I am here because my friend suggested you to me. After gone through several videos, I found the series are extremely helpful to my writing! You are definitely such an experienced, genuine IELTS teacher I have ever seen! I only got 5.5 last time, so I hope things will change this time.

Hi sir, thank you for your great teaching with lots of useful advice I've never come across in my life
I would like to ask you a question if you don't mind
25:27, The sample of band 7.0, you said that it is unnecessary to say "by waiting until they are older before getting married"
But in 25:56, in your band 9.0 sample, you still keep it
I'm quite confused, so could please explain this further.

[preetimehra]

Great video. 😍👏👏
Please share more sample answers of band 9, especially in TA & CC.

Is there any way where we can read sample answers like this?

So sir I'm again asking sir is it right I'm extremely Sorry for again asking same question

Intro
General statement
Paraphrase the question

Is this a good intro for

[mayasalun]

In 14:44, why do we need only 2 paragraphs to answer this double question "Why might this be the case? do you think this is a positive or negative situation?' while we only used 2 paragraphs to answer the last part of it "Is this a positive or a negative development ?". Isn't it more logical to use 3 paragraphs here?
