IELTS, It's not a roll of the dice whether we succeed or fail.
(Do not) Roll The Dice
STD- I
am supposed to study hard for the exam, but instead I will roll the dice and
hope the test isn’t that hard.
BSB- Listen
son, an exam is not a roll of the dice whether we succeed or fail. Set goals, take
some classes, study a little each day, make a set study schedule, and use
different learning methods.
STD- OK,
I’ll try to be a good test taker, I know any language is used to communicate. I
must have good techniques and practice. Can you help me with listening,
speaking, reading, and writing?
BSB- Sure.
I am a teacher, I can definitely help, but any more experience learner can help.
Either way, if you want to ace the test, find a partner. Plan your learning. Use
the language for something you enjoy. Listen to English songs, watch films and
TV programs, YouTube videos, record and listen to yourself, take notes.
STD-
I really want to be prepared for IELTS. How can I be ready for listening,
speaking, reading, and writing sections? What is the maximum score?
BSB- All
IELTS scores are between 0 and 9. You can also get 0.5 scores as well (for
example, 6.5 or 7.5). You will get a band score for each skill (listening,
reading, writing and speaking) and also an overview band score. The overall
band score is the average score of all the skills. So, test takers must work
the four major skills.
STD- Ok,
for example, how can I improve my reading skills for the test?
BSB- To
improve your reading speed, practice for about 15 to 30 minutes each day,
checking your rate in words-per-minute. Check your comprehension by summarizing
what you read. Make sure you read faster while maintaining your understanding. You
need to develop, apply, and improve Skimming and Scanning.
STD- My
plan is to make the most and do my very vest on speaking. What do you suggest
for the speaking section of the test?
BSB- Try
to talk as much as you can, and as fluently as possible. Do it spontaneously
and relax. Show that you are confident and enjoy using your English. Prepare
and develop your answers, and make sure you speak more than the examiner. When
something is not clear, ask for clarification if necessary.
STD- One
more question: How many days will it take to prepare for IELTS?
BSB- Five
months. We recommend students to have about four months, one skill per month,
and one month to have a miscellaneous – the last month, all sections
integrated. However, if you are good at English, have class and also study own
your own every day, and want to get a very good band score, then three-month
preparation would be more than sufficient time. The more time you train the
better!
