The Golden rule is “Always give the monkey exactly what he wants”. If the monkey asks for a banana, you must give him a banana and not an apple. This is a great rule to follow, it’s simple and direct. Yet failure to follow this rule is one of the main reasons why candidates do not score as well as they thought they should.

Before
we begin – to our students
Unfortunately
there’s no magic formula to help you improve your level of
English. The only way to improve is to PRACTICE
PRACTICE PRACTICE.
You need a good IELTS teacher in order to understand exactly what
is required of you in the IELTS test and what to expect in each of
the 4 parts AND in addition to the regular classes you have to
have a clear study plan for your daily IELTS practice. Most of
your study for the IELTS test is outside class.
This
is a study schedule chart as a guide to the planning and
organisation of study time:
Now
this advice is more important than ever if you want to get 6.5 or
more in your IELTS exam.
Getting
this result means you can study at university or live/work in
another country.
Not
getting this result means you can’t.
|
However,
you do need to have a good IELTS teacher English and good practice
material. You need to understand where to find help, and how to use
it. 'YasiOnline' is your key to success.
Before
you start the
most important rule is:
‘Little
and often.’
Doing
a little practice everyday is far more beneficial than 2 hours once a
week. You only need to spend 15 minutes every day to help you
improve. If you have time, spend 30 minutes.
But,
you must decide how much time you can spend EVERY DAY. And then STUDY
AT THE SAME TIME EVERY DAY and make it part of your routine.
For
example, you can study for 15 minutes:
- After breakfast before you leave the house
- On the bus to school / work
- During your lunch break
- On the bus home
- Make it the first job you do when you get home
- After dinner
- Instead of sitting in front of the TV
- Before you go to bed
Why
is this routine more beneficial?
Because
when you study for a short time every day:
you
remember things more easily because you are reminded every day
you
don’t get bored
you
don’t daydream so you achieve more during your study time
little
successes are motivating so you feel like you are improving
However,
ONLY doing IELTS practice tests WILL
NOT improve your level
or your overall IELTS score.
You
need to focus on the different skills in English in order to improve
your level. That means improving:
Reading
Listening
Writing
Speaking
Grammar
Vocabulary
If
you think you have more problems with one of these skills than the
others then you need to focus on that skill. For example, if reading
is the most difficult part of the exam for you, then spend most of
your time trying to improve that skill.
And
remember, you need time to improve. With daily practice of one skill
you can improve your level over 1 month. If you need to improve your
level in more than one skill, you might need 6 months.
So
let’s get started.
Listening
Develop
‘listening
strategies’ in
order to listen more
proficiently in English.
Think
about how you listen to the news on the radio in your own
language.
The
answer is NO.
Generally
you listen to the radio while you are doing something else, like
driving. So you are not concentrating on every word they say, but
your ears can hear the sound.
When
you hear words connected to a news story that you want to know
about, you concentrate on listening to the radio.
But
you still don’t listen to individual words. You normally listen
to phrases. Because you know how your language is constructed you
can often hear the beginning of a phrase and guess the ending.
(Think about a bad telephone connection. Imagine every 4th
word
is missing because the signal is weak. You can probably still
understand the conversation because your brain automatically
‘fills in’ the missing word from its memory bank of phrases)
So,
when you listen to the news on the radio you are only half
listening because your brain does all the work of predicting and
filling in gaps. And if you don’t know the meaning of a word you
don’t care because it doesn’t affect your understanding.
|
This
kind of listening behaviour is very difficult to transfer into
English listening because your knowledge of phrases and grammar
structure is more limited. However, you have learnt grammar and
vocabulary phrases so you can sometimes guess what words will follow.
Tip
1
When
listening to something in English the best idea is not to focus on
every word because this becomes very tiring. You also get bored and
then your brain ‘turns off’, so you actually miss the most
important information. You should focus
on the words that you understand.
This will hopefully help you in understanding the main idea. And
don’t panic when you hear unknown words.
