After one year's ielts study I finally got my ideal score(overall7)while studying in edm. when I saw the result in my last day in edm, I was so excited that I cried for a moment. Coz that means i can finally apply for my ideal universIty- the university of Toronto.
4. IELTS 영역별로 어떻게 공부했는지, 나만의 공부방법(노하우)를 자유롭게 적어주세요.
* Reading: I did the regular reading exercise everyday by using Cambrige 4-12, limiting 60 minutes for 3 passages. After every mock exam for reading, i tried to understand every sentence in the passages by linking the grammar. In my opinion, if you do lots of reading practice, you will find the regulations in every type of questions. Additionally, I think time-management is quite important in reading part.
* Listening: Dictation is the most useful method of improve listening. I did the dictation for about 4 months and I gradually could hear every word in the listening. What's more, i listened to the BBC everyday, and i repeated by myself while listening to it. There are lots of academic words related to the ielts reading and writing, so that helped me a lot. Lastly, iIthink spelling is also an important part in listening, because if you hear the word but spell it in a wrong way, you will not get the score. So make sure that you can spell every basic listnening word correctly.
* Writing: Task2: I attended Ian's class for one month from 6.5 writing class to 7.0 writing class, and I made apparent progress in writing with his help. Firstly, he told us that the most useful strategy to improve writing was memorizing the whole great articles. And i did as he told, to my surprise, I could write some complex and great sentences rather than making up some eccentric sentences by myself. Secondly, he often summarized some useful formats of sentences that can highlight our articles in class according to the different topics. Lastly, I think practice and editing helped me a lot. Especially, in his writing practice class in the afternoon, we often did the mock exam by limiting the time to write the task. And he edited every task i wrote not only in the class but also after the class. I got the useful feedback from him- especially I learned how to write logically and how to support my idea by using examples and comparisons. Moreover, he gave us lots of positive advice for our lives and that encouraged me to study harder. Finally, in my 12-02 test , I met the topic he mentioned a lot in his class. So I think that is why I got such a high score in my writing.

Your patience reminds me of one old Chinese saying, “ 愚公移山 (yu gong yi shan)“
,which means that anything can be achieved with persistence.
