      mohanbabu

Adam !! Thank you very much for this lesson, as you said the writing section as well as the speaking section of the TOEFL exam are the most difficult areas, but now I have a new strategy to improve my writing skills !! I look forward to seeing your next video.

    Thumbs up!

hesham10

    Hi Hesham,

    I think it might take a little while, but it’s coming.

    Adam

      Sir,

      post task 1 and 2 both in details as soon as possible, please.

      gmgazi

      hi Adam, great to hear from you about IELTS, waiting for more!

      Jimmy Jiang

      Hi Adam how can i learn vocabulary without forgetting

      nawal nawal

      Hi Adam,
      I really like the way how you explain the writing section. It is very hard to organize my thoughts and I do not know what to do. I am trying to write introductions for now to make myself understand what to write, still it is not easy. Do you have any suggestions? Most teachers say “Just practice, practice ” how to practice if I do not know what to write? ))) Also, what word I need to focus on in the following topic? I mean for introduction, ” People attend college or university for many different reasons”. So I need to start writing the essay about reasons or attendance? I am confused, please help!!! Thank you!!!

      Jana15

      Hi, how are you?) I would like to give some questions..You mentioned that before writing an essay we should first of all make a plan, so what plan mainly and are there some important things in order to take them into consideration while writing that plan?

      armine3465

      hi adam!can you please upload also a video about the writing task 2 after the introduction?should it be 2 paragraphs too just like what you taught in the writing task 1?thank you!your videos have been very helpful :) God bless you!

      claireypena

Thanks for your lesson.

Toto

Hi Adam, I have a question. You said “split this up”, could you tell me if I must take the translation for this, which according to Google is :To divide something, literally? Thanks!

MOLOKO

    Hello Moloko, hope thing’s been doing great!

    To ski (something) up is a phrasal verb, and here are some of the possible meanings, some of which, you might know…

    1. (tr) to separate out into parts; divide

    2. (intr) to become separated or parted through disagreement they split up after years of marriage

    3. to break down or be capable of being broken down into constituent parts I have split up the question into three parts

    Hope that helps..

    thalinho

      Hello Moloko, hope things have been doing great!

      P.S.: SORRY ABOUT THE “TYPO” automatic keyboard makes me get embarrassed sometimes!

      thalinho

      Great, thanks a lot for this explanation! See you around! :D

      MOLOKO

        You bet!

        thalinho

    Hi Moloko,

    Thalinho gave a good explanation. Mostly when we split something up, we break it down into smaller parts that are easier to work with or that might appear simpler.

    Hope that helps as well.

    Adam

      Course it does, thanks Adam!

      MOLOKO

I won’t be able to take TOEFL and IELTS, but I’m interested in them. I was surprised! I have to write essay, haven’t I? Really hard for me. The quiz, too.
But It is good for me to study English. Thank you, Adam :D

Happy04

Thank you very much

bummia

Very good point, Adam!
Thank you

Marcio R Santos

Awesome lesson!!!

lucasmello

I get 89 points, I mean I need more practice to make a essay. Thank you Adam for your videos. It helps, motivates and supports to me to be better in my process to be a good English teacher.

Elmer Merino

    I feel like a native-speaker, Adam! Won’t you stop rocking? HAHA Good job, man. I have no idea why, but you make everything complex seem to be simple. Shame you are not in Brazil! =/

    thalinho

      maybe one day :)

      Adam

thanks

sahravaseh

thank you adam

ahmeddel

thanks for your lesson but i want to ask you question .before mothers help I put thanks for or thanks to.

Heba yaseen

    Hi Heba,

    If you are giving credit to someone for their help, then you say ‘thanks to…’. If you are actually expressing gratitude to someone, you would say ‘thanks for (whatever you are thankful for).

    Does that help?

    Adam

      thanks sir

Thank you Adam..

dhissie

These words always trying to pull the wool over my eyes, but after Adam’s class I won’t get fooled again!
Cheers!

DANIELPERES

oops, I’ve forgotten it: “words ARE always…”. Such a trick language :D

DANIELPERES

Thanks for the lesson Adam! I have a special request, could you please make a video class on the difference between where to use a noun as an adjective and where to use “of” like for instance “success of a project” or “project success”, I guess it can only be mastered with practice and experience but still it seems a bit confusing to me at times so I would be very grateful if you gave some basics on this topic, thank you very much!

ludmilaz

    Hi Ludmilaz,

    I’m not sure I completely understand the question; ‘of’ the way you used it in the example is a preposition of possession. So you would want to use a possessive adjective. With a noun, that simply means adding ‘s to the noun to show possession, the “the project’s success depends on his contribution.” Project’s is now a possessive adjective just like ‘his’ (possessive pronoun).

