 2.4.2 Review method

（1） Recite the words

Compared with reading , In the process of listening practice, reciting words is more important . Because the proportion of IELTS listening is basically 50% about , So many times the problems we can't understand and write are serious . Then for the recitation of words, you can use physical books to recite them, or you can use APP Come and recite . I personally suggest that if there is enough time, it is better to recite in physical books , If time is really not enough app Come back .

app recommend ： New Oriental music words （ Not recommended Cut a hundred words And other app）

Hundred words chop was used when I learned English in my early days app, It is mainly suitable for those who don't have a good foundation of English , Hundreds of words are often cut according to the picture to choose words , In fact, if you put away the pictures , Many words are still not remembered , So hundred words chop has been abandoned by me for a long time .

I use New Oriental music words The reason is ：app It is matched with the physical book , Then you can review according to your study plan , meanwhile app It has its own basis Ebbinghaus forgets the curve To review the function of , So I liked to use this when I was reviewing IELTS words app To memorize words .

2.4 Listening part

2.4.1 Exam notes

The intonation and accent of every part of IELTS listening are different , We need to be familiar with all kinds of accents , In order to avoid being busy in the examination room .

Examination time ：40 minute , Among them, the exam 30 minute , Filling time 10 minute （ You can write it on the test paper first and then fill in the card ）

Standard for evaluation ： The scoring standard of listening is the same as that of reading , It is also calculated according to the conversion system , For example, I got the right answer 39-40 A title , Then my corresponding score is 9 branch , I'm right 27-29 Questions , The corresponding score is 6.5 branch

The difficulty and content of the exam ： IELTS listening difficulty increases step by step , From simple to difficult . But as far as I'm concerned , On the contrary, I think two of them section More difficult , Because the first and last section All fill in the blanks , fill word It's a project I'm good at , On the contrary, the question types of the two parts are relatively unstable , After all, the unknown is the most terrible .

In terms of content , IELTS Listening topics include campus , social , Research and other topics , The more professional and academic it becomes , But don't worry, IELTS Listening won't let us fill in professional vocabulary .

Test question type ： Completion , choice question （ The radio + multi-select ）, Map problem , Table title , Flow chart, etc

Recommended review materials ： IELTS official question （ The sword 4-15）+《 Nine points 》 Listening

I used these two sets of books when reviewing , It can be said that as long as there are these two sets of books, listening is basically no problem .

2.2 The reading part

2.2.1  The test matters needing attention

Examination time ： The reading test time is one hour , Is the total 3-4 The article totals 40 A title .

Score evaluation ： The IELTS reading score is Conversion system , For example, I 40 The answer to three questions is correct 39-40 Just take one 9 branch , Answer 27-29 Just take one 6.5 branch

Reading question type ： The types of questions include ： Usually fill in the blank , choice ,T/F/Not Given topic , Subtitle matching , Charts, flow charts, blank filling questions, etc

The difficulty of the exam ： IELTS reading test Compared with all kinds of English tests in our country, it is relatively simple , The only thing to note is that the IELTS reading test has a time limit ,60 You must finish the exam in minutes , Because it's time to roll up , This is different from the domestic exam . In addition, IELTS reading test, even if we can't read the article, we can use some exam taking skills to solve the problem , So don't worry about insufficient vocabulary when reading IELTS , After all, everyone doesn't understand professional vocabulary .

On the whole , IELTS reading test is simple , Just review for a month and get one 6.5-7 It's really no problem , Want to get it 8.5-9 It's a little difficult .

Recommend coaching materials ： Cambridge IELTS official textbook （ The sword 4-15） and 《 IELTS 9 Assigned person 》 Read

2.3 The writing part

2.3.1 Exam notes

Examination time ： The exam time is also 60 minute , There are two compositions , Essay + Big composition , The number of words in a small composition should be at least 150 word , The number of words in a big composition is at least 250 word . Simply put, write at least in an hour 400 A composition of words .

Examination content ： The small composition mainly focuses on chart writing , Such as ： form , diagram , Histogram , The pie chart . In a few cases, there will be special composition topics , Such as map composition . The main purpose of a big composition is to write argumentative , academic , Opinion articles . such as ：report,arguemnt Or is it agree or disagree This kind of article （ Opinion class ）

The difficulty of the exam ： To be honest, IELTS writing is very difficult . There are three main reasons ：

One reason is that we don't know how to write the title , The main part of the article doesn't know how to conceive , It's better if we get a topic we are familiar with , It's really difficult to get a sentence or two on an unfamiliar topic .

