Buyer: abdulqahar abdulraheem (muftizaman@gmail.com)Transaction ID: 5BM41191EU3716027IELTS Academic Module – How to Maximize Your ScoreWhat this book is aboutThis guide is here to teach you the IELTS test, not the English language. Why?Even if English is your first language, you can forget about getting a good score in IELTS, unless youare prepared for it. Three main problems will get in your way: time, tricks and logical traps.When it comes to IELTS, time is your worst enemy. You need to do things fast. Of course you wouldget all the answers right if you had the time. But the reality is that there are a lot of questions to beanswered, a lot of writing to be done, and very little time to do it.This guide teaches you HOW TO: Listen, hear the right answers and write them down FAST Scan through the text and deal with all kinds of questions FAST Get your essay written FAST Build a speech in your head on any topic FAST Know and avoid the traps when you see themThis book might not make your English perfect, but it will certainly help you to get in shape and getyour target Band Score!Attitude tipsIn my opinion (which was validated by the IELTS scores of the people I trained) you don't need morethan 4 weeks of daily training. Set aside 3 hours that you devote to practice for IELTS - and it will getyou the desired result.I believe that if you can read and understand this e-book, your English is good enough. Just stick to theguidelines of this book and they will help you get the best IELTS score you can with your current levelof English. You can even give yourself a day off once a week, and still be able to ace the IELTS!To receive free IELTS advice and updates to your email go to http://www.ielts-blog.com and subscribe.You will be pleasantly surprised by the amount of useful information and friendly support you willreceive.How to use this bookThe way this manual has been put together makes it possible for you to read the main chapters(Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking tips) in any order you like - each is completely independent ofthe other. You don't have to follow the order in which the book is written.If you don't have much time, I suggest reading this book and doing only the exercises that are includedin it, no extra work. This is not the ideal way though. In case you do have the time, I highly recommendthat you read and pay attention to all the tips in this manual and then try to use them when you practicereal IELTS tests. There are links to IELTS materials at the end of every main chapter and a detailedstudy plan at the end of the book.At the end of the book there are Pocket tips - short summaries of the most important hints in each of thechapters - Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking. Every time you practice, read them before you starta test - they will refresh your memory and focus you on what's really important. Enjoy!Page 5 Simone Braverman – All Rights Reserved www.IELTS-Blog.com
Buyer: abdulqahar abdulraheem (muftizaman@gmail.com)Transaction ID: 5BM41191EU3716027IELTS Academic Module – How to Maximize Your ScoreThe IELTS RoutineThe IELTS test consists of four parts: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.Listening takes about 40 minutes - 30 minutes to listen to a recording and to answer questions onwhat you hear, and 10 minutes to transfer your answers to the Answer Sheet.Reading takes 1 hour and your task is to read passages of text and to answer questions according towhat you have read. There are also other types of assignment which I will cover later on.Writing also takes 1 hour and is divided into 2 sub-parts: 20 minutes to write a report and 40minutes to write an essay.Speaking takes up to 15 minutes and consists of 3 parts: a Personal Interview, a Short Speech and aDiscussion.All the parts continue one after another, and only before the Speaking do you get a little break. Insome cases the Speaking section is held on a different day.The Listening test at a glanceThe Listening test consists of 4 sections. There are 40 questions in total. You need to answer all thequestions as you listen to the recording. The recording is not paused at any time and you hear it onlyonce. The questions get more difficult as you progress through the test.Are you scared yet? Don't be! There is a technique to get you through it. Just make sure that youranswers are readable and easy to understand when you copy them to the Answer Sheet. You maywrite in pencil only.The Reading test at a glanceThe Reading test consists of 3 text passages and has 40 questions in total. Your job is to read thepassages and either answer questions, label diagrams, complete sentences or fill gaps. For every typeof task there are instructions and an example. Passages are taken from books, newspapers,magazines and the topics are very diverse, from scuba diving to space exploration. Passages progressin difficulty, with the first being the easiest and the third the hardest.The good news is that you don't really have to read the whole passage, thanks to techniques that Iwill refer to later. The not so good news is that there is no additional time to copy your answers tothe Answer Sheet and you need to squeeze it into the 60 minutes that you have. Please, don't forgetto do this - I witnessed someone who did forget, and it was not a pretty sight. The poor guy wascrying, he received a score of '0' for the whole Reading test. Here too you may write in pencil only,no pens are allowed.Page 6 Simone Braverman – All Rights Reserved www.IELTS-Blog.com
Buyer: abdulqahar abdulraheem (muftizaman@gmail.com)Transaction ID: 5BM41191EU3716027IELTS Academic Module – How to Maximize Your ScoreThe Writing test at a glanceThe Writing test has 2 sub-tasks. The first one is to write a report based on a graph, a diagram or atable you receive, using about 150 words. The second task is to write an essay on a given topic,present and justify an opinion or give a solution to a problem, using no fewer than 250 words.Nothing to worry about here! Once you start using a certain structure which I'll explain later on forthe report and the essay, in addition to your imagination, it is a piece of cake. This task requires a bitof training, but after you have written a few essays and reports you will be well-prepared for the testand you will feel confident.The Speaking test at a glanceThis is the fun part of the test, for many reasons. You get to rest before it. You are a little tired fromthe previous 3 parts and therefore more relaxed. The examiners are trained to smile no matter what,so you feel as if you are speaking to your best friend.The first sub-part of the Speaking test is an interview, which means that the examiner asks youquestions about yourself, your work, studies, parents, brothers/sisters, pets, etc. This is an easy taskto prepare for.In the second sub-part of the Speaking test you receive a card with 3-4 questions. After one minute,during which you have to think about something to say, you should give a short speech for one totwo minutes, which answers those questions. At the end the examiner might ask you a couple ofadditional questions.In the third sub-part of the test you have a discussion with the examiner. The topic is somehowrelated to the one from section two, but it is about more abstract ideas. You have to express andjustify your opinions.The examiner will record your session. Don't worry about it; the recording is to test the examinerand not you.Page 7 Simone Braverman – All Rights Reserved www.IELTS-Blog.com
Buyer: abdulqahar abdulraheem (muftizaman@gmail.com)Transaction ID: 5BM41191EU3716027IELTS Academic Module – How to Maximize Your ScoreTips for the Listening TestIn generalThe Listening Test is probably the one people get most scared of. To help yourself overcome thatfear, start watching TV programs in English. These are better than radio or audio books, because youalso see images that help you understand the words you hear.Listening - a skill, not a gift!From my experience, in many cases listening is the least developed skill. So if you feel especiallyweak in that area, pay attention to the following tips, as they will help you improve your Listeningability. Remember - nobody is born with it, it's just a skill and you learn it. If you think yourlistening needs no improvements - skip the "Teach yourself the words" part, move forward to thetips which follow that part.Teach yourself the wordsThe only way to improve your Listening ability
