, What is IELTS?
IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System. It is a
proficiency test that checks your English language skills. Non-native
speakers, meaning people who are living in a country where English is
not spoken as the primary language or the first language, are required
to take this test. For example, if you want to go to Australia to study or
work, you have to write IELTS to show your proficiency.
The test was created by Cambridge University, and 80% of the English
used in IELTS has a British accent. Therefore, it is recommended to
watch British accent movies to get acquainted with the accent.

easier to read and write on paper than a screen.
