Emma I don’t mean to be disrespectful but I can’t sometimes concentrate due to looking at you. I’m married and like I said don’t mean to be disrespectful but not only do you teach well but You’re really beautiful. I’m proud of having such a beautiful English teacher. Thank you so much for helping people to improve their language. Please keep doing what you do since it is a privilege to take classes with you.

soojung7k

qasim2000

7/10 It always become tricky when the question is comes to the IELTS… And my vocabulary is far away from the regular IELTS students… OMG, a lot of things need to do.

ゞ(≧▽≦*)o

Thank you for the video. It’s really helpful. I hope that you didn’t forget to make a video to complete the writing task 1 explanation of the academic module.

Rare

I need to improve very fast because I think to take it nex january :_/

Paola Sotelo

Amazing, It’s very useful for me. After watching your video, I try to do this test, 8/10. It’s not good but I will practice more.
Thanks you so much!

anhtran09

Same to me.

Mayesha

I got 6 correct out of 10 :( The quiz was hard for me.
I need to improve my reading and vocabulary more. Thank you, Emma :) Never give up!

Happy04

yeah it was hard for me to n i also got 6
but it was fun thank you emma.

limitlessA

Emma Tank you very much

khalidse10

I alway mistake between False and Not Given..:(. Tks Emma so much, you helped me understand clearly about that

hasue

this was my first lesson , i think 6 not bad at all :)i want thank all of you for the great work.

limitlessA

Thanks Ms Emma, I got 80%.

I want to ask a question “drifting off course” is it a idiom or else. Kindly explain about that.
Thanks

Abdul Qayum

I totally disagree with the last one question it must be a NOT GIVEN, there’s nothing about Socrates’ ethics

ludmilaz

I think so.

GeorgeDad

Ethics is a part of philosophical musings, in my opinion. Consecutively, no philosophical musings – no ethics.

Henk Seed

The thing is, he didn’t write anything.

CedomirP

Thank very much .

psreyoun

I thought the 3rd statement is false, because a statement can be false not only when it’s opposit of the fact (in the passage), but when there are different modifiers in the sentences (i.e. all vs. some or whatever). Or, I didn’t understand well what Emma said in this video?

granny

Thanks so much,Emma. I’ve learning IELTS recently and i think it has something in common with FCE. Anyway,your tips are really useful.

MIDORA

Thank you so much for helping me.

Rafati

oh! very difficult! I got only 7. need to improve reading skill.

Thank you, Emma

dhissie

Hi,
I want to write IELTS exam.Can i know the books of Toefl will suitable for it or not.

bhanuyelnedi

Thanks Emma!
this lesson of yours proved be very useful for me (especially), because I am going to take the IELTS test soon, so just pray for me and keep doing such lessons that could help me handle the IELTS well. NG type is bit tricky though, but you made it easier to distinguish it from T & F. really! thanks a lot!

Aleesh

thanks a lot……

Dawid copperfield

9 of 10,thanks, Emma!

Henk Seed

thanks!

adriandapo

thank you very much emma

massri

Great test! I hope that there is more that difficult tests like this, just 6/10 :( But I hate NG. I do not understand when we should put false and when NG, really tricky.. This border between no informations and opposite information or slightly about this but not exacly …. ech hard, hard task.

xenovobez

8:10 I like it. thanks for experience.

luckybamboo

thanks Emma

Ernesto Jobs

thinks a lot

alsamrai

Thank you very much. It is difficalt,but very useful

sobol

sorry,difficult

sobol

5/10 pity but true. I’ll try to be more attentive, some questions were explicit for me indeed :). Thanks for the tricks in this lesson.

Shvonder

thank you

silversongssara

thanks on this lesson…:)

alen87

To moderator. There is a part of the quiestion:
—
However, she was preceded by Valentina Tereshkov by almost twenty years.
—
The correct last name of Valentina is Tereshkova (pay attention to the last ‘a’). Correct it please.

