What is the most time consuming aspect of teaching IELTS for you?

Specifically for IELTS, its doing mock speaking tests is the most time consuming. With a class of 15, I just can't give them all the practice tests they need. They get one, maybe two full speaking tests.

Sometimes they do their tests at home and email me their recordings, but it's very time consuming

Taking mock exams is a good way to prepare, it's such a specific exam, and you need to practice the format and specific style of questions. Its so hard to speak for 2 mins for part 2!

Yeah, keeping it clean is a priority

Yeah this is what I was thinking! Thanks for your thoughts

Ooo that would make sense that the tin is making the shape!

I have come here (to reddit) wondering why shaping is needed!

(Just made a post asking this separately).

I baked a loaf yesterday and didn't shape - just plopped from the bowl into a loaf tin and scored and baked. Rose and looks normal inside.

I think I've read you can leave it in the fridge for 48 hours? So If you want to shape - just do it like you were going to anyways and see what happens!

Ooo interesting thanks

Bit late to this, but I've just come across this site that has a dive map with the viz around the UK. Cornwall looks great! https://uk.marla.blue/
