Unmasking the Underworld: The Dark Reality of IELTS Exam Cheating
Buy your desired IELTS scores in Sri Lanka
The unauthorized
disclosure of IELTS exam questions has become a lucrative enterprise in Asian
countries, Sri Lanka included. With over 15 years of experience in preparing
students for these exams, I have taken pride in my involvement in an
educational program that prioritizes integrity in examination and certification
processes. However, recent revelations from reputable sources have left me
feeling deeply frustrated.
For over a year now, I've been hearing rumors about
irregularities within the IELTS exam system. Initially, I dismissed them
outright, but as time passed, I began hearing them from credible sources, which
left me stunned.
The majority of English-speaking nations rely on IELTS band
scores to evaluate the English proficiency of individuals seeking employment,
education, or residency within their borders. Throughout the immigration
process, IELTS scores have been regarded as indisputable evidence of English
proficiency, often serving as the basis for various types of visa approvals.
Dear world, I urge you to diligently verify the authenticity
of IELTS band scores, whether they are from standard IELTS tests or IELTS UKVI
(the purportedly foolproof examination system).
How does the fraudulent practice occur?
Questions and answers are provided early in the morning on the test date. Individuals are charged from 400,000 LKR to 1 million LKR for this service. With a standard memory capacity, one can easily memorize these answers and achieve minimum scores, ranging from 4.5 to 5.5, on both the Academic and General modules. I have personally interviewed six individuals who have succeeded in passing the IELTS in this manner. It is a widely known secret in countries such as Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc. Stakeholders involved in immigration and emigration-related operations in the private sector are well aware of this practice.

Should you use "firstly...", "Secondly...", like linking words in each paragraph of your IELTS Writing Task 02 (IELTS Essay -AC/GM)
It is observed that most of the IELTS test takers write their essays using a lot of linking words like, "Firstly", "Secondly".....etc. particularly they tend to start each paragraph with a phrase that shows a sequence. It is not much expected in essay writing.
The following essay is an example where these sequencing words are not used at the beginning of the paragraphs.
Pets and their role in humans' mental health
The relationship between pet animals and mental health is a
complex and multifaceted one. Studies have shown that owning a pet can have a

such as companionship, purpose, routine, and emotional support.

Looking for Young Entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka.
The top priority is creating and supporting new entrepreneurs
The development of the business sector, particularly nurturing the entrepreneurial mindset among youth is the best way of uplifting the country. I used to be a small entrepreneur during my university time (Undergraduate) and realized how it had developed my confidence and gave me enough training to standing alone as a person in society. [The cruel face of the civil war had destroyed many of our dreams, and had been putting barriers for every movement in the business.] Past is past.
Now the country is not ready for civil war but fighting a
war against hunger.[2020-2022..]
There are numerous business opportunities to take within the country
and take beyond the borders. The problem is the mindset of our youth. Blame on our education
system. Which has been creating paper-based graduates over decades. Youth seem
to have lost their inner – curiosity, hunger for invention, thirsty for
knowledge.. all, because of a government job-guaranteed education system. Just
become a graduate of any subject, government guarantees a job within a few years
from graduation. Most of the crowd dwells in the dream of a government job and doing nothing until then.
Another major portion of the youth population is running behind fake
agencies, low quality private educational qualifications to move to a
foreign country expecting a huge wealth generation. A small population goes for some middle east countries to make an earning almost they can make within Sri Lanka.
Creating entrepreneurs, educating them, supporting them is a part of the life mission.
Through our institution (KU Education) we have been offering
many free educational programs to induce the hidden talents of youth and help
them to identify their capabilities which can be monetized later in their life.
We have been using the following types of a free short courses as a tool to keep in touch with youth and study them.
- Web designing
- Digital Photography
- Digital Videography
- Digital Media Production
- S.E.O and Web marketing
- Communicative English -Level 1,2,3
- Graphic designing
- And much more free courses1