Thank you

cosm

Oops! A slip of the pen found: of course “question” instead of “quiestion”

cosm

Yes. This has been fixed. Thanks!

engVid

I don’t understand this exercise:

10. […]Socrates left no written records of his philosophical musings. Most of what we know of Socrates’ philosophy can be found in Plato’s dialogues[…]

Does the following statement agree with the information given in the passage?
1. Socrates wrote many famous treatises on ethics. FALSE

ETHICS is not mentioned in the passage, so how can it be FALSE instead of NOT GIVEN?

audrysilva

Hi.
I did the same mistake. Compare the two keywords:
Socrates – left no written records – of his philosophical musings.
Socrates – wrote many famous treatises – on ethics.
The two statments “no versus many” contradict each other, so F is the right answer.
I hope I could help.

orbert

The text did not mention any piece of his writings, they assured that he did not write any thing, He did not write…
So
1. Socrates wrote many famous treatises on ethics.
Must be FALSE(He did not write ethics or whatever).

Haitham Mostafa

I have the same confusion Miss Audry

shakurullah

Dear Emma,i understood your video about stopped to smoke & stopped smoking……….How about these verbs dear ? “Continue”; “Begin”; “Continue”; “Like”; “Love”; “Prefer”; “Regret”.Please make a video.Awaiting your reply.

choiyeondo

Hi Emma, thanks for the topic. You taught us good points which we need to consider while attempting True, False, and Not given questions in IELTS. Explanation about words always, never, sometimes, often etc… is very useful in finding the correct answer, which usually we neglect.

harpalharry1980

Thank u very much for sharing the valuable tricks in identifying the true, false and not given in the long passage. Hoping for the new lectures.

fzr2000

Hello!Thank you very much!
But, I disagree with the last one! Why is it false?False means that the fact is the OPPOSITE of what you see in the passage.
Let’s see, “Socrates wrote many famous treatises on ethics”.Maybe he wrote, maybe he didn’t… We really don’t know…ethics is not mentioned. Why false?
Emma please help us, or Adam, or Alex, or someone, otherwise I’ll go around the bend.

Hi, Emma! I love your lessons very much, but I’d like to ask you question. What should I do, if the statement after the text says that he DID NOT go to the cinema (for example), and the text says he DID go to the library. What should I right in that question???
By the way, where are you from? You have a very nice accent :)

Sergey Kostrov

Good day Emma, first of all thanks for the lessons!!

I am writing you because I am DESPERATE… I took the IELTS exam last Saturday and I completed the True, False, Not Given exercises with only T, F, NG as you recommended in this video.
Now, a friend tells me that I will not receive any marks as I should have writen the full answer (True, False, …)
Is it true? can you please confirm that your lesson is correct and my friend is wrong?
If my friend is right, can you please help me to get out of this situation by advising what can I argue to the test center?

PLEASE, your reply is really appreciated as I can not sleep at night for this reason.

Thanks again
Best regards

Thank you, Emma! T,F,NG questions are the trickiest ones. I always make mistakes in the Reading section, because of them.

MaximK93

thanks you very much for the lesson and quiz

I was just wondering for question 6 on the quiz:

Valentina Tereshkova is never defined as a woman, in the passage, only as a civilian. As such the person could be either male or female

I have to infer that (because her name looks feminine) is a woman, so she the first woman in space.

I was thinking that this statement would be NG

rjay017

Agreed

raygoromonzi

As you said False and Not Given options are too tricky. I only got 6/10. I wish if there were more classes for reading academic module

Thank you Emma

Elshnawy

Emma! I have a question and I hope you respond as soon as possible since my exam is on 3rd of September. In the first question, you meant by statement listed in the T/F/NG etc, that like first will show up in the first of the passage so I don’t have to look at it in the middle of the passage or at the end of it. Example: Statement/fact: Some of Canadians mostly known that they love cupcakes. In the first of the passage will show up words related to it? Looing forward to your reply! Thank you, appreciate your work.

Inquiry: Hi, EMMA I want to ask 2 questions about the reading section in IELTS exam
.
1- If I put (T/F/NG) instead of (TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN) on the answer
sheet, are these answers (T/F/NG) acceptable for the examiners and
IELTS center?

2- If I put (Y/N/NG) instead of (YES/NO/NOT GIVEN) on the answer
sheet, are these answers (Y/N/NG) acceptable for the examiners and
IELTS center?

I hope you are going to answer my query

The lesson was explained well. It will be great if you make more videos and quizzes about T/F/NG on IELTS reading development skills because it is the most tricky part to master. I do at least one exercise per day of reading IELTS section and the most problem faced is in TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN section.
Would be great favor for students like us.
