IELTS Writing & Speaking Focus Plan
Duração: 3–4 weeks · Tempo diário: 2 h · Meta: writing/speaking +0.5 to +1.0
Para quem é este plano
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.
O princípio principal
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.

Marque as tarefas conforme concluir — seu progresso fica salvo neste dispositivo.
