All About IELTS: How the test works and what you need to do to get a good grade - Fiona Aish

\nAn essential guide to the IELTS exam \nWho is this book for? \n \n\n \nThis book is for advanced speakers of English and first-language English speakers who wish to take the IELTS Academic test and want to find out more about what the exam entails, and, importantly, how to take the test effectively.

Rather, it includes information about the test format, what is being tested and how you can give good answers in the test.\n Test information, exam tips and practice opportunities with answers \n \n\n \nThe book is separated into five main chapters: \n \n- Overview of the IELTS exam \n- Listening test \n- Speaking test \n- Reading test \n- Writing test \n \n\n \nEach chapter contains test information and exam tips. You also have an option to practise the question and task types.\n \nGlossary of grammatical terms and technical language also included \n \n\n \nAs much as possible, this book utilises accessible language. Certain grammatical terms and more-technical language are linked to an indexed glossary.\n \nAudio included \n \n\n \nAudio files for the chapter on Listening can be downloaded from the publisher's website.\n \nBonus material \n \n\n \nSample IELTS Academic Reading test\n \nAbout the authors \n \n\n \nFiona Aish has co-written several titles in exam preparation and EAP, and creates materials and assessment resources for a range of educational providers.
