A Letter to Readers
Dear readers，
I want to welcome you to the third book in IELTS EXAMINER SERIES of 9 POINTS. A lot has changed in IELTS since the first book was released seven years ago， and this book will help you deal with some of those changes. The first major point is that over the next few years， the IELTS writing exam is not going to be marked in China anymore， but largely marked in other countries， where it can be done more cheaply.
This will have two effects on the writing exam， one small and one big. The small effect is that your papers will not be sent to Shanghai， Beijing， Guangzhou， or any of the marking centres in China anymore. Your papers will be scanned and sent to examiners in places like India， where your exam will be checked and examined. This leads to the bigger effect. As the papers are no longer going to be marked in China， which means that you students， have to start breaking out of your comfort zones and writing about what is going on around the world， rather than just writing about what is happening in your town， city， or country.
This book doesnt only contain essays， vocabulary and expressions which will help you to push beyond 6.5， but also contains ideas， news， and logic from the real world， which will easily push you beyond 7.5. The most important thing to remember about the IELTS test， is…
IT IS NOT AN ENGLISH TEST — ITS A GENERAL KNOWLEDGE TEST
It doesnt matter if you can read and write perfect English， if you know nothing about the question. How many times have you looked at a question about the environment， education， crime， health， food etc. and your mind was completely blank? This book will give you all the language， ideas， and confidence you need to crush Task 2!
So what are you waiting for? Jump into the book! In closing， I wish you all the luck in the world!
When I was writing this book， I used real Task 2 questions that had been used over the past five years. As you can imagine， the list of questions was huge， and it took me a long time to sort through them. However， after a while I noticed that there were patterns in the questions used. The most important pattern I noticed was that some topics appeared more than others.
The topic that shows up most in Task 2 is education—around 25% of the exams from the last five years were about this topic. Other topics that showed up a lot were health， crime， living in cities， parenting and charities， which all showed up around 10% of the time. With these figures in mind， you should probably remember there is a higher chance of getting an educationrelated question.
With those topics in mind， all the questions in the book have one or two keywords at the top， to help you stay on track. For example:
