Before you start listening, you will get some time to read the questions. Use this time properly and read the questions and understand the questions completely. When you start listening, keep marking your answers as sson as you listen it. You will not get time to write it later. Also my personal experience is that even if you get time in the end, you will not be able to remember what was played.
So it's best to write it as soon as you listen. I hope these tips would help you in your preparation. In the next part, i would focus on reading skills. Read by getting gist of each paragraph.
Remember that the first step to become a good reader is to quickly understand what the reader wants to convey. Dont read word by word. Read one paragraph quickly and form a mental image of what idea the author wants to convey. This will help you in retaining what you read. You have 60 mins for reading 3 passages. My 1st passage was Olympic torch. It was fact based and easy. For me, 3rd passage was on Child development. It was interesting but it took me more time to find answers.
It would really help you. Make sure you read all the instructions very carefully. Write what is asked.
Such an answer will be considered wrong and fetch no marks. It helps. I used this in Olympic torch essay that had come. There were many years specified in the passage like , , etc.
So when you are answering questions, you can directly locate these figures in passage and you will save time. You need not completely understand what the passage said when it mentioned something in You can come back to passage after reading the figure in the question. I would write about how you can become a better writer and write in a professional, structured and cohesive way. The flow of ideas while writing is most important and I would focus on these aspects in my next post on 'writing for IELTS'.
It's easy to say that you should write logically.. And flow of ideas should be smooth, structured. Part A and Part B. Part A is where you will have to analyse a graph and analyse it. Part B is where you ll have to put in extra effort and give more time. The ideas for both remain the same except that Part A will be small. On test day, i had written around words in Part A and around in Part B. Part A 1. In first paragraph, write about what you would be comparing.
Make sure that you capture the main points. I use transition words whereever possible. For example "In Contrast, A showed growth.. This will make your writing very easy to read from a reader's perspective. It's really important that in for IELTS Writing, you use words like: increased, decreased, remained almost constant, stable, volatile, sharp decline etc.. For eg. Use your own ideas and think in varied directions and then keep forming paragraphs.
My topic for Part B was "In your opinion, what would be the result of introducing a common international languague for communication" So i formed a general introduction that there will be both pros and cons. In cons also i did the same. And i concluded by saying that i feel that the cons far outweigh the pros and there are more disadvantages of introducing such a language.
This is really important. PS: If you have a lot of time with you, start writing a blog. You will realize that as you keep writing every few days, your way of writing will improve.
