When to use 'issue' and 'subject'

30/7/2014

 
I am not sure if this a common problem or not but a student asked me today so I thought if any other student had this problem then this post would help. 


So what's the difference between 'issue' and 'subject'? And when can I use them? 


Well, basically, in some cases they can be used interchangeably. For example, 'The main issue of the story is their forbidden love.' or 'The main subject of the story is their forbidden love.'. 


But, this is not always the case. So I am going to give you an easy way to know when to use which one:


If it is a problem or concern, use 'issue'.  For example, 'The main issue with learning English is the pronunciation.'.


If it is related to a thought or discussion, use 'subject'. For example, 'The main subject of conversation was English pronunciation'. 



Hope this clears up any concerns you may have when to use these words. 


If you want us to answer any other English questions you may have, just send us an email or comment below.


Until next time, happy learning!

IELTS Bands Explained

27/7/2014

 
This article is going to explain the often confusing IELTS grade band. Actually, it is quite easy, once properly explained. So if you've just applied or just got your result and are confused by the grade system, everything will be clear by the end of this post. 

So the IELTS band range from 0-9 with 9 being the highest. If you score a 9 in the exam, you are considered to be near native level (C2 according to the Common European Framework for Languages). 

If you score from 6.51 - 8, you are considered to be a proficient speaker of English or an advanced user. It is the equivalent of being C1 in the Common European Framework for Languages (CEF). 

If you score 5 - 6-5, you are a high intermediate. You can use the language comfortably but still sometimes struggle. It is the same as being B2 according to CEF. 

If you score 4-5, you are an intermediate. It is roughly the same as being B1 in CEF. 

If you score below 4, you are considered a beginner and in the region of A1/A2 in CEF.    

Now that the grade band is explained, you can focus on ways to improve your grade. Why not take some classes with Learn-EnglishOnline.net and notice the difference in one hour?
