- to the extent that...

Hi Simon
I love your website already!I found it a couple of hours ago,whilst surfing through the net searching for answer on IELTS.
I received my results yesterday
Listening 7.0
Reading 6.5
Speaking 8.5
Writing 5.5
An overall score is 7.0,which is 0.5 than I need,but I also need at least 6.0 in each band.So my question is: can I re-sit just the writing task? I'm happy with the rest of the results.
Thank you in advance

Hi Simon,
Can we use these phrases into writing task 2? and can these phrases also get band 7-9 in writing?
Thank you.

Dear Simon,
I've got 6.5 for speaking, but I'm a bit confused because I think I did pretty good in the exam, especially in terms of fluency,vocabulary and pronunciation...Just wondering is there any other part that i might neglect before and can be improved? Thank you very much for your advice in advance:)

Dear Simon,
Thanks for your website. It does help me a lot when I prepare my IELTS.
But I have a problem, my writing and speaking seem to hover on 6 level. Can you give me some advice to improve it, and I really need a 6.5 higher score.
Thanks!
Best wishes!
