Guest: IELTS General Reading
IELTS General Training Reading is not the easy version. For the same band, General Training typically requires several more correct answers than Academic, because the texts are simpler.

Most IELTS General Training letters lose marks in the middle. Not formal, not friendly, somewhere in between, and that is where candidates get the register wrong. In this video, Head Teacher Bailey introduces the E2 Register Ladder: a three-rung system for placing any reader in five seconds, plus two complete Band 8 letters, one fully formal and one semi-formal, written out in full.

Your IELTS General Training letter probably sounds too formal, and it’s costing you marks in Task Achievement. In this video, Bailey breaks down the E2 4-Move Letter: an adaptable shape for the informal letter that reaches Band 8, applied live to two completely different prompts so you can see it flex. No memorised openings, because those are exactly what stops working in 2026.
