  3. Hi liz. .I want your essay correction service

  4. kiranpreet kaur says

    hello mam ..I have my ielts xam on 8th October n don’t know about speaking test yet.. just wanted to ask that what can be the possible topics in the days ahead and after 8th October.

  5. You are absolutely amazing teacher.Thank u so much all your hard work

  6. Dear Liz – thank you for your very useful lessons. I tutor candidates in preparation for their IELTS tests and find your site very useful. What I would dearly love is to be able to print your lessons. Some of my students come from deprived backgrounds and do not always have access to the Internet – so this would help them a lot. Please consider my request. thank you again.

    • I will certainly consider putting some of my pages as downloadable pdf files. If there are any specific pages you prefer, let me know.

      • Dear Liz – thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I was surprised to receive such a speedy reply. I live in South Africa and have almost become used to ‘African time’ which could mean any time but it doesn’t ever mean ‘soon’! Of course, I would like to be greedy and ask for all lessons! What I would really appreciate is anything on Writing Task 2 – in particular your lesson on linking words. I am really grateful that you have considered my request. My students will be so pleased. Thank you again.

        • I’ve put two lessons in pdf: https://ieltsliz.com/practice-with-linking-words/ and also https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-writing-task-2-should-i-give-my-opinion/. Sorry but it will take me longer to do more.

          I would like to ask your opinion on an idea. Next year, I’m thinking of making worksheets which teachers can download for their students to use in the classroom. All worksheets together would cost the teacher about 5usd which is to cover my admin fees. Do you think this is a good idea and something I should aim for? I value your ideas.

          Thanks
          Liz

            Liz, Like the trainer above, I too use your site extensively to help students. I am in India.
            I use the whole website, especially the speaking part 1 and 2 questions. I also suggest them to see your videos on You Tube since we cannot download or print your lessons.
            It would be wonderful to receive the PDFs as you mentioned above. And Its worth every dollar, if we can use them. Please keep me informed since I would definitely buy whenever you decide to put them up.
            A suggestion, most websites focus on academic task one and I often run out on practice questions on types for General Training Task One (Letter). If you could also add to the GT tasks (type of questions) which you think would help, It would be wonderful.
            Thanks a million times over for the wonderful site
            Archana

    Sorry for delay
    Liz, your blog was really helpful for me to successfully reach overall 6.5 in my first attempt. I only followed your guidance. I was really lucky as I accidentally found your blog and practiced almost all your videos and lessons within less than 3weeks. I followed previously asked questions and prepared my own answers and I found that similar questions can be obtained.
    Hundred thanks for your proper guidance.

    Here are the questions that I could remember.
    Writing task 1
    – A table with percentage of people over 60 in six different regions in 2000 and 2050.
    Writing task 2
    -More & more people drink sugar based drinks. why? Measurements that can be taken to reduce this.

  18. Marta K. says

    Hi Liz,
    I took my speaking test a week ago and got the following topic: ‘ describe a situation where you had to use your imagination’
    – what di you have to do
    – why did you have to do it
    – was it difficult or easy
    In the discussion part I got a question linked to that topic . It was something like ‘ in what jobs do you think imagination is required’
    The discussion part was very nicely organized. The examinar did an exelent job to make me feel comfortable.

    • Thanks for sharing 🙂
