Reading passage

Streets in the shade

City planners once treated street trees as decoration. A growing body of research suggests they are closer to infrastructure. In one large European study, streets with mature tree cover were measurably cooler in summer — by as much as four degrees — than bare streets nearby, which reduced the energy spent on cooling the buildings along them. Trees also intercept rainfall, easing the load on drainage systems during storms.

The benefits are not evenly spread, however: older districts tend to have far denser canopies than newer ones, an imbalance that can take decades to correct, because the cooling depends on mature crowns rather than freshly planted saplings. Some researchers therefore argue that tree budgets should be treated like road budgets: as long-term capital spending, not beautification.

Do the following statements agree with the information given in the passage?

  1. 1. Streets with mature trees were up to four degrees cooler than bare streets nearby.

  2. 2. Street trees increase the amount of water reaching city drains during storms.

  3. 3. Most city residents support spending more money on street trees.

  4. 4. Newly planted trees cool a street as effectively as mature ones.

  5. 5. The European study collected data for more than ten years.

What's inside

The sample above is a taste. This is what you actually get.

Writing, marked like the exam

Task 2 essays, marked on the four criteria named in the public IELTS band descriptors; Task 1 is set once, in the placement. Then you rewrite, and the rewrite comes back compared with your first draft, so you can see which band the second one reached.

Speaking, scored from your voice

Cue cards in the exam's own format, answered aloud and scored from the recording on pronunciation, fluency, lexis and grammar. The corrections quote your own sentences back at you.

Timed reading mocks and Exam Day

A fifteen-minute reading mock, one passage and up to ten questions, as often as you like. Exam Day adds a timed essay: finish both within 12 hours for one combined estimate, and leaving a section does not pause its clock. There is no full four-section mock.

A plan built to your date

Built from your placement, your target band and the day you sit the exam. It works backwards from that date, so the criterion costing you most gets the weeks it needs.

Spaced review

Every slip is kept with its question and returns after 1, 3, 7 and 21 days, just before you would forget it. Answer well and the gaps stretch out; miss again and they tighten.

Your dashboard

One screen holds the whole picture: today's task, your level and your goal, the review that is due and what your last mock said. You open it and know what to do next without deciding anything.
