How to prepare for IELTS?

First of all, you need to know your current level: generally speaking, immigrants need students to reach at least CET-4, while academic IELTS should reach CET-6 (even if it is only 60 points). If you don't know anything about IELTS, or your English level is below CET-4 and your vocabulary is less than 3000, you'd better make some preliminary preparations now.

The work at this stage is: immediately start reciting IELTS words and get familiar with the questions. IELTS requires far less words than TOEFL and GRE, but it requires more familiarity with each word, that is, IELTS requires candidates to master a positive vocabulary.

Before studying, recite some IELTS vocabulary, such as: reciting IELTS vocabulary, Hu Min reading stories-IELTS vocabulary, how to prepare for IELTS vocabulary, mastering IELTS-core vocabulary in 80 days, expanding vocabulary reading in IELTS test, and laying a good foundation for IELTS vocabulary shorthand.

China students' reading ability is relatively strong, but their listening and speaking ability is weak. Students can evaluate themselves. If the error rate in the listening and speaking simulation test reaches 70% (which is the average error rate of domestic students), you need to plan to allocate 2/3 of the training time to listening and speaking.

Generally speaking, IELTS speaking, listening, reading and composition should go hand in hand, and training and study should be carried out at the same time to ensure that each course can be listened to 1 hour a week without any negligence.

The advice given here is that there are only about 4-5 hours a week, but there is a lot of work before and after class, and we need to keep memorizing words, listening, speaking and reading.

If you attend the training class, first of all, you should know what this course will talk about in the supporting teaching materials and course preview column. After finding the information, you should do the problem carefully twice. After full consideration, it will be much better to listen to the teacher's explanation, so as to learn all the essence of the teacher. Use class notes to write down the teacher's important problem-solving methods, and don't miss anything valuable. Classroom notes are not only beneficial to the review after each class, but also very effective for the general review before the exam. After listening to each class, you must review carefully and digest what the teacher said. This process includes memorizing what you said and training related real questions. At the same time, we should get ready for the next class.

After listening to all the courses for the last time, review the most important content according to the class notes, mark the key and difficult points, and help to check the leaks and fill the gaps. You will do a lot of questions in the future, and it is very helpful for you to know the latest exam trends.

The training questions in the supporting teaching materials of the training class should be done at least three times from beginning to end, and the number of listening training questions should be memorized. The content of the whole class is like laying the foundation. As the saying goes, "the master leads the door, and the practice is in the individual". Finally, sprint, do the problem and get the latest information, which is how you integrate what the teacher said.
