About the IELTS exam.
IELTS
IELTS is the exam
that many international students need to do to get into university. IELTS
is also the exam for many people wishing to obtain permanent residency
in Australia.
Here's some information
about the exam.
The IELTS exam consists
of 4 parts:
Listening
Reading
Writing
Speaking
The Academic exam
contains harder Reading and Writing sections. The Listening and Speaking
exams are the same for both General and Academic students and so are much
harder for General students.
There are at least
11 new exams worldwide every year and they change regularly, so there's
no point in finding out what other IELTS examinees have done as, by the
time you do, you will have already moved on to the next exam. In 2006,
for example, some speaking exams included questions on food, flowers, and
furniture. Maybe they'll look at various subjects starting with 'H' in
2009!
The IELTS Listening
Exam
The hardest part
of the exam for many non-native speakers is the listening exam. To become
proficient in the listening exam you have to listen! So that means listening
to people speak English, listening to talkback radio, listening to the
TV, listening to movies etc. There's not much a tutor can do with you to
improve your listening skills besides correct your pronunciation or give
dictation.
The IELTS Reading
Exam
Reading skills can
be improved simply by doing a lot of reading and grammar exercises. There
are some IELTS tips you can learn to slightly improve your reading score
but, really, once again, there's not much a tutor can help you with besides
improving your English. So a general English tutor can help you with reading
and vocabularly building. You don't really need a specific IELTS tutor
to improve your reading skills.
The IELTS Writing
Exam
Writing! If you're
having trouble with writing then our IELTS tutors can help you. John
or Katrina can show you how to improve your writing
skills as well as ways to produce an essay written for the IELTS exam.
John or Katrina can also help you improve
your letter writing skills (necessary for General IELTS Writing) as well
as improve your interpretation of graphs and charts (necessary for the
academic exam) Of course, our IELTS teachers will tailor your lessons to
suit what you need.
The IELTS Speaking
Exam
John or Katrina
can help you improve your IELTS score in the speaking exam through doing
many speaking practice tests with you. They have lots of speaking practice
tests on file that they can do with you and can assist you in improving
your response times in the exam. When you need to practice your English
with a native speaker, John or Katrina can
help.
If you would like
to start your IELTS preparation lessons, please contact John or
Katrina today. If you have intermediate English you
may only need a few lessons to improve your IELTS score. If you are still
a beginner, you may need a lot more lessons before you're ready for the
IELTS exam. John or Katrina can advise you
during your lesson of what you need to do in your own time to improve your
score.
