Playing The IELTS Examiner

In this podcast, our essay corrector Ellen puts YOU in the driver's seat as you review a student's essay with her, deciding what band score the essay should get. With the band descriptors as your guide, you will learn

• How the introduction makes a first impression on the examiner
• How mistakes and missteps can influence the examiner along the way
• How some strong arguments, precise vocabulary and accurate grammar can redeem your score
• How important the last impression your essay leaves is

In the end, you will see how challenging the task of the examiner is and all the elements they take into consideration. This knowledge will help you to construct stronger essays.
