hello i am khadem from Pakistan i really so happy for this act of kindness, it is very informative for every one.

remember to listen for the "s/es" at the end guys, if the word is not in its plural form when it's supposed to be you will lose your mark

Thank you so much for your help. I've got 9 in listening again thanks a lot.

Hi, Chris, I find your idea of taking notes is quite suitable for me as I am qualified stenographer taking notes @ 120 w.p.m. So I feel one should be rapid in taking down the notes accurately. For those who are slow in taking notes, its difficult i thought.

the note-taking tip is really useful

Your teaching method is excellent 👍

Had difficulty understanding scottish accent on my first attempt in Ielts. Got 5 in the listening test. Was way below the score I required.

Thanks for your concerns about test takers

Hi Chris. Thank you so much for sharing useful tips. Im waiting for writing tips

it is important to look at questions first

hi Chris, you are really really great guide. highly appreciate your great job

Appreciate this ,I have learnt more

Thank you, Chris

Thanks for these useful advises.

I am having trouble taking notes and listening simultaneously. Any tips?

May I know the Live class time ? I am Bangladesh.

Thanks Chris. What did you mean by Red hailing in your explanation?. Thank you.

Thank you so much

hey chris, membership is for month or for one day

Hi sir, Are we allowed to give option to the examiner in our ielts listening and reading test? For eg: if we are not sure the answer is plural or singular, can we write like: CAR(S) Thank you

I've got 8/10, missed the safety rules and guests questions. Not bad

Will I be given marks if I end up writing sensible synonyms in an ielts listening test.. for example if the answer is 'hard' and in meaning 'difficult' makes sense, will I loose mark for writing 'difficult' as an answer instead of 'hard'?

Thank you so much ♥♥.

Will it be wrong if I first write C than A because that's how I get my answers

Can i use capital in listening test in computer based?

Hello, thanks for your useful videos sooo much, I am eager to show my essays as I need your feedback

Is computer based listening provide a sheet of paper to take note?

Effective strategies indeed. Chris, I've scored 9 in my listening section. Last time it was 8.5 but this time it's 9! I can't thank you enough, Chris.

Sir Chris strategies are the most successful one's i have ever seen, was fan of his reading tips and now for listening note taking tricks, can't thank you enough Chris!

"It's all about tricks in the listening" - gap filling -> dont take notes - multiple choice -> taking notes highly recommended - always write CAPITAL letters (easier for examiners to read and understand)

I felt like your this session was comparatively easy then the one we are going to face in real exam. I have answered all the questions correctly. Thanks for your support. Hope to get more class on listening.

I’ve just recognized worried thing about gym. In my language and culture GYM means exactly and only “heavy athletics” - weightlifting. And FINTESS, overwise, means only “light athletics” where sportsmen lift up only their own weight. But here Chris said that GYM equals FITNESS. How many identical terms in our languages have different meanings?..

You're one of the few IELTS teachers who suggests taking notes while listening, and from my own experience it can make a big difference, particularly for multiple choice and matching questions which usually come with a lot of synonyms and distractions. Thanks for your helpful tips

I got 7...in my 1st attempt and it was the highest score among all 4 tests ...got surprised....becoz I found it really tricky...1 audio played fast...I followed Chris's strategy of making notes while I was quickly reading the booklet..it really works.

You are really a good speaker. Your pronunciation is so clear and it can be helpful for me. I always try to following you Through the watching video. The most important thing is that, you talking style is really impressive. Thank you.

Hello Chris, I have one inquiry about adding the letter "S" is it okay if we miss it? for example Tutor arrangements, but we wrote Tutor arrangement. Thank you in advance.

hello everyone i'm Khurshidbek

Thank you for your videos, they helped me prepare myself for the IELTS exam. Got 7.0

I joined today and it was so helpful with the tricks u gave.I got 9 out of 10

Hi Chris :) Great class as always! I was looking forward to learn your listening tips. Since you mentioned the difference between American and British spelling, I wonder if the IELTS examiner could mark us down if there is any inconsistency on the use between the two. I notice that sometimes I use both at the same time and I don't know if I should get worried with this.

Thank you very much mister Chris. Video is really useful and I understand my mistakes

Listening has been my achily's heel despite practice. Last time I got only 5.5 in this module and reappearing for a better score. Your videos are very helpful. Kinldly let me know the fee particulars for joining your Listening module classes. Your analytical skills are superb.

It’s very practical and helpful to me! Thanks

I want to thank Chris for the great job that he is doing here. Today I received my results and listening was 8,5. It is due to his videos that I achieved that score. Thanks once again and Merry Christmas 🎉🎉🎉

Sir, please don't remove any video .Because this is very important for those who join later on this channel.

I got 7 correctly. For ques 7, i wrote "access" instead of "free entry"

Hey Chris, I just wanted to let you know that I got my results on 11/17/21. I got an over all band 7.0 (S- 8.0,W-5.5, R-7.5,L-6.5) I am very thankful to your videos they've helped me improve even better in the speaking part. This was my first try and I am very thankful to you and Saskia.

