1、IELTS 考试水平稍高于大学英语四级,大体与TOEFL相似,但主要侧重于应用能力,考试难点因人而异,就我本人来讲口语相对较难;
2、目前市场上出售的考试复习资料对考试帮助不是很大,因为基本上都是for accademic nit for general training.建议使用british embassy 出售的资料,可以熟悉一下考试题型;
3、词汇量要求不是很高,大学英语单词足以应付,复习一下大学英语词汇量即可;
4、以本人经验准备时间不必太长,但主要取决于个人英语水平,因为它毕竟与我们所常见的考试不大一样,实质上主要是能力测试,考试期间曾与其他考生交谈,普遍认为准备时间过长对考试帮助不大,平均两个月足以;
5、听力感觉时间较紧,虽然不记入成绩但也不应忽视;
6、口语测试随机性很强,不必刻意背诵有关资料,总的说来目前市场上出售的口语书基本上含盖了口语面试的大部分,大体上不会超过这个范围,只有多说多练。面试官提问问题大概按照他自己的思路走,没有定式。
我是怎样准备IELTS
1. Listening
I registered the TOEFL of 15th of May. So I will spend some time on TOEFL listening practice. Because the score of listening section is not a part that considered by immigration department of Canada consulate, I will not spend my valuable time on it.
2. Reading
I'm prepare the Reading section of TOEFL and IELTS at the same time. So, no extra time for practice this section except looking through the example.
3. Writing
I downloaded several tasks from www.ielts.com and wrote according to them and TOEFL an essay every day or every other day. I found a American English teacher and let him correct my writing once a week. I'm also going to keep in mind some good essaies in order to use them in the real examination.
4. Speaking
I have chance to talk to some foreigners during work time. But it is not enough. I have arrange with the here in above American to simulate the test with me once a week.

When I got the bill , I am astonished that it is much high than usual . In the months before , it costs me about $100 per month , But in this month , it costs me about $200 . I am sure that I am using the telephone too much .
After I examed the bill , I found that there are something wrong about the oversea telephone serveice . e I have no relatives or business partners in Africa , but I found that there are many phonecalls to Ugenda!So there must be something wrong with your billing system .
Here I will make a serious complaint . I think you do not want me to change to another telephone service company . So please check my bill and I want my money back .
I am looking forward to your reply. Thank you for any help in advance .

答案二
Some people say that ... (把题目观点复述一下). I totally agree this idea .
Firstly , general subjects are the basement of other kinds of subjects . In our country , Chinese,math,physics are all general subjects .Without a systematic study of general subjects , one will face a lot of problem in this social life . For Example , if you had not studied math , when you wandering around a flea market , You will find that robbed by those cunning guys .
Next , people are gifted defferently . If you do not study the general subjects , maybe you will not find what you are really good at . When I was young , I like to read novels and I believe that I will be a writer . But after I have studied BASIC - a computer program language , also a general subject in my school , I found that I was so good at it that even I can use it to write a small computer game . I am a computer programmer now . Thanks god , I found what I was gifted . If I hadn't study BASIC , the general subject , maybe I was a poor low-end writer now !
Finally , people's carrer must be related with their interet . It is happy to work on what you are interested in and get the payment at the same time . Without the study of the general subjects , maybe you will not find what you are interested in .
To sum up , 再次强调主题,I will practise this kind of method on my child .
