IELTS Core Course

我的英文名字叫做Catherine，然後我來這邊唸英文的原因是為了要去英國念研究所，所以才會找到這間補習班，當初是在網路上看到評價還不錯，因為這邊的老師會督促我們，開口講英文之外，這裡吸引我的就是：這裡的讀書室，因為我發現其實很多參考書自己買的話都蠻貴的，倒是這邊的補習班可以提供我們各式各樣的書。讓我們自己讀，其實幫助是非常大的，然後讀書室還有一個很吸引人的地方就是：他的電腦裡面有很多聽力的練習，包括練習口音，或者是練習書本裡面聽力都其實算非常有效，那師資的部分的話，我覺得在這邊的老師如果遇到我們的話，他會希望我們可以跟這位同學聊：你今天發生的十件事，請你跟大家分享，或者是請你跟這位同學分享，問他10個問題。我覺得一開始來說，是非常要訓練膽量的一件事情，但是久了之後會發現其實從這之中受益相當多。那我之前多益考大概是780分左右，後來我來這邊補習之後，我有發現說我過去的閱讀能力、閱讀速度很慢的問題，有很明顯的進步，也可以在時間之內，很快地把文章讀完，算是我在這邊發現，最大的進步的地方。這裡上課的方式呢，是上課一開始的時候，老師會先請我們跟一起上課的同學分享最近發生的一些事情，我覺得這也很大的幫助，可以訓練我們口說的能力，除了口說之外，我覺得幫助很大的就是寫作部分，寫作部分老師的教法是先教我們一些不同題型的，內容安排的寫法，接下來我們就可以照這個題型在白板上面寫。那老師馬上的糾正我們的錯誤，所以我們可以馬上知道：我們哪裡需要進步的。同時也可以看到其他同學有哪一些寫好的地方呢，也可以同時做參考，那我覺得這兩點除了口說之外，寫作也是進步非常大。

Why You Need The IELTS Core Course

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) assesses the English language proficiency of people who want to study or work in English-speaking environments.There are two tests. The Academic Test is for those people who wish to study abroad, while the General Test is for people who wish to work in or immigrate to an English speaking country. At IELTS TAIPEI we specialize in preparing students for the more rigorous Academic Test format.

Both tests consist of four separate parts, assessing the four language skills — Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. IELTS is a task-based test which is likely different than the tests you might have taken in high school or university. Task based language assessment focuses on what learners are able to do with the English language as opposed to what they know about language. By focusing on tasks, the IELTS Exam is able to accurately assess the language performance of a student.

For example, Tasks in the Reading and Listening parts can involve note-taking, labelling and completion of tables or flow charts. The Writing Test will often include a task presenting a table or line graph for you to analyze. The question is included to test your ability to describe the information in the table in a succinct manner, using a specific set of vocabulary. If you understand what the exam is looking for and have mastered the proper vocabulary you will score high.

The secret to scoring well on the IELTS Exam is to understand the task and the type of answers that the examiner is looking for. That is where the IELTS Core Course will help you. By the end of the course, you will understand the logic of the IELTS, the particular skill that the exam is testing for and how to demonstrate your language proficiency.