As much I as I want to take a note too but in computer based exam will have only a few minute to fill out the answer.

An amazing class Chris, thank you. For questions 1 and 2 can one put C and A in the order its suppose to be. Is it acceptable?

Hi Chris.. I took my test today.. (20 Nov '21) Thought I would share the questions here... For speaking :- #Part 1:- • my name? •studying or doing a job? •more info about my job •what I like about my job? • will I continue doing it? #Part 2 Describe a cafe or a restaurant I visited recently •how was the place •with whom I went •why I choose that place •will I go there again #Part 3 •is the place I visited was a cafe or restaurant •what's the difference •do people prefer a cafe over a restaurant •do humans, in general, like to stay alone or get socialized •why would a person choose to be alone •is it good to be surrounded by strangers in a big city Phew...! 🥵 Writing:- ×Task 1 A table was given which shows the info on the water usage(in %) by 4 different countries ×Task 2 When employers choose the best person, personal qualities are given more importance than qualifications and experience. To what extent do you agree with this statement + examples PS :- as this was my first attempt, I was too much worried... I think I messed up with the part 3 questions in speaking. 2-3 times I went off-topic too... 😬 In task 1&2 writing...honestly, I don't have any idea 😐 I was able to manage the time but still worried about the TA, LR and CC...

Your speak is very clear and I easily understand your teaching 🥰

Hello Chris. Which book of Cambridge do you recommend to buy

Thank you a lot, everything is awesome, except for the sound of sipping coffee. It causes .. uncomfortable feeling...lol...Anyways, thanks a lot!

3. Health problems 4. Safety rules

The best channel providing Ielts takers around the world. I am very grateful to IELTS Daily. Thank you so much for giving us golden tips. Keep up the good work🧡

I did my computer delivered test few months ago, there was no pieces of paper given to all categories, except the Speaking part 2. My first attempt for Ielts test done in Australia.

Thank you Chris for always. God’s blessings bro!

doesn’t make any sense..If i just keep note down everything the space will surely be end after 10 words..

In the computed-based test, there isn't any time for transfering your sribble into the computer as the audio will continue to play, is this method still applicable? please answer thankyouu

thank you so much..your class really help me..if i can ask, how about the type question with false or true answer?

Hi Chris, my exam is due on this 26 November, it's computer-based one. May I ask in listening section, they do provide a note for us to jot down some main points? Because I've looked it up on the simulating listening test on IDP website, but there's none so I'm really really scared. I hope that I can receive the response from you soon, or anyone TT

Hi Chris 😊. I took IELTS and my score was 6 at listening . I thought that it was very easy listening, I understood what says but my score could not tell me that .😔

Thanks again. I am improving my listening skills with your useful tricks.

Mr. Chris thank u so much bro. I learn a lot with u greeting from Timor Leste

Oh i alwys stuck in part 3 and 4. I can't able to catch it

Chris thank you very much your reading lessons helped me a lot

Piece of information that is intended to be misleading.

Great tips and tricks. It's really very easy to get the correct answers this way. My only concern is what time would one use during the exam to search through the notes you've made to find the answers?

So many useful points in your videos👍 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU 🌺🌺🌺

hi chris, your tips and tricks is very help full but in the listinig test computer based, is that have enough time to take note?

Sir,how to improve reading its very difficult for me..!??

Thanks sir for making wonderful video 👍😊

Thank you Chris for bringing us this such useful lesson!

More live classes Chris. Thank you for this listening class. I got 9/10 🤗🤗🤗🤗

TEACHER don't forget to translate my vocabulary to learn by watching your youtube video thank you

What if I only take note for the content related to the question but note all the talk? I find it quite difficult to keep up with the speaking speed.

Can the answer for question 5 be training plan instead of plan??

you are an amazing teacher thanks a million for your tips . could i ask ? if i take the paper base test when i compare my note to the long answer in the time between two sections or in the final 10 mints? thanks in advance

Hi there, I needed to know a answer. Can I write my listening , and writing section in CAPITAL letters in CD based IELTS.

Pls as I mentioned earlier, I will do the listening this weekend, pls Abt the MCQs do u write d note n wait after d session b4 u use part of d 10mins transfer period to figure out the answer and then write them? Pls what's the strategy for Maps too

I thought that the word "any" only goes with plural nouns if it is in question/ negative sentences, not the positive one like" any health problems" in the text????

Hey Chris how can I get a youtube membership?

Can we say safety measures rather than saying safety rules in 4th question

Making notes as you listen not a good idea. I don't recommend it. We don't have that much time.

Good day from Adelaide, SA, Australia. Thank you for this lesson today.

Hi, i have a question, if you are doing a Computer Deliver test, can you take notes in a paper?

I wrote "card" for the last question instead of "photocard". Would that be accepted as an answer?

Hi Chris am in Ghana and wont to join

Hi, sir my question is u told to write the answers in capital letters, I need to know whether to write whole word in capital or the first letter only?
