Hello IELTS students! We’ve got an incredible story to share with you today. It’s about Martha, a brave young woman from Ukraine who faced many challenges but still achieved her dreams. Let’s see how she did it!

Martha’s story

Martha had to leave Ukraine because of the war. She was studying at university, but all her classes moved online. Martha didn’t like this because she loves talking to people face-to-face. So, she made a big decision – to study in Warsaw, Poland instead!

But there was a catch. To study in Warsaw, Martha needed to take the IELTS exam and get a good score. She had to prove her English was good enough for university.

The IELTS challenge

Martha found the IELTS exam quite tricky at first. She was good at speaking and reading, but grammar was her weak point. She tried watching YouTube videos and reading books to improve, but it wasn’t enough.

Then, Martha discovered the IELTS Podcast Speaking Exam Simulator. Here’s what she loved about it:

1. She could study whenever she wanted


2. The course showed her exactly what mistakes she was making


3. She got lots of practice with speaking and writing

The big day

When Martha took her IELTS exam, she was nervous but well-prepared. And guess what? She did brilliantly! She got a score of 7 or 7.5 overall, which is a C1 level. That’s really impressive!

What happened next?

Thanks to her great IELTS score, Martha got into her chosen university in Warsaw. She’s now studying there and loving it. She even gets to study with her cousin, which is a dream come true for both of them!

Martha’s advice to you
