Today, I uploaded a brand-new video lesson about IELTS writing task 1. In this lesson, I explained what I thought was the most difficult line graph that I had ever seen. For my IELTS writing correction service, I have helped lots of people with this graph and most of them make the same mistakes. As such, I felt I should make a video about it to help everyone.
Here’s the video:
Let’s now look at a few more videos.
