What does IELTS mean?

IELTS is the abbreviation of International English Language Testing System, which aims to evaluate the English level of adults, including listening, speaking, reading and writing. IELTS score refers to one of these four tests. For example, if your listening score is 7, your speaking score is 6, your reading score is 8 and your writing score is 7, then your IELTS total score is 28, and your IELTS single score is 7, 6, 8 or 7.

First of all, IELTS scores reflect your English proficiency, which can objectively and truly reflect your English proficiency. Secondly, IELTS scores are of great significance for further English learning and career development. For example, if you want to apply for a university in an English-speaking country, your listening and reading scores are more important, because you are more interested in listening and reading during your college study; If you want to immigrate to an English-speaking country, your oral and writing performance is even more critical, because you need to communicate and write with the local people.

To improve IELTS scores, it is necessary to make a targeted study plan. For listening and speaking, you can listen to English radio, watch English movies or find an English teacher to practice; For reading and writing, you can also read more English news, articles and write more compositions to practice. At the same time, before taking the IELTS test, you can simulate the real test environment to practice, gradually adapt to the test form and improve your coping ability. Of course, good English study habits and developing English thinking are also the key.
