IELTS Notes: IELTS Test Structure
1. Examination time: The whole examination time is about 2 hours and 55 minutes (including listening 10 minutes).
2. Listening part (consistent with general training and academic papers)? 40 minutes (including 10 minutes for copying answers)
Usually, candidates will hear four sounds (monologues and dialogues between two or more people). * * * Answer 40 questions, only listen to the pronunciation once, and don't repeat this part. So when students answer, don't wait for the end of pronunciation before answering (don't turn around and answer). Candidates can write their answers on the test paper first, and then use the extra 10 minutes after the 30-minute dialogue, and then copy them on the answer sheet.
The first two paragraphs of the four-part speech mainly focus on the simulation of different situations of general life, social status and interpersonal relationship, while the last two paragraphs focus on more educational, academic and worldwide topics. The first and third paragraphs are mainly answers, while the second and fourth paragraphs are mainly narratives. However, due to practicality and common sense, candidates do not have to walk into a dead end.
During the conversation, record the key answers you heard while listening, and write them on the questionnaire (not the answer sheet) to avoid forgetting or omitting the answers.
3. Reading part (general training is different from academic papers)
Summary: 60 minutes ***3 articles, each about 1000 (read a lot), 40 topics.
Both academic and general training exams are based on the "three paragraphs" of the article, about 1500-3000 words, with various contents, and sometimes even appear in the form of charts and tables. There are many ways for students to answer questions, including 40 questions.
The theme of the reading part is not to examine students' academic professionalism or consciousness, so students should never be nervous because they are unfamiliar with the theme.
The similarity between Class A and Class G is that in addition to the life-oriented categories, Class A also increases the academic discussion and understanding of candidates, while Class G focuses on the topics of sociality, life-oriented and on-the-job training.
4. Writing part (general training is different from academic papers)
Writing includes two composition topics, Task 1 and Task 2, the former is 150 words and the latter is 250 words. In principle, candidates are advised to spend 20 minutes on the previous composition and 40 minutes on the latter one, because the latter one has a higher score.
Class A writing part, 1 hour, is divided into two major units (task1&; . Task 2);
(Task 1) Usually, the basic forms of exam questions are pictures, table coordinates and graphics. According to the given information, candidates write articles with more than 150 words, describe the theme, organize discussions on the theme, and put forward relatively supportive arguments.
5. Oral part (general training is consistent with academic papers)

The first paragraph: When greeting each other, the examiner will encourage (guide candidates) to talk about some general topics (life and rest, cultural habits, personal interests, etc.). ), and candidates should speak bravely (about 4-5 minutes).
Paragraph 2: The examiner draws out a question card with a topic written on it. Candidates have one minute to prepare, and then they must explain the topic for two minutes as required (about 3-4 minutes, including 1 minute preparation).
The third paragraph: the examiner has a more in-depth two-way discussion with the candidates on the topics mentioned in the second part, or the examiner has a two-way discussion with the candidates on other topics. The discussion at this stage is flexible and varied, depending on the situation (about 4-5 minutes).
