  3. Hi Liz

    I really appreciate your simple and in detail guidance for self learners but I didn’t find any page for writing task 1 for GT candidates on your website.

    Could you help me for this!

    • Please go back to the main writing task 1 page and look for the Essential Letter Writing Tips link which is further down the page.

    Hey Liz,
    is there any difference while we refer to Floor Location in American English & British English?
    Is Ground Floor in American English = First Floor in British English true?

    • It’s the opposite way round. Ground floor is in the UK which is First floor in the US.

  7. Sunaina Vishwakarma says

    Fee month ago I joined a institute where teachers everyday changed & they teach different different way or method where I was really confused & now leave that institute.i didn’t join any where .

    Now I plan for self study but didn’t get idea where to start my self
    I know there so much stuffs but how I should start please guid me

    • Get a free practice test and do it at home. Make a list of all the aspects of the test that confuse you. Also make a list of all the question types in each part of the test – review and practice each type. That will give you a very clear understanding of IELTS. You can access the main pages of my site through the red bar at the top of my website.

      • shareef mohammed says

        hello Liz,
        yes i made a list of different type of questions where i am confused. among them identification of heading and true or false or not given in reading module confusing me a lot. please help me to get ride off the problems because i have only problem with reading module.

  8. Hi liz ,
    Can I use British slang language in speaking test or not ?

    • The speaking test is informal so you can use informal language but you must always be polite.

  9. Hi Liz,thank you for your wonderful teaching.ln speaking is it ok to call the examiner as madam or sir.

    • No. Using “sir” or “madam” is incorrect use of English.

      • Harpreet says

        Hi Liz..If it is not okay to use Sir or Madam then how should we address the examiner? Please tell..

        • You use normal language. For example: “Can you repeat that please?” There is no title given. You just use the informal “you” without a title.

  10. hi liz
    IS IT GOOD TO GIVE A COMPLEMENT TO EXAMINER LIKE YOU ARE LOOKING GOOD OR YOU DRESS IN OUT OF WORLD. IS THIS INCREASE MY BAND SCORE IN SPEAKING

    • It will not alter your score at all. Particularly, when your compliments show mistakes in English or are learned phrases which are not appropriate for the situation.

  11. Mahmoud says

    Very helpful, thank you

  12. Hi Liz,

    I’m thankful to you for guiding me through..I’m trying to go through all your work although I do not have time to like or comment each topic. Do we need to get western examples or using our own eastern examples is fine. Which we can we score high marks? My favourite movie, favourite novel or person..etc.

    • The examiner is not interested in your ideas for speaking. All the examiner wants is to hear your English. So, you can give any ideas you want and have any views you want. Just relax and be natural and chatty.
