{"preparationclass_id":10,"title":"IELTS Test Modules","alias":"ielts-test-modules","parent_preparationclass":"1","details":"<p>The IELTS (International English Language Testing System) exam is divided into four modules, each designed to assess different language skills. Understanding the format and requirements of each module is essential for candidates aiming to achieve a high band score.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>1. Listening Module (30 minutes):<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Listening module is the first section of the IELTS exam. It assesses candidates&#39; ability to understand spoken English in various contexts. The module consists of four recorded sections, played on cassette tape or digital audio, and a range of accents and dialects may be used. Candidates listen to conversations, monologues, and discussions and answer a series of questions related to the recordings. The questions become progressively more challenging as the module advances. Candidates are given time to read the questions before each section begins, and they can also take notes during the listening process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>2. Reading Module (60 minutes):<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Reading module evaluates candidates&#39; reading comprehension skills. It includes three sections, each containing a different type of text:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Section 1: This section typically contains texts related to everyday social contexts, such as advertisements, timetables, or notices. Candidates are required to answer questions based on the information presented in these texts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Section 2: This section includes texts with a focus on work-related contexts. Candidates are presented with more complex language and are required to identify specific information, main ideas, and supporting details from the texts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Section 3: This section consists of texts related to academic or complex topics. Candidates are presented with longer, more detailed passages and are tested on their ability to comprehend complex ideas, arguments, and opinions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The question types in the Reading module include multiple choice, True\/False\/Not Given, matching headings, sentence completion, and others.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>3. Writing Module (60 minutes):<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Writing module assesses candidates&#39; ability to express themselves in writing coherently and appropriately for different purposes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Task 1: In the Academic IELTS, candidates are presented with visual information such as graphs, charts, or diagrams, and are required to summarize the information in their own words. In the General Training IELTS, candidates are asked to write a letter based on a given situation, which could be formal, semi-formal, or informal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Task 2: In Task 2, candidates are required to write an essay in response to a specific question or statement. They need to present clear arguments, provide relevant examples, and demonstrate critical thinking skills. The essay should be well-structured, with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>4. Speaking Module (11-14 minutes):<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Speaking module is a face-to-face interview between the candidate and the examiner. It is divided into three parts:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Part 1: The examiner asks general questions about familiar topics, such as hobbies, family, work, and daily routines. This part aims to assess the candidate&#39;s ability to provide detailed and relevant answers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Part 2: Candidates receive a topic card with a specific task written on it. They have one minute to prepare and make notes before speaking about the topic for up to two minutes. This part evaluates the candidate&#39;s ability to speak fluently, organize thoughts, and provide coherent and extended discourse.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Part 3: In this part, the examiner asks questions related to the topic from Part 2. The questions are more abstract and complex, requiring the candidate to discuss broader issues, express opinions, and justify their responses. This part assesses the candidate&#39;s ability to engage in a discussion, present arguments, and demonstrate language proficiency at a higher level.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>","intro":"","image":"","thumb":"","cover":"","remarks":"","display_order":"15","status":"1","created_at":"2023-12-11T08:06:37.000000Z","updated_at":"2023-12-11T10:51:05.000000Z","seo_keywords":"","seo_title":"","seo_descriptions":"","og_tags":"","createdby":"1","updatedby":"1","status_name":"<span class=\"badge text-bg-success-soft\"> Active <\/span>"}