    Does that help at all?

    Adam

      Ok Adam thank you for this detailed explanation but what if there’s no “S” with an apostrophe on the end and the noun still goes like an attributive like for example “project success” or even “exclamation mark” where the word “exclamation is without “s” and plays the role of attribute? Thanks a lot!

      ludmilaz

Thanks!

atomo

Sorry to say I noticed an error:
the first sentence (which should be indented, by the way) of the paragraph in the first example should be “… one of life’s *MOST* difficult choices.”

Mauro

    Hi Mauro,

    Actually, it’s not an error. I could say ‘most’ in this case, but saying ‘it’s one of life’s more difficult decisions’ means that it is very difficult. We make decisions every day, and some are more difficult than others. I understand what you’re saying, but this is a form of speech/writing that is acceptable.

    As for the indent, that too is a choice. You can indent or you can skip lines between paragraphs. Just don’t do both. actually, in formal writing, many style guides want the first paragraph to be flush to the margin to indicate that a new section is starting).

    Hope that helps.

    Adam

Great job Adam, we like you all!

smoke 27

hello adam i really liked the video
but i have a question pleese
in the first example you have used due to the fact …..
cauld we use thank’s to the fact…..

wisdomboy

    Hi Wisdomboy,

    I’m afraid you can’t. You can say thanks to (something, someone, some event), but only due to (the fact).

    Hope that helps.

    Adam

Thank you coach!

Dear Mr. Adam,
I would like to thank you very much regarding above lesson ,really you are a great teacher.
I have one question:
Are you handling writing correction services for IELTS essays?

If yes, let me know to figure out this matter.

Thank you in advance.

Thank You Adam

Thank you so much, teacher Adam! I’m a beginner, but I’m happy because I understood everything, even if you’ve talked a bit faster. :)

dorycam

    You’re a BEGINNER who understood EVERYTHING… Not bad o.o

    snider

    Glad to hear. It’ll get easier and easier. :)

    Adam

      I would like to speak with the same ease with which I can listen.
      I live in Rome and until now I haven’t had many opportunities to speak English, but as of this week I’ll have to teach swimming to a 6 year old child. He’s from Australia and he speaks only English. For the teaching of swimming, I need to short and simple sentences to explain quickly what I mean…
      It’s not easy! But I’m glad to put into practice what you’ve taught me! :)

      dorycam

        hi dory you are doing your best.Whatever it be you are initiating a step towards learning English whatever the circumstances be.

        sarieng

    no way, you can’t be a beginner. I have never seen any beginners who can possibly speak English like you. Anyway, you’re not bad at all.

    banhquynho19

Thanks Adam: 3/10 Thumbs down for me

adalberto75

    Keep trying dude

    snider

Hello Adam..Thank you for interesting lesson,which help me very much to improve my poor english.

Nattarinee

Wow man!!!, you’ve done it again. The paragraph lesson was fantastic, with this one you’ve matched that top level, awesome!. Now a question, It happens to me often that I write an essay and I’m not satisfied with my writing when it’s finished. I mean I find it too simple, but at the same time I don’t feel enough confidence to try a more complex writing. What would you recommend? I know, practice, but would you risk when it’s exam time?.

Thanks for the lessons, I’m always expecting your masterpieces, specially your advanced lessons.

Best.

carlos

    Hi Carlos,

    If you’re writing an exam, then yes, risk it. Make sure you get the ideas across first, but keep in mind that part of the scoring is focused on sentence variety and vocab choice. If it’s too simple you won’t get the top scores.
    Having said that, if your comment is a good sample of your writing ability then I don’t think you need to worry too much. :)

    Adam

Hi Adam. Very important topic for me! Thank you.

Medusa

Is understanding this makes me a good writer?I got 6 out of 9.I know writing is one of my weakness and i have to work on it.Thanks Adam for the great topic

Waligaa wax baro

    Hi Waligaa,

    Keep writing. Understanding this is only half the way to success. Keep it up. :)

    Adam

thank you so much

Edinho

Thank you very much for your sharing. please make more IELTS lessons.

erdalocaktan

I understood very well your lesson and I got 100 at the quiz, even though I am not going to prepare for IELTS or TOEFL. But… I was this summer in Rome, Italy, and I tried to speak in English. I am sorry to say it, but I barely recalled any simple word. Maybe I really have to write some essays to get into using vocabulary.
Thank you for your lesson!

arinamg

    writing is a language all its own, Arinamg. It can only help to use it.

