What are some other common keywords for Task 2? What do you think are their 'close' and 'loose' synonyms?
👍🏻
It's hard to find synonyms for the word 'people'...
There are individuals, folks, citizens, residents, some, many, etc...
But, as a foreign learner, it is hard for me to understand whether they're 'close' or 'loose'...
Best video before my exam🤟
Very informative and helpful 👍
What about students?
i’m a native english speaker and was surprised to see this video in my recommended, but stayed because i found it really interesting! best of luck to anyone learning english! ❤

@@divyakanwar7941 Hey, I am here to give you a hand and support you on your journey!
@@divyakanwar7941 will you if I ask?
I hope there is a way to inject your English knowledge to me by syringe 😁
Really appreciate how you don't beat around the bush like other IELTS teachers on TH-cam. Others just want to lure the viewers into buying their courses without giving them a reason to trust their teaching style whereas you're selfless and lead by example. Every video of yours contains such valuable yet simple information. Straight to the point. That's the only reason I keep coming back to your videos whenever I have to renew my IELTS score. Your lessons helped me score 7.5 in writing 2 years ago. Hoping to score 8 - maybe even more, who knows - this time.
Thank you very much, Chris!!
You're most welcome, Pratik and congratulations on getting a band score of 7.5 on your previous attempt. If you need help in the future, you know where we are.
is it necessary to use so much vocabulary to make an essay of higher bands. can't we just express our ideas in simple language just by using some connector's and i personally face lot's of problem in TASK 1 because. I don't have that much connectors and i can only write in simple Language. so basically i just want your advice?
All your videos helped me to get 7.5 in writing. Thank you so much. Best writing teaching channel I must say.
Great job! Good luck in the future! If you ever need any help in the future, you know where we are.
Pls can. You share.
What s your fav video by ielts writing?
how many days preparation

Chris method of teaching is the best! I love this method very much. I improved my speaking score with IELTS advantage very quickly from 5.0 to 6,5 in my mock speaking test.
Great job! If there's anything else our team can do to help you, please feel free to contact us.
Hey can you please tell how you improved your speaking I am stuck at 5 bands
We need more videos like this. It was helpful 🙂

Yes
Need more videos like this.
There are a lot of videos like this on TH-cam but we can't trust others.
We want this content from you. AUTHENTIC one.

We are constantly adding videos to our TH-cam channel, please subscribe if you haven't already, and click the notification bell to get notified whenever we have new videos. If you want help from an expert teacher, please email us and we can find a course suitable for you.
What's so beautiful about writing dialog is that you can use any of these terms - keywords or their synonyms - when and where you choose. It all depends on the character in the story. It's like lyrics in songs - anything goes...
Thank you Chris! Gotta need more of these videos. Also, I think another very common word usually found in Writing tests is "teacher". Do you have any suggestions about loose and close synonyms for said term?
Why not use the principles we teach in this lesson to find them yourself?
@@Ieltsadvantage According to my knowledge, the loose synonyms that are frequently mistaken for "teacher" are "mentor, trainer, coach" and the close ones are "pedagogue, educator, schoolmaster/schoolmistress", though I am rather cynical about the validity of the final 2 words due to them sounding a little bit overly academic.
@@absurdmemes3732 I would say educator is the only close one that's appropriate. Remember, you don't have to give many; just show the examiner you are aware of them. There will be other words you can vary to show range too.
@@Ieltsadvantage Much appreciated Chris!
Mr Chris, i really love your videos, those r very useful and ur teaching is awesome. It's simply understandable and easily grab the content in the lesson, an Indian students used to do these mistakes in ielts exam, so, now we r correcting our mistakes through ur videos. Love from India, thanks alotttt😍❤️😍

Your material is one of the most authentic on youtube.
Thank you; that's exactly what we're going for.

How'd it go?
@@deborahakubo7316 how did it go Debby?
Thanks for the advice! Btw, I have an exam coming up next month and started practicing through the official site. In one of the listening exercises where you have to fill in the missing text I had written "don't have" and later it was marked as incorrect. Instead of written abbreviated, the correct answer was written " do not have". I was really surprised.
Thanks a lot, you are the best teacher, and we are lucky to have you.
Thank you Chris, i really appreciate you. Your tutorials helps me a lot.

