Today we used the marking scheme to evaluate two sample answers to understand what do do and what not to do in the IELTS writing section in order to gain good marks. Next we went over the homework very briefly to pick out the main improvement we can make for next time (commas). We rounded off the lesson my looking at the speaking section as a whole and part one in particular.

In this lesson we went through answers to an IELTS writing paper, which were much improved, especially the propositions. Good work! I look forward to receiving your next written piece and next lesson we will concentrate on the speaking section.

Today we concentrated on task 1 of the IELTS writing section. We looked at the marking scheme in order to be able to create the best answers and therefore get the best marks. We then went through a model answer to see this in practice. Then we took a look at a first attempt at a question to see where things were done well and where things can be improved. I look forward to seeing task 2.

    A Complaint Letter for Correction Hi there ! I kindly ask to correct the following letter. I am currently training my writing skills in English. A "story" for writing this letter is that a few days ago I bought a mobile phone in a tax -free shop and it does not work properly. Dear sir/madam, I am writing you this letter to complain about a mobile phone that I bought a few days ago in your shop. On October 10 at Heathrow airport I purchased the latest model of Galaxy mobile phone . My intention was to use it abroad in order to keep in touch with my business colleagues here in the UK. I was assured by a sale representative that this model would work also in the USA where I was flying to. In addition to that it had a 3 year international warranty and a long list of the most modern features. Upon arrival to the US I followed the instruction written in the technical documentation that was provided along with the phone. To my greatest disappointment I couldn't connect to none of the American mobile phone operators. The phone got stuck with a message "Couldn't establish connection". Because of my disability to be in constant connection with my company, my business trip was not as successful as it could have been. I was even more disappointed when I returned to the UK and again had the similar problem with the phone. This time all the smart phone applications was not working properly so I even couldn't receive or send SMS. I have tried to talk with the service center that is ran by you shop but I was not given any assistance there. I firmly insist on either exchanging the misfunctional phone to a new one or fully refunding me with the cost of the phone. Faithfully yours, Jack Eighter.

    A Personal Letter for Correction Hi there ! I am requested to write a personal letter to practice my writing skills. The topic of the letter is : I stayed at my friend's house and forgot there a file with important documents. I am asking my friend to return this file by post. Dear Lynn, I'm writing you this letter asking you for a favor you can kindly do for me. As you probably remember I visited your hospitable house about 3 days ago when I participated in a business seminar in your city. Unfortunately, when I was wrapping up my belongings for my trip back to the UK, I completely forgot about a file with important documents inside. If my memory doesn't fail me, I left the file on the table that was located in the room I stayed at. The file has a read cover and a tree-colour logo at the top-right corner. I'd be very thankful if you could send me the file by the post. I'll send you by e-mail my exact address in the UK. I'll pay for all postal expenses related to sending the file from Australia to the UK. Thank you in advance, Betty.

    Yes , the Russian expression also has negative context. I would rather compare it to the the greedy farmer from the fairy tale about the goose that laid golden eggs :-)

    A question about an expression or an idiom Hi ! I am looking for an expression in English that means if somebody is allowed to do something , he or she jump on this opportunity and asks for more. There is an expression in Russian that literally says "He is given a finger and he will eat up the whole hand". Is there something similar in English ? Thanks, Boris.

    Hello. Talking about time (pm, am) I am listening for a sound track of learning program in English. http://elc.polyu.edu.hk/IELTS/li/ex/li_ex_tips.htm#2#1#8 One of the characters there says that a film will be screening at 12:30 ( without specifying weather it is 12:30 after noon or 12:30 at night). I am asked to choose one of possible options: 12:30 am 12:30 pm I have chosen 12:30 am and it turned out a wrong answer. Can you please tell me why ? Thanks, Boris.

    Prepositions in English Hello everybody ! I am pretty confused about the way the prepositions are used in English. When should I use IN and when AT ? Are there any rules that can help to understand ? For example what usage is correct : AT the moment or IN the moment ( e.g. IN the moment you finish that , you can call me) IN the end or AT the end. ( e.g. IN the end he changed his mind and bought something else). Thank you for help , Boris.
