Academic English is a really good course, it’s not just about IELTS you can also prepare for further study. You can learn academic skills such as how to write an essay and do a presentation. Every four weeks we do a real IELTS exam practice. Afterwards, we check our mistakes. We also do some practice exercises each week in class – like the writing part of the exam.
Before I started this course, I was completely lost. I had no idea about the IELTS exam. Without this course, I wouldn’t be able to do it.
I used to write essays at university in Italy and I think the structure is similar but it’s completely different when you are writing in another language. Now I feel much more confident. In the beginning, I wouldn’t be able to do it.
