    @chichan maraming online listening tests na for free lang, best thing is to sit on practice tests. during the exam, diba merong time dun per section to read the questions and choices, tapos sulat ka ng mga keywords; minsan kase yung first sinasabi ng dialog/speaker tapos andun sa choices, ay binabago niya in the end, parang trick lng, so sulat ka lng ng sulat ng keywords so that malaman mo kung ano yung final answer. make sure ma trace mo yung idea/thoughts ng conversation keywords. goodluck!

    hi lexxus. see the writing samples and tips in ieltsbuddy.com. first thing that you should learn is how to identify what type of essay is given. writing your thoughts about the topic and how you will organize them becomes easy when you know the type :)

    @ chichan, go over all the sample tests in youtube especially those labelled cambridge. ielts-exam.net and ieltsbuddy.com will be helpful, too. the accent becomes difficult to understand when the rate of speech is fast but if you have done a lot of practice, then no worries :) for the multiple choice type, you don't only need to find the keywords. you should know their synonyms because what is in the recording may not be that same words you have in the texts.

    @lexxus usually yung simplicity lang ng essay; syempre you need to put complex words there to show your vocabulary, pero you need to stick to the structure, intro, body, conclusion. yung intro, rephrase mo lang yung question or essay topic in the best way you can but put it simpy. sa body if asked for ideas or stand, gawin mo point per point, maybe 2 disadvantages muna then 2 advantages for example, then sa conclusion, one sentence lang to reason out your stand and one sentence supporting, tapos one sentence summary, e rephrase mo ulit yung intro... that's one easy way of looking at it para medjo schematic... goodluck! JAHBless!

    @bait0211 e search mo lang adultsenglish ielts speaking, parang nasa 70+ yung practice sessions niya... also sa first part kase ng speaking, all about self, hobbies, interests, etc, so familiar ka na dito, sa speech din or sa second part, di nmn necessary na may structure talaga yung speech mo what matters most is how you speak up given the 2 minutes and of course to answer or cover all pointers / items na nasa task card, tapos sa 3rd part yung follow up questions na, you can always buy time by rephrasing the questions, asking clarifications, and saying things like...hmmm, that's a rather difficult question, can you give me more time to think about it first... or pwede ring wow i have never really thought of that before, mga ganun, delaying tactics, hehehe. before speaking don't drink too much liquid kase naiihi ka nkkdagdag ng tension and pressure, just sit comfortably, tas deep breathing ka the whole time na naghihintay ka for your turn... kaya mo yan, tiwala lang kapatid!!! 9er na yan! hehe ;-)
