Hello Chris i am from Uzbekistan, i really love your all videos about learning english. Thank you so much😊😊😊

[Soaringhigher]

Hi Chris, thank you for taking the time to teach, record and post lesson on YouTube. I used your method "keep it simple" and "focus on one idea that you can explain well". It helped me in my speaking and writing exams. I passed my exam with a total score of 8 in my first attempt. Thank you.

Hello Chris!
Yesterday I struck with strange writing question in Cambridge IETLS 4:
Compare the advantages and disadvantages of three of following as media for communiting information. State which you consider to be the most effective.
*Comics
*Books
*Radio
*Television
*Film
*Theatre
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
It was really difficult to answer and if I had struck with such a writing question in real IELTS exam, I definitely wouldn't have known what to do whatsoever!
Specially, I wouldn't have known how to paraphrase the question in introduction 🤷‍♂️
I wish you explained it in one of your videos.I think it would be interesting for other subscribers too.

This video is a little bit difficult for me because I think you take an example rather than mention viewpoints 1 or 2. This will be more clear for understanding. Thanks

Hii Chris.. Finally I got a real ielts tutor who is making things easy for me by teaching me the appropriate strategies. And thank you so much because with your help, I have improved my listening scores. Now I'm focusinging more on other 3 modules.

Hello, Good and clear matter for essay. I am interested for free tools for how to build Main Body Paragraph

[shahnazbakri]

It is sometimes concurred that freedom of speech is a basic human right that should not be regulated because expression is a part of checks and balances. However, I agree that censorship is needed because allowing unlimited speech to all can create hate speech.

On the one hand, it is argued that every human should be free to announce any opinion because it will contribute to check and balances of the community and government. In a sense, the moral compass of what is right and wrong can’t be decided by one view and people should be allowed their opinion to open a further discussion. For example, slavery was once seen as a standard practice without allowing the opinions of the opposed. Further advocacy allowed the government’s moral compass to act more reasonably and started to consider to opinions of the enslaved. In certain issues, the right to freedom of speech can be seen as vital.

On the other hand, censorship can be perceived as necessary to avoid discriminating and inappropriate language. When we allow full freedom of speech, we are also allowing racism, discrimination, and hateful words. This would cause the most harm for certain minority groups because the speech of one racist can create an army and even can escalate to physical attacks. In the 21st century, our general government’s moral compass is assumed to be more logical. Thus, I fully agree that some censorship is needed to regulate people freedom of speech in order to avoid hate crimes.

To conclude, although freedom of speech is a basic need to keep everyone’s morality in check—regulating hurtful topics that target minority groups through discrimination is needed to hinder any terrorist actions. I believe that enforcing a level of censorship to people’s speech is for the greater good.

Thank you very much, please can you give me access for the free class on body building for writing task 2

There should not be a comma after Although but there is after the Although clause to differentiate it from the principal clause

[oanafelicio]

It isn't one of your best videos, not very clear once you started writing, I am a fan of your channel thank you

[WowUsernameAvailable]

As a 38-year-old, I really can't see what is so difficult about following the plan you lay out here naturally, without being walked through it. I mean, the task clearly and concisely says "Discuss both views and give your opinion". Well, discuss view #1, discuss view #2, then give your opinion, it's plain as day.

One thing I've also noticed is that students will replace the thing the task requires them to write about with an idea that's close but not the same. For instance, for your topic, they must think of why free speech is good and why censorship is good; but students might write why free speech is good and why it's bad, which isn't exactly the same.

Hi Chris..highly recommending you to create new video of every types of task 2 questions just like discussion and double questions essay, Please.

[selintamsoz]

Hi, Chris! On your website, it is written that we should explain why we disagree and why we agree with viewpoints. But you said in your video that we should write just why we agree with the viewpoint that we defend. Could you please clarify?

[kanushkaperera]

Hi Chris, thank you for sorting out the most confusing essay type. in the introduction stage, are we stating that we disagree with a certain view or is it enough only to mention that we agree with a view.

[axrorbekanvarxanov]

Hii Mr Chris.
Tomorrow is my exaaaammmm
Thanks all of ur lessons and supports

[SoroushHosseini-vw]

Hi. Thanks for the great insight you're providing. I have a question: There's an article on IDP website that emphasizes writing 3 body paragraphs for discussion essay (1st body, 2nd body, and your opinion in a separate paragraph). I would appreciate your stance on this. Thank you in advance

[afastudy]

hi Chris) first of all thank you for you videos they really help. but i cant join ielts advatage web site, it is not allowed in my location so access is denied 😭 but i want to give some ques to clarify one thing. i always been given suggestion to write 2 ideas for MBP each: 2 ideas with supportive statement and example to MBP1 and the same to MBP2. but you always in your videos say one idea with good explanation in enough for one MBP. so i am confused what guidance and tactic i should follow to get 7< in ielts writing?
and if there anyone who got 7-9 in writing please share your experience.

[ielts_focus]

Hi Chris, Thank you very much bro, You are the best of the bests👍🏻

[HieuMinh-ioev]

It is a great lesson. But is it OK if I only discuss views in main body parts and give my personal opinion in conclusion?
