Features: This book is part of the "IELTS Express" series, and its five editors are all experienced IELTS training experts from the Overseas Study Training Department of Beijing Language and Culture University. With nearly 20 years of IELTS teaching experience, they have accumulated rich success in practice. The most prominent feature of this series lies in its detailed and in-depth analysis of the specific requirements and test-taking skills for the IELTS exam, providing candidates with scientific and effective training methods. It guides candidates to conduct effective training under proper guidance, offering targeted feedback during the process to ensure the best possible preparation results.
Since the speaking test is a face-to-face conversation conducted with strangers, candidates should consider the feelings of their listeners. Japanese beginners in Chinese often say "" (many have) instead of "" (many), which does not conform to Chinese expression habits. For example, if they want to express that there were many people on the way home from school at noon, they might say "," but given their level of Chinese proficiency, this is natural for them. We probably wouldn’t have any particular reaction to it. However, if they said "" (the street was swarming with people), it would sound unnatural.
This book focuses on the speaking section, introducing common topics and examiner questions in the IELTS speaking test, along with vocabulary, phrases, and sentences that candidates can use when answering. It helps candidates overcome misconceptions about preparation. The book comes with a CD containing four actual IELTS speaking test simulations.
