Here's the essay question used in this video:

Omg I can’t believe it Lilie! I got 8 in writing!!! My score: Lis-8 Read-7.5 Spe-6.5 Wri-8 Overall-7.5
And this is also my first try😂
The thing is that I just hoped I could get 6.5 in Writing. When I saw the result I was completely shocked. U remember my comment a few days before my test date? I found your channel quite late but I watched all of your videos and some of your sample essays. U are surely a lifesaver for me, truly! My weakness had always been writing, I cannot believe it’s the skill that enhances my overall score now😂
I was distracted during the listening and reading test… could have been better, but the writing part is a big deal for me.
I just wanna thank u so sooo much Lilie! ❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing this great news with me! That 8 in writing is truly impressive, especially on your first attempt, congratulations!
@@LilieIELTShi dear...
Next WEEK I'm going to take IELTS
BUT I'M SO CONFUSED ABOUT ONE THING:
like in this essay u go with "Aggrement" but u write about it in BODY PARAGRAPH 2.....and u show disagreement in BP 1 .....so my question is can't we do it VICE-VERSA.
I mean should be justify ur opinion in BP 1 first rather than discussing disagreement first.....
I hope u get what I'm asking.....
PLEASE REPLY SOON.
HOPE U'LL REPLY.

Hi Lilie, first of all thank you so much for this amazing video. Everything is well explained. However, i have one question that i can’t understand. In the essay, examiner is asking if advantage(s) outweigh disadvantage(s). Should we not write more than one advantage and disadvantage because they are asking in plural terms
Love from Bangladesh
hi,Lilie,ir's so useful for me ,and so grateful you made this video,I will take my ieslt in DEC. so I have plenty of time to practise .BTW, what the word "take"exactly mean in the passage2, thank you ~~

Superb ...the way you teach is incredible... I would like to speak to you... I am preparing for my IElTS exam...
❤
Wow! Wish I'd seen this platform earlier
Thanks for the sweet words.😊
Hi, many thanks for the wonderful video.
I have a question:
If the question is about What are the advantages and disadvantages of giving children this message?
So, what should I organize the paragraphs like below?
P1 - Introduction
P2 - Body1: Advantage 1
P3 - Body2: Advantage 2
P4 - Body3: Disdvantage 1
P5 - Body4: Disdvantage 2
P6 - Conclusion
Yes, you can do that. You can also group the two advantages into one paragraph. I wrote an essay on that topic: www.ieltsessaybank.com/advantages-disadvantages-essay-structure/
I wrote my exam today. Task 1 is map to reduce road accidents. For task 2 , nowadays , more and more women and men are doing full time jobs, it is therefore important to share the household tasks. How much do you agree or disagree to the statement?
Thanks for your videos Lilie . It helped me a lot
I hope this information is useful to your blog and I am from India
Thanks for the information. Hope you get the score you need.
@@nikhilgonna9873 OH Task 2 essay seems to be a pretty decent topic. How much did u score?
Hey, my exam is next week and I didn't study anything in writing only watched your videos could please give me advice how to practice because I am totally lost and I don't know what to do after I watched the videos
Holy shit this genius...out standing 🤯
What to say when both are equal adv and disadv , the advantages do not outweigh the disadvantage?
i love you accent. when i hear you talking i run out of breathe XD sometimes it feels like you are out of breathe and your voice lowers but you continue to speak the next word with more emphasis and it chokes me XD
Woooow, you listened so carefully! Thanks for watching!
@@LilieIELTS yeah i am watching everyone. youve got the best quality content. keep it up ik you gonna take over this market
Mam how to (explain) main topic in body paragraphs
Thanks a lot for video I still can't access ur blog
in the essay of foreign language done from primary school rather in secondary school that is adv outweighs dis adv .The adv I supported is learning foreign language facilities opportunities or desires in foreign countries and also decreases language barrier and u stated regarding pronunciation and grammar can I proceed the statement what I stated in my essay
Thanks so much Lilie IELTS , greetings from ChiangMai Thailand
Visited your city once a long time ago. Miss thai food so much.😊
You are welcome ..Lilie , ChiangMai is a lovely place in this world :)
Lilie the way you explained is phenomenal .My question is in adv outweigh disadvan.
