IELTS result was out today.i got more than i expected. Alhamdulilliah..rezki baby la tu, sama2 studi ngan ummi die, sama2 amik exam aritu :) i scored in both reading n listening.speaking n writing, dapat band yg tinggi dr what i expected. especially speaking. sebab aritu rasa cam mengarut je banyak. tp rasanya mmg die not too strict for speaking tu la, sebab ramai yg sblm2 ni amik IELTS pun speaking dpt OK gak. agaknya die just want to see sama ada kite boleh bercakap or tak je kut..as for writing, ms amik exam tu, dpt tajuk yg OK, utk task 1 line graph, task 2 pun boleh goreng la isi die..alhamdulillah.
tp aritu mmg study hard utk the exam.yg secara intensifnya 2 mggu terakhir before the exam. bahan2 utk study banyak,dpt dari intenet, mrs ema, miss D, miss fizz. itupun xsempat buat semua, sebab xcukup masa. tp mmg need A LOT of exercise. kawan2 yg nak amik IELTS nanti, u must do a lot of practice,make sure cover everything, n pay extra attention to the part that you're weak. for me that would be TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN for reading, labeling a map for listening, and of course both writing task!
for writing tu, i studied dgn cara i wrote my essay then compared it with band 9 answer. of course, kite punye akan jauh beza from the band 9 answer, mmg menyedihkan, but then dari situ la kite blh tgk apa kelemahan kite n try to improve. one more thing, kene la rajin2kan diri study balik grammar.ada markah tau for grammar n vocab.. i admit, my grammar is just so-so, slalu gak wat silap :) To improve vocab: hmmm..yg ni susah sket, kene le rajin membaca. sambil2 wat reading exercisestu, cilok je prkataan best2 dari passage yg kite bace tu..
listening-must pay full attention n focus.hati2 ngan words ending with 's" and kata nama khas yg perlu capital letter.yg tu kalau salah, rugi markah. biasakan diri dgr mp3 for listening ni..listening 1-3 ok, boleh catch up,sebab die pause n pecahkan soalan2 tu.tp yg 4 tu,mmg kena pay full attention, sebab die suh kite jawab sume soalan trus.kekadang tak terkejar! buat latihan byk2 supaya blh improve your listening skill.
utk reading,mmg no choice-kena buat a lot of exercise, sampai rasa nak muntah.hehe. passage 1 n 2 are ok, passage 3 tu yg susah giller biasenye, bahasa die ilmiah sgt! so buatla byk2 latihan,buat yg susah2, sambil2 tu develop your own strategy, camne nak jawab sesuatu soalan tu..
speaking..hehe speaking ni susah nk ckp. hnya org yg dh gi exam tu je yg tau camne rasa die. very scary situation, jantung rasa cam dah jatuh ke lantai time speaking tu. tp one trick that i learned form mrs ema (TQ vr much, wajib blanje nih!) is to prepare your script earlier.mmgla kite xtau ape soalan yg akan ditanya, tp soalan biasanya berulang2, so kite try jawab n sediakan skrip seberapa banyak yg mampu, n nanti dkt2 nak exam go through the script. it works, really!like me aritu, bila ditanya soalan psl garden n museum, trus tringat skrip yg dah dibuat..so blh jawab la,walaupun xselancar dlm skrip, but it'll save you time of finding the idea what to say :) time ketaq2 camtu, susah woo nak kuarkan idea..hehe
well, i'm not an expert..biasa2 je.apa yg dapat tu rezki yg tak disangka yg Allah dah bagi.Alhamdulillah..mmg terbukti, tawakkal (usaha+doa) kepada Allah tu la jalan penyelesaian terbaik bagi apa jugak yg kite nak lakukan.. i can't help but smile all day long today.. :)
Wow..your result lift my spirit up! Thanks 4 the tips, it's really useful to me, hopefully i'll get the good result as yours. Congratulations :D
