  1. WHAT MUST I LEARN/REVIEW BEFORE THE ENGLISH EXAM ?

  2. General tips to Study English • Typing a Short Paragraph in English. • Read English newspaper. • Listen to English songs and try understand what they say. • Don’t be afraid to make mistakes be confident. • Put yourself in an all English speaking environment.

  3. Practice the 4 core skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening. • Keep a notebook of new words you learn. • Make sure that you take the time to review things you have studied in the past. • It’s not a good idea to study on your own for more than 30 minutes at a time. Take regular breaks, get some fresh air and stretch your legs.

  4. Watch DVDs rather than TV. It’s better to use something that you can watch over again to catch information you might have missed the first time. • Read graded readers. • Use English whenever you can. • Don’t translate into English from your own language. Think in English to improve your fluency.

  5. You can’t learn English from a book. Like driving a car, you can only learn through doing it. • A way to learn grammar is through talking. • Use an English/English dictionary to learn new words. • If you get nervous when speaking, take two deep breaths before you say something. You’ll speak better when you feel relaxed.

  6. Make the effort to mix with English speakers in your town. • Debate discuss topics in a group. • Learn English with a friend. You’ll have someone you can practice with and you can motivate each other to study. • Find a comfortable, peaceful place for quiet study. You need somewhere where you can focus 100%.

  7. The easiest one - Sleep! You’ll learn more after a good night’s sleep.

  8. Ways to improve your IELTS Listening • Buy an electronic dictionary that speaks. • Learn homonyms. • Practice short forms. • Record your own voice. • Brainstorm more words. • Write down just the most important words.

  9. Buy a photography book. • Learn the most common verbs.

  10. READING • Leave a question if you can't answer. • All the answers are in the passage and you don't need any specialist knowledge. • Remember you have no extra time to transfer your answers. • Before the exam, read as widely as possible (e.g. newspapers, magazines, journals). Don't limit yourself to one type of text and read articles with an academic style where possible.

  11. Try and predict content of paragraphs from the opening sentence. • Give every paragraph you read an imaginary heading. • Don't concentrate on words you don't know. It wastes valuable time. • Careless mistakes cost many marks. Copy the answer correctly if it is in the passage.

  12. Check spelling. • Only give one answer if that is all that's needed. • Be careful with singular/plural.

  13. WRITING • Highlight/circle key words. • Clearly divide paragraphs. • Don't repeat ideas in a different way. • Stick to the topic. • Careful with timing - don't rush Task Two, it's longer and is worth more points.

  14. Don't memorizes model answers, they won't fit the question and you will make more careless mistakes. • Paragraph simply, with one idea in each paragraph. • Avoid informal language. • Learn to recognize how long 150 words looks in your handwriting. You don't really have time to count. • Get used to always spending several minutes re-reading and correcting your essays.

  15. SPEAKING • Speak more than the examiner. • It tests your ability to communicate effectively, not just your grammatical accuracy. • Don't learn scripts of prepared answers. The examiner is trained to spot this and will change the question. • Develop your answers as much as possible.

  16. Ask for clarification if necessary. • Remember it is not a test of knowledge and there is no single answer, but ensure that you give your opinion.
