Features: The "IELTS Step-by-Step Listening" series consists of 3 volumes, suitable for candidates with scores between 2-5. The first volume features slightly lower difficulty and shorter listening materials, with a slower pace compared to standard IELTS exam questions. In terms of question design, it focuses on specific information retrieval, primarily including multiple-choice, table-filling, short-answer, and true/false questions, which are also among the most frequently appearing question types in the IELTS exam. The second volume includes listening materials with approximately 5,000 vocabulary words, which are relatively longer. This allows candidates to practice sustained listening skills and thus improve their listening abilities. The question types in this volume include both summary-based questions and specific information retrieval questions. The third volume features materials that are very close in difficulty and length to the actual IELTS exam, with approximately 6,000 vocabulary words. The question design in this volume is heavily weighted toward summary-based questions. This series can be used for self-study or as a training textbook.
