How to use these lessons

Choose a difficulty you recognise from your own practice. Each card names one small problem and links to a complete lesson. You can begin without an account. The band chips describe a suggested practice range, rather than a judgement of your current English. If the task feels unfamiliar, use the related guide before trying it.

Allow about ten minutes and keep a sheet of paper nearby. Answer the opening check before reading its explanation. Then read the pattern behind the difficulty. Follow the numbered strategy and try the fresh task before opening its review. The steps help you inspect a decision, rather than collect a result.

For Listening, ask a partner to read the original script while you cover it. Reading a visible transcript is a different activity from hearing it. For Reading, locate evidence in the passage. For Writing and Speaking, compare your response with the self-check questions. Text cannot establish pronunciation or spoken delivery.

Keep your response and one reason for a change together. Tomorrow, try the suggested variation without copying today’s answer. Compare the same learning move across both attempts. If evidence remains unclear, write down what is missing and ask for focused feedback. You do not need to finish every lesson in one sitting. Nothing is saved on this page, and these exercises do not produce an IELTS score or a band prediction.
