Read the following text and try to answer the question you will find at the bottom.
One day my family and I decided to try windsurfing. We went for a few lessons first (only 5) which gave us some idea of the techniques to use when trying to windsurf. After our introductory course we hired a board and off we went for a day at the sea. Although we were not very good, we knew HOW to practice to improve. We only knew this because of our introductory lessons. Just watching others do it would not have been helpful at all, in fact we would have become frustrated and given up.
Reading other peoples model essays is a bit like this. When you read it you think 'it seems so easy' but when you try you find out that it's exasperatingly, frustratingly, anxiety provokingly DIFFICULT. Like the poor people who had no lessons to learn to windsurf, you too feel like giving up. REMEMBER THIS: We only needed 5 lessons to learn enough to be able to HELP OURSELVES. We will never be champion windsurfers, just as you will most likely never be able to write English like me and I will never be able to write Chinese (which I am trying to learn) or any other language, like you.
THE GOOD NEWS IS: you don't have to - you only have to get through the IELTS test. We didn't aim at being champion windsurfers - we only wanted to have fun. You, like us, only need to be given some techniques and away you will go. A WORD OF CAUTION: If I had only one hand, for example, I would not have been able to learn to windsurf. If you do not have the basics of English you will be in the same position. However, if you do have the basics all you need is the techniques to tackle the IELTS. MY VIDEO WILL HELP YOU WITH THIS.

All IELTS-related research activities are co-ordinated as part of a coherent framework for ongoing test development and validation. Activities are loosely divided into areas which are the direct responsibility of Cambridge ESOL, and work which is funded and supported by IELTS Australia and British Council.
Routine analysis of test data is conducted on test materials and test takers¡¦ performance to ensure that IELTS provides valid and reliable information for score users, and that the tests are fair to test takers whatever their nationality, first language and gender. The internal research and validation agenda is complemented with work carried out through external grant-funded studies.
Comprehensive information on how IELTS is marked and what the band scores mean and how they should be interpreted can be found in Score processing, reporting and interpretation.
