Listening * * * four recordings, ***40 small questions, completed in one hour. The recording takes about 40 minutes, leaving 10 minutes to fill in the answer sheet. The first two paragraphs are generally dialogues between two or more people, and the questions are generally fill in the blanks or choose. The scenes are generally the school library, the introduction of freshmen, the information of travel agencies, and the dialogue of radio programs. The content involved is what international students will encounter when studying and living abroad. After listening more, they can grasp the listening comprehension of IELTS test as a whole and sum up several fixed inspection routines, such as numbers, telephone numbers and names. I want to listen to the listening of IELTS 1-6 in Cambridge, and the listening problem of IELTS test is not big.

Be sure to be familiar with the common place names and names from Monday to Sunday, 1 month to1February before the exam. Proper names, personal names and place names should be capitalized. Pay attention to the singular and plural. The first two paragraphs of listening are generally written and selected directly from a certain point. In addition, we should pay attention to the possibility of a trap, that is, someone says one thing first in a conversation, and then corrects it and says another. Don't write at once, but also pay attention to whether there is a turning point behind.

The last two paragraphs are generally read by a single person, with various types of questions, choices, blanks, short answers and drawings. The content is mainly popular science or social science articles. The difficulty of the last two paragraphs is obviously increased. You should have a comprehensive understanding of the article and listen to the content as much as possible to do it well. This is the real test of your ability. Before listening to the recording of each paragraph, you should quickly read the stems of each topic one by one, so that you won't look at the topics in a hurry when you listen. In addition, don't hold on to a point or topic without understanding. Keep listening so as not to miss more points.

The listening difficulty of IELTS Band 5 and Band 6 in Cambridge is obviously greater than that of IELTS 1-4, and there are many inverted sentences and turns, so it is a good material for actual combat simulation and targeted improvement.

When reviewing for the IELTS test, you don't need to listen to the machine classics, because there are too many contents in the machine classics, and the time should be spent where there is more room for improvement. You can download VOA and BBC, put them in MP3, listen to them every day, take a walk and run. Stick to it for a month or two, your ears will become more alert, your reaction will be faster and faster, and you will be constantly exposed to new content.

In my review for one and a half months, I listened to VOA, BBC, CNN and CRI every day for the previous month.

Step 2 read

The reading of IELTS is three articles, which can be completed in one hour, each with 20 minutes, and there is no extra time for answering questions. Time is the biggest problem, so when reviewing, you must pay attention to training the ability of fast reading and answering questions, and sum up the most suitable answering method for you.

When reviewing, you should read the simple and elegant reading articles repeatedly, and gradually you can make clear the direction of material selection for the proposer.

When I'm making Jane Ya 1-6, I'm used to reading the whole article first, and then doing the questions. Although the correct rate is ok, it takes nearly one and a half hours to read three articles in order to ensure thorough understanding. So I began to try to change the method, first read the questions, then read the articles, and strictly control the time. In this way, the error rate soared at first, but slowly persisted, the mentality was stable, the topic was more targeted, and some methods were gradually mastered. The correct rate began to improve, and Kenya stabilized at 7-8 points at 4-6.

According to different types of questions, different reading methods can be adopted to control the time. If there are many choices and judgments, then the article must be read carefully, and the key words, turning words and the first sentence of each paragraph must be drawn to focus on. If you have long drawings, tables and essay questions, you can read the article roughly and have a general idea. Locate the large section of the content to be filled in, and then look for it in a targeted way. This can save a lot of time.

When reading questions and articles, you can write down key words and turning words with a pencil, which can help you grasp the key content.

Each question must correspond to a main point in the text. If time permits, we must find such a correspondence to ensure the accuracy and certainty of the answer.

Different types of questions:

(1), choose the title collocation-first look at the title, find out the key words, write down the key meaning in Chinese, and then read paragraph by paragraph to clarify the central meaning.

(2) The paragraph contains the meaning of content selection-reading the topic, and the read paragraph is generally related to the central meaning or conclusive and tendentious content.

(3), true, false, no judgment-be sure to find the corresponding words in the text, including:

T-the sentence corresponds to the content of the text one by one, and everything is consistent;

F-at least one contradiction or inconsistency;

Ng-There is no mention of a certain point in the sentence, but they are not mutually exclusive, can coexist and are not contradictory.

