IELTS Common Grammar Mistake #1 | Band 8 student knows this rule — do you?

Most IELTS students at Band 5 are losing marks because of one word. Not a difficult word. Not a long word. Just two letters. T and H. The word "the." I know it sounds too simple to matter. But trust me, after going through hundreds of IELTS scripts, this is one of the most common reasons students cannot push past Band 5. Examiners notice it immediately even if you do not. In this video I break down exactly when to use "the" and when to leave it out. I keep it simple, I give you real examples straight from IELTS writing, and by the end you will have four clear rules you can use in your very next practice essay. This is Part 1 of the Common Mistakes at IELTS series. Every video in this playlist is based on real mistakes made by real IELTS candidates. No filler, no fluff, just the mistakes that are actually costing you marks and how to fix them.