The
good news in the exam is that you have time read the questions before
you listen. This gives you time to think about the topic you might be
listening to, and to use your knowledge of English to help you guess
the answer.
The
topic –
using the information in the questions you can think about all the
words you know related to the topic. These words will probably be
verbs and nouns.
Guess
the answer –
for ‘gap fill’ type questions you’ll need to think about the
grammar of your answer. Does the ‘gap’ require a noun, adjective,
verb etc? For other types of questions are you listening for a name,
number, place, time etc?
Tip
2
To
generally improve your listening ability you need to listen
to the radio and watch TV.
If
you’re living in an English speaking country you have lots of
choice. You can also secretly listen to people speaking on the bus,
in the street etc. And you will obviously listen as you go about your
normal life doing activities such as ordering takeaway food on the
telephone, buying tickets for the bus etc.
If
you don’t live in an English speaking country then you have less
choice. First of all check out your channels on digital or cable TV.
Normally you can find news channels in English, such as BBC World
News and CNN, as well as other channels showing English language
programs. You can also watch your favourite series or a film in
English, but make sure you turn off or cover the subtitles (reading
subtitles won’t improve your listening!)
Tip

There
are sites
on the internet where
you can listen
to news:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/video
_and_audio/default.stm This
website has short news video clips from the BBC. The benefit of
recorded video is that you can listen to it several times, and this
allows you to note down some interesting and useful new vocabulary.
Here
are sites
where
you can listen
and answer questions:
Some
students have told me of a technique they have found really useful.
When they listen to something in English at home (the news, the class
CD etc.) they listen again and again, and they try to write down
every word they hear. Over time they say it has really helped them to
improve. It’s not something I’ve tried, but if students tell me
it works, then I’m happy to share the idea with you.
Tip
4
If
you’re studying in an English class (or have done recently) or are
taking an IELTS class, go back over your notes. Go back over the
listening activities from class. You can listen to the CD several
times to work out why the correct answers are correct, or check the
tape script at the back of the book. Think about which words and
phrases help you to understand this is the correct answer?
And
don’t forget to read through your notebook and your English class
book – you should continue to remind yourself about what you have
learnt. Just like for reading, if you don’t, then you will forget
everything. And that means you have wasted your money and your time.
Tip

The
Australia Network has produced an excellent TV series on IELTS which
you can download from the internet:
There
are 3 series to watch and they cover all aspects of Grammar,
Vocabulary, Listening, Speaking, Writing and Reading for Academic
IELTS.
First
of all look through the topics of the episodes for each series and
decide which programs would be most useful for you. Once you have
chosen the program
you would like to watch you can download worksheets and transcripts
too. I would recommend looking at Series
3 as
a lot of these episodes focus
on listening strategies.
Reading
You
need to develop your ‘reading
strategies’ so that you can read
more proficiently in English. What does that mean? Think
about how you read a newspaper in your own language.
The
answer is NO.
Generally
your eyes move over the page looking at the story headings. When
you find an interesting heading you stop. You look more carefully
at the first sentence of this story.
If
you’re interested your eyes move over the story quickly looking
for the main words that tell you what the story is about.
If
these are uninteresting you give up and move on to another story.
If
these are interesting you slow down and start to read the story.
If
you don’t understand a word it doesn’t matter because you just
want to know what happens in the story.
These
are ‘reading
strategies’.
You need to transfer these strategies that you use for your own
language to English.
|
Tip
1
One
of the most important things you need to do in the IELTS exam is to
use these reading strategies to quickly look at each paragraph in the
text and answer this question:
What
is the main topic of this paragraph?
Maybe
you can underline a few words to answer this question. Or maybe you
can write 1 or 2 words next to the paragraph. Here’s an example:
Turkish
people are renowned for their hospitality. Whatever their financial
status, they welcome, and feed their guests as much as their
resources allow. It may sound unbelievable but in Anatolia it is
acceptable to knock on any door and ask for shelter, and it will be
given, because unknown visitors are considered to be sent by God.
