Hello Simon,
could you please help me to sort out a confusion.
In a bar chart if it is given 'time off and help with fees' can we paraphrase it with 'help in terms of day off and monetary aids'

Dear Simon, I have got a question the answer for which I have not found virtually anywhere.
How many essay types can be found in writing task type two?
Some say there are only two:
-Account essay
-Argument essay

If you continue the list, or comment on this issue, I would be so much thankful and would highly appreciate your help.
This is my weakest point. I have not a clear view on this matter. SO PLEASE HELP! Thank you!

Hi Manisha,

No, that's not a correct phrase. I wouldn't try to paraphrase it - just use the same words for that one.

Hi Azkad,

Dear Simon,
How can I improve my listening? In your opinion, is it good way to practice more than one ielts test every day? Or one test plus other sources like BBC ?

Thanks.