Thanks for this informative and eye opening video dear Chris . It is absolutely essential to have " a box " of synonyms when doing the writing section 👌👍
Additionally , I`ve got a question as well , is Youth proper for Children or is it just inappropriate like Youngsters ??
Really very interactive teaching style
So meaningful. I hope to see more content like this ❤
thanks sir,it was really useful for me.Tomorrow i had ielts and i hope for the best results.❤
Chris your videos are really helping me,I am going to take my exam on 15 September 😄wish me 🤞🤞
🤞
How was your result
Chris thanks all of your videos, you are totally diffirent teacher it is amazing.
Hi Chris, great video as always! I just have one question. The two words "juveniles" and "minors", according to my knowledge, are usually used in law or similar formal contexts, so should I use these words to replace "children" in all of my essay? Thanks in advance!
Here our trainer ask students to use these loose synonyms and I also use these words before watching this video like masses, youngsters and nowadays 😐😐. Thanks for this video 🙏🙏
Hey bro, Teacher Chris wrote instead nowsadays not nowadays
The meaning of nowadays is clearly written, it says in the present, so I don't really understand
thank you teacher Chris that was perfectly demonstrated
Sir you are doing great job.
I have my test on September 24.
I am watching your videos and very hopeful that I will get my desired band score🤗
Hi Fatima, thank you for your kind words. We wish you the best of luck with your IELTS test! If you need our help in the future, you know where to contact us.
Dear Mr. Chris,
I want to express my gratitude for your excellent IELTS English lessons on TH-cam. Your dedication to helping learners like me is truly appreciated.
I noticed a small typo in this video. The word "nowadays" was spelled as "nowsadys." I thought I'd mention that this particular spelling isn't listed in the Cambridge Dictionary. I believe it's just a minor oversight, and I appreciate your understanding in this regard.
Your commitment to accuracy greatly contributes to the effectiveness of your teachings. Looking forward to more valuable lessons from you!
Best regards,
He did say in the video that it was misspelt. He was giving an example of a wrong spelling.

Nice video sir, 90 % of students in India do these mistakes, should I use the same in university writing??
You do not have to demonstrate as wide a vocabulary at university, but you should be as accurate as possible. In other words, don't get too fancy or try to show off.
Thanks, sir @@Ieltsadvantage

You're most welcome, Sindhu. If there's anything else our team can do to help you further, please feel free to contact us.
We can use mortals as well
I would like to say, someone's son or daughter is sometimes not a synonym for children. You said children are under 18 but if I said grandparents' son or daughter, they won't below that age right
I like it. Thanks
The word "firm" has multiple definitions, not just the one you used in this video. So it can be used as a proper synonym for "company".
،،Thank you so much indeed Mr. Chris for this excellent explanation, I hope you're more creative. 👏.

It's just amazing

Hope u do some writings for high school students(bac)
Dear Chris, what are the best synonyms to the young people? Is the youth OK? What else can we use?
Youngsters
juvenile
@@mandipsinhd7368 I don't think using the word "juveniles" is appropriate for this certain context because I feel like using this word is better suited for situations that include animals as the main topic.
Thanks Chris
You're welcome!

Presently means soon and at present means currently.
Presently means the same as at present - currently. :)
Please Sir, what is the difference between nowadays and nowsadays and which is right?
Thank you
This video broaden my knowledge
That's great to hear! Do you need help with your IELTS preparation?
You will never turn up to your house and say, "Hallo, creator", to your father. 😂
you are fantastic
Flocks loose or close!?
How about switching "people" to "persons"? That should fly right?
I would avoid teaching students that because most will make grammar mistakes if they use that.
I understand sir. Thanks for sharing and see you on Thursday🔥🔥🔥 your sessions aid my teaching too. Love from Nigeria
thank you!

The way you explain is outstanding...
So, “nowadays” is okay to use if it’s spelled correctly, isn’t it?
Hello sir,
Can we use infants word for children or forerunners and upbringers words for parents in writing?
I was thinking of that word myself; 'infants'. Which I believe encompasses the entire prepubescent demographic. But not all children are prepubescents! As for 'forerunners', this is a synonym of ancestor/antecedent. Which refers to those that have come before us; but does not necessarily grant the status of parenthood. Whereas, 'Forebearers' and 'Progenitors' are perhaps more precise in this regard but are probably considered too academic and sesquipedalian in use.
can we also use enterprise for company ??
Can i substitute Projections to Predictions in writing task 1?
Great thanks dear sir
Most welcome
Does "spouse" close synonym with "parent"?
What does the dictionary say?
"Hello, creator,"
It cracked me up😂
