AFTER THE GROUP CALL...

I wanted to make some notes. We had such a great talk that it really makes sense to write down some ideas

1) We discussed methods of practicing fluency on your own with no partner. Participants shared their own ways:
— record answers to practice questions, listen and note mistakes to work on them
— talk in front of the mirror, practicing maintaining eye-contact for the exam
— record yourself reading out loud paying attention to pronunciation features (intonations, stress)

2) We talked about struggles of IELTS preparation. Participants identified:
— difficult to figure out what materials are worthy, too many sources out there
—no detailed feedback with corrections to writing & speaking
— difficult to understand your own weaknesses and build a study plan
—challenging to find a study buddy and a supportive community
— no support or no-one to seek advice from, ask questions

What other stuggles do you have in your IELTS prep?