    Adam

Thank you Adam, really this lesson is great…

clalonu

Adam, in my opinion you’re very professional. Thanks for the lesson. I got 8 correct out of 9.

Every single time that I’m doing this sort of tests (challenging ones), once I’m done, (even when getting high scores) there’s always an uncomfortable thought of “distrust” in myself. What could I do to stop feeling this way? It’s nerve-wracking.

Cheers from Venezuela.

snider

    Hi Snider,

    One way is to have a native speaker give you feedback on your writing. But, if you’re getting high scores, that should be a confidence booster in itself. One last thing is after you write your piece (at home), don’t look at it for a couple of days. then check it again with fresh eyes. You might start trusting yourself then.

    Good luck :)

    Adam

      Better than I was expecting, thanks! I’m working on it.
      Could you do something about the following…?

      In Venezuela, when someone has finished off high school, it’s a “Bachelor”. But it looks like the word Bachelor in American English, is used when someone has finished off University instead. So, when talking about these terms (Bachelor or Degrees in the diverse world of professionalism…) I dare to say that a lot of people get confused in Latin America, because we don’t know how you NORMALLY use them.
      I’m still in college looking for a Degree in English, but how should I call myself properly in academic terms? (We don’t have native American teachers over here)

      South America would apreciate if you make a class about it to clear all the doubts.

      Thanks for all =)

      snider

Thank you for the lesson. A little difficult for the begining, but I try…And the quiz 78 points (7 correct out of 9), because or due on the fact that I haven’t a great vocabulary. :-) ! Cheers from Romania

Jaspreet singh

    Hi Jaspreet,

    I’ve never taught the Pearson test, but I assume the strategies are pretty similar.
    If I can get my hands on some samples I’ll be able to figure it out and get back to you.

    Adam

Thank you Adam.i’m looking forward to your next episode.

leonardo dorlux

Adam, I have one question, at least for now. :)

I often see people who write something like this:

“In chromium and firefox i’ve faster scrolling when i use pure cpu power on a 9500GT vs E7500@2.93GHz.”

It’s about “I’ve” because it’s contracted, and this isn’t any of perfect times. I’ve seen many of those, even “I’m”, for example:

Are you doing it?
Yes, I’m.

Is that possible to use contractions in that way, or it has to be a full word?

Besides, thanks for the hint with “pizza”, you know the “t+s” sound. :)

morfik

    Okay, so “I’ve” is short for “I have”, and it is perfectly okay to say “I have faster scrolling…”. However, shortening it to “I’ve” is a feature of British English specifically.

    A North American English speaker might say “I have the next day off” or “I’ve got the next day off”. A British English speaker could also say, “I’ve the next day off.”

    engVid Moderator

    Hi Morfik,

    What the moderator has written is true. I will add, though, that when it comes to online writing, especially forums, everybody takes shortcuts as long as they’re understood. Should you use it in everyday speech or writing? nope.
    (btw (by the way), your last line should begin with ‘anyway’, not ‘besides’ :) )

    Adam

Thanks everyone :)

Adam

I Just Wanted 2 Say Hi . :)

Father Karras

Hi Adam, first of all thank you very much for your contribution, It means a lot to me to have this priceless materials. I have a question: Could we use “one” in stead of “he” or “she” and in that case would it be better or worse? Thanks a lot!

Lakshmi Regnier

    I think, in all languages we can use he or any male pronoun to refer to males including females.
    Also, it was clear from the lesson that since your beginning-as a candidate- you are the one who can decide He or She, it is in your hands.
    -From what I all gather I agree with you in using one which already refers to the narrator.

fatmah almokhtar

Adam, ielts-blog.com has suggested some sample essays with the phrase “Both the advantages and disadvantages of this topic will be analyzed before a reasoned conclusion is reached” in the first paragraph. What is your opinion? Don’t you think that it is too vague and memorized? I like to write phrases like this but I am wondering if it could get lower mark.

Demetrio

Thank you Adam, you’re a great teacher. I am still not so clear about planning the introduction paragraph. Can u give us some tips?

mohsen

Thanks. I wish I could be as wonderful as you. It takes time.

Nomi.ali

    …what?

    engVid Moderator

Hi Adam,
I am confusing about the question4, i don’t know why the answer is ‘dicuss the positives and negatives of a gap year.” I disagree with “discuss the negatives of the gap year.” I think the introduction shows that the author are going to write the benifits of ” a gap year”, if there are something negatively about “the gap year’,then he cannot prove his point of view.

Thank you Adam,
I really enjoyed this lesson. you do your job very well

hello Alex,
its an understatement that you are all marvelous for my ilks of freshers in English learning.

