Answers
-
- a) self-isolate. The answer is not quarantine. This is something you are expected to do on your own in your own home, not in another designated place.
- b) persistent. The answer is not “dry”. Although Coronavirus does cause people to have a “dry cough”, so does central heating and other things. What we need to look out for is the persistent nature of the cough. It does not go away. Another possible answer might be “a persistent dry cough”.
- c) respiratory or acute respiratory. However, generally speaking if the person already has symptoms of Coronavirus and then develops acute respiratory problems, that is the time to reach out for medical help rather than just self-isolating.
-
- a) distancing
- b) transmission
- misinformation
- ramping up
- surface transmission
- asthma
- pandemic
- altruistic
- utmost

Dear Liz,
I hope this email finds you well.
I had to pass IELTS test once when I was in Saudi Arabia a few years ago. I had only ONE week after registeration. That was in Ramadan, and I was fasting on a hot day trip to Jeddah in the west from Jazan in the south. I had only your very useful videos, audios and exercises, along with my prayers.
I passed.
Thank you very much.
It’s lovely to read your message. Very well done with your results 🙂
Thanks millions Liz. It is wonderful.Thank you for sparing your humble time .
God bless you.Stay safe.
I thought am vast with enough information and words regarding corona virus not until i went through yours, it was wow………………learning never ends..
I doff my hat..
Thanks so much liz
Glad you feel so positive about learning 🙂
You are so amazing. Your teachings are top notch and easy to comprehend..Keep up the good work and more power to your elbow. As regards the listening part, how audible is the speaker please? Cheers.
I’m glad you like my lessons 🙂 Do you mean the speaker in the IELTS test? Many test centres using headphones and that is preferable. However, you will need to check if there are any test centres in your country that use them. If your test centre using speakers, the quality will vary depending on the centre and country. Some will be better than others. You can ask to have the volume increased if required – speak to the invigilator before the test about it.
Thank you Liz so much for sparing your humble time for us freely! You’re such an amazing teacher 😍. Please keep up the spirit and may God bless you abundantly 🙏 am reading hard and hoping to register for the exam immediately after Covid19. Am in Uganda, and i pray your guidance does wonders to me. Am looking up to 7 in all the skills as a requirement for my profession. Thank you Liz so much. Be blessed dearly.
Take your time with the lessons. There is also vocabulary, language and sometimes pronunciation to be learned from many other lessons. Wish you lots of luck. Stay safe!!

Hi Liz,
I am Tahsin from India.
I dream of settling down abroad but never got myself prepared to be able to get a chance as I have two young kids to chase around. But now I have make up my mind to give it a try. Hence, I did a lot of research about IELTS General Training on the net and I am very glad that I came across your website. But I have a problem. I have no idea where and how to begin my practice. Also I lose confidence when I think of speaking section as my English is not very strong and I don’t have anyone to speak English with. So please please please advise and help me on how to start preparing for IELTS as well as on how to improve my English speaking skills.
I would be very grateful to you Liz…

Hi

Lockdown means you can’t go out. In this case, because of a government order or rule. It could be for any reason. It might be due to war or anything. But “quarantine” relates to disease.
Your teaching method is amaizing, stay blessed stay safe .
Thanks so much for this tips. Just trying to start preparing for thesecond time exam.

Hi Liz,
Just wanted to share good news. I got my score results yesterday and I’m thrilled with my 7.5 overall (Reading 8.0, Writing 7.5, Speaking 7.5, Listening 7.0)!
Since I had just about 10 days to study and prepare for the exam, I really had a hard time looking for reliable sources on the internet when I came across with your website, which was wonderful. I found everything I needed in one place and I can assure you that you made a difference in my exam.
I’m pretty sure I might be able to get a higher score if I take another go at the Ielts exam. (…now that I have obtained the minimum score needed for my MBA at the University of Toronto, I might feel less anxious and avoid the previous mistakes..)
Thanks a million!!! Congrats on your work!
It’s great to read your good news at this difficult time. Very well done 🙂 It often helps to take the test again, but take your time to review your understanding of the test and the band score requirements. Good luck!
How to get a very good score share with me your experience.
This is awesome
Thanks
look forward to the next one
Thanks for sharing this. May God protect us.
