I have ever taken part in an IELTS examination. Rolling Eyes

,it is the abbreviation of International English Language Testing System.If u want to study abroad or migrate to Britain, Australia,Newzealand and most of Europe countries,you should pass IELTS.Now,more and more countries including the USA and Canada acknowledge IELTS.In my opinion,it is a popular examination which can reflect the candidates' ability of using English more generally and scientificly Idea

In June, we have the IELTS exam, and we must pass the mark of 5.0, because that is the most important factor to decide whether we can become to the sophomore, and also we can�t go to Australia. So, I have a little nervous about that, and I have no enough confidence. Everyone told me that I must take more practice, and try to remember more and more vocabulary. In my opinion, they are necessary, but we have a good way to study English is more important. Now, I am trying my best to study English, and I think my English has an advance than before.

Hi,
When you learn English and you have a lot of time to do that, you are in very good situation. But in your case it is better to learn to use the English you already know in a very efficient way. Practicing a lot is the right thing to do here, and you are going to need a vocabulary but not any vocabulary - there are specific topics. Drop me an email and we'll discuss the best study plan for you, write to [email protected].

Getting a band 5 in IELTS is easy! For the speaking test, just keep talking and make sure your answer relates to the right topic. For the writing, make sure you write the miniumum number of words and that your answer is on the topic.
