Hi Simon,
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question..
I read in the Official Ielts Practice Materials book that if in gap filling exercises you write extra words that aren't included in the aswer key (not even in brackets), it is considered incorrect. I was wondering if this is the case even if what you have written isn't in any way irrelevant and doesn't exceed the word limit. For example, if you write 'not very friendly' and the answer key only has 'not friendly', would that be wrong?
Posted by: Maria | Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 11:06
Don't worry Maria, it's not as strict as some people say. Your answer would be fine.
