IELTS Writing & Speaking Focus Plan
Duración: 3–4 weeks · Tiempo diario: 2 h · Objetivo: writing/speaking +0.5 to +1.0
Para quién es este plan
Your input skills already clear the bar; writing and speaking decide your result. This plan keeps listening/reading warm with minimal volume and puts every spare minute into output.
El principio clave
Output skills only improve by producing: speak daily and record it; outline daily; study band-calibrated samples for structure, not phrases to memorize. Examiners can smell a memorized script in ten seconds.

Marca las tareas a medida que las completes — el progreso se guarda en este dispositivo.
