2. ADVICE AND TECHNIQUES FOR IELTS LISTENING


Di y l cc li khuyn khi lm bi IELTS Listening ca thy Simon (ielts-simon.com).
1. Concentrate - it's really easy to miss the answers if you lose concentration, even for a
moment.
2. Read ahead - it's more important to be ready for the next section than to check the
questions you have already done (check them at the end when you have 10 minutes to
transfer your answers).
3. Highlight key words - when reading ahead, it's a good idea to underline words that you
think you will need to listen for.
4. Have the next question in mind - when you're listening for the answer to a question, be
ready for the next question as well. It's easy to miss several answers if all of your focus
is on one question.
5. Expect 'tricks' - the speaker may try to confuse you - click here for an example.

6. Spelling - as well as testing your understanding and vocabulary, IELTS Listening is also
a spelling test. You must work on your spelling if this is a weakness.
7. Difficult questions - don't worry if some questions seem really difficult. The exam needs
to have questions that separate band 8 from band 9. If you are worrying too much, you
might miss the easier questions that could get you a band 7.

Li khuyn khi luyn Listening vi b Cam


Here are 4 techniques that you could experiment with when practising IELTS listening tests from
the Cambridge books:
1. Work on specific sections rather than doing full tests. For example, you could focus on
section 1 this week, then do lots of examples of section 2 next week.
2. Do a full test, but allow yourself to listen two or three times. See how many extra
answers you get the second or third time you listen to the recording.
3. Do a full test, but give yourself as much time as you want during the breaks (by
stopping the recording). This takes away the problem of not having time to read the
questions properly, and allows you to focus more on your listening skills.
4. Change the listening test into a reading test. Instead of listening to the recording, use the
transcript at the back of the book. Did you get a higher score than usual? If you did,
your listening skills need more work. If you didn't, maybe your problem is related to
vocabulary.
The suggestions above might help you to find where your weaknesses are. They might also make
exam practice a bit more interesting!

K thut hc IELTS Reading da vo bng "keyword table" do thy Simon tng kt:
1. Choose a passage from one of the reading tests.
2. Get the correct answers from the back of the book.
3. Now read the first question, underline keywords, and search for the answer in the passage - you already
know the correct answer, so your only aim is to find where it is in the passage.
4. Underline words in the passage that have the same meaning as the keywords in the question.
5. When you have done this for each question, make a keyword table.
This technique forces you to stop testing yourself. Instead, it makes you focus on finding key vocabulary
and understanding the reason for each answer. You might be surprised at the improvements you make if
you regularly practise in this way.

Cc bn tham kho thm 7 li khuyn ca thy Simon cho IELTS Reading:


1. Don't read the whole text; you haven't got enough time. Just go straight to the questions.
2. 'Paragraph' questions are much easier if you do them last. Do other sections first.
3. The answers to most questions should be in the correct order in the text, so you don't need to go
back to the beginning to start looking for the next answer.
4. Read all instructions carefully.
5. Look for 'keywords'. There are usually words in the questions that are similar to words you need
to find in the text. For example, if the text contains the word "global", the question might use
the word "international". If you find the similar words, you have probably found the answer.
6. You must get to the end and answer every question. If you don't finish, you might miss some
easy points.
7. Some questions are difficult because their aim is to separate band 8 and band 9. Don't waste
time on difficult questions. Miss them, finish the exam, and return to them at the end.

IELTS Grammar: some typical mistakes


Find 5 common mistakes in the paragraph below:
Some people believe that, all police officers should carry a gun. While, others disagree with this idea, and
argue that it is intimidating to see armed police officers on the streets. From my view, the advantages of
police officers carrying guns have overweighed the disadvantages. Because the police need to be able to
protect both themselves and the general public.
Feel free to share your answers in the "comments" area below. I'll reveal the correct answers tomorrow.

CORRECT ANSWERS:
1. 'Some people believe that all...' (no comma after "that")
2. '... should carry a gun, while...' (don't begin a sentence with "While," - use "while" after a comma to
link contrasting ideas in the same sentence)
3. 'In my view' OR 'From my point of view' (not "From my view")
4. 'the advantages of police officers carrying guns OUTWEIGH the disadvantages' ("outweigh" NOT
"have overweighed")
5. '... the disadvantages because...' ("because" is used to connect ideas in the SAME sentence. You don't
need a comma before "because")

IELTS Grammar: before or ago?

Written by Ngoc Bach


Page: https://www.facebook.com/tuhocIelts8.0
Website: www.ngocbach.com

Page 23

Don't say: I came to Manchester before two weeks.


