As an IELTS instructor, I can confirm (not that I need to) that this video is a goldmine and it's free. It should really come with a high price but I am happy it doesn't.
Shut up
Where is body paragraph B and conclusions 😐
@@sundarthikeppabhote6683 bro there is no conclusion in Task 1.
@@killua2858 what about body paragraph B
Now that she has all the material on paid basis only, thank you for putting this idea into her head.
I can't imagine the video was created while I was in primary school 8yrs ago.I didn't know what IELTS is but today it's benefiting me plus millions of others..instead of paying Ielts tutor, am here 24/7 to prepare for my exams!! Thank you mummy❤
i just want to thank you for helping me to achieve a good score in IELTS Academic. i got my score today.

You were fabulous from the beginning, always very supporting in every class. there was a positive vibe in every video you posted. i did not go to any coaching for ielts exam and relied on your online videos. all the tips and tricks suggested by you worked. i must say that you are a very good teacher and a presenter . Not many people actually realise the hard work you put in as well .
thank you very much Mam. Wishing you good health, happiness, and success in the coming year and always.
Good
Congratulations on your overall success

I got 7.0 in writing. Overall, it's 7.5. Thanks for all the help. Your channel helped a lot. I didn't join any institute for preparation, just the online content available on multiple channels like IELTS Advantage, Liz, Rob, Asia, and Adrian speaking.
So, I am grateful to all of you guys for providing me with this much help. Thank you very much.
God bless you.
how long did you take to prepare for the test please i got the test in a week s time?

Dear teacher
For the overview part, can I use the words "From an overall perspective" instead of the word overall?
+Otabxxsbek Makhkamov
to Uksom - no, not in that context above; we are being objective here, we state facts -give data. You would use the word '' perspective'' when you need to give your subjective opinion on something.
IELTS Liz nice
HelLO IELTS Liz.I want to say that I understood this video but there's a problem. As you said that we must write 2 Body Paragraphs but my Ielts teacher said thst we must wright 3 body paragraphs.This thing is causing problem.So would you like to inform me the easiest way plz.
I have never commented on any online videos, but I can't deny how supportive this channel is. Thanks very much for your effort.
Answer to Kevin Hardy,
Yes, you need an overview for all types of academic writing task 1. Here's a link to my writing task 1 page with model answers for each type - you will see each one has a clear overview: ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-1-lessons-and-tips/

+IELTS Liz thanks you ma'am for clearing this up
+IELTS Liz Thank You, I find your tips really helpful for IELTS exam preparation.
+IELTS Liz Hi liz I have doubt in my mind in the overview section whether we can begin with "According to information" in place of overall ?
+anand ashok the examiner will not mark you less by using the word "Overall" .... however, consider this: " To sum it all" ...

Thnx for this
How many paragraphs should the essay contains ?
Introduction and overview? Only ?
Units are measured in persentage sterling. It is correct ot not. I am talking about (sterling) after persentage.
Much obliged ❤
Thanks Liz for your classes, I followed your style in writing and achieved 7 bands in my first attempt, I was unable to practice much due to office work but your techniques really worked for me. You are a life saver!! :)
Congrats sis for your band
Can i ask you? Are these courses for academic ielts???
I wana take the general for immigration
@@heaven_lover they are for Academic. For General training you should expect a letter in part 1
@@heaven_lover well done
How many days did you take for preparation?
Congrats dear, how long did you prepare because I barely have time for studies due to my tight schedule
Gave my exam last month and secured a Band score of 8.5 overall. Stoked!
Answer to Kevin Yang:
It's not really necessary to write that the units are measured in percentage in the introduction. You can if you want but it's not actually needed. We mainly note the units if they are calculated in large numbers (units are measured in thousands) or if the units is significant (units are measured in British pounds).
All the best - good luck with your test!!
Liz
was about to ask this question :)
IELTS Liz
specially thanks mam
hi LIZ ..... I WANT TO ASK
shouldn't it be " the least amount of money was spent on perfumes in UK and FRANCE " (not) -> perfume ????
I'm confused about this
Hassan Javed it's because perfume is a uncountable noun 🙂
i searched....its both countable and uncountable ...guess both are correct then :)
Hi Liz, I found you as the most genuine and incredible tutor for IELTS, thanks a lot for making such informative videos
Hi Liz, two years ago I was lost preparing for IELTS, it took me 6 months to prepare and I end up scoring overall band score of (7.5) and (7) in writing thanks to you! Today, I am re-watching your videos again to help a friend in preparation, and I can not stop smiling while watching you! The way you simplify everything, the way you smile while teaching which made me feel I have a friend not only a teacher, it was all astonishing! I've told many about you for anyone who just thought about taking the IELTS. May God bless you and be always happy. I hope to see you one day. Hassan from Egypt.
I'm so pleased you did well in your test. Well done to you. I'm glad you enjoy my lessons. I want people to feel that learning can be enjoyable. The more we enjoy something, the easier it is and the more we excel in it. Thanks for your kind comment :)
@@ieltsliz I can safely say I mirror his sentiment. Unfortunately, I only came to see your videos now after my score of 6.5 in writing section, yet I'm going to be studying all your videos in earnest !
Thanks for the guidance and godspeed in your career.

