Actually, I have been studying IELTS for one month but I did not get any one more band score at my reading test. Thus, I decided to search some websites which can tackle my problems. Fortunately, I met this website and it could show my main weaknesses and then how to convert it to be strengths. I do really thank to admins.

I have been studying IELTS reading for two months. Whenever I took the practice tests, my marks were really low and time was never enough even though my English level was not that bad. I could not figure out what was wrong with me. I even got depressed. I paused myself and thought about it. I sort of doubted that something must be missing. Will it be some reading strategies? Then I googled all possible websites and luckily found this website. It really helped me. Now all the clouds are clear. I learnt a lot of useful tips how to apply while answering the IELTS reading test. I cannot thank enough to the admins who created this website. You are my life savours. While learning the free reading course, I could see how much efforts you guys had put into it. I could also see how experienced you guys are in this field ! At the moment, I am only focusing on the reading skills. By the time I prepare for the Writing skills, I have decided to go with you, too. I will definitely buy the paid course in the near future. I have no doubt that my money will be wasted. We will get more even what we have paid for I am sure.

Please let me thank you again here. I really appreciate for designing this course. Thank you.
