Understanding IELTS

WEEK 1

WHAT’S NEXT?

ROB: In the next few steps of this week, we’re going to introduce you to some reading, writing
and speaking tasks. First, we’re going to look at something that some of you may have
experienced before – exam stress. You’ll read a passage about exam stress and what to do to
help to overcome it, and then you’ll answer some questions about it. After that, you’ll listen to
someone talking about how the IELTS test is put together. In the final Activity this week, you’re
going to watch a speaking test and talk about how well the people being interviewed do. These
steps will show you the sort of task you’ll need to complete in the IELTS test and, at the same
time, give you some practice of doing them.
