read
IELTS has a large amount of reading, a lot of new words and a lot of professional vocabulary in academic examinations. But this does not mean that you need to memorize words crazily, but you need to master certain reading skills. First of all, you should be familiar with all kinds of questions, find out whether the article matches the questions, or look for details before you can find them. Secondly, we should read widely and train our reading speed and ability to capture information. IELTS reading is mostly comprehensive reading ability, which cannot be solved by skill training in a short time. Reading training can start with grammar, vocabulary and reading quantity.
It is not advisable to think that IELTS does not need to learn grammar without special grammar questions. Candidates can go through the grammar first, find out their weaknesses, do some targeted exercises, pass the grammar test, and then do other projects with half the effort. Vocabulary is accumulated bit by bit in daily study. It is also a good way to write down the new words encountered in reading and concentrate on memory. The important thing is to find a method that suits you and persevere. Maybe a sentence you learned at dinner today can help you in the exam! Finally, the amount of reading. Relatively speaking, IELTS reading is not boring, but it is also annoying to read every day.
Suggestion: Candidates should be more exposed to reading materials and be interested in something, such as novels and stories. Strive for time to read more books every day. It doesn't matter whether you remember it or not, but you must understand it at that time and ensure a certain number. Of course, IELTS reading training can't be abandoned. At the beginning, you can do classified training questions and have a certain understanding of the questions. It will be more handy during the exam. Even if you have a certain English foundation, you should generally arrange at least three months to prepare for reading in order to achieve better results.
Listening: Listen carefully and repeatedly with the materials.
The best way of listening training is to keep listening and keep close contact with all kinds of IELTS listening materials. Whether walking or resting, seize all spare time (15 -30 minutes) to practice your ears, write down words, sentences and paragraphs you don't understand, and summarize them at night. As long as you listen to it repeatedly, you will listen better and better, and you will improve greatly before you know it. At the same time, listening training is also to lay the foundation for improving oral English. On the one hand, if you listen more, your pronunciation will naturally be more pure. On the other hand, the content of IELTS listening materials is closely related to the study and life abroad. After listening, you will gain a lot of knowledge and the conversation will be meaningful.
Oral English: Creating Context and Accumulating Topics
IELTS speaking involves a wide range of topics and can be extended to many aspects. It requires you to be informative, logical, fluent and standard in pronunciation. So when preparing for the oral exam, we need extensive knowledge and thinking ability. When preparing, we should pay more attention to what is happening around us and learn more about some controversial issues and events of social concern.
Suggestion: read more books and newspapers, exchange and debate with others, increase your knowledge and cultivate your thinking ability. At the same time, we need to create an English environment to practice English conversation. It is natural to have foreign teachers. If not, you can form a study group with your peers and set aside an hour for topic training every day. If you don't even have a partner, you can think of a topic by yourself and try various angles in front of the mirror every day. In addition, the first part of oral English is basically fixed, so you can prepare and memorize it in advance. This will make a good first impression on the examiner during the exam and also ease his nervousness.
Writing: Speed up by comparing model essays.
The comprehensive ability of IELTS is finally reflected in writing. It requires your grammar skills, vocabulary application and logical thinking to be displayed in 250 words, which is the most time-consuming and energy-consuming aspect in the IELTS test. At first, you should have a general understanding of English writing, especially basic things, such as case, punctuation, related words, basic structure, and the writing of opening and closing paragraphs. When training, you can write according to the requirements of the topic first, and then compare two articles with the model essay after writing. Then analyze the words, sentence structure and logical order of the article, and write down good words and sentences for future reference. At the same time, you should also train your writing speed. When writing by yourself, try to control the time for writing big articles within 35 minutes and short articles within 25 minutes.
In addition, we need to practice English words well, write clearly and conspicuously, and use appropriate Lian Bi to make a good impression on the paper.