This is, of course, too much to ask of the city dwellers who have
lost trust in others after years of migration and the ensuing urban
unrest. 1
So,
if I was reading the whole article I would underline the words in the
first sentence, OR write notes at the side of the paragraph, eg.
Turkish people hospitality. I would repeat this process for every
paragraph in an article.
This
process should take you about 5-7 minutes for a 750 - 900 word text.
At first you will find it takes you longer, especially as it can be
difficult sometimes to separate the main topic from the supporting
sentences. Unfortunately not every paragraph has the main idea in the
first sentence! So, it is essential that you practice this technique
in order to increase your speed.
Using
this process in the IELTS exam will help you answer the questions
more quickly because you won’t spend time searching the whole text
again.
Tip
2
Another
important technique is to use punctuation and symbols to help you
find information quickly.
Punctuation:
we
always use capital letters for names – John
Smith,
the city of Sydney,
the month of October
etc.
If
you need to find the name of something in a long text then look for
capital letters.
Symbols:
percentages
- %,
a
third – 1/3
etc.
If
you’re looking for ratios or rates of something it’s a good idea
to think about looking for these symbols.
Money
–
£100,
€750,
$55,000
Look
for currency symbols.
Numbers
-
350
You’ll
find all these things more quickly if you move your eyes over the
text instead of reading. And this saves you time in the exam. You can
use the same technique for specific words finding a specific word
such as ‘table’ in a text, or if you need to find words related
to a topic, for example finding different types of fruit such as
‘melon’, ‘apples’ etc.
To
improve your speed at these strategies you need to practice reading
‘real’ English texts and try to find the topic in each paragraph.
Then find names, numbers and symbols. Time yourself.
Tip
3
Where
do you find real
English
texts ?
On
the internet – and they’re all FREE
IELTS
reading texts are taken from newspapers, books, magazines and
journals, and so these are the best places to practice your reading
strategies. Try choosing articles from the following:
It
helps to choose an article with a topic that interests you, but you
should choose from a variety of cultural, environmental, business,
medical, scientific, educational and political themes.
What
subject are you planning to study at university? If you can visit a
library with English language books you can borrow books related to
this subject. You can prepare for your IELTS exam AND for university.
If
you’re emigrating, where are you going and what are you going to
do? Search the internet for this country’s newspapers. You can
prepare for your IELTS exam, read local news stories about your new
home country, find your ideal home AND a job!
Tip
4
If
you’re studying in an English class (or have done recently) or are
taking an IELTS class, go back over your notes. Read through your
notebook and your English class book – you should continue to
remind yourself about what you have learnt. If you don’t, then you
will forget everything. And that means you have wasted your money and
your time.

The
Australia Network has produced an excellent TV series on IELTS which
you can download from the internet:
http://australianetwork.com/studyenglish/se_about.htm
There

chosen the program you would like to watch you can download
worksheets and transcripts too. I would recommend looking at Series
3 as
a lot of these episodes focus
on reading strategies.
Writing
For
the IELTS exam you need to write an essay, and either describe a
graph/process or write a letter, depending on whether you are taking
the Academic or General exam. To understand how to answer these
questions you need training. I suggest you check out a few IELTS
websites to find out how to brainstorm and plan essays, and develop
your vocabulary for describing graphs and writing letters. Here are a
few to get you started:
To
improve your formal writing skills you need to focus on several
areas.
Tip
1
Grammar
If
you have problems with grammar, you
need to work out what your main problems are . How do you do
this? Look back over past writing you have produced. This may be
homework or activities from an English class. When your teacher
marked the writing, what mistakes did you make?
Have
you written reports or emails at work? Is there someone you can ask
to
check
over your writing and highlight your mistakes? This could be an old
English teacher, a fluent English speaking friend or relative, a
friend’s friend, or someone you meet on Facebook.
The
most important thing is to find out where you are making mistakes.
