An English-speaking friend has written to you to ask you how your IELTS studies are going. Write a letter telling your friend how you are preparing for the test. In your letter: say what progress you are making explain how you are preparing for the test say which section you are finding the most difficult You should write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any address. Begin your letter as follows:

Dear Alicia, It is always a great pleasure for me to receive your letter. Hope
this
letter will find you in good mood.
However
, in your letter, you wanted to know about my IELTS preparation. I am preparing myself for the exam with all my efforts. If everything goes well,
then
certainly I can pass the exam with flying colours. Every day, I spend four hours on IELTS
besides
my regular academic activities. You would be glad to know that I attained good scores in the writing and listening sections in the mock tests. You know I found an amazing address on the net. The name is www.ielts-adviser.com. I have found
this
place is very handy for IELTS preparation as it has lots of useful content on writing. Most importantly, there are some quizzes and tests for writing task 1. Most times I surf the site for my preparation. One thing here is needed to mention is that I can evaluate my essays on the site. It provides me with a nice evaluation that helps me hone my writing skill significantly.
However
, I am struggling with the speaking part. I need to practice more rigorously as I am getting poor scores in the section. My speaking fluency is not yet good enough to get a good score. Sometimes I mumble while speaking. So, I still need to devote quality time to the section. I eagerly expect suggestions from you as you have 8 in speaking. Your suggestion would be a great help for me. Keep tuned and keep in touch. Yours lovely, Emma
