TOP TIPS FOR IELTS EXAMINATION.Emma explains the strategies to get a high mark in the IELTS listening module. Paying
attention to instructions and being familiar with British English are crucial according to
Emma. She suggests that students should have faith in themselves and practice a lot. Emma
emphasizes on the importance of practice saying that "practice, practice, practice; it really
pays off. So let's get started." Emma suggests that the more students practice listening to
British English, the easier it will be for them to comprehend British speakers.
Also, if a student is accustomed to American English they should learn British vocabulary.
The listening module of the IELTS involves using multiple skills like writing and reading.
Therefore, the more one practices, the more they become familiar with these accents and
perform better in the exam. Emma suggests that practicing is key to success and one should
keep practicing again and again.
Emma identifies the seventh strategy, which is prediction. This is very important in the
IELTS. At the end of each section, students have some time to review their answers and to
anticipate the upcoming questions.
To improve your listening skills for IELTS, you need to practice listening and writing
simultaneously. Be mindful of any changes in the IELTS format. Practice listening to
sequences of numbers and taking notes quickly while listening to BBC broadcasts. To
prevent mistakes, make sure you can easily follow numbers in order. Your handwriting must
be legible. If the examiner cannot read what you wrote, you will not receive marks for your
answers. If you have poor handwriting skills, practice writing regularly, starting slowly and
gradually increasing your speed. Test yourself on these tips to see if you have retained them.
Good LUCK!
IELTS & TOEFL - How to give your opinion
Expressions for Giving Your Opinion
According to Emma, the most common way to give your opinion, "I think", is overused by
students. This can result in lower marks as it is considered basic English usage. To improve
your speaking or writing skills and earn higher marks, Emma recommends using the
following expressions:
"In my opinion, . . ."
"As far as I'm concerned, . . ."
"I would argue that . . ."
"I am inclined to believe that . . ."
While the first two expressions still mean "I think", they are not as overused as "I think". "As
far as I'm concerned" means the same thing as "I guess" but with a more formal tone. "I
would argue that" is a high formal way to express your opinion, which is best used in writing.
