ielts preparation

 BE READY TO LISTEN. Remember that the Listening part of the IELTS test is the same for Academic and General Training Module candidates. There are four sections and each is treated separately and played once only. The moment you hear the words "Section 1","Section 2" etc. Should: Be prepared and ready to listen for the instruction that are given. Listen for detail about the information contained in the coming passage. e.g who? what?w when? why? First, check where the questions are located on the passage in the section to be heard.

If you missed something,forget about it and move on. Always prepare for the next question  rather than worrying about a previous question. When you are given 30 seconds to check your answers, use the time to look at the

 Task 2 writting. Let's start with Task 2 essay. You might be thinking: why? Shouldn't we start with the task 1 essay. I always advise my students to write the task two essay first.There are two reasons for this: 1)The task w is worth more towards your final band score than the task 1 essay. 2)The task 1 essay does not require a conclusion,so if you run out of the time while you are writing your task 1 essay,it won't impact your score as much as if you run out of time writting your task 2 INFORMATION ABOUT THE TASK 2 ESSAY.