About now, after my first attempt of Band & average, i feel i need to improve my writing and speaking more and will be very grateful if you and the Marvelous Crew can oversee my skills for me as my date gets closer.cheers

johnnie

Hello Alex,
am deeply fascinated with your efforts and the rest of the crew over here,Engvid!!you are all masters!
will it be okay by you if i run some of my writing practices by you before my short resit date?
maybe i would have hit my goal if i had used this means of study then ,but alas am rearing to go and hit the bulls eye for the band 9,God willing and helping too.cheers

johnnie

This is an interesting and valuable explanation. Thanks a lot Adam!. Could you check my essay and tell me how much it would obtain in IELTS?

Q: Is freedom of speech necessary in a free society? Give reasons for your answer.

Ans:
Since the civilization of the mankind, freedom of speech, or the right to express one’s own ideas without influence, has been an arguing fact among citizens. The freedom of speech has been more substantial mater for the rulers for a free society. From my perspective, there should be a right for a person to express his ideas openly, but the freedom should have some limitations as well. Thus, people of the society are able to know the reality and the democracy is also established for them to live peacefully in a free society.
As it has been established in most of the countries, democracy should be protected by law and the opposition party of a democratic country should play a major role to protect the democracy itself. Pointing out the faults of the governing party is one of the main tasks of the opposition, which is able to perform with only the freedom of speech. Otherwise the government would ban criticizing them, if there is no privilege for the free speech.
On the other hand, the community would be able to know the truth through news, if the freedom of the reporters to report is protected. The reporters’ right is one of the considerable portions of the freedom of speech, which can be seen lost in some countries, by which reason the reporters are influenced, threatened and even assassinated.
However, there should be a limitation for the freedom of speech, since one should not be harassed or hesitated by another party’s speech. As a result, laws should be posed against the violent speech or reporting, by which all the human rights would be protected in a free society.

thanks Adam it really need more practice

Harrytran

Hi, Adam.

This lesson is really helpful for me to start writing essays. However, I’ve been being trained by my IELTS teacher who said that my writing is really poor. I was sad but it doesn’t mean I stop trying. That’s why, aside for his helping me, I am hoping that, you have any chance to assist me (checking) in the essays I have written and let me know, how is the progression I’ve made. I want to send them by email, but I can’t find your email.
So, how could I contact you and send them?

I thank you for all of your lessons. I really enjoyed and found no difficulty listening to you. And thank you before and after.

I think you could post a video talking about Prepositional Verbs Adam. It would be essential. And I think it is a very common wrong between many people.

i indeed thank you. About this lesson it will help me but still i have a confusion, especially when it comes reason and how to connect with the body paragraph. So what is your suggest.

Adam
Can i get my essays’ outlines checked by you?

Zeeshan Adil

Hello sir! Thank you very much for such clear explanation. I had troubles with introduction. Now I hope to manage my essay writing:)

ladyjoy

Thanks Adam for your explanations. They were very clear. Still, I need to practice a lot.

Myriam21

Hey,

I want to ask you about the thesis statement. As you said in the video in the giving opinion part, you advised us to give general opinion only (as you did in the video: economic benefit or social benefit). Hence, is that ok if I write my thesis like this?

In my opinion, I believe that we should maintain the level of academic ability as requirement to admission university because there are many benefits accompany it.

Thank you for your attention

Alice3105

Hello Adam,
After taking inputs from your youtube video, I have written introduction to a topic. Can you please mark me or correct me for this sample.
~Thanks!!

‘Some people think women should be allowed to join the army, the navy and the air force just like men.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

INTRODUCTION:
Topic: Career option for women
Question: Whether they should join the armed forces
Opinion : Partially agree
Reasons : No career should have gender biasing. Women can be used as soft targets.
‘

When it comes to career, the women these days, are not limited to choosing from certain options only. All career options are open to them; and women have proved time and again, that competency at a skill is not linked to gender. However, whether or not women should join armed forces has always been debatable. I am personally of the opinion that women should be allowed to serve in the armed forces as well, though there could be some areas or situations where deployment of women forces might not be ideal.

kaushik.mamta

Thank you Adam!
Do we have tips for the following paragraphs?

zdanyr

Hi Adam,

I like to use plural pronouns when referring to indefinite nouns, because they’re gender-neutral, and hence not sexist. E.g: When a person needs to make an important choice in life, THEY need to consider their loved ones in the process.

Question is: could this cause me any trouble on my IELTS exam?

