0:00
which is the language skills and these
0:03
usually a little bit harder to
0:07
improve in order to get to a band
0:12
ideas now this is a frustrating point
0:16
for a lot of students because in the ISS
0:19
exam you are tasked with coming up with
0:24
ideas especially for writing task two
0:27
namely now the issue here is that if you
0:30
come from an education system where
0:33
you've been just memorizing and now you
0:37
have to come up with these ideas then it
0:44
difficult it gets incredibly
0:47
frustrating um and the reason why you're
0:53
ideas is because this is the Western
0:56
form of education and you know we need
1:00
these you need these skills for
1:02
University so it can be incredibly
1:05
frustrating now graph descriptions for a
1:08
language exam this is incredibly
1:10
frustrating but it's also asking you for
1:13
mathematics uh and your basic incredibly
1:16
basic mathematics skills but I recently
1:19
had a student who was studying I think
1:20
it was like International Communication
1:23
and she had to take the I academic and
1:26
she was struggling with graph
1:28
interpretations with pie chats with the
1:31
language fractions the percentages not
1:34
to mention the dynamic chats and she was
1:37
incredibly frustrated she's like this is
1:38
a language exam why is it asking me for
1:40
my mathematics knowledge well to be
1:44
fair you're in most cases you're taking
1:47
the ISS academic to get into University
1:49
and once you're in University then
1:52
you're going to need these it's highly
1:55
likely you're going to possibly
1:57
interpret some graphs in some parts of
2:00
the exam uh some parts of your
2:03
course here is a screenshot this is um a
2:07
typical report that you get afterwards
2:10
it's only a section of the report but
2:12
you can see there you can see the
2:14
vocabulary you can see uh which words
2:17
been repeated it could give you
2:20
suggestions to improve your language so
2:22
you move away from the A1 which is
2:23
around band five 5.5 and it gives you
2:27
higher level vocabul L says a quick way
