Speaking - EOT Exam Practice 01


The end of the school year approaches, and even though the IELTS exam is over and done with, you still have one more IELTS style speaking exam ahead of you, and since LC4 is worth way more than any other LC, these are marks you cannot afford to miss!


Well this is the first of a three part series, published every Thursday, to help you master all part of the speaking exam.

Here is what you do.

Step 1) Download this file. It is a set of IELTS Speaking Part 1 practice topics.

Step 2) Fire up Photo Booth or Quicktime Player, and record yourself answering the questions on each card in that file you downloaded.

Step 3) Watch your answers. Were they smooth? How many "ums" and "aws" did you hear? Was the answer too short?

Step 4) Answer the same questions a second time. Record them again, then compare how you did on the second version to the first. See any improvement?

LC 4 Course work-Let's Put it Together!


Gentlemen,

By the end of this week you should have completed the LC 4 project on Interview Techniques

As Mr. Bilal had stated in the earlier post that although you have done your IELTS exams and are waiting for your bands, you have NOT COMPLETED your English Course. To make the course different, your teachers have put together an activity that we hope may interest you. The completion of this activity, will add up to your course work marks.

Gentlemen, you will have the weekly quiz starting this week. The quizzes will be based on the three skills - Listening, Reading, Writing - IELTS format. You will also have your Mid Cycle Quiz and the End of Term Exam. Keep practicing!

So gentlemen, do not while away time during the English Periods. Show us your abilities and make ATHS proud of you all!