Sam.George

thank you very much Adam :) :)

Great class Adam!

adonisvieira

so sad 6/9 :(

but it is a great lesson by the way

thx so much adam…I wonder if you said you were freelance editor,so you kind of check essay for students? ><

here is introduction for you
As a student who looks toward the future on studying abroad, among the first choice she has to make is who she can learn English with. Should she study with teacher Adam or Others? While all these options are worth considering, I would prefer to study with adam,not only in order to gain my english skill, but also because adam is one of the kind and greatest English teacher from engvid.

btw, wait for your new video to come out^^

pang pinky

Hello Adam! I enjoy your lessons and especially thanks for this one. Cause it’s very informative and useful for me right now since I take IELTS test in a month and, to be honest, haven’t even started to practice yet. And you inspired me somehow to finally start. However, I’ve got a question for you- In the first examples first sentence you said :”…life’s MORE difficult choices.” Why didn’t you use superlative adjective (MOST, I mean)? And I’m not certain in my understanding in using commas. Don’t you have a lesson on this topic? Thanks again.

dashabolbot

Do u check essay for student?

Arefina

Hi Adam! Got 9. :) I took the exam twice already. And I need to get all 7 in the academic module. I guess I cannot really please my reader on the writing part. How should I deal with it? Do you check essays too?

I listened your lesson twice, also took the test and made 100 points. This means that your teaching strategy is very clear and straight to the point. I’m lucky to have you to assist me on basic ways on how to writ an introduction.
Thanks so much.

carmen henry

Adam, I think in the IELTS test we have to do different introductions for each kind of essay, is that right ? So how do I do with each kind of essay ?

fcalil

Thank you Adam. You are great! If anyone like to be a friend of me search me in fb. We can improve our English

Dilanka

Adam, thank you very much for your great lessons! Could you please help me with this: I’ve seen a lot the use of ‘they’, ‘their’, etc. to match singular nouns and pronouns, e.g. ‘If my mobile phone runs out of power, a friend lets me borrow theirs’. Another example: ‘When someone does not get a haircut, their hair grows long.’ Can this usage be considered ‘good English’? What is the best when we use non-identified gender nouns like friend, person, someone, etc.? Thanks and all the best!

betepadoveze

It says I’ve got “8 out of 9”. I hope my IELTS will score the same, with one or few mistakes. If I wanted to practice my writing skills, I normally make several write-ups of anything under the sun. I am not so confident in my writing skills, so I wanted to learn a lot. Although the communication in my job requires me a Technical writing format, I still need to deliver my thoughts in good English. Technical writing style of writing has a very different purpose and different characteristics than other writing styles such as creative writing, academic writing or business writing.

raine@07

Thanks Adam. Very good lesson again. Till date I am unaware of minimum (3) and maximum (5) number of sentences which gives good introduction for the essay. You clarified me clearly about each and every sentence importance in introduction paragraph. Thanks a ton.

salla

Hi Adam, till I listen to this lesson I was not clear about the sentences which we write as part of the introduction. Now you filled my mind with clarity about the introduction paragraph which contains topic, question, and opinion.

Thanks for providing good lesson for writing Introduction.

p.santhosh13

I got 89. why? I have to get 100. it’s your fault…look at this..
Besides making a choice, what else might this task A:be asking you to do?
B:discuss the benefits of traveling
C:discuss the benefits of graduating from high school
D:compare and contrast studies and work
E:discuss the positives and negatives of a gap year
“I couldn’t find the negative point which was mentioned on it” so A ia true , but you said E why?

evil666live

hai Adum,
i am thank full to you a lot because i am just starting my preparation on writing and i really don’t know how to start-up and then i watched your video now i get the idea. thank you once again.

manojgujjula

why don’t you write a full task 2 ielts essay for a band 9 and explain it, why is a band 9, so everybody can decide if is possible for a non native speaker to make one or not ok….everybody everywhere ..do this …do that…let me see..make a full explanation ..allot of BS websites everywhere…

burcuta

Hello Adam,
Firstly, thanks a lot for your lessons they are very interesting and informative, but i would like you give me your advice.
We have state exams and we also need to write essay, i’ll give you an example of it and would like to know your recomendations.
It’s important for high school students to study compulsory subjects, even if theydon’t see any need for them in the near future.
What is your opinion& do u agree with this statement?
write 200-250 words.
use the following plan:
make an introdaction(state the problem)
express your personalopinion and give 2-5 reasons for your opinion
express an oposing opinion and give1-2 reasons for this opposing opinion
explain why you don’t agree with the oposing opinion
make a conclusion restarting your position
thanks for advance.

Being taught by you I feel realy exciting in my English level and IELTS. I don’t know how to thank you!

