Here’s what the former writing examiner commented regarding the updated public band descriptors: as anticipated, they’ve eased the minimum requirements, particularly for bands 8.0 and 9.0.

I had a look at the grading criteria for band nine and it's definitely softer than what it was. I've circled in blue some of the new wording that they have introduced. It's probably partly due to a realisation that some people actually need band nine and in the past... It was almost this kind of sacred cow that you don't give band nine unless you thought it was good enough to be a native writer. I haven't had a chance to go through all of it though.

Back in the day, such posts would lead to tons of engagement. #JustSaying

iPhone olma — IELTS ol 😎

🍏 Yaqindagina Apple kompaniyasi o'zining iPhone 16 telefoni taqdimotini o'tkazdi. Butun dunyoda odamlar shu telefonni olish uchun o'zlarni har qanday holga solishadi. Bu holat bizga ham notanish emas :(

Bu telefonlar seriyasi har yil chiqadi va uni istalgan paytda olishingiz mumkin, ammo til o'rganish kutib turmaydi.

Pullaringizni behudaga sovurmang, hozir kelajagingiz uchun investitsiya qiling va ingliz tilini o'rganishni boshlang. 🤝

🔗 Aytgancha, Iphone 16 puliga «IELTS ZONE»da ingliz tilini 0 dan o'rganib IELTS sertifikatini qo'lga kiritishingiz mumkin :)

Every time Eminem performs live, I make sure to share it here. The man is 51 years old, but his love for the craft keeps him going strong. He’s the definition of consistency. Today, he opened the VMAs with this iconic performance from—enjoy!

Oh, I nearly forgot that today is 9/11, the day of the tragic attacks. I still remember hearing about it on the radio when I was just 13. At the time, there were all kinds of speculations about who was responsible for this act of terrorism.

What are your memories of that day, and who do you believe was behind the 9/11 attacks?

P.S. ha ha I just realized today is Sep 12 already. That’s the downside of being on vacation.

I know there are still many people who believe in various conspiracy theories, so if you’re open-minded, let’s watch this short video together to learn more about the 9/11 attacks.

In the worst case, even if you don’t agree with what’s being said, you can at least practice your listening skills and pick up some English along the way.

Ok, let’s change subject, people. I just wanted to remember the day, without pointing fingers. I know that nobody is going to change their minds instantly, but keep educating yourself! Both sides have good arguments, so no need to debate. Let’s focus on IELTS :)

So what type of Task 1 do you find the most challenging?

Let’s see if we can write a report based on this calendar.

Alright, I’ve decided to adjust my data grouping slightly. What alternative approach would you suggest for better clarity?

Originally, I wanted to divide the data into the first and second six months, but I think there might be a better way.

Sorry, I was distracted, but here is what I was thinking:

Body 1: Ten Months with Four Test Dates

Body 2: June and December with 5 dates

Since this isn’t an actual Task 1 visual, I don’t think there’s much benefit in completing the entire report. The main focus should be on having a solid introductory paragraph along with a clear overview.

A new conspiracy theory: there is no night time :)

No wonder I don’t feel like sleeping at night 😁
