  Dear Sami,
  
  Thanks for your message. With a score as low as 4, I would recommend you take some basic English courses. Once you gain a better foundation in the basics of the language, you will be in a better position to get the skills needed to achieve your target in the IELTS exam.
  Please don’t hesitate to contact me for any other advice!
  Hope that helps,
  Best regards,
