Almost everyone holds the capacity to explore new things and gain more knowledge. Learning vocabulary, mastering pronunciations and language rules is something conventional. These are the necessities, as you may say. You can acquire these from the customary resources, anytime. These can be learnt. So, how do you differ from someone who has got all the same resources? How would you score more than someone with a similar hold over the language? The difference lies in your head: in the way you think, in the way you react and in the way you retain things.
Competition is soaring high nowadays. This asks for a set of distinct qualities in every field and every test. IELTS is one of those. You not only need to come out with your English language skills in the test, but also with the critical thinking skills you possess. The IELTS test asks for a full understanding of situations, ability to handle complex situations and capacity to hold detailed argumentation. And all this is not possible if you solely rely on your language skills.
If you aim for a normal score, the old norms would do. But, to score an eight or a nine, you need to know English and you need to think in English. You need to be able to apply the knowledge and experience of your life time in approximately 3 hours. You need to think logically and plan how you decide to showcase the knowledge you have acquired. You’ll have to do this in various ways in the IELTS test, let it be the reading test, the writing test, the speaking test or the listening test.
Let us first talk about the reading module. For example, in the question where you have to choose from yes/no/not given, you need to possess the skill of elimination. You need to be able to eliminate, without much hustle, the ‘not given’ parts. You have to be quick in recognizing the information.
In the writing module, you need to exercise a combination of strategies. You have to come up with a number of ideas which may relate to the topic. This is called mind mapping. Once you have got all the ideas you need, you have to put them in the right structure. This is called organising. Furthermore, providing the idea is not enough. You have to give a ‘why’ for each of your ideas. This is known as justifying.
In the speaking test, you certainly have to portray your thinking skills. You need to be fluent in what you speak. And this definitely requires you to be clear about your ideas. This also demands quick brainstorming to come out with an appropriate response.
In the listening test, you have to exercise differentiation. Just by listening to things for a few seconds, you must be able to figure out the exact answer. You have to be fast in applying your skills as a good listener. This also involves comprehending synonyms or words that provide different meanings in different situations.
All and all, IELTS is not just about English usage. It’s about how you think, create, judge, and argue in English. IELTS Coaching centre in Ludhiana is helps you to score well.