Do say: I came to Manchester two weeks ago.
Use "past time + ago"
10 years ago, a long time ago, a few weeks ago, a couple of days ago

Use "before + action / event"


before you left, before we start, before lunch

Don't use "before + past time" (before two weeks, before three days)

IELTS Grammar: fall or reduce?


These two words are the opposites of 'rise' and 'raise' (see last week's grammar lesson):
something falls (e.g. the price fell)
somebody reduces something (e.g. the company reduced the price)

You will probably use 'fall' to describe numbers on a graph or chart for IELTS Writing Task 1:
In 2008, the number of customers fell. (verb, past)
There was a sharp fall in Internet usage. (noun)

'Reduce' and 'reduction' are probably more useful for Writing Task 2:
We need to reduce the amount of pollution from exhaust fumes. (verb)
Recycling leads to a reduction in waste. (noun)

IELTS Grammar: linking with "this"


All students learn to link ideas using words like "however", "furthermore" etc. Most students don't realise
that the word "this" is also a linking word. Look at the following examples:
Nowadays, people can use the Internet, fax and mobile phones to work from home. In this way,

people who do not have access to transport can find employment.


Most products are built to last only a short time, and this creates a "throw-away" culture.
A global economy means free trade between countries. This can strengthen political

relationships.
The word "this" refers to the sentence or idea that came before. "This" helps you to link ideas and avoid
repetition. Native speakers and good writers use "this" a lot, and the IELTS examiner will be impressed if
you can use it.

IELTS Grammar: because


Students often make mistakes when using the word "because". You can't use "because" to connect ideas
in two separate sentences. Put both the main idea and the reason in the same sentence.

Which sentence is NOT correct?


1. Some children behave badly at school because their parents are too lenient at home.
2. Because parents are often too lenient at home, discipline in schools is becoming more difficult
to enforce.
3. Children's behaviour is getting worse nowadays. Because parents are not strict enough.

CORRECT ANSWER:
Sentence 3 is NOT correct. 1 and 2 are fine.
...
Chutarrat,
You can use "Firstly,..." or "First,..." I normally use "Firstly" but it's find to use "First".
All the best
Simon
Posted by: SImon | Monday, October 18, 2010 at 16:27
CORRECT ANSWER CONTINUED...
Sentence 3 should be written as one sentence with no stop or comma:
"Children's behaviour is getting worse nowadays because parents are not strict enough".

IELTS Grammar: 'because of'


Last week I looked at how to use the word 'because'. One of my students then asked me to explain the
difference between 'because' and 'because of'.
Compare these two sentences:
I stayed at home because the weather was bad.
I stayed at home because of the bad weather.
The important difference is the use of the word 'was' in the first sentence. After 'because', you need a
subject and a verb (e.g. the weather was). After 'because of', we don't use a verb, only a noun, nouns or
noun phrase.

IELTS Grammar: 'however' and 'whereas'


Written by Ngoc Bach
Page: https://www.facebook.com/tuhocIelts8.0
Website: www.ngocbach.com

Page 25

You can't use 'however' and 'whereas' in the same way. Follow these general rules in order to avoid
grammar mistakes:
Use 'however' (followed by a comma) at the beginning of a sentence to contrast with the previous
sentence:
Some people believe that schools are responsible for the behaviour of their students. However,

others argue that discipline is the responsibility of parents.


Use 'whereas' (after a comma) to contrast two ideas in the same sentence:
Some people believe that schools are responsible for the behaviour of their students, whereas

others argue that discipline is the responsibility of parents.


You can use 'on the other hand' or 'by contrast' in the same way as 'however'. You can use 'while' instead
of 'whereas'.

IELTS Grammar: while, whilst, whereas, as


Joshua asked me the following question:
"Can you explain while, whilst, whereas, as? Either can be used to connect two sentences, but I am not
sure how to identify them and quite often I use them wrongly."
Here's my simplified explanation:
1. While and whilst are the same, but whilst is a bit more formal (according to one famous
grammar book).
2. Whereas is always used for contrast. While/whilst can be used for contrast, OR to mean "at the
same time".
3. As can mean "because" or "exactly at the moment when".
Try to write an example sentence using each of these words. Feel free to share your sentences in the
"comments" area below.

