Pham,

I strongly suggest that you closely follow Simon's model essays, eBook, and videos. Simon's approach to the IElTS test is direct and practical for IElTS candidates who aim for higher scores (7+). Some other IElTS books aim to write complex sentences unnecessarily. I would say the latter approach may reduce your score because it is too complex to understand.

Hi simon, how are you
Can you please help me to improve writing and speaking for 6 or more.
I am an average student.i have some confusions in my mind.
is it true that in writing 2 firstly secondly become outdated and can reduce bands ?
supervisors in ielts exam hall can cut bands if testtakers do not follow instructions in listening test what speaker say (untill speaker do not give instruction to read for section 2, candidate can not read)

Hi Simon, per the question 2.Bristol was the UK’s second city in terms of the number of cyclists, ______ 8,108 in 2001.

Is the answer with?

I found this sentence from your blog.
Bristol was the UK’s second city in terms of total numbers of cycling commuters, with 8,108 in 2001 and 15,768 in 2011.

That's why I thought the answe could be with.

However, "at" also sounds OK to me, since there is no -ing in this case.

I appreciate your comment.