Could you helpe me improve my writing
I am preparing for an IELTS and my husband recommended your videos saying u are one of the best teachers on TH-cam. I'm really amazed. I've seen for myself that you are doing a great job. Congratulations ma'am.
Now i know why i got low scores in writing tests before. I always disregard the numbers or data thinking that it’s already understood in the chart. Stupid me. Thanks for this!
the one and only hionest and valueable teacher that should be rewarded for her novel work. not driven by wealth but by helping others. salute to you,
For some reason I find Task 1 more difficult to tackle since I'm not that savvy when it comes to graphs and things. But I must say that your video is spot on.. it made me look at it in a different way. I watched other videos but yours is by far the best! Thank you so much for sharing. You got yourself another subscriber! Glad I found this
joladybug84 Writing task 1 (academic) can be difficult mainly because there are so many kinds of task 1: line graphs, pie charts, tables, bar charts, maps, diagrams and also multiple types. So, it can be confusing. But if you learn each type carefully, you will find that it is actually quite simple. Take some time to go through my blog and learn more about each type of task 1.
All the best
Liz
Thank you so much for making these wonderful video lectures. I started watching your videos 4 days before my exam and got 7.5. ❤️
Seriously?
I understand it really well, i speak Spanish but i learn more about this task with your video than Spanish speakers that explains me this
Thank you so much Liz! Your videos and website are quite helpful. I only had 3 weeks to prepare and my writing band score went up frim 5.5 to 6.5. You are an incredible teacher
I'll be taking an IELTS exam for the first time and I can say that all your videos are very informative 😊
Thank you very much!
Got my IELTS score
Listening 9

hey
on your introduction.

6)put measurement for units if given(currency or percentage)
7)Introduction includes no more than 2 sentences
8) Overview at most contains 5 key features
9)Find and highlight key features (the lowest and highest points)
10) Overview usually has comparatives.
11)Name of countryName of nation
12)Body paragraph is made up from A and B paras

1} Distinguish the highest and lowest points to part A,and describe others in part B
2) Distinguish proportions according to similarities

I got my IELTS results today. Listening-8.5, reading-7, writing-7, speaking-7, overall-7.5 within one week of preparation. Your videos helped me a lot! Thank you so much Liz!! Take care!
Great results!! Very well done to you :) Thanks for coming back to let me know and sharing it with everyone :)
Hi please I want to ask you some questions about ielts
Awesome dear Liz, your tranquility is by far the most attention grabber feature of your lessons.
Keep it up
That's a really lovely comment. Thanks so much :)
This is amazing. I wish i had discovered your website before. I had attempted the ITELS general exam last year without any prep at all. My overall score was 7, whereas i scored in 8 and 8.5 in speaking and listening respectively. I achieved a 7 in reading whereas my lowest was 6.5 in writing (primarily because i was unaware of any structure to the writing). In 2 weeks, i am redoing another IELTS with a target of band 9 with the help of your awesome videos. Wish me luck! I'm already feeling confident.
Lots of luck. If you need more in depth training in writing task 2, consider my Advanced Lessons: subscriptions.viddler.com/IELTSLizStore

Haloooo
Hi Liz, I watched all your IELTS videos for my academics examination and it went very well. I would like to commend your outstanding teaching skills. This is a comprehensible teaching method, cheers. Most of the tips and skills I needed were discussed by you as if I am just practicing on the actual exam. The true, false and not given discussion is such a great help as well as for the other sections.
I scored an overall band of 7.5 which is more than enough for my graduate school admission application. I owe you this one. I will be referring you to my friends and colleagues who will be taking IELTS exam soon. Such a great help you are. Thank you. 🙂
That's a great score!! Very well done :) Enjoy your grad school :)

@@nanushrestha5703 Actually I took the IELTS test a long time ago, and for my writing I only got 6.5. I think it would be better if you take a look at Liz's website, and practice with those materials. There's a lot of useful examples and information regarding time, scoring, etc. For the writing task 1 test, I even got lucky and got the same bar chart as the one that Liz provided in her website. For the writing task 2, I suggest you to take a look at her examples and tips, especially regarding "introduction paragraph" and "key linking words". Those really helped me.
