We thought so too. However, we recently launched a Facebook challenge which gave IELTS pupils one task per day
that would help identify and improve their weaknesses. Out of all the people that joined this mini-course, less than
5% actually completed all of the tasks we set for them. When we asked people why this was, the most popular
response was ‘I didn’t have enough time’.
This is something that we hear every day, and our response is always the same: if it is important to you, you will
make time.
Everyone gets 24 hours a day. Likewise, we all have obligations, goals and hobbies that we like to prioritise. When
most people become busy, they tend to fall into a routine which makes them think that they are too busy to do
anything else. These people are forgetting that you can be busy and still find time to prepare for the IELTS exam.

IELTS exam and change your life for the better.
