Features: The first books in the "IELTS Exam with IELTS Examiners" series are "Practice Writing with IELTS Examiners" and "Practice Speaking with IELTS Examiners." Among the four sections of the IELTS exam—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—listening and reading are objective tests with standard answers and clear right or wrong distinctions. In contrast, speaking and writing are non-objective tests. Although detailed descriptions of scoring criteria are provided, the application of these criteria and the determination of scores depend on the examiners. For an IELTS essay or a candidate's performance in the speaking test, how will the examiner judge, what are the key focus points, and what are the reasons for adding or deducting points? What are the common mistakes made by Chinese candidates in the IELTS speaking and writing tests, what problems do these mistakes reflect, and what kind of training is needed to overcome them? All these questions will be answered in "Practice Speaking with IELTS Examiners" and "Practice Writing with IELTS Examiners."
