IELTS Tip of the day: Sunday 10, May 2009
Hi Guys!
Many IELTS test takers mostly forget (sometimes unwilling) to make some notes of ideas when they are given a piece of paper and pencil by the examiner during the individual long-term (cue card) round. Of course, the examiner is not going to reduce your score for that, but remember the examiner may think that you are overconfident or you are going to give a crammed response! So, please make sure that you won't forget to write down a few notes of ideas during your IELTS test. And most importantly, these notes will help you to speak continuously and fluently as you are allowed to have glance at the notes while delivering your cue card answer. This will, ultimately, help you keep speaking without snapping in the middle!
Plus, unlike many of you may think, looking at the notes while speaking is not at all a bad impression. In other words, if you give a response without jotting down a few notes, you may run out of ideas or fumble for words after uttering a few words or sentences. This, in fact, is a bad impression. So the choice is yours :-)
All the best from Jacob.
