Stop blaming your English.
Your English is not the real problem.
The reason your IELTS Reading score refuses to move past Band 6.5 is because IELTS is not truly testing your English.
It is testing one specific skill most candidates are never taught:
Paraphrase recognition.
Every correct answer is already sitting inside the passage.
But IELTS quietly changes:
And suddenly:
“many” becomes “some”
“often” becomes “occasionally”
“caused” becomes “linked to”
“increase” becomes “growth”
The answer is still there.
But it no longer looks the way your brain expects.
That is why students keep rereading passages while their scores remain stuck.
You are not failing because your English is weak.
You are failing because you do not yet understand the game IELTS is playing.
This book changes that.
In seven days, you will begin seeing IELTS Reading differently.