1 should we write 5 paragraphs or the way you have written it is alright ?
2 you told that all of your essays are band 7 level .If some one wants to go beyond than what should be the maximum word limit?
3 please clarify my doubts in to what extent ,positive -negative or adv outweigh disadvantage or discuss and give your opinion 4 paragraph is enough or 5 needs to be given in order to get a high band?
Hi, I've never written five paragraphs in an actual exam so I don't know whether it works or not.
I scored a 7 twice on actual exams but all essays on my website deserve higher than a 7, probably an 8, because they were improved by native speakers.
Yes, for the questions you listed, four paragraphs are enough. I got agree-or-disagree and discuss-both-views on the exams, wrote four paragraphs, and got a 7.
Tnq mam
Wow, thank a lot for lessons and methods ❤❤❤❤🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🥹🥹🥹🥹
tomorrow ill have an Ielts exam In sha Allah
But lilie in question they ask advantages they use prular form so we should give more than 1 advantages and disadvantages
Very nice vedio💖💖
Many many thanks😊
Remarkably explained! Do I need to give my opinion too in discussing two advantages and disadvantages topic? Thank you in advance!
Yes, you do. You can give your opinion like this: I BELIEVE the main advantages are...and... while the major disadvantages are .... and ...
Here are some sample essays: www.ieltsessaybank.com/tag/what-are-the-advantages-and-disadvantages/
@@LilieIELTS Thank you so much! Your RUclips channel helps me a lot. ❤️
Mandam if I want to give you an IELTS test before sitting in the examination hall.Is there any possibility.
Hi Lillie, I have been following your videos religiously and I have learnt a lot. I have a question and I hope you get to see it in time, because my test is next week. how do you know if you have achieved minimum word count on paper based test?
I bought some answer sheets online. I practiced writing essays on those sheets. Based on the size of my handwriting, I know that writing up to a certain row on the answer sheet is usually enough to meet the word count. However, during exams, I still count the number of words, just in case.
@@LilieIELTS Hi. I just want to let you know that I got my test results today with 7.5 overall. 8 in reading, 7.5 in listening, 7 and 6.5 in speaking and writing respectively. I found the writing bit very hard. I barely finished. Thank you so much, God bless you.
Hi Lilie. Thanks for making this video. I have a question, can we put our disagreement with the disadvantage at the beginning of the second paragraph?
I've never tried that structure in a real exam so I don't know, sorry.
@@LilieIELTSno problem. Thanks for the answer💙
if I can’t write a long example or have no idea about examples . What should I do?
Listening to news every day may help.
U r best dr❤ but I can't easily understand ur English slang😢
how can i improve my Ielts writing ??
Should i write down your sample answers on daily basis Or i need to practice on my own ???
Perhaps, reading my essays can help. www.ieltsessaybank.com/
Thank u for ur tutorial, but it says advantages.
It has plural S .So, you don’t think we must write at least 2 for each one ?
You can but you don't have to. I explain in this video why it's correct to write only one advantage and one disadvantage: ruclips.net/video/c_iMuGaIXd8/видео.html
Hello, I have realised that topics of such make references to real life people who have truly made something in life for examples Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan's. Is it always necessary to get people of such calibre or you can go ahead make it imaginative?
Yes, you can dream up a celebrity.
Lilie mam, I have one doubt, people nowadays tend to have children at older ages what do you think are the reasons for this ? Do the advantages of this outweigh disadvantages ? Mam in this essay how many body paragraph I should write ? If I go for advantages.... Means body paragraph 1 for reasons, 2 and 3 body paragraph for (advantages) and 4 body paragraph for disadvantages...?
Hi, I suggest not wasting time on inauthentic questions. There are no such questions in Cambridge IELTS books or on real tests.
@@LilieIELTS Mam this question was asked in 26th February 2022(morning slot) in india
But how can you be sure that it was reported accurately? Maybe the first question is "why is this the case?"
@@LilieIELTS Mam actually I watched one You tube video and found this question.
Hello Liley.. could you make a report of Book 15 Test 3 ..task 1 please...i am getting issue in those type of process diagram.