This could be verb tenses, passive structures, prepositions, articles
etc. You should use a good grammar book (eg. Murphy’s Essential
Grammar in Use Intermediate – see if you can borrow a copy from a
friend or a library) or search for these specific topics online. Here
are some useful English grammar websites:
Most
of these websites also have practice pages so you read the rules and
then
test yourself.
The
Australia Network has produced an excellent TV series on IELTS which
you
can download from the internet:
I
would recommend looking at
Series
1 and 2 as a lot of these
episodes focus on grammar and writing
.
First of all look through the topics of the episodes for each series
and decide which programs would be most useful for you. Once you have
chosen the program you would like to watch you can download
worksheets and transcripts too.
When
you do some writing in the future, always check it when you’ve
finished.
It’s
amazing how many points students lose because they don’t check
their writing. We all make basic mistakes when we write so it’s
essential to read through your work when you’ve finished. You
should check those structures which you normally have problems with.
If you know what your problems are you’ll be more careful in the
future.
But
remember, you don’t have to be perfect to get the IELTS score you
want (unless you want 9!). For most students who need 6.5 or 7, you
need to make sure your basic grammar is accurate (tenses,
prepositions, spelling, possessive apostrophes). You also need to use
some complex sentences (see Tip 5 below).
Tip
2
Vocabulary
If
you have problems with vocabulary, you
need to work out what your main problems are. How do you do
this? In the same way with grammar, look back over past writing you
have produced. What mistakes did you make?
There
are various types of vocabulary
mistakes that IELTS students
tend
to make:
1.
Using the wrong grammatical forms
This
means you have chosen the correct word for the topic, but you have
used the noun form instead of the adjective form, or instead of the
verb form.
eg.
verb - decide, noun – decision, adjective – decisive etc.
2.
Using the correct word but in the wrong place in the sentence
Some
words must be used in a specific place in a sentence. This is
especially true for adverbs, but there are lots of other rules too.
eg.
There are still many people who believe that we should do more to
prevent global warming.
The
positioning of the word still depends on whether you use the verb
‘be’
(as
in this sentence) or other verbs (as in the next sentence).
Eg.
These people still believe we should do more.
3.How
a word is used with other words
Some
words can be used together with lots of words, but some words cannot.
eg.
Global warming causes the climate to change and some areas of the
world
suffer
from extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain at unusual times
of the year.
Here
there are a few phrases where certain words go together,
global
warming - not global heating
suffer
from not suffer against
weather
conditions - not weather situations
heavy
rain - not strong rain
In
order to know how to use a word correctly use an English-English
dictionary
for
students, or check online:
An
English-English dictionary will tell you which word you need to use,
how to
use
it correctly and how to spell it. It also gives you a variety of
example
sentences
using the word.
Tip
3
If
you think your vocabulary is too basic and
you need to develop it for the IELTS exam there is lots of advice and
links to useful websites on these web pages:
Again,
the Australia Network TV series on IELTS provides some excellent
programs on IELTS vocabulary.
I
would recommend looking at Series
1 and 2 as a lot of these episodes focus on
vocabulary
. First of all look through the
topics of the episodes for each series and decide which programs
would be most useful for you. Once you have chosen the program you
would like to watch you can download worksheets and transcripts too.
Tip
4
Finally
a word on how to learn and
remember vocabulary. The best way to remember words is to
repeat them. Only by repeating words a sufficient number of times can
your brain actually set up a system to try and remember it when you
need it. (Think about how you try to remember a new phone number –
I often try repeating it until I finally remember it.)
The
best (and most fun) way to repeat words is to write the new word on a
yellow post-it note. Include other important information if you want,
such as form (noun, adjective etc.), pronunciation, translation etc.
And always add an example sentence that includes the word. This
sentence must have some personal significance for you or be related
to your life in some way.
Why?
Because personal information is easier for you to remember and relate
to.
I
would choose about 10 words for 1 week, each with their separate
post-it note. (Be realistic with your learning and memory ability.
