IELTS Writing Task 1 Tip - Giving Full Answers
When you are doing IELTS writing task 1, it’s important to give full answers. What exactly is a full answer? Imagine you have two maps of an island. On the first map, the island is not developed. There are just some trees, a beach and a swimming area. But on the second map, you can see hotels, accommodation, roads, walking paths, piers, etc. What you need to do is talk about ALL of the changes that happened in your IELTS writing task in 20 minutes. Also, small details matter. Did you forget anything? If you did, this may cause your score to decrease in your Task Achievement (your answer score). The thing you need to do is talk about as much as possible in 20 minutes. Giving full answers is an important part of getting a good score. So be attentive to details and your overall score will improve.

IELTS Listening - Using Grammar To Find Correct Answers
How good is your English grammar? Good grammar can actually help you find the correct answers on an IELTS listening test.

Imagine you have to complete this sentence with no more than 2 words, “For many people, breakfast is the most ___________ meal of the day. Now imagine you hear this sentence, “It is commonly required by and of essential importance to many.”

Is the answer required, essential or importance? Well, if you have good grammar, you would know that the word “meal” is a noun and usually needs an adjective before it. The word “essential” is an adjective because of the “ial” ending, so voila, the answer must be “essential.”

And you're right, it is too early to think about grammar. Come back and read this tip after coffee ... ☕️☕️😃🤔🤓
