雅思之路为为考生服务

In China in 2008 the test cost about 1,450rmb and fortunately for IELTS candidates the British Council in conjunction with Clarity Language Consultants have put together the new “Road to IELTS” online system designed to help people understand and better train in the lead up to the test.

Such news will be music to the ears for many as it includes about 120 hours of learning materials in each of the four test components, (speaking, reading, writing and listening) for both Academic and General Training Modules.

All registered IELTS candidates can use the online training course free and it is being touted as a “self-access complement” to other forms of training. “Road to IELTS” will also give explanations of question types and provide useful tips on how to handle the tasks.

Because the training is online, "Road to IELTS" can be accessed any time and from anywhere and these days with greater connectivity particularly with regard to mobile devices and 3G, subway-riding bus-shuttling candidates can maximize practice time.

Of critical value is the mention that candidates can complete the listening tasks under the same timed conditions as they would in the actual exam. In addition with the Speaking section, sample videos walk the learner through each stage of the test providing models of good practice while giving opportunities to analyze different interview techniques.

This last point is of primary value and ideally will go a long way towards defusing built up conspiracy theories candidates may have generated about certain speaking examiners who they feel are biased towards sweet smelling maidens or suave Donny Yen lookalikes. It may also dispel another IELTS legend that examiners are tougher in the bigger cities so it’s better to fly out to Urumqi or Haikou so you have more of a chance.
