Features: "IELTS Step-by-Step Listening" consists of 3 volumes, suitable for candidates with scores ranging from 2 to 5. The first volume features slightly lower difficulty listening materials that are also shorter, with a slower pace compared to standard IELTS exam questions. In terms of question design, it focuses more on specific information retrieval, primarily including multiple-choice, table-filling, short-answer, and true/false questions, which are also high-frequency question types in the IELTS exam. The second volume includes listening materials with a vocabulary range of around 5,000 words, which are relatively longer, allowing candidates to practice sustained listening and thereby improve their listening skills. 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 a listening vocabulary of about 6,000 words. The question design in this volume has a higher proportion of summary-based questions. This set of books can be used for self-study or as a training textbook.