Hi, hope this sample essay helps: www.ieltsessaybank.com/how-instant-noodles-are-manufactured/
@@LilieIELTS Thank you so much Lillie...i am glad having a teacher like you.💟
It is so sad, I had an ielts exam, the writing test question is about advantages outweigh disadvantages, I just gave my own opinions about its advantages in body 1 and 2, although I had mentioned about more advantages than disadvantages in introduction and conclusion, is it okay??
What as your band in writing???
I would like to ask why do you think “it is of importance” and “it is important” have a different meaning? I’m not a native speaker so i dont know the differences 😃 please help!
Hi, I didn't say that. What I said is that "it is of importance” doesn't sound as good as “it is important". The former is so rarely used. You can see the comparison here: books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=it+is+of+importance%2Cit+is+important&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=26&smoothing=3
Lilie❤, can I get a video related to advantages and disadvantages.
Probably not very soon. I'm planning on launching a free challenge, but you can check out essays of this type here: www.ieltsessaybank.com/tag/what-are-the-advantages-and-disadvantages/
@@LilieIELTS Thank you so much 😭❤️
A question, in the question they said "advantages,disadvantage... All are in plueral form. So arent they asking to give one than one cause?
This video may help: ruclips.net/video/c_iMuGaIXd8/видео.html
Thank you so much for the reply🥰
Mam pls upload more videos related to other topics.. it's really very helpful
Sure I will.😊
Yes,please
I love you
Thanks for the educative video.. But in your essay writing task 2, is background statement not necessary? Thank you
Do you mean the first sentence in the introductory paragraph? You don't have to paraphrase the original like I did. You can make up something else.
Yes.. I mean a sort of sentence that'd just introduce the whole essay before re-wording the question of the essay.
@@jamesadebiyi4556 No, you don't need that. You can directly paraphrase the original.
@@LilieIELTS okay, I get now... Thank you very much 🙏
Hlo mam, i have a doubt please clear it🙏 in this question they are not asking for our opinion, then why should we have to write in my opinion lines ???? Please tell me 🙏
Hi, the question uses "do you think", which is asking for your opinion.
Mam you are many time use same word in this essay like "opportunities ". And how band score I can get with this task 2 answer?
Hi, sometimes it's good to repeat significant words. It creates a sense of coherence. Readers know you're discussing the same idea. For instance, I could say Chan wouldn't have been able to study at Harvard. But this does not show the opportunity that risks created for Chan. I think the essay can score at least a 7.5.
But you're right. It's probably better to change one of the "opportunity"s to "chance".
I love your teaching mem❤️
23 July my IELTS exam, pray for me everyone. 🤲
Pray for you and don't forget to tell us your score when you know it. ✊
@@LilieIELTS of-course
Hi Mam,
Should we consider the following questions the same?
Does this trend have more advantages or more disadvantages?
Do the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?
Yes, you can use the method shown in the video to answer these two questions.
@@LilieIELTS Mam, can I write only the advantages in the following question, not the outweigh one, if the advantages are more without mentioning the disadvantages? Do we have to show the significance of one side in this type of question as well?
👇
Does this trend have more advantages or more disadvantages?
You're more likely to get this question: do you think it is a positive or negative development? And, yes, you don't need to talk about the negative side if you think it's a positive development.
@@LilieIELTS Thank you so much for your explanation Mam 🙂
Every time i feel difficult to make specific ideas. i need to be more simple
It seems that you have it all figured out.😛

And what grade did you take
@@fjdjrjrjfjf2473 I got overall 7🙂
Where's the introduction?
No need to write introduction in this type of question
Tomorrow is my exam 😢
Can we also use a personal examples instead of these well-known ones like Mark Zuckerberg?
better not
Today is my exam
How was it
totally confusing
If there was any option to give thousand likes at a time i would give you then..but there's only one..
girl says " the short term" like its chinese words
little bit confused about what professional lives meaning for..? ah ha.. i see
Ma'am I have question, you are telling we can write only one ..but in the question they have used plural form in both .. advantages and disadvantages..so if we write only one then it will cut down marks in TR
Are you talking about these two types of question?
