- Hey there, Chris here from IELTS Advantage

Present continuous

and in this lesson, what we're gonna look at

To-infinitive

is the one thing that you need to consider

So, if you're thinking of booking your test in the future,

watch this video because it's going to help you

avoid so many problems and I'm gonna reveal to you,

during this video, the one thing that you need

And I told her, immediately, just stop booking the test.

until you fix this thing, until you think about this thing.

about the reasons why she kept booking the test

and I asked her just one simple question,

And it started to make me think about the reasons why

that they need to think about before booking the test

because had spent thousands and thousands of dollars

on test fees, on teachers, she was getting a lot of problems

from her family who were putting pressure on her,

she felt like a failure, and she also talked

about missing out on the opportunity to move to Canada

So, I'm sure that you have felt similar things to her

or you might be thinking of these things in the future

and I'll explain it in a little bit more detail.

the first question I ask them is why did you book the test?

And often they can't answer that question.

And then I try and break it down for them

and I say, okay, was your decision based on emotion

Let's check out some of the common reasons

and think about whether they are based on emotion or logic.

my husband, my wife, my father, my mother, my brother,

whoever, told me that I should book the test

or I have to get it done at some date or time

So, the immigration department or the place

My friends were doing it, my auntie was doing it,

my cousin was doing it, they were all moving

to Australia or Canada and having a great life

and I didn't wanna miss out, so I booked the test.

I really knew that I was going to be lucky next time

and I hoped that I would get the score that I need.

Is that based on emotion or is it based on logic?

I hate this test, I have no idea what to do,

there's so much confusing information out there,

Let's just book the test so that I can end this frustration.

I'm so exhausted, let's just book the test.

And number seven, the lure of a better life,

I see on Facebook all these people having an amazing time

and they're living in this amazing country

Basing any decision, especially a life changing decision,

like whether to do the IELTS test or not,

basing that on emotion is a terrible idea.

So the one thing, and the one thing only,

That is a logical question with a logical answer.

If you are ready, you should book the test.

If you're not ready, you shouldn't book the test.
