Why do I need to build vocabulary for IELTS?
What vocabulary do I need to learn?
How can I learn it?!

I practised for IELTS for 3 days. Reserved 1 day for reading, 1 for listening and 1 for writing. After preparing for 3 days I gave it and scored a score of 8. So I guess this channel is helpful.

[amirshayanmoghtaderi]

After watching a handful amount of videos on this topic I found your methods and explanation the most useful one, thank you so much for all the time and effort you put in to make this video.

My questions:
Task 1. Write a letter to your friend who resides in another country telling him about your intention to work there for a while. You should tell him why you want to work there. Ask him about working conditions, official working hours and minimum wage/pay.
Task 2. Some people are of the opinion that educational success depends on having a good teacher. Others believe that it is the attitude of the student that leads to educational success. You are to discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Speaking Cue card: Talk about historical buildings in your country. Location, what they are used for now, what they look like.