Anushervon

Hi Adam,
I have ielts exam next Saturday, I hope you answer before that day :)
First, you are so successful, of course you do not need my appreciation.
The thing that I would like to learn how would be the ielts examiners’ approach to the essays standing on the grey area for ‘opinion on a trend’ or ‘agree & disagree’ questions. I mean I am not a creative person that can produce lots of pros and cons, opinions, causes for each subject, especially under stress. However if I put forward something a mixture, a combination of both sides, I may find more ideas to meet required number of words.
Thank you for your help,
best regards,

-Aise

Hello Mr. Adam,

With all due respect, I would like to know how would one write the body structure and conclusion.
Should one self adapt the structure below or no?
1. Topic Sentence 2. Body with example 3. Conclusion sentence.
Can you please elaborate a little more. I will be very thankful.
Regards,

Abdul Mashid Bessed

mashid bessed

What i didn’t understand is how to write personal pronouns. Is it use only “he” when we are writing about humans? On the example Adam used this sentence: A person reaches adulthood, he needs something. Is it right to use like this or better if we use he/she. Anybody knows?

suis

    :) Adam just answered my question at the end of the video. It is not right to write he/she..

    suis

Hello!!can you give advice which would probably enhance my writing skills??

Topic: Computers can bring us a lot of disadvantages as well as benefits

Introduction:One cannot deny that computers like everything else in the world have pros and cons.Undoubtedly,there is a plethora of questions,but the most significant one is that do they bring more disadvantages than benefits?As far as I am concerned, they are in possession of much more priveleges rather than damage.This is due to the fact that computers do provide us with much more specific and accurate information.

Another one:

Topic sentence:School education and parental influence are equally important for the development of a child
Body:School education and parental influence are equally important for the development of a child.Development of a child is a very difficult subject to elaborate on ,as it hinges upon different factors such as the attention that is paid to the child and the impact on psychology.In addition, school education is approximately the same as parental influence ,due to the fact that the time the child spends with both of them is probably similar.Since that we can be convinced that school and parents actually do play a decsive role in child’s development equally

Zarema Dyussembayeva

Adam, Thank you for the lessons.
This particular lesson really help me.
you teach us to have the right structure in introduction paragraph.

could you give a lesson about discussion type essay for IELTS Writing Task2?

duub

Thank you for your helping Adam ! but i confused a litte bit i was thinking the start to introduction like this “The discussion that whether or not —–(the subject) is a debatable one. There are logics provided by supporters of both the views.In my opinion, there are more advantages to live in the city due to the fact that the city offer better economic and social benefits.”

I just put them all of your and my sentences together. Do you think is that okay to write this introduction and also is there any mistake in this sentences?

I will take IELTS next weekend on 29th of August. So please help me i need your feedback.

jammyfellow

Hi Adam, first of all I would like to say thanks a lot for all your lessons. it’s really very helpful and I love to watch all your videos.
I have some confusion. I go through some online lessons about how to write introduction of IELTS task 2 and some of them say rephrase the given question and other says write the general idea about topic. So can you tell me which one works best?
TIA :)

Hi Adam, thanks for your tips. I love your classes and they have been very helpful.
I have a question for you. This essay I have to write is about giving and supporting an opinion regarding “moving a capital” and then discussing potential problems and benefits. Can I in this case not been in favor and not been against it and support my reasons? My introduction would be as below:
“Some governments chose to move their capitals. There are several benefits and problems that it might cause unagree . In my opinion, a country should consider moving the capital if economically and also socially it will benefit the country.”
Thanks for your help.
Best Rgds, Tati

Tatianits

Hi Adam, though I am not sure about it but I think I have heard from you in writing section presentaion that you said you don’t need to have a conclusion!! is that possible?

AbdulRahman M.T. Abd

As a person reaches adulthood, he needs to decide….

Well, I thought that using “one needs to decide…”would be more correct,thanks for clarifying

Antonio Augusto

Adam,great lesson! Is it any lesson for the body and the conclusion of the essay? Thanks!

marysanchez20

Hi Adam.

Thanks for the suggestions

when I take the Toefl exam, ¿should i SPEAK and WRITE in a formal manner or should i sound like a native speaker? . For example, which of the following is better for the writing and speaking sections exam:
She is the woman I work for
She is the woman for whom I work

And can i use contractions:
i’d like to go the city
i would like to go to the city

Thanks

mayldberg

Thanks for the lesson Adam, they are always incredibly helpful. Now I understant the importance of knowing the four type of sentences, which you explained on another video. Do you know if there is any service on the internet where I could pay for someone to correct my essays? I do not have a teacher, but I need someone to show my mistakes.

javando

Thanks Mr Adam for such great lessons.
I would like to ask you a question, the negatives of a gap year was not discussed in the introduction, all the sentences related to it were positive.
why did you chose 4 in question number 4?

