I'm taking IELTS or TOEFL, and I'm going to work in the head office in Italy. Besides, I want to improve my spoken English, because my English is poor. Is there any good method to recommend?

It is recommended to take IELTS, which tends to examine the flexibility of candidates, that is to say, subconsciously cultivate your language flexibility and thinking flexibility. Is a very good choice.

As for the landlord who wants to learn spoken English, if it is only for IELTS, you can refer to the following methods:

The first month:

The theme of this month is to lay a solid foundation. The goal of this month is to lay a good foundation and improve the English level enough to cope with the IELTS test.

In the first half of this month, the main things to do are:

1, recite words. Don't recite too much every day, just half a word list. The requirement of memorizing words is not to master all the usages of words, but to know the meaning when you see words. The test method is to recite on the first day, get up early the next day, cover the Chinese meaning of the words of the previous day and read them one by one. If you don't remember, strengthen your memory and review before going to bed. Review it every three days. Repeat it 3-4 times, and basically the words can be memorized. This work should not only be done now, but also run through the whole preparation stage.

2. Practice listening. Listen to VOA Special English for half an hour to an hour every day. At least half an hour, less than this time has no stimulating effect. Let's not talk about the difference between extensive listening and intensive listening. All intensive listening is aimed at the intensive listening of exams. What we exercise is listening itself. The requirement of listening is to try to understand every word on the basis of mastering the general idea of the sentence. IELTS listening often takes detailed questions, so it is important to hear every word clearly. During this listening time, you should spend 20 minutes to half an hour reading along. Speak sentence by sentence, without stopping, imitate pronunciation and intonation, and correct accent.

3. do grammar. Perhaps this is puzzling, but the importance of grammar to IELTS has been ignored. IELTS reading needs grammar to help you understand, writing needs grammar as the skeleton, and oral English needs grammar to be fluent. For most candidates who have passed CET-4, the grammar foundation is not so solid. It is suggested to buy a grammar book for the first round of senior three, check your grammar level, and pay special attention to grammar, including the use of various clauses. The time of day varies, depending on the content of the grammar book, but you must make sure to check all the grammars every half month.

4. Read this article aloud. The length of the article is subject to the length of the IELTS article. The initial stage can be shorter and last for one week. When you get used to it, it will slowly elongate. But we should choose simpler articles, be more active and have fewer new words. There are many articles in English textbooks that fall into this category.

If you successfully adhere to the above every day, congratulations, you can start to contact the IELTS test in the second half of the month. In the second half of the month, the basic contents of the review include:

1, recite words and practice listening. These two tasks are routine tasks, so I won't say much. But the listening time should be gradually increased to one hour.

2. do grammar. At this stage, the focus of grammar has shifted from a comprehensive review of grammar knowledge to checking for leaks and filling gaps. Open the grammar book, find the grammar points, and make sentences with the grammatical phenomena you see. If the sentence is fluent and you can explain the meaning of the sentence clearly, then this grammatical point will be mastered. On the contrary, you need to review it again.

3. Start the "contact preparation" for IELTS preparation, understand the basic questions and requirements of IELTS test, and simulate an exam yourself. Understand the difficulty and difficulty of IELTS test. You can look at the introduction of IELTS in various counseling materials first, and then do a set of simulation questions a week.

Read a long article every day. The length of the article refers to the length of the IELTS reading article. Read it aloud. At this stage, the difficulty of the article will increase. You can refer to newspaper articles such as China Daily, and the new words should be recorded and digested in time. At this stage, pay attention to the speed of reading the article. It is suggested to browse the article first, find the new words, and then start reading after recording.

The second month

This month's theme is: Turn to IELTS. After a month of basic practice, it can be said that it has been greatly improved. Next, we should face our goal-IELTS. In the first half of this month, we must do:

1, routine tasks, memorizing words and listening to long articles.

2. Conduct targeted IELTS special training, and train one subject every day, including error correction and summary, for about 3 hours. For listening, try to understand what you don't understand repeatedly without reading the listening draft. For reading, focus on training the skills of information positioning, and pay attention to the difference between no (false) and no giving in judging questions. This needs to be understood slowly. It is not enough to rely on a few questions. You should try to understand it again and again. For oral English and writing, we should start to accumulate vocabulary and sentence patterns consciously. Practice 2-3 topics every day in the oral part, and write down what you say to see how to make it more exciting and repeated. Find a suitable person to help revise the composition. Four days later, I will train for subjects that I feel weak.

Conduct a set of exercises every week, which can be put on the last day of this half month. It is suggested to start training from real questions at this time, not simulation questions. Practice should be strictly in accordance with the examination time, starting at 9 am and ending in 2.5 hours. Pay attention to control the completion time of each part.

4. Pay attention to accumulating vocabulary in practice, especially in reading practice, and record all new words and digest them.

Time enters the second half of the month. Compared with the first half of the month, the plan for this period is basically the same, except for the following changes:

1. Change the listening materials for one hour every day to BBC. This transition will be painful, but it is very important for the high score of IELTS listening. Keep imitating and read the same.

2. Change the reading materials from China Daily to more local and original Reuters and new york Times News; You can also choose a magazine like The Economist. These resources are easy to find on the Internet.

The third month

The theme of this month is the final sprint. After two months of dark review, we gradually saw that the IELTS test was just ahead. There is still one month left, so we can't relax. We should continue to work hard to keep our good condition to the end.

At this stage, we must switch to the pretest mode. Details are as follows:

1, stop listening practice, recite words, and practice reading 1 hour.

2, special training and set training cooperate with each other, the next day. For example, watching a topic on Monday and giving a topic on Tuesday; And so on. It should be noted that the special training at this stage mainly focuses on the weakest events, and even all of them can be arranged as the weakest events. Set of questions training still strictly follows the examination time.

3. In the last week, resume 1 hour listening practice. At the same time, I recall the words I have recited before, but I can't recognize them at a glance.

4. On the last day, stop all training. And don't think about anything about the exam. If you feel nervous, you can take out an English newspaper to read or listen to English songs.

Finally, let's go to the examination room with confidence!

However, if you want to learn business English knowledge other than IELTS, you can choose books in related fields, and the materials can also be studied according to the above process. It is best to have a professional to practice with you, which can help you correct many mistakes and make you progress faster. That's what I used to do. ENTER asked the teacher to help me train, customize the appropriate courses, and practice the dialogue constantly. You really need to practice your spoken English more. Never fish for three days and dry the net for two days.

Finally, I hope the landlord can get good grades in the exam. Let's go

It's not easy to handle by hand. Please adopt it.
