#IELTS: Two things to absolutely never write in Writing Task 1 

I don't like extremes like "never" or "always," but ... 

❌ The figure grew up till 2010. 

✅ The figure grew until 2010.

1️⃣ NEVER say "the figure grew up." Children grow up. Figures grow (as do numbers, percentages and the rest of the flock). 

2️⃣ NEVER use "till." Always use "until" instead of "till" in IELTS writing. Always. 

Six IELTS Writing groups started last week. 🤪

Do you want me to share IELTS-y things like explanations or common mistakes? ⬇️