Learn 10 words well in 1 week so that you can still remember them 1
month later. If you try to learn more than that you’ll find you
have forgotten them after only a few weeks.)
Stick
post-it notes around the house, for example on the fridge,
bathroom mirror etc. Every time you see the post-it note say the word
and sentence. You could see it 7 times a day, so say the word and the
sentence 7 times a day. Do this every day for 1 week and you have
said the word about 50 times. That’s repetition!
Save
the post-it notes so that after 1 or 2 weeks you can test yourself.
Over a few months you could easily learn
and remember about 150 words that are useful for IELTS.
Brilliant!!
Tip
5
Using
complex structures
Some
students have problems using complex grammar structures in their
writing. They may be too frightened of using these structures because
they aren’t sure how to use them correctly, or they use them but
make mistakes every time.
First
of all, what are complex
structures?
If
you need to get a minimum of 6.5 in the IELTS exam you need to know
and
use
passive structures, relative
clauses and if - clauses/conditional sentences. And you need
to use them accurately most of the time.
As
with the grammar problems mentioned before, you should use a good
grammar book (eg. Murphy’s Essential Grammar in Use Intermediate –
see if you can borrow a copy from a friend or a library) so that you
can practise these structures. Or search these topics online:
If
you need more help on how to use these complex structures in your
writing
for
the IELTS exam you should check the advice and links on these web
pages:
The
Australia Network TV series on IELTS has a lot of help for grammar:
I
would recommend looking at Series
1 and 2 as some of these episodes focus on
grammar
and complex structures.
First
of all look through the topics of the episodes for each series and
decide which programs would be most useful for you. Once you have
chosen the program you would like to watch you can download
worksheets and transcripts too.
Speaking
If
you have problems with fluency
then
you can’t speak naturally and confidently, and you always stop and
start because you can’t find the right word. In order to improve
your fluency you need to speak more.
Tip
1
In
an English speaking country there are more people to practice with,
but it can be a little frightening. You need to find someone who is
happy to listen and speak to you. Often you can find another student
in your class, but make sure they are from a different country so you
have to speak English together.
Or
maybe you are living with a host family. Their job is to look after
you and provide you with opportunities to speak at home. Your job is
to think about subjects you want to talk about and then start a
conversation with them. Please don’t expect them to work hard
trying to make you speak – you
need to think about topics if
you want them to speak to you. Make sure you are prepared to talk
about different subjects – you need to be able to give opinions and
explain why you have these opinions. But be careful! Remember your
host family is from a different culture and may have different
opinions. Choose topics that won’t cause problems if you have very
different opinions.
If
you don’t live in an English speaking country it can be more
difficult to find someone to practice with. You can find another
student in your class, but you have to be very strict about not
speaking your own language.
Nowadays
many students are meeting up on Facebook
and
other networking sites, looking for speaking partners, and speaking
for FREE
online
using Skype.
If
you have a Facebook account then search for Splendid
Speaking,
Best
IELTS Online and
My
IELTS Teacher –
they all have Facebook pages. You can post a message on their
‘discussions’ or ‘wall’ page looking for a speaking partner
to practice with for the IELTS exam. You then need to share your
Skype details with each other and organise a time to call.
Again
you need to plan this carefully so you don’t have lots of silence.
Maybe agree a few topics that you can talk about in advance, giving
your opinion, explaining why you have this opinion, and asking for
your partner’s opinion. You could even find some IELTS speaking
exams and test each other! Try these links:
Tip
2
If
you can’t find a partner then speak
to yourself (in
English)! You can talk about:
what
you have done today
what
you’re going to do tomorrow
any
problems you need to solve
any
arguments you’ve had and what you wish you’d said
the
topics and situations are endless
It’s
best to do this privately in your room! However, if you speak
silently in your head, you could do this on the bus on the way home!
To
help you improve you should sometimes record
yourself doing this.
