Congratulations to 3 Keys student Anu, who finally secured the 7 she needed in Writing, thanks to our system, after trying 11 times!

Thank you to subscriber Marsi Potter (who wanted us to know that he’s a guy, and his full name is Marciano), who asked if it was wrong to say ‘bucks’ instead of money or dollars on IELTS.

Actually, that’s a great word for Speaking Parts 1 and 2, or in an informal Task 1 letter, because it’s native slang.

However, in Writing Task 2 and Speaking Part 3, you need to sound more formal.
