IELTS speaking club_ IESC_ Chia sẻ đam mê tiếng anh

cũng tuỳ tình trạng tâm lý từng người mà hiểu câu đó theo nghĩa nào thôi. Career or Fate thì đều thấy đúng. Bác mod chắc đang có vấn đề về ... nên hiểu theo nghĩa 2
P/S : cái này la mình bắt chước mod mà quote đấy nhé

Fate hả...tớ thì chẳng tin vào destiny tẹo nào...mà cái chủ đề này lần trước đã được discuss trong phần ielts discussion rùi mà...i''m 100% against this..

Ac sao lại bị spam..thế bác president interview hay ai thế a. Tuần này năm mới xuất quân học hành thôi...

Fate với destiny suy cho cùng thì cũng chỉ là kết quả của people''s decision mà thôi. Nếu bạn quyết định ra đường thì định mệnh của bạn là phải...tốn xăng. Nhìn vĩ mô thi cũng chỉ do quyết định của con người tương tác với nhau mà thôi

Tips for all four parts of the IELTS test
LISTENING

1.Read instructions carefully, donâ?Tt just glance at them. They are not always the same as in practise or previous tests.
2.Often the speaker will give you an answer and then correct themselves-watch out for this. Itâ?Ts a common trick.
3.Try and anticipate what the speaker will say. This requires concentration-easy in your own language, but more difficult in English.
4.Remember if you want a high score you should aim to get all questions in parts one and two correct. Donâ?Tt make any careless mistakes in the easier sections.
5.Although there are not that many IELTS books on the market other Cambridge exam preparation materials can provide valuable practise such as FCE and CAE preparation books.
6.Small errors can lead to low score such as spelling, omitting (s) or incomplete times e.g. 1.30.
7.Donâ?Tt panic if you think the topic is too difficult or the speaker is too fast. Relax and tune in.
8.Read, write and listen at the same time. Tricky but practise!!
9.Donâ?Tt leave blanks, you might as well guess you wonâ?Tt be penalised
READING

1.Leave a question if you canâ?Tt answer. To spend a long time on one answer is disastrous. Go back later if you have time and guess if you have too.
2.Donâ?Tt panic if you donâ?Tt know anything about the passage. All the answers are in the passage and you donâ?Tt need any specialist knowledge.
3.Remember you have no extra time to transfer your answers, many candidates think because they have extra time in listening they are able to do this in reading too. You canâ?Tt.
4.Before the exam read as widely as possible e.g. Newspapers, magazines, journals. Donâ?Tt limit yourself to one type of text and read articles with an academic style where possible.
5.Look at ways paragraphs are organised.
6.Try and predict content of paragraph from the opening sentence.
7.Give a paragraph you read an imaginary heading.
8.Donâ?Tt concentrate on words you donâ?Tt know. It is fatal and wastes valuable time.
9.Try and spend a specific period each day reading.
10.Careless mistakes cost many marks. Copy the answer correctly if it is in the passage.
11.Check spelling.
12.Only give one answer if that is all thatâ?Ts needed.
13.Be careful with singular/plural
WRITING

1.Highlight/circle key words.
2.Clearly divide paragraphs.
3.Donâ?Tt repeat ideas in a different way.
4.Stick to the topic.
5.Careful with timing-donâ?Tt rush Task 2, itâ?Ts longer and carries more weight.
6.Paragraph simply with one idea in each paragraph.
7.Avoid informal language.
8.Learn to recognise how long 150 words is in your handwriting. You donâ?Tt really have time to count.
9.Donâ?Tt write too many words particularly for Task One.
10.Get used to always spending several minutes re-reading and correcting your essays.
11.Donâ?Tt memorise model answers, they wonâ?Tt fit the question and you will make more careless mistakes.
SPEAKING

1.It tests your ability to communicate effectively not just your grammatical accuracy.
2.Donâ?Tt learn chunks of answers. The examiner is trained to spot this and will change the question.
3.Develop your answers as much as possible.
4.Speak more than the examiner.
5.Ask for clarification if necessary.
6.Remember it is not a test of knowledge and there is no single answer, but ensure that you give your opinion. Donâ?Tt worry if you feel it is not sophisticated enough.
7.The areas covered are fairly predictable and not infinite so practise at home recording ideas onto a tape recorder.

Em đăng kí thi ngày 7/3 đấy..hix thế là quay cuồng với thi cử rồi...kì này quyết lấy con 7.0 nhẩy ( dù biết rằng đường đời lắm gian truân...) ...
Các bác giúp iem cái topic này, sửa sang giùm với nhá.
Describe your old farm!!! cái này em học thôi, được chuyển thể từ nhiều người rồi. NGhe nói làm thế sẽ học nhanh vào hơn!
We have a 2500 sq. ft 2 story brick farmhouse. Built around 1860? The house was built sometime before the CN tracks ran through... we are only 50 meters from the main line from Windor to Montreal, about 30 minutes west of Kingston.
We just bought the house from my husbands grandmother. The farm has been in the family since 1916 and we have deeds dating back to the 1820''s! We own about 215 acres. There is one main barn that was the milking barn. It burnt in 1971 and was rebuilt, but has the old stone foundation. Many ruined old stone buildings and various wooden sheds and such.
The house needs a lot of work. Pretty much NOTHING has been done in the last 20 years. And any work that was done before was done as cheaply as possible. We have ripped out lath and plaster in one room (was literally crumbling off the walls) and the walls underneath were 12 in maple boards!

Đợt này e xung phong vào đội MC nhé...làm pro như mấy anh chị thì tuyệt vời quá..

ôi ôi hôm nay đông quá. Đông nhất từ lúc mình tham gia club đến giờ. Nhưng mà vui thì vẫn vui vãi

Sao không post luôn lịch của IDP nhỉ? Phân biệt chủng tộc à? mà thi giữa 2 nơi có khác gig nhau không thế?
