『#IELTS TIPS#』

• 在备考雅思的过程中，你要学会Notice your mistakes. 举例：Teacher: How long have you been living in Manchester? Student: I came here before one month? Teacher: One month ago? Student: Yes, one month ago.
• 说实话: Truthfulness is not important and neither is giving a negative opinion of something. The important thing is that you have something to express. If you have more to say by being truthful, even if it is expressing a negative opinion, then that is what you should talk about.
• 如何给考官留下印象：stand out from the crowd by giving an unexpected answer to a question. // http://sinaurl.cn/hkome

“What makes the Leaning Tower of Pisa lean?”
