Greetings ,
I can help you with some of the tips for IELTS preparation .
1. Listening :
- Listen to BBC but don't make use of visual graphics. You have to activate your mind's eye in listening session . So just listen to
British accent by turning your face away from the screen or make the screen dark .
- Visit the website for song album ( http://www.azlyrics.com/ ) and play the song on www.youtube.com . You can look at the song
word for word and can catch the accent
For example :Website : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbszjo99JAc ( Its the song of London Nights by London Boys )
Now open the song book : Website :http://www.allthelyrics.com/lyrics/london_boys/london_nights-lyrics-904421.html
NOW U NEED TO CONCENTRATE AND U CAN LEARN THE ACCENT & PRONUNCIATION .
Personal Advice : Try to hear British / Australian / New Zealand people as the IELTS is a exam conducted by the University of
Cambridge.
- This website is about the website ofscript of movie http://www.imsdb.com/ . You can watch a movie and can take the help from
this website by looking into the dialogues / monologues of that particular movie and can catch the accent
READING :

At the time of Exam :

way you will concentrate more on the relevant information . ( EYES SEES WHAT MIND KNOWS )
