- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Awesome book! It really helped me familiarise and retain ideas of what I am reading through identifying keywords and key phrases. I also like how the book explained the importance of paraphasing. It really help me a lot in locating answers to the questions in my IELTS test. I love all the Chapters, but my special favorite was Chapter 6 because my grammar is poor, it help me improved my grammar. Overall, I highly recommend this book to students who wants band score of 7 or even higher. Thank you for this wonderful book!
