hello
Can I ask who writes the ielts exam?
And whether the exam will differ according to the provider?
For example I want to take the exam in warwickshire college rugby, does this make any difference in terms of the exam material and the speaking examiners

Hi Simon,
maybe this is not the right place,but i'd like to ask you some grammar questions that came up to my mind this morning,while i was writing a task 1 essay.
1."the figure of government fundings was at its highest,peaking at just over 6500 £"
2."the number of pupils gradually increased,reaching a peak when the figure DOUBELD TO a little over 2 millions."
3."on the contrary,Britain SAW a sharp decrease in the financial aids,REACHING THEIR BOTTOM at almost 5000 £".
"...and the figure levelling out in 2001".
Thank you so much for everything you've been doing with your website,it is truly a blessing for all of us lost in the middle of the IELTS.
Cheers,
Alberto