IELTS Grammar: subject + verb


Question: Which of the following is a correct sentence?
1. Learning a foreign language.
2. Firstly, learning a foreign language in order to improve your career prospects.
3. For example, learning a foreign language by living in a country where that language is spoken,
and communicating with native speakers on a daily basis.
Answer: None of these are correct sentences. None of them has a main verb.
To make a sentence, you need a subject (noun/noun phrase) and a verb:
1. I am learning a foreign language. OR, Learning a foreign language isuseful.
Written by Ngoc Bach
Page: https://www.facebook.com/tuhocIelts8.0
Website: www.ngocbach.com

Page 26

2. Firstly, many people learn a foreign language in order to improve their career prospects.
3. For example, some people learn a foreign language by living in a country where that language is
spoken and communicating with native speakers on a daily basis.
Some students really need to work on writing correct "subject + verb" sentences. Missing the verb in a
sentence is a serious mistake that will definitely affect your score.

IELTS Grammar: correct the mistakes


The following sentences contain mistakes. Try to correct them.
1. We are friends ever since we first met.
2. If people work in teams can help them to achieve more.
3. If we consider unemployment is another important issue.
4. It is difficult to live in a new country, it is also difficult to speak a new language.
5. Many children behave badly, could be because their parents are not strict enough.

CORRECT ANSWERS FROM SIMON:


1. We have been friends.... (present perfect - from the past until now)
2. If people work in teams, THIS can help them to achieve more.
3. Unemployment is another important issue.
4. It is difficult to live in a new country and speak a new language.
5. Many children behave badly, perhaps because their parents are not strict enough.
Note:
I have tried to give the easiest solution, but many of the students' answers above are also correct.
...
Hi Clement,
I guess the answer would be true (it's a bit confusing without the full context).
Look through my reading lessons for more practice.
IELTS Grammar: find the mistakes
Correct the mistakes in the sentences below.
1. With developments in nuclear technology, the risk of accidents are being reduced.
2. Scientists need to make more researches to improve the safety of nuclear power stations.
3. Using of nuclear power not only does it produce cheap electricity, but also it does not have any
pollution.
I'll put my answers in the "comments" area tomorrow.

CORRECT ANSWER FROM SIMON:


1. With developments in nuclear technology, the risk of accidents IS being reduced.
('risk' is singular)
2. Scientists need to DO more RESEARCH to improve the safety of nuclear power stations.
('do research', not 'make researches' - never use the plural, 'research' is uncountable)
3. There are several ways to write this. Gopi's suggestion is a good one:
The use of nuclear power produces not only cheap electricity, but also less pollution.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Simon
PS. Kim: 'developments' is just a normal plural. The meaning doesn't change.

IELTS Grammar: more mistakes!


Try to correct the mistakes in the following sentences:
1. I am completely agree that job satisfaction for workers are important.
2. On the other side, maybe it is difficult for all workers to be happy in their jobs.
3. Although, we all need to work in order to pay our bills etc, but we also need to enjoy our jobs.
Be careful with "although". Most English learners make mistakes with this word.

CORRECT ANSWERS FROM SIMON:


1. I completely agree... IS important.
(NEVER "I am agree")
2. On the other HAND, it may be (2 words) difficult... OR: perhaps it is difficult...
(Don't use "maybe" at the start of a sentence in formal/academic writing)
3. Although (NO COMMA) we all need to work in order to pay our bills, (NO "BUT") we also need to
enjoy our jobs.
Also, don't use "etc." in your essays.
Simon

IELTS Grammar: using Google


If you are unsure about the correct way to use a word, Google can often solve the problem. Here are 2
examples:
1. Yesterday I googled "drink driving" and "drunk driving". Both are correct, but which is more
common?
Written by Ngoc Bach
Page: https://www.facebook.com/tuhocIelts8.0
Website: www.ngocbach.com

Page 28

2. I wanted to explain the use of "having had", so I googled "having had grammar" and found this
page from the BBC.
Google and Wikipedia are two of the best tools for improving your vocabulary and grammar. Try them
the next time you have a language problem.

IELTS Grammar: find the mistakes


Find the mistakes in the sentences below.
1. The graph shows the number of people travelled to and from UK.
2. In 1979, the number of people visited UK was 10 millions.
3. Turkey was the least country in terms of the number of people visiting it.
Feel free to share your answers in the "comments" area below. I'll post my answers tomorrow.

CORRECT ANSWERS FROM SIMON:


1. WHO travelled (or TRAVELLING)... THE UK
2. WHO visited THE UK... 10 MILLION
(no "s" on hundred, thousand, million etc. after a number)
3. You can't say "the least country" - change it to "least popular country".