Amal555

Hi Adam.
I have a little bit question.
In your explain you wrote:
“what is your opinion?”
“what are your reasons?”

my question is?
why in the first question you used IS and in the second you use ARE?

TKS

athalimar

    Hi there,

    In the fist he used IS because (your opinion) is ONE opinion,it is singular and in the second he used ARE because (your reasons) is plural, so more than one idea.

    One opinion is…
    Two reasons are…

    Could you understand?

    Lucilia

I will definitely pray to the muses in task 1 of the IELTS writing part… I still don´t know how to describe neither a line, nor a bar graph.

oh gosh. Thank you for this. After watching this i was inspired to start practicing writing again and focus on that for my second try.

iamadreamer

    Good luck! We believe in you!

    engVid Moderator

Thank your for the lesson. I have a clearer idea of how to write an introduction. :)

naomic1010

Hi Adam:

What about using “AS” instead of “DUE TO” or even “BECAUSE”.

Thanks & greets.
Marcelo.

marcelomiguelbazan

And in the second example, to avoid “sexism”, I’d write: “the need to decide on where to live comes into play” or “it is very important (you can add for that individual) to decide on where to live”.

Thanks & greets.
Marcelo.

cheima

Dear Adam,
I am really thankful to you and Engvid for all the great lessons you prepared for us. I really enjoyed watching and learning your writing course on Task 2-Paragraph. I am also wondering it there is another video or explanation to understand the differences between “choosing” and “comparing or contrasting” types of writing?
Thank you again for your time and consideration

MahdiM

Adorable, Thanks Adam, we need guidelines about how to write the body of the Paragraph as well.

Kiro-Ayad

Hi Adam, Please point out the sentences in the paragraph as they are not clear. Thanks

momran

Thank you very much for the lesson. I know He/She Him/Her is really annoying if I keep repeating ‘his or her’ or ‘he or she’ in the same piece of writing but I think it works perfectly in a single sentence. So, can I use He/she sometimes and perhaps use plural forms such as their, they, etc., despite the fact that they don’t grammatically agree with the singular noun or pronoun they refer back to like “How much can you tell about someone from their choice of Wellington boot?” http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2012/06/he-or-she-versus-they/

Hi Adam,

Thanks so much. This class helped me a lot. You speak very clear and for us it is perfect to understand.

So I have one question about the reasons. What is better, put two reasons ow three? For me is very hard writing three reasons. With two reasons I will have just two paragraph. So does it makes my essay poor?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks Adam !

Hi Adam. Thank you so much for this video, and I so Love this website it is very much helpful for me as a beginner since I will be taking up my IELTS exam 3 months from now. However, the problem for me is that I am having a hard time composing a sentence considering the Grammar Rules if i should say it. I know that it would take a lot of practice but
As an expert for this, what can you suggest so I can be able to write at least a good essay?

Looking forward to your comment. Thank you very much.

Hi, Adam. Thank you for your beneficial lessons. Can we use “they” instead of he/she?

Hello, Adam. I don’t know how to contact with you. I am reading your site for writing and I am highly interested in it. Is it possible to train my own teaching skills in writing with you somehow? While working at writing with my students, I write essays myself but no one checks me, which I really desire.

thanks Adam it is very nice to know some one like you, your videos are very helpful, I’m trying to get the TOEFL exam, and I’m in practicing writing task2 .

one of the practicing examples in TOEFL official test book is ‘Q\ some student prefer to study alone, other prefer to study with a group of student . which do you prefer? use specific reason and examples to support your answer’

at this time I do the answer bellow can you tell me if there any mistake in it

Ans\
when the study life become more complex, determining the method of study becomes more important. studying alone or with group of friends doesn’t matter as long as the studier get the full benefit, but studying within a group have more advantage and more fun

one of the most important reason that make studying with a group of pupils is creating appropriate environment to study, prompting each other to study harder and harder

also that we can’t forget that studying with various student mean studying with a lot of ideas that make the student more capable to understand the material and get many solutions that make him more understandable to the problem

last thing but not least, studying with friends make it more fun and less stress and this is very important point that must take in mind, and make the student more creative and loving to the material that he study

last thing, studying with group push the student to give up shyness and make a good social comunication that helping him tomorrow

Hi Adam,
I am new user can you give me a favor I write an introduction paragraph can you review and provide feed back on it.
the question is about increasing number of cars which resultant in traffic jams & government should do something about it

“in today’s world having a car is not a challenge any more for any one. this opportunity is creating chaos in traffic condition. In my opinion this condition should be handled. this could be controlled by government or any legal body should be created by government who impose certain rules on car purchase more over they had better provide a better substitute to people for traveling”

warm regards,

otabek...

please can I use (I) in opinion essay?

zhalya

Hello Mr. Adam, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Yesterday I did 3 introductions to practice, I spent 5 min for each one. I used to do differently in the past. Please, do you think it’s good? I’ve tried to follow your pattern.

