Write a short introduction, beginning with a general comment or 'hook' to catch the examiner's interest. Then state the topic and give your opinion if asked to do so.
Tip 5 - Writing Task 2
Think how the question can help you to plan your answer. Brainstorm ideas, then make a short outline or plan. Write a short introduction and give each main paragraph one main idea.
Tip 4 - Writing Task
Make sure to analyse the chart carefully. The various sections of a Pie Chart always add up to 100 percent.
Tip 3 - Listening
In your free time listen to people speak English, who are of different nationalities. This will help prepare you for the IELTS test.
Tip 2 - Reading
Answer each question as accurately and as quickly as possible. If a question proves to be too difficult, leave it and come back to it later.
Tip 1 - Speaking
During the speaking part of the IELTS test, look at the examiner and project your voice.
Speak clearly and try to give extended answers.
For example: Examiner: What did you do last weekend?
Student : I went shopping.
This is not a very good answer.
The example below is much better.
Examiner: What did you do last weekend?
Student : Last weekend I went shopping for clothes with my
best friend.
We both bought some jeans and I also purchased
a pair of black gloves.
