I’d like to tell you about the skill that requires longer time to learn. It’s academic writing for IELTS. The reason why this is challenging for me is because I didn’t get used to writing in academic language. So it requires longer time to practice in different topics besides that I also hire personal teacher that guided me how to gather ideas quickly and right in an accurate way within specific minutes. Additionally, I also look for online website that assists me how to write or how to control my grammatical error in my writing so then it helps me to boost my score. Besides that I also discuss specific phrases with my friends helping me to remember specific better to control my grammatical error while having a practice. So I was grateful as I could get 7 in my writing score in IELTS because I know that in order to master this skill it requires more than a year of practicing, getting through trial and error and I had to be patient to be consistent writing every single day.