Currently, people, such as famous entertainers and athletes, has an important visibility that can help everyone. Sometimes the youngers receive this benefit and in another time can be the older people to gain this. In my opinion, it is very important to younger achieve this benefit because they are inexperienced and have a lack of knowledge, something that they really believe in what the famous people are talking or doing.

sdeusdara

Nowadays we need to understand that our decisions will impact our lives for a long time. Sometimes we are in moments that we need to calculate the risk and decide if we are going to be a risk taker or if we are going to be cautious. My personal opinion about this is we need to take care of our decisions that because the world, in general, is very unstable in actuality and doing this we can predict the future based in the schedule.

sdeusdara

Today is normal companies working 24 hours per day because the demanding is very huge. Because of this sometimes the employee needs to decide which routine he will opt for, work more hours in a 3 days routine with more time to rest or work 5 days having fewer hours of work per day. In my opinion, work 3 days with long hours of work is more advantageous because the person will have more free time to do different things, for instance, spending time with family or working in a different job.

sdeusdara

Thanks a lot Mr.Adam!

Adam, I just saw your video for writing Task 2 in TOEFL and i realize that this helps me a lot with the structure of my paragraphs. Thanks to you, now i can plan my essay with the main ideas you told us to do.

Thanks again.!

jce016

Adam following your directions, how can apply it to a independent writing, where im ask to state other reasons than a main one? give you an example

People work for money to live. What are other reasons that people work ?

Discuss one or more of these reasons. Use specific examples to support your answer.

jce016

hi Adam,i am from pakistan and i want to give ielts exam.
i have watched you vidz on GT essay and i went onto try one of the essays by myself….here i am posting the essay.plz guide me through this,,,,,sorry for the juggling of words.
the essay.
Choosing between science subjects and history as the core subject is the debate of modern time as there are two opposite views, some vote the history subject while others are against it vice versa. In my opinion, Science and Technology is the need of modern times.
”Science and Technology”, play a vital role in our daily life where scientific knowledge keeps us aware of all the nutrients on the other hand technology shapes our life, thus making our life more comfortable. To talk about modern Technologies, one name that comes to the mind is SteveJobs who has given, a modern man, the gift of Mobile phone, making the communication better than before. Moreover, there is a blessing of an e-mail. The knowledge of Science and Technology is the need of the 21st century because new studies are helping us to fight against the challenges, like the plague, cancer and the dangerous outbreak which has destroyed half of the population of the earth, affecting the economic structure is the virus which is known as Corona. One of the gifts of modern times is the Automobile industry in which modern cars have shortened the long journeys of days into hours.
The subject of history is also having its importance as it gives information about past historical events.
History is a resource through which modern man has made discoveries and making more progress while taking help from the past.
History, Science and technology are the essential subjects for a man and they must be taught, however. History leads to new studies and invention/discoveries.

8/9! Good! I plan to write all things in English to improve my English writing. But only one thing I am confused about is how to check the grammar for these sentences.

Jerry Gu

You explained it well. Thanks

Gul Madiha

Adem, you are one of the finest teachers one could wish for. And I am lucky to run into engvid to improve my English. I will be taking my IELTS test next week. I have been a regular visitor of this awesome site and all the great teachers it has onboard.

Hello Adam,

Abhishek this side, I have a doubt, you mentioned in the lesson where to live, in a city or a country? I didn’t exactly understand what you mean by country? If I know correctly city comes inside the country. So, all the pros and cons for the city will fall under the country also. What is the difference between city and country here?

Abhishek777

    “Country” also means a rural area! When people talk about living in the country (as opposed to living in the city) that is what they mean.

    For example: “What do you miss about living in the country?” “The fresh air. Also, people are friendlier.”

Hi, Adam. I really appreciate your hard work to make a difficult issue simpler. One thing that really annoys me is the comments of some people who are jealous of you, and therefore, comment something really disgusting. I hope you don’t mind those comments.

Naseer Ahmed Aryen

    Amazingly interesting. The tips are useful guidelines towards improving one’s writing skills. Keep it up Adam and do not get deterred by some of the negative comments by some unsatiables.

    Abdoolmajeed

What a good lesson is this one Adam, as you just sayed for improve and write correctly we should practice and practice a lot, greetings from Venezuela
