Later this month, on September 21st, this blog will celebrate its 10-year anniversary. I've been thinking about what to do when I reach this milestone.
I almost came to the decision that the 10-year anniversary would be a good time to stop the blog. But I'm not going to do that just yet. I still enjoy writing daily lessons and teaching in this way, and I feel that I still have something to offer to help IELTS students.
So, I'll keep blogging and I'm also working on a new idea. By the anniversary on the 21st, I hope to have a new member area for people who like my lessons and want to go deeper into IELTS and the English language with me.
I'll tell you more about the new service soon!
it's good that you still enjoy what you do.
by the way,
Congratulations on your 10-year blog anniversary! May you and your blog live long!

oh, Simon. We would have been so heartbroken if you had eventually come to decision on pursuing the idea said before the marvelous "But" in the first sentence of paragraph two.:)
we appreciate your work.
wish you long teaching.
happy anniversary,

Hi Simon
Yeah, it's glad to hear that you are keeping blogging. Thank you very much for that. In the time to come, in return I will spend more time studying your lessons, and suggest you videos and articles I find fascinating then you can write free lessons using them.
By the way, hope that students the world over will be able to experience your new service soon.
Best regards,
Khánh

Congratulations on the 10-year anniversary of your blog, Simon.
Really, I love your lessons and particularly your tips and advice for English learners like me. They are just inspiring and can't be better. Whenever I feel stuck with my English study, I would reread your advice as to learning all four skills of the language and then my motivation to master the language would come back as a result. Your advice means a lot to me and I guess to many other learners out there.
One more thing I'd like to let you know I'm a big fan of your writing. Hopefully, I could copy your style as soon as possible.
Thanks for your sharing and teaching. May you good health and best of luck.
I look forward to your future lessons and I hope I can contribute something to your blog soon.
Best

A good teacher is like an angel who shows the right direction to their students, and you are indeed an angel who is working selflessly to enlighten his pupil with the knowledge. Please keep on sharing your teachings with all of us. Thank you so much and God Bless You.

Mr Simon
"All good things come to an end", whispered my ex, as she left.
I guess there's a lesson there somewhere.

Sir, I remember I have been using this ielts blog since 2013.I learnt many things from this website about ielts. I always follow this blog.I like what Simon sir teaches us.But I request to you sir that please do not close this ielts -Simon blog because everybody can't pay high price and can not find good ielts coaching centre.Teachers are not competent.So, keeping the students demand ,think once again that how many students will suffer if this blog will be stopped.We always depend upon your website because ielts is unpredictable exam and we have no idea how to read and write in ielts style.This test is very different than English literature test. We celebrate its 10 year anniversary with great enthusiasm and posting new ideas how to move ahead from this milestone in the coming days.

Dear Simon,
I'm really looking forward to the "member area" idea. So glad that you will continue blogging!
Also I've got a wish that it'd be great if you could probably have a collection of writing task 2 essays and sell it? Just a little wish. The most important is that you keep blogging, then most of us will be really happy:) Thank you very much!
