Objective

5 min

What to do

Write one private note in My Notes. You do not need to submit it.

  1. Read what Foundation means.
  2. Look at the example.
  3. Choose one thing you can do now.
  4. Write one short note for yourself in My Notes.

Foundation means you start with the basics. This helps you take small steps before harder IELTS tasks.

Concept explanation

Foundation level means basic practice with clear help. You do not need to write long essays or speak perfectly yet.

At this level, your job is to:

  • read instructions slowly,
  • answer small questions,
  • write short clear sentences,
  • learn from one mistake at a time.

Task

Make one short note for yourself in My Notes.

Use this frame:

I can ___, but ___ is hard for me.

This is a private note.

Common mistakes to avoid
  • Mistake: Thinking Foundation means no challenge.

  • Mistake: Trying to sound advanced in Week 1.

  • Mistake: Writing a long list instead of one clear note.
