I'm keeping track of this one because it was one of the first to come by the Yask One Picker.
  He wrote another report the next day and I can't recall any

Fook you did a Great Job Doing the Wrong Thing

For some reason, I felt compelled to write a model answer for this non-question.

 

There are two graphs which show how the career paths and graduation numbers varied in Britain around the turn of the milenium.

Overall, whereas more students were graduating annually at the end of the period as compared to the decade prior, it was not a steady growth. This accompanied a shift away from professional work into other fields. 

 

1997 saw the peak of new British graduates at 195K individuals, which was 20% more than seen in 1992. By the year 2002, by contrast, the number had fallen by more than 15% (180K).

 

It can also be noted that a significantly smaller proportion of graduates commenced work as professionals. In 1992. more than half (58%) of the UK's new grads were moving into these types of careers. 11 years later, they were down to around 4 in 10.

 

Office jobs in clerical work, and commerce absorbed some of these graduates, while managerial work remained relatively stable. (155 words)

From Myanmar, A Line Graph Lesson

 

Hi. Brother Joko here, the founder of IELTS Temple and a long-time (7 years) resident of Myanmar. If any of the followers of this site/page/YouTube channel were wondering how I'm doing in the aftermath of the political turmoil here - let me say that I'm doing fine. 

Worried? Yes, of course. This becomes more and more pointed not only with the worsening of the crisis here, but also as I become one of the fewer and fewer foreign nationals who remain in the country. Everyone's fleeing. 

What's next?  

How about what we do best at IELTS temple: an instructional video featuring feedback for one unsuspecting member of the IELTS Tips and Tricks group on Facebook. 

Help is needed. 

An New Branch of IELTS Temple has Opened!

As I put the final touches on the first webpage I had built for my own purposes since the late 90's, I asked myself the question - isn't this going to make it even more work to spread your teaching over a wider audience? Right now, there's my You Tube page, the Facebook Page and this here on Blogger.  Both Blogger and YouTube are owned by Google, so they interact well.

Now, Google has it's a sites space (I guess it's existed for some 5+ years actually) and we can now build our own websites, limited by the helpful site builder.

The Circle of IELTS - So long, Ali!

(why the guy fowkes mask?)

I feel a bit anxious today, as well as fortunate. One of "my students" is taking his IELTS exam here on 4 January (sometimes that means all 4 parts, but usually speaking is done separately). It was just by coincidence and his diligence in putting his essays where I will see them, but I ended up reviewing 3 or 4 of his Task 2 essays. Consequently, I feel like I have some stake in his