The second reason is our lack of expression , Mainly reflected in the small composition , Small composition is a part of testing our expression ability .

The third reason is time , The IELTS writing test is actually a little tight , When I was taking the exam, my two compositions were just right 1 I'll finish it in an hour , Many candidates in the same examination room haven't finished writing . In general, the time for a small composition is 20-25 minute , The writing time is 35-40 About minutes

Recommended review materials ： Gu Jiabei teaches you IELTS Writing （ This book does not explain , The most important IELTS writing book , It's the end of buying ）

2.5 Oral part

2.5.1 Exam notes

Examination time ：15 About minutes

Examination content ： Oral English is divided into three parts ,

part 1 It's a simple conversation with the examiner , The dialogue is mainly about some daily topics （ For example, ask whether you are a student or Work 了 , Ask your hometown or something ）,
Part 2 It is based on the topic given to you by the examiner 2 Minutes of speech ,
part 3 The examiner aims at part 2 To carry out extended exchanges and discussions on the basis of , We need to go deeper when answering .

The difficulty of the exam ： To be honest, this part of luck is very important . If we get something we are good at , Prepared topic , That's a good answer , The difficulty of getting some topics you have never seen will suddenly increase by a level , No matter how good your oral English is, you can't think of many things to say , Especially in part 2 There is one minute to prepare for this part , Although there are hints for you on the title , however 1 Minutes is a little hurried .

2.5.2 Recommended information and app

The preparation of IELTS spoken language corpus and topic database are the most important . The three parts of IELTS oral English actually have specific topics , Then we just need to find these topics and answer templates on the Internet to prepare , Then at least we won't suffer so much in the oral examination .

When I was preparing, I used IELTS speaking This app,app It contains many part 1-3 Topics and answer templates for questions , For me, I only prepare for exams 40 It's really good news for people in heaven .

3、 ... and . IELTS test experience

Experienced the whole IELTS preparation The process of , I believe that only understand the following rules and experience , Our IELTS scores will soar ！！

1. You don't need a lot of test preparation materials

I feel that , Buy a sword 4~16 The real title of , Just brush the questions , There is no need to buy other materials for listening and reading . Writing oral English requires buying some books , Choose many , You can also study online .

2. When doing questions, you must control the time （ Watch the time by yourself ）

Reading and writing in IELTS must be timed by yourself , Practice according to the standard exam time . such as ： The IELTS reading test time is 60 minute , Then the time for our simulation practice and usual practice is 60 minute , No more than one minute . We do this to put ourselves in the examination room , If we don't finish the problem within an hour , Then we need to reflect on which part of the question is slow , You can do targeted training ; If we finish it in an hour , Then it depends on the accuracy .

Again , IELTS composition is also a truth . Reasonable IELTS composition allocation of time is small composition 20 minute + Big composition 40 minute , If we spend more than half an hour writing a small composition , Then you need to ask yourself why the speed is slow , Because the expression accumulation is not enough , I still didn't understand the problem , Or do not know where to start writing .

3. IELTS writing is best to find a professional teacher to help you review your composition

And reading , Listening is different , IELTS writing is academic , There are many professional expressions , And the score is subjective , There is no so-called right answer . So many times we don't know whether the composition we write is good or not , How many points can you get , At this time, we need professional teachers to help us review our compositions .

4. IELTS spoken English must keep talking

The most difficult point of IELTS oral English is not that some of our topics are not prepared , But in the process of speaking, I suddenly get stuck , Suddenly my mind went blank , I can't say anything , Then we must not say nothing at this time , The most embarrassing thing about IELTS oral test is to be stunned there , I can't say anything . Anyway , No matter what we say , must do keep talking, Even if our content is compiled, it doesn't matter , IELTS oral test There is no content .

5. IELTS oral English must be simulated

Oral practice of talking to yourself is ineffective , And there is no way to simulate the tense atmosphere during the IELTS oral test . therefore , My advice is ： If you can find a little partner who has the same interests to prepare for IELTS , Then you can practice IELTS oral English together , One side is the examiner , The other side is a candidate , then Role exchange Practising . If we can express our ideas fluently in front of others , Then I believe I can do it in the examination room ！！！

Okay ！ Today's sharing is here ！ I believe you will know how to review and prepare for IELTS after reading it , Then quickly put yourself into your study ！！！ come on. , cheer up ！
