Today you’ll hear Morne tell you why IELTS is not just an English test.

Morne is from South Africa, just like Andrea, another successful 3 Keys student.

He took the exam for the first time, got 9 for Listening and Reading, 8.5 for Speaking, and 6 for Writing.

How is this possible that a near-native English speaker gets a 6 on Writing?

Well, the first time, he underestimated the exam, only studying for 2 weeks.

IELTS is not just an English test!

Being a native speaker does not guarantee 9’s.

Also, he had the wrong information about the exam going in. He saw a YouTube video that told him he only needed one paragraph in Task 1.

Wrong!

You need one sentence opening and one sentence closing, and a paragraph for each bullet point.

Morne has also learned, in 3 Keys IELTS, to get very specific in his letter, adding loads of details.

This was also his issue in Task 2, not getting detailed enough.

Here’s a tip: try to take out the word ‘people’ from your writing. Don’t just use that general word. Get specific, like ‘third graders‘ or ‘urban dwellers‘.

In 3 Keys IELTS, Morne has also learned to put his personal opinion throughout his essay, stating it directly and clearly.

Finally, Morne shared a link that you can use to practice for the computer-based IELTS exam.
