Wow. A strange one. How on earth did you manage to do better in
academic reading than general training reading?!?! I cant help you there. The
skills are the same but the GT passages should be quite a bit more
straightforward.
On the writing, the difference is in the letter format. I have known good candidates
go wrong with that largely because they dont address all the parts of the
question.

Hi Mr Dominic,
Is the letter writing aspect meant for both general and academic IELTS candidates?
with regards
Ibrahim Turay.

Dear Mr Dominic,
First of all I want to thank you for this tips.
Im writing this comment to complaint about the page design, as I can not find a links to
simples to explain the idea of each tip, or even practices.
But anyhow thank you very much for this useful tips.
Kind regards

Fair comment. I am in fact working on the site design at the moment and
at some time the posts will all neatly link together there are currently over 250
lessons so this will take some time though. The idea is for the site to become a
complete online course and not just another blog. Can I suggest that you visit the
front page and look through the reading/writing/listening pages there you will find
most of the important lessons catalogued there.

Hi CINDY,
I had a same experience. Unlike most people who think that GT is much more easier ,
especially
in Reading I think differenly. I think that because the GT is much more tricky. You think
that you
understand the question well while answering wrongly. In scoring as you know there is
not
important you already know sophisticated/difficulty vaocabularies. What is important is
the right answer.
By contrast, in Academic IELTS you hardly find those questions focusing on tricking
candidates. Instead, they want to focus on vocabularies.
My suggestion is in GT we should not answer questions hastily . And always should
know that in
IELTS there is never very easy question.

Hi,
Im really thankful for all your valuable tips for IELTS preparation.
One quick question, do we need to write in paragraph when writing a letter? Thanks.

Hi Dominic,
I would like to ask you about Tip no. 6.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sometimes, I have seen on internet that people have used comma after the above
mentioned sentence like given below:
I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Yours faithfully,
.. ..
Please let me know which is better and correct from IELTS point of view.
Thanks,
Rohit
Dominic Cole February 26, 2013 at 5:36 pm #
It all depends whether it is in a complete sentence and what comes next.
Send me some examples and i would be happy to comment

Letter Writing Task:
Recently stay in a hotel. The heating system in the room was not working.
Write a letter to the manager of the hotel. In your letter:
give details of what went wrong
explain what you had to do to overcome the problem at the time
say what action you would like the manager to take
