23⟩ Can you please explain the difference between formal and informal Writing style?
The difference between formal and informal styles is mainly in the vocabulary. Informal words are the ones used in everyday conversations and formal are used in books, contracts, business letters and essays. If the task requires formal writing - avoid using informal vocabulary. If the task requires informal writing, such as a letter to a friend, avoid using formal 'heavy' words.

25⟩ Which Spelling in IELTS I should use either British or American?
Not everyone knows that there is a British and an American way of spelling words, and they are different. The question about the acceptable spelling came up a lot lately and I found out that many students are unsure how to spell words in the IELTS Listening, Reading and Writing tests - the British or the American way.
First, for those who have no idea what I'm talking about, let me explain: if you ask someone from the USA and someone from the UK to spell a word such as color, the American will spell "color" and the person from the UK will spell "colour". There are many other examples:
favorite (USA) - favourite (UK)
honor (USA) - honour (UK)
memorize (USA) - memorise (UK)
check (USA) - cheque (UK)
26⟩ Common mistake in IELTS Writing test?
Common mistake in the IELTS Writing test. As you may know, there are 2 tasks, Writing Task 1 and Task 2, and in both Academic and General Training modules Task 1 is shorter (150 words) than Task 2 (250 words). Often people decide to write the Task 2 first, before writing Task 1. No problem so far, but we are getting to the really important bit.
It is essential that you pay attention to the Answer Sheet and write your answers in the right places. There are 2 marked spaces on the Answer Sheet that you get in the Writing test, one says "Task 1″ and the other says "Task 2″. To avoid confusing the examiner who will check your work, you need to make sure that the the essay is written under "Task 2″ and the report (for Academic) or the letter (for General Training) - under Task 1.
27⟩ How much time should I spend on Writing task 2?
You should spend about 40 minutes on task 2:
☛ write in a formal style
☛ write at least 250 words
