Good book

I purchased this book together with Common Mistakes at IELTS Intermediate. This book isn't what I expected *either*. It is based on the analysis of exams scripts which scored band 7 or higher but the mistakes analyzed in this book are relatively simple (still!). The book deal with articles (!!!), when to use capital letters (!!!!), punctuation, using propositions, comparisons, contrasts, numbers and amounts, countables/uncountables, and a long list of commonly confused nouns to name the "best" part of it. There is, indeed, a very interesting section on describing statistics. If this is the kind of mistakes one can make and still get a band 7, I would be inclined to think that IELTS needs to be profoundly revised. As an alternative, I suggest the band description to be re-worded and made less intimidating and more in line with the actual performance that is expected from examinees.

Excellent reference.

Clear and succint.

Everything was perfect 👍🏽

Used product.

It is not that small because it is VERY condensed and there is no waist of space as in other language books. As for the content, it is exactly what students preparing for IELTS Academic need. It is not a textbook on how to take the test. It explains how to say and write correct phrases on IELTS topics. It has very good explanations on the first academic essay (the report). Use of articles and prepositions is explained well too. Briefly, it is not a study-book that prepares you for exam. But it is very useful as a supplement. Strongly recommended for someone who wants to score at more than 6.5.

Writingで些細なエラーなどで減点されたくない人は一読すべき内容だともう。役に立ちます。

Some mistakes we won’t realize when we make are there. It’s good to read before the test just to avoid from making same mistakes.

I got average 7 in IELTS, and I find out this book still helpful for me.
