Experts From The British Council On IELTS For Donghua Raffles Students

IELTS is an internationally renowned English test, designed and developed by the University of Cambridge examination committee, which has 95 years of experience and rich experience in English testing. It is jointly organized by the British Council, University of Cambridge examination committee and the IDP education group three. It has been recognized by more than 6000 institutions and most excellent universities in the world. Its first step is to make a comprehensive assessment of English proficiency from four aspects: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

At the Stephen Graham, a senior trainer of the British Council, came to our IELTS lecture. He stressed the importance of English discipline and told students to achieve the IELTS 6 points. They must listen, speak, read and write four skills. At the same time, they also taught many practical learning methods to everyone. For example, he encourages students to read more authentic English content on weekdays, to accumulate their own vocabulary in reading, to use a dictionary, learn to translate English words in English, to see more English movies, radio and TV channels, and to use their ears to get used to the English environment. Besides, it is better to develop the habit of writing English diaries, apply some of the words they learn, and regularly review their diary contents, because writing can transform the knowledge you learn into the language tool you can really use. He also hoped that students could speak English as much as possible in their daily lives. They should not be nervous or worried about being laughed at. They should not be afraid of making mistakes in the process of communication. As long as we practice more and read aloud, we will be fluent and fluent in the future. Finally, he showed the students the most common mistakes and told how to avoid similar mistakes.

Because IELTS is not a subject, it is a globally recognized examination system used to assess the English communication ability of candidates. Therefore, Stephen does not encourage students to attend the preparatory courses offered by various training institutions. He thinks it is just a waste of time and money, but he advises students to take an active part in the IELTS course taught by their own teachers, and take every opportunity to learn English instead of making English a stumbling block on the road to success.