When you listen you can check several things:
how
often do you hesitate or use ‘er...’?
do
you use the same words all the time?
you
could try to use new vocabulary that you have learnt and notice which
words you use
do
you use different tenses to talk about different things?
Again
you could try to include new grammar structures that you have learnt
A
good idea is to record yourself the first time you do this. Then if
you continue to practice this speaking activity every day, record
yourself again 10 days later. And then record yourself again after
another 10 days.
When
you compare the recordings can you hear an improvement? There should
be some change after all this practice. If you’re not happy though,
think about trying to improve your vocabulary and grammar and then
add these words and structures to your speaking.
With
5-10 minutes daily practice your fluency should improve over 1 month.
Tip
3
If
you have problems with accuracy
then
you are making lots of mistakes with your grammar and vocabulary when
you speak. Very often these mistakes occur because you have
misunderstood something and learnt it wrong.
If
you have English lessons you can ask your teacher about the mistakes
they notice with your speaking. If you’re not taking any classes
then you need to ask someone you trust to comment on your accuracy –
this could be an old student, family member or other friend. Or if
you have none of these, then maybe you can ask your Skype partner.
To
try and solve your problems you need to record
your speaking as
mentioned above. However, when you listen to the recording your job
now is to notice
when you make mistakes.
For example, you could listen and focus on your verb tenses. Are you
using the correct tense for each subject you talk about? Or you could
focus on prepositions. Check a good grammar book (eg. Murphy’s
Essential Grammar in Use Intermediate – see if you can borrow a
copy from a friend or a library) or search for specific grammar
topics online:
If
you know what mistakes you normally make you’ll be surprised how
often you make them on the recording. But this tells you that you
need to think and speak more carefully when using these words.
Eventually you can change your mistakes.

The
Australia Network has produced an excellent TV series on IELTS which
you can download from the internet:
http://australianetwork.com/studyenglish/se_about.htm
I
would recommend looking at Series
2 and 3 as
a lot of these episodes focus
on speaking.
First of all look through the topics of the episodes for each series
and decide which programs would be most useful for you. Once you have
chosen the program you would like to watch you can download

In
conclusion – a personal note
So
there is my advice on how to improve the 4 skills you are tested on
in the
IELTS
exam.
Of
course, courses and books are excellent ways to improve your English
but only if you also study every day, for at least 15 minutes, to
improve your level.
Any
course cannot not guarantee results. Working hard does.
And
how long do you need to prepare for the exam?
This
depends on your current level and what score you want. Have a look at
the table below:
Common
European
Framework
(CEF)
|
Cambridge
ESOL

6.5 – 7 |
| C2 | CPE | Advanced | 7.5 |
If
you believe you are currently an
Upper Intermediate student and
you
need 5.5 then you are nearly
ready to take the exam. First of all you
need
to do a practice reading and listening test, you can find some online
at:
Count
how many correct answers you get and then use the IELTS
score calculator on these web pages to find out your
approximate IELTS score.
If
you get less than 5.5 you need to use the advice in this document to
make
some
improvements for 1 or 2 months. In the meantime, you should also
learn from your 'YasiOnline' teacher and use the websites suggested
to work on your speaking and writing, and try a practice test.
Then
take another practice reading and listening test to see if you have
improved.
Once you have reached the right score then you are ready to try
the
exam.
If
you are currently an Upper Intermediate student and you want 6.5,
you need to work on improving your level. This could take 6 months.
After that you can try a practice test and check your reading and
listening scores.
Remember,
if you only do IELTS practice tests you WILL
NOT improve your
level
or your overall IELTS score.
You
need to work on the different skills that are causing you problems.
Once you have improved these skills, then your level will increase.
And then your IELTS result will increase.
One
final word....
Don’t
give up. Don’t get depressed. If you work hard you can achieve. If
you really want to study at university or emigrate, and you need a
specific IELTS result, then your motivation and desire is strong
enough to help you.
Believe
in yourself.
Good
Luck!
