IELTS 6th January 2018 answer key

[CS Deepthi]

Depends. Can you give an example?

marriage or marriages? belt or belts?

marriage or marriages? belt or belts?

I guess you might get away with this. Though it’s my personal opinion. In some contexts plurals are acceptable. Good luck!

 

[lincy]

I too wrote at the box office and from the information centre for two answers as the instruction said not more than 4 words

Hope for the best.

It should be a copy of cancelled cheque ? That’s what the customer care people told me

I applied for reval for writing section. I submitted TRF, passport copy, EOR form and cancelled cheque to the nearest IDP office. You can also courier them.

No1 knows....even the essay was tricky, let us pray for the best for everyone and wait for the results...good luck everyone!

Nope, nothing was tricky in the Writing section. It was easy as. How you tackled it is a totally different story.

I am having doubts on my response to the essay question.

Although I stated that there are more advantages than disadvantages associated with living in apartment block.
I included one body para for advantage ( including my opinion ) and another for drawbacks. Finally I concluded the essay stating that it is more advantageous to live in apartments compared to any minor drawbacks that can result from it.

I think the second body passage mentioning disadvantages was not required??

Any opinion guys??

reading too much into it. It's all about making the right points. You can say that A>B with 3 points for each, but make it amply clear that the points for A hold more weight and relevance than those for B owing to <insert reason(s)>.

The problem is we are always looking for model answers or have read model answers, and are trying to strictly adhere to 'em answers. Additionally, the suggested structures, lexical resources et al make it trickier in our heads than it really is.

Some interpreted the question as being an opinion one others as discuss both sides!!!!
It might have been clear and easy for you, not the case to everyone else!!
And we can not predict how the correction or results are unless we receive our grades!

I get what you are saying, but there's no right or wrong answer is the point that I was making.

Mate, i did the same what you suggested except <insert reason(s)>.

 

[zagcollins]

doesn't matter if you have already made your points clearly before this juncture.

I also wrote 22nd july 1985

wrong i think 22 july 1985
dont put nd,st,rd that is incorrect

 

[kukreti1989]

wrong i think 22 july 1985
dont put nd,st,rd that is incorrect

That will make your answer 2 number and 1 word. However, the instruction says 2 word and/or a number.
Hence 22nd is considered as word and will make the complete date as 2 words and a number.

 

[zagcollins]

wrong i think 22 july 1985
dont put nd,st,rd that is incorrect

yup, what Kukreti said. Also, twenty-second is one word.
