Actually one thing I want to highlight is that some examiners are not like Eli...they ask the question and only wait few seconds before disrupting our talk with another question. Is this examining method accepted in IELTS ? It happened to me the last time I took...i felt I didnt have enoughr time to actually expand the answers
The examiner is always keeping an eye on the timer as IELTS is a standardized test. Although there is no rule on how long each of your answer should be in Part 1 and Part 3, the examiner must ask you a certain number of questions within the given time frame. I recommend practicing with a timer - you should aim to answer 9-12 questions in Part 1 and 5-8 questions in Part 3, each part within 5 minutes.
Thank you so much, Eli. I stumbled on one of your Speaking test videos (tips in IELTS speaking test) the night before my IELTS. I made sure to watch it again before I took my speaking test. My result came out today and I had 7.5 in the speaking test. You're an incredible Teacher!!
I got 7.5 in Listening, 7 in writing, 8.5 in reading but 6.5 in speaking. I think i took it too lightly 😢 Here I am watching this video and hope to gain much practice before the next encounter. Great content Eli.❤
The video clip is fantastic, and it's probably one of the most outstanding English learning videos I've ever seen on RU-vid. There are numerous valuable insights and lessons that I could gather from it. Thanks for sharing with us.
Honestly i'm fedding off energy of two professors in this video and really really appreciate that , thank you Eli for this video... And i like the way of Roy's drinking water...😅♥️
Well, aren't these three words ( under my belt) and other examples too that they were mentioned as vocabularies in the video classified as phrases rather than vocabularies?! You know why I asked you this question, because when many of none native English speakers count the vocabulary as a single word. For example : life = vitality native = indigenous sad = doleful etc etc... Can you explain why all of those are called vocabularies instead of phrases?!
I am lol because I've never seen like result listening 9 reading 9 writing 9 😮 and speaking 9 🎉 please all of us will take get a high score from IELTS 😊
That's great! So happy for you! 😊You can send your score to eli@englishprotips.com and I will make a success post for you to share your tips with everyone.
Grammar: First conditional = if + present simple, will + infinitive e.g.: If you read to them at night, they will associate reading with love and care. e.g.: If you watch this video, you will learn some useful vocabulary e.g.: If you stop watching now, you won't learn how Roy got band 9 in IELTS writing
Every head must bow and every tongue must confess that we have just beheld a great masterclass performed by a professional who had definitely earned his stripes. Bunch of thanks for making it happen! Superb!

He is only candidate,who is telling really truth and social vision in his life, I have ever seen. Its encouraging and give a ideal image for the young individuals
It is one the most useful videos I have watched and listened to! It is needed to be reviewed many times due to the important content, which should be good not only for the IELTS but boosting someone's English like me and take it to higher levels. Teachers Eli and Roy thank you so much indeed!
It's a crime not to share your videos Quality lessons are rare, and it's even harder to find one on the internet filled with fake gurus. Thank you Eli you're helping a lot of us
In 10:20 you say that getting an IELTS certificate helps you move and study/work abroad in countries such as Canads, Australia and UK. Is US not included? 😳
I got band 9 in writing when i did it in 2021. Have to redo now in 2024. Hoping for same results! I'd love to get 9 like him in all areas. That'll be epic!
Hello Mr. Thank you so much for the video shared. I have picked up a lot more useful and high band score vocabs, but I am wondering if I can use them in my speaking, because in my countrh, which is Uzbekistan, it is often believed that if use such kind of vocabs, shown on the video, we are bound to get somewhere around 6 or 6.5 Could you possibly give an answer, please
The key is to use vocabulary appropriately in the right context to demonstrate your lexical resource. I’d recommend paying close attention to the examples given to learn how to use them properly. Of course, if you are more comfortable with other expressions that are appropriate for the context, feel free to use those instead!
@@EnglishProTips wow, thank you a lot for your precious advice, I got my ielts score and now I am taking the test one more time, I do feel that the videos shared on your channel are going to be useful to me in many ways)
