Dont worry UAE. The key to cracking a good score in IELTS is PERSEVERANCE. You just cannot give up. I know many people who scored badly than you, but they just didnt give up. They continued to work hard until they attained their desired results in IELTS. You just keep going. The best wishes of the members of this forum are always with you. Good luck and think positive. Regards, HarryK.
i would appreciate if someone give me some tips in ielts exams.
my schedule for ielts is on nov. 7 in abu dhabi ..and i need to have 7.5 score in listening for the 3 module 6.5 min.
There is only 1 answer. PRACTICE.
Dont loose heart and you need lot of determintion.
SO, if you would then take the exam at a later time, If you have already did all that then you probably are too late to postpone. I believe you are not in hurry send app right away.
here is something you can try for Listening in IELTs:
Watch all Harry Potter movies and try to capture all the details in all conversations. Do the marathon and you'll see the effect.
IELTS listening has more Brit accent into it.
slavasz,
Could you please update the possible link of BBC radio where we can brush up english listening as I am in the same dilemna of this IELTS score.
For speaking and writing: these two are somehow related on how you express yourself.
If you can't afford a training center, you can try wiriting reaction papers or delivering a small speech about articles in a newspaper.
Consciously correct yourself as you do this. Or, ask someone who is better than you to correct you.
To get a success, all you need to do is to practice listening,speaking,reading,writing
for reading - start reading english newspapers,books,articles etc.
for writing - choose any topic of your own and start writing about that topic which you chose.If you will not able to think the topic, then search any topic on internet and start writing.Please note start improving ur vocabulary.Buy pocket dictionary and put it in ur pocket always.Whenever u will get free time just take it out and learn some words.
for listening - start listening news channel like bbc, watching movies.
for speaking - start talking in english with any human and remember one thing dont hesitate to speak if u will do mistake ,no problem.Try again.U will get success.
once i even could not make a single sentence utter a single word (english).
but practice made me such fluent that i even now write article in english news papers.
4 points each in every module to score 16 points is quite difficult, needs years of preparations and practise and even then it cant be sure, you should make efforts to secure more points in other fields, best of luck
