About IELTS
The International English Language Testing System
(IELTS) test exam is taken with pencil and paper, and takes three hours and 45
minutes to complete. It is divided into four sections: Speaking, Reading,
Listening, And Writing.
Listening (30 minutes): You will hear voice
recordings of both monologues and conversations, on different topics and in a
range of accents. These recordings get more difficult as the test goes on. You
will then have time to answer questions on the recordings to demonstrate how
well you have understood them.
Reading (60 minutes): You will be given
three written passages to read (from books, magazines, newspapers and
journals). You will then answer a series of questions testing your
comprehension of each passage.
Writing (60 minutes): This paper consists of
two tasks. First, you will be given data in the form of a chart, graph, diagram
or table and will need to write a 150 word summary demonstrating your ability
to understand the information and describe the main features. In the second
section, you will write a short essay of around 250 words, in response to a
statement or question, demonstrating your ability to construct and articulate a
brief argument.
Speaking (11-14 minutes): You will have a
face-to-face interview with an examiner, during which you will be assessed on
your ability to answer questions, interact with the examiner and talk at length
on a familiar topic.
All candidates take the same listening and
speaking tests, but there are different reading and writing tests for the
Academic and General Training versions. If you are taking the test as part of a
university application, you will need to take the Academic version. You should
inform the administrator of this before the test begins.
My Experience
In this section I would like to share my personal
experiences regarding the IELTS test. However, in this section, I also like to
share the materials which I have found for my test preparation. I hope these
will be helpful for you too.
Speaking Test Preparation
First of all I would like share a video with you
which was helpful for me. This video describes, whether it is the same that to
practice at home and a real test performance. These two should be different.
