  2. Dear Liz, thank you very much for this website and all the assistance which you provide to IELTS candidates.
    Could you answer one question, please.
    What is the probability of receiving a DIAGRAM as a WRT1 in the coming month?

    I heard that this type question had been almost completely eliminated from the WRT1 and nowadays chances to get it are pretty slim. However, I would be very grateful if you could give me a hint according to your experience and expertise, whether I should expect such a task or not.

    Thank you very much indeed

  5. Arya Naveen says

    Hai madam,
    I have a doubt that,in speaking section can we stat the section by saying “First of all thank u madam for giving me an oppertunity to speak about this topic”

    • You can if you want but it’s not necessary. The speaking test is informal so you don’t need to use academic linking devices.

  6. sadia says

    hi Liz
    can i discuss both sides in the body paragraphs instead of giving opinion in the introduction and conclusion in a “opinion essay?”

    • The instructions only ask for your opinion. The instructions do not ask you to discuss both sides. You MUST follow the instructions clearly or you will be marked down.
