Need help with IELTS, specially Reading and Writing. Please help!?

Question

I appeared for IELTS and able to score 7 in listening and speaking, but scored 6 in reading and writing. Need help. Please tell me some personal experiences regarding writing and reading.

Answer 1

I teach IELTS and your experience is common. Improving the reading and writing scores will take time. You need to practice both skills every day and look at tips for doing the IELTS.

Every IELTS book will have the tips you need for reading and writing. There is no special 'trick' to it.

Practicing the reading can be done easily with a book or through typing 'free IELTS reading' as an internet search.

The writing will need correcting and guidance. If you have a friend who has got 8.0 or more on the test, use them. You can also get a private tutor or an online course like mine:

Good luck and practice, practice, practice...