(4) Answer the question-find the key words of the question and find the content of the article.

(5) Fill in the blanks in paragraphs and charts-positioning, and fill in the corresponding contents in the text strictly. The key is to find that place.

(6) single choice, multiple choices-see the problem clearly. There are key words and meanings in the text. The corresponding points should be clear and the article should be understood.

General reading order:

(1), read the stem, underline the key words and see the problem.

(2) Read the article, underline key words and turning words, and pay attention to the first and last sentences; Reading can solve problems that can be solved immediately without thinking. Find out the central sentence of each paragraph.

(3), come back to do the problem and then go back to the text to find the place. Be sure to find out the place strictly and ensure the correctness.

(4) If you have time, look at the finished questions.

The above answering skills are for reference only.

Step 3 write

It takes one hour to finish, including a short composition (20 minutes) and a big composition (40 minutes). The composition is to look at pictures. According to the contents given in the figures and tables, summarize the main information to be expressed, and compare the corresponding data when necessary. The word 150 is required. The big composition has three themes. It is often to give a topic or an opinion. Discuss the two or ask you what kind of opinions are positive and negative, about preferences or suggestions for yourself. Require no less than 250 words.

Be sure to have enough words.

I don't feel it at ordinary times, but I will really feel the tension of composition time when I arrive at the examination room. Because the beginning is always uncertain about how to write well, time flies after hesitation. So be sure to control the time. You can write a big composition first, and then a small composition.

Keep it simple and straightforward.

Connectives are very important, which can reflect your paragraphs, sentence connections and logical structure.

These are the first points that examiners will look at when marking papers.

The average score of IELTS composition of China candidates is 5.5, which is lower than other parts. Several people I know are elegant, thoughtful and friendly, and some people make mistakes. First, it shows that IELTS composition is not easy to write and the score is low. Secondly, it shows that many candidates (including me) ignore the composition when preparing for IELTS, thinking that the composition cannot be opened or improved in a short time, so there is not much time and the intensity of training is not enough. In fact, IELTS composition is the biggest room for improvement. Practice hard for a month or two, and you will definitely improve greatly. If you spend one tenth of your reading time practicing your handwriting, it will have unexpected effects.

4. Oral English

The location of oral English is in a room in the examination room, where there is only one table. You sit face to face with the interviewer and chat 1 1- 13 minutes.

Speaking ability is more important, but you should not be blind when you are good at speaking, and you generally don't have to be discouraged. Knowing the characteristics of the exam, training and psychological preparation for a period of time will achieve good results.

Spoken English is divided into three parts. The first part is the examinee's self-introduction and general question and answer. The questions asked are related to the examinee's life, hometown, interests, hobbies and attitudes. Go to the English corner to chat with people more, and these will not be a problem.

The second part is to prepare for a given topic for one minute, and then present 1-2 minutes. There are several kinds of topics: people (family, friends, admiration, etc. Experience (an important life experience, experience of learning a foreign language, success, life change, happy hour, traffic jam, etc. ), objects (buildings, clothes, advertisements, laws, gifts, games, music, electrical equipment, etc. ), and location (attractions, etc.). ) these questions should be prepared before the exam, so as to ensure that you can think of something to say quickly after you get the questions.

The third part is an in-depth discussion of the topic in the second part, which involves your views on society.

Speaking depends on strength, but there are also skills to be found.

First of all, we should give the oral examiners a good impression: polite, philosophical and positive. Smile more, take your time, and look each other in the eye when you speak.

Second, remember that there is no standard for oral examination, and the effect is to achieve effective communication and make the other party understand, and what you say is not afraid of superficiality and simple sentence patterns. The key is effective communication.

Third, master some common conjunctions in spoken English, such as Well, ok, you know, however, there, but in fact, absolutely, definitely, when you can't figure out how to say it or the interviewer doesn't understand what you said, you can say ok. Let me explain it in another way. When you think about it, you can say let me think about it.

When you answer, if you have nothing to say, you can talk to your friends and family. For example, I once talked to my friends, and I like to go there with my friends and family. So we had a good time together. Be sure to leave the impression that you are happy with your friends, and attach importance to and enjoy your family.

Finally, don't forget to thank you for your work. Have a nice day. Bye.
