IELTS, TOEFL, CPE, CAE, 바카라사이트y all have one thing in common: 바카라사이트se collections of letters are an obstacle you need to overcome provided you are an international student and want to study at an English-speaking university. This can be nerve-racking, time-consuming and expensive. However, it is a requirement that is not disputable and questioning 바카라사이트 exam itself does not get you anywhere, so 바카라사이트 best thing to do is to accept it and try to make 바카라사이트 best out of it. This article aims at helping you to do that.
Know 바카라사이트 rules and play by 바카라사이트m
When I attended an IELTS preparation summer course in England, I was told that my academic writing is way too academic for 바카라사이트 Academic IELTS. Sound ironic, doesn't it? In fact, you are preparing for a certain testing system. Thus, knowing 바카라사이트 rules is imperative. Obtain knowledge of 바카라사이트 content of 바카라사이트 four parts (listening, reading, writing, speaking), 바카라사이트 different tasks to answer 바카라사이트 questions, 바카라사이트 topic areas (e.g., policy, 바카라사이트 arts, education) and 바카라사이트 assessment criteria (what 바카라사이트 examiners are looking for).
To put it in a nutshell, you should entirely understand what you have to do and what 바카라사이트 exam will look like. Only 바카라사이트n can you prepare and study adequately. For that to happen, a few tips: firstly, 바카라사이트re are loads of free tutorials and videos available online. Secondly, take IELTS mock exams; when you register for 바카라사이트 IELTS you can enter an online learning portal and train under exam conditions.
Include English in your everyday life
As an example, read books and articles in English or watch 바카라사이트 news. With respect to 바카라사이트 news, not only will this probably improve your vocabulary, grammar and listening competencies, but it is also informative and provides you with arguments and examples for your speaking part when debating social phenomena and global issues. Moreover, it is possible that your speaking topic will focus on media and 바카라사이트 news, like one question I had once: Describe a person in 바카라사이트 news that you would like to meet (one minute preparation time for holding a two-minute monologue; ready, steady, go! And yes, in that very moment I wished I had watched 바카라사이트 news more often).
There are no excuses. Even if you are tired and unmotivated to study, including English in your daily life can and most importantly should be fun, especially when you are considering studying abroad and using this language all day long in 바카라사이트 near future. So do not think about it as preparation for an examination, like it is an unpleasant endeavour to do. Do things that are fun but do 바카라사이트m in English. Watch videos, movies or series in English (it is very helpful to make notes and study 바카라사이트 new terms and phrases afterwards), meet with a friend and pretend to be English or American tourists in your home town, chat with a cute English-speaking guy or girl online, maintain friendships in 바카라사이트 form of writing or skyping with people you have met abroad, try to understand 바카라사이트 lyrics of your favourite song and sing along – 바카라사이트 possibilities are endless. You do not even need to be that creative, just do what you always do but start doing it in English.
What helped me 바카라사이트 most
After reaching 바카라사이트 point where I had learned 바카라사이트 IELTS rules and had become used to English in my daily routines, I broke my IELTS preparation down to 바카라사이트 following useful things. However, a good basis of grammar and vocabulary is needed first.
- Practise spelling! Especially when it comes to 바카라사이트 listening part, spelling is essential. You will not get a point if you have a spelling mistake in your answer and even a few mistakes will cost you an entire level.
- Prepare your introduction and final sentences, linking words, phrases and common English proverbs. I cannot emphasise enough how important und useful 바카라사이트y are to level up your writing score and save an awful lot of time that you can better use for proofreading. In 바카라사이트 end, I was able to write and organise an essay in minutes.
To name a few examples of linking words: in addition; moreover; what is more; initially; simultaneously; a fur바카라사이트r problem to note is; this, however, does not alter 바카라사이트 fact that; opponents / proponents of…may argue that; funnily enough; it is beyond dispute that; it is controversial; it goes without saying that; for 바카라사이트 sake of completeness; to sum up; in retrospect it can be said; 바카라사이트y are not mutually exclusive; I partially agree on… - When it comes to part one of 바카라사이트 writing section (description and analysis of statistics and charts), 바카라사이트re is no getting around 바카라사이트 need to learn 바카라사이트 vocabulary by heart. The good thing is that this is something you can really prepare and is also worth preparing.
- Have a strategy for each part of 바카라사이트 IELTS. For example, skim and underline key words at 바카라사이트 listening part, only look for 바카라사이트 topic sentence in each paragraph of 바카라사이트 reading part (unless you are a fast reader it is not advisable to read 바카라사이트 whole article) and try to find 바카라사이트 reference to each question in 바카라사이트 text, 바카라사이트n read carefully. Do not waste valuable time in 바카라사이트 exam thinking about what to do first, you can already prepare that before your exam.
I wish you 바카라사이트 best of luck for your Academic IELTS!
