, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your free advice and lessons! I studied for less than 2 months-intensively- following you on TH-cam and I got the scores I need. I needed 7 for LRS and 6.5 for W and after all the hard work I’ve got 7.5 for L&R, 7 W and 8 for S. I was absolutely sure that I will get a 6 for writing because I wrote under length for both tasks and I repeated quite a few words. Good luck to everyone about to sit this exam and don’t forget one thing: hard work always pays off.
This is good news, Adela. Well done! If you ever need our help in the future, you know where to contact us.

Thank you, sir. This video makes my confidence level so high to sit for IELTS exam.
Glad we could help.
Tip 1. Writing is about communicating you thought and ideas to the reader, it is not a vocabulary test.
Tip 1.1 - Do make your text easier to understand, using appropriate words.
Tip 1.2 - It’s better to try use specific words, but it should be under your control.
Tip 2. Using linking words helps your text to be more logical.
Tip 2.1 - Do not overuse linking words, reading should not to pay attention on it.
Tip 2.2 - There is no need to use linking words at the beginning of every single sentence.
Tip 3. Do follow the balance between accuracy and grammatical range
Note: If you want to get more than 7 score, it’s necessary to have at least 50% of your sentences written without zero grammatical errors.
Tip 3.1 - In fact, an accuracy is more important than a range, range will care itself.
Tip 3.2 - It’s better to use those grammatical constructions that you are completely sure, but it’s better to write using complex sentences, instead of simple, as well (using ‘because/while’, instead of ‘if/meanwhile’).
Tip 4. You can repeat words in your text.
Tip 4.1 - If there is need you can repeat the word; if it’s not, change it to something you are completely sure about.
Tip 4.2 - Do not overuse basic vocabulary, especially if you are making mistakes there or use it inappropriate for the task.
Tip 5. Do not use hooks and memorized templates.
Tip 6. Stop using statistic or research to the topic.
Tip 7. There is no need to use idiom in writing part.
this one is out of the world 🔥🔥
