nikkiwd Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 just home from our first child free evening since being here. We have friends visiting so made use of the offer to babysit. We went to Billy Lees Chinese in Northbridge as it was recommended to us and it was very tasty and pretty good value too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beandownunder Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Just got home from a lovely evening at a fellow PP's house with other PP's. Thank you so much Perth Poms! I've met so many lovely people on this site and tbh it's what keeps me on here as I know I'll meet so many more lovely people! Looking forward to next weekend and dinner with @beandownunder and @Osmond8 and the meet up in the park :smile: I'm looking forward to Friday and Sunday with you both too and have a lovely meet up arranged after the picnic, with the artist formally known as Pea xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Chinese takeaway is ordered and a night chilling out in front of the TV Hile everyone's having a fab Saturday /Sunday xx Hi @Ashlenelouise It's a couple of years since I sat my IELTS test. I found the writing section the hardest one to get the timings right. I answered task 2 first as it is worth more (or was when I did it). I spent the first 3 minutes or so planning my answer (introduction, main, conclusion etc.) and included plenty of connective words e.g furthermore, in addition, however, whereas etc. Hope this helps, Sorry if you already know this. Good Luck!! Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck!! Cheers Dave Thank you every little helps, must admit the writing section is the only aspect I haven't revised as thoroughly as the other sections, and obviously my neglect is showing in my answers. But I have purchased two books specifically aimed at grammar and writing for ielts .. So fingers crossed it pays off thanks for the advice Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My second one I had the writing remarked and came back as an 8 so bear in mind if only half a point off. It's the range of words, grammar, synonyms etc they look for I think, it ll be worth it in the end but stressful at the time I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
