can anybody help me revise this letter? :-) Hi everybody! I would be VERY grateful! :) Dear, I am the funder of the Milan LGBT book club. We are a group of 30 tireless readers who meet up once a month to discuss an LGBT themed book. We also go together to book presentations, shows and cultural events, and naturally there is our special "literary petit dejeuner", which is our regular literary breakfast. A few months ago, while surfing the web, I discovered the London LGBT book club. I was wondering wether you might be interested in doing a sort of "exchange": I was thinking that, next year, we - the members of Milan and London book club - could select and read the same book and that we could come to London to join you and discuss it. The majority of us are very good English speakers (two members are mother-tongue and english teachers) and would read the book in English. This might be a great way to build good cultural relationship between us. I am very exited about this idea and I hope that it sounds a good to you as well!

IELTS writing task 1... describing a pie chart Thank you so much if you will provide some useful corrections and tips! The pie char below provides data on the average age of yemen and italian inhabitants in 2002. It also shows future projection for 2050. Ages of people are divided into three categories (0-14 years; 15-59 years; 60 years and older). Overall, by 2050, the number of 15-59 year old people is expected to increase in Yemen, whereas in Italy it will fall. At the same time, while the feature for people older than 60 is forecasted to increase in Yemen, it will impressively grow in Italy. As we can see from the chart, in Yemen, in 2000, people aged 0-14 years accounted for over half of the total; this feature is expected to decrease in 2050, when they will be around 37% of the total population. At the same time, the group of middle aged people (15-59 years) will increase (rising from approximately 47 % in 2000 to around 57 % in 2050). It is clear that the number of old people - aged more than 60 years - won't change remarkably. On the other hand, the Italian situation is fairly different: while 15-59 year old italians accounted for 61,1 % of the total in 2000, this feature will drop in 2050, when there will be less than 50% of the people. The same downward trend is expected for 0-14 year old pepole, whereas the amount of ITalian aged more than 60 will significantly rise (growing from 24.1 % to 42.3 %).

IELTS writing task 1... describing a bar graph! Hello everybody! I would be thankful if someone would help me correcting this short essay (you'll find the image described below). Thank you so much, your help will be very helpful to me. The bar graph below provides data on the total amount of time (in billion of minutes) spent on telephone in the UK, sorted by three different types (local; national and international; mobiles) over a 7 tear period of time (from 1995 to 2002). Overall, during the period considered, the vast majority of calls were made toward local numbers; while local communication has been fairly steady, both national/international and mobile calls have growth. As we can see from the graph, British people use telephone mainly for making local calls: the number of this type of calls have slightly increased from 1995 to 1999, when it reached it peak (with precisely 90 billions of minutes of transmission), and then started to decrease, reaching again, in 2002, approximately the level of 1995 (slightly over 70 billion of minutes consumed). While there has been a constant growth in national and international calls (consumers spent almost 40 billion of minutes using telephone in 1995 and above 60 billion in 2002), the rise in mobile calls has been significantly remarkable. In fact, the trend is impressively upward: if in 1995 British people used mobile phones for less than 100 billion of minutes (approximately 5 billion), in 2002 this feature is far more than double that of 1997 (as we can see from the graph, around 45 billion of minutes).

IELTS writing task 1... describing a map!!! Hello everybody! I would be sincerely thankful if you'd find the time to correct this piece of writing! :-)))) Thank you in advance for your precious help!!! The maps illustrate how Stokeford has changed over a 80 year period of time (from 1930 to 2010). Overall, as we can see from the two maps, during the period considered, a great deal has changed: while in 1930 Stokeford was a small village where many areas were mainly occupied by farmland, nowaday these fields have been completely replaced. In 1930, Stokeford had just one main central street, surrounded by farmlands, gardens of a lavish large house filled with different types of trees (like pines) and a small amount of houses. Over a 70 year period, many things have significantly changed: in fact, in 2010 farmlands have disappeared and, as the second map shows us, they have been replaced by houses. Also the villa does not exist anymore: now, in the same area, a retirement house is located, which is double size of the old building and has only pines in its gardens. Due to the increase in population, the primary school has been extended and new shops have been built on the left hand side of the main street.

IELTS writing task 1... so difficult!!! Hello everybody! I would be very thankful if someone would read this text and correct my mistakes. This line graph provides data on the evolution of three different types of crime over a 9 years period (from 2003 to 2012). Overall, the amount of crimes have diminished over the period considered. However, while the number of burglaries and robberies have become fairly stable since 2009, the amount of car thefts have, on the contrary, returned to rise. As we can see from the graph, over the recent years (2007-2012), the most common crime committed is theft of cars: in fact, the number of this type of wrong has increased from about 2250 in 2007 to 2750 in 2012. Meanwhile, it is clear that the amount of burglaries has significantly dropped (it reached the peak of approximately 3250 in2004 and then started constantly lowering, reaching the number of almost 1500 in 2012). The graph also demonstrates that on average the number of robberies has remained quite steady over the period considered.
