Features: The "IELTS Step-by-Step Listening" series consists of 3 volumes and is suitable for candidates with scores ranging from 2 to 5. The first volume features slightly lower difficulty listening materials that are relatively short and have a slower pace compared to standard IELTS exam questions. In terms of question design, it leans toward specific information retrieval, primarily including multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, 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, allowing candidates to practice sustained listening and thereby improve their listening skills. The question types in this volume cover both summary-based questions and specific information retrieval questions. The third volume features listening materials that are very close to the actual IELTS exam in terms of difficulty and length, with approximately 6,000 vocabulary words. The question design in this volume has a higher proportion of summary-based questions. This series can be used for self-study or as a training textbook.
