90% .it’s great lesson. Thanks
I completely agree with you ! It was a great video lesson Dr. Solaiman.
By the way, are you a doctor?
Bye for now.
Hi… Yah i am doctor, s .i am surgeon .specalist in emegency medicine
Thank you, Dr Solaiman. I wish you all the best with your English – so critical in your very important line of work.
I am very happy. that you write me my teacher Rebecca. It’ something great. Thanks a lot
it looks that the seventh answer is incorrect as it refers to the first choice as the correct one,whilst it should be the third.
am i right?
I really didn’t understand you, maybe because of my bad English, but the 7th question’s answer is “Could you to repeat that please” and the 2nd and 3rd answers are correct to say but don’t suit the question.
Remember, the question asked which answer was WRONG!
9/10 , Thanks a lot :)

Hi, Rebecca! I want to pass bec vantage exam next year. But I can’t get enough preparing materials. Could you advice me something? Thank you
The best option is to order materials related to the BEC Vantage exam of course, but I see from the Cambridge website that you can download samples of their exams.
http://www.cambridgeenglish.org/exams/business-certificates/business-vantage/whats-in-the-exam/
Once you do this, check the kinds of reading, writing, listening and speaking tasks that are included. You may be able to use guidebooks for the TOEIC and the IELTS to help prepare for this exam as well, but first make sure you understand exactly what is included in your own exam, so there are no surprises. You could also try to find a private teacher who might be able to help you by researching what’s required to do well on that exam. All the best to you.

Rebeca, like always yours lessons are excellent. Carry on putting various vídeos. You are the better teacher. Congratulations. I wish talk to you one day for training my english.
Thank you kindly for your feedback. I am happy to hear you find the lessons useful. I wish you all the best.
100% :3
I’ve something to say for you, maybe we shouldn’t memorize answers, but at least we should take a general idea about the answer and train answering beside prepared answers, aren’t I right?
train answering beside prepared answers,شو بعني؟ ممكن توضح …
Yes, I agree, you should practice answering the questions in your own words after studying model answers. The model answers will teach you how to structure your answers and may also give you useful vocabulary. Learn these lessons and apply them to creating your own answers. I wish you all the best.
Thank you for your great tips <3 <3
I got 10. Have I earned an IELTS sertificat?
Unfortunately, our quizzes are not equivalent to taking the IELTS. :(
I got 100%)
thank Rebecca very much.
Hey teacher, if “kids” is a slang word then why would the British Council name their website by “Learn English Kids British Council”? would you explain please?! :) Thanks
The British Council decided to use informal English on their website, which they have a right to do. After all, they are not appearing for any exams! I would recommend that students use proper, formal English on their exams to get the highest scores. My best to you.
thanks
10/10 thanks for your great tips. it’s very useful for us.
Thank you Rebbecca I will pay attention to these tips.
Can I follow these tips also in formal interview?
Thank you
Yes, in terms of being formal, grammatically correct and business-like. In an interview, though, sometimes it depends on the style and personality of the interviewer and the job you are applying for. You have to adapt to that style while being convincing. All the best to you.
Speak loudly, and not softly and quiet made my score be 90%. Ok, next time I will speak so loudly, but so loudly. Hihihihihi. Thank you teacher.
HAHAHA ME2
finally I found the solution to solve my problems..thanks a lot..

Could you to repeat that please? – I was really surprised that it’s a correct answer, cause we taught do not use “to” after CAN…
Not sure what you are referring to. Yes, we should say:
Could you repeat that please?
All the best.
Okay, I understand. You misunderstood question number 7. You were supposed to choose the answer that was INcorrect.
my Score is 90… That’s not good :(
you are very good teacher and I can understand you .
sounds great tips,i realy appreciat of you
I LOVED THAT LESSON THANK YOU
i scored 90 it is very useful thank you
Hi, Rebeca
Firstly I want to say thank for giving some amazing lessons. I have watched all.
Secondly, I would like to aks you how do I learn/build IELTS vocabulary? I went to the library and they have 50 books about it.
* 400 words you must know
* 1100 words you must know
Which book should I choose and how to use/build it effectively?
Thank very much.
Thiago
Thanks for your feedback. When you look through the books, you will find many strategies to improve your vocabulary. I would recommend choosing the books which please your eye and which use the methods you enjoy the most, because then you will feel like studying more often and in effect, learn more. You can also take badly designed books with good vocabulary and create vocabulary learning methods of your own. The more you interact with the vocabulary, the easier it will be to master it. I wish you all the best.
100% I really like your lessons my brilliant teacher
Thank you kindly. My best wishes to you.
hallo everybody.. Is anyone looking for pracise in the speaking part of IELTS? I am interesting to practise via Skype.
if you want add ninguem00001 :) I’d like to practice my English
Yes, I am looking for someone to practice IELTS speaking via Skype. Could you please give me your skype ID? Thank you.
Thank to all of you for your feedback. I wish you all the best on your exam.
Please do check the many useful resources on http://www.goodluckielts.com to help you get a higher score. It is not an easy test, so practice the skills needed to score well in each section and allow yourself enough time to prepare for all parts of the test. If you can join an IELTS preparation course, so much the better.
Please also check the many other excellent IELTS lessons by my fellow teachers on engvid. Check here for all the lessons:

Teacher Rebecca I can’t organised my ideas when I was pratised speaking test with friends.But then I got the ideas how to response theirs questions so I don’t know what’s my problem.
Thanks Rebecca. I’ve got 10/10 but….I’m worried about getting nervous on examination day. Once my nerve kick off I cannot talk. Thats my problem :(
Hi, Rebecca! Thank you for the excellent videos and lessons. I’m not preparing for the IELTS test, but for the BULATS test, in Speaking modality. So, could you help me, please? I have a question: is the examiner able or prepared to realize when the candidate knows English, but is so nervous that can’t show how much knows about the language?
Dear Rebecca,
You teach us all techniques for learn and you give us the best methods to pass any English exams.
I bow like all good French student.
Best regards.
Much appreciated!! thank you Rebecca. looking forward for such many more videos.
90/100, I’m very happy. thanks Rebecca!
Hy Rebeca, I think that a question doesn’t show the correct result.
Because, I think that the auxiliary verb “could” doesn´t can be followed of the infinitive verb only base verb. (Question 7)
By the way, thank you for exercise.
Thanks a lot for your teaching, and it makes me easier to learn how to speak well.
I just start to prepare for IELTS, so sometimes I don’t know how to prepare at the beginning. Could you give me some advice to follow please? ><
yes

1 – Could you please repeat that?
(mentioned in the video)
2 – Could you repeat that please? (My choice)
3 – Could you to repeat that please? (Marked right)
I couldn’t understand!!

How to improve our speaking????????
plz show me a good way to i improve my speaking…
Hi,
I think I’m sure thick “c” for number five. But that’s not dilemma at all. 8 of 10 was so impressive personally. Next time should really take a look carefully and not to rush to fill the answer like in the number seven.
By the way, I would like to take an IELTS test next month and my last simulation test was far away from piece a cake. If anyone who would like to find partner to practice, I will try to arrange my time, so we can achieve our purpose together. My aim is pass band score 7, especially on speaking. Here’s my Skype: Yudha_Saputra91
I’m very appreciate for your effort and time to add my Skype.
Ups, and, I would like to thanks to Rebecca for the comprehensive tips from the lesson. I wrote it down on my white paper so I could prepare and practice when I’m offline.
Regards
Hi
