Today I’ll introduce 5 of my favorite documentaries for you to watch before IELTS.

In order to have something to talk and write about on your IELTS Exam, you must develop your culture of thinking.

This is necessary for a 7 or higher, but, also, for interesting views on life!

Documentaries show you perspectives on culture and specific niches of existence that are impossible to experience in any other format.
