Hi Lewis! I can't say that a topic of articles causes any significant troubles for students. In my practice I have noticed that usage of prepositions is a far more complicated area.

- Hey community! How did you choose between IELTS and TOEFL? Which one is better to obtain?
Best answer
Great question. Toefl is mainly for those who need to immigrate to the US, whereas IELTS is accepted in many universities around the world including the US. I would go for the IELTS test because I would have more opportunities to study in any country I like. To add to that, we also have the PTE test which is for Australia and Celpip for Canada. Those countries also accept IELTS. SO, IELTS it is.

English is a universal language. It's important to learn it so you can be able to communicate with people in other areas of life.
