Частые вопросы
Как понять, формальным или неформальным должно быть письмо GT?
Посмотрите, кому вы пишете. Компании, организации или незнакомому человеку нужно формальное письмо; знакомому соседу, преподавателю или руководителю полуформальное; другу или родственнику неформальное. Приветствие, которое даёт задание, это подтверждает.
Как закончить письмо IELTS?
Dear Sir or Madam сочетается с Yours faithfully. Dear с фамилией (Dear Mr Lewis) сочетается с Yours sincerely или Kind regards. Dear с именем сочетается с Best wishes, Take care или Love. Затем напишите своё имя.
Какой длины должен быть ответ Task 1?
Не меньше 150 слов примерно за 20 минут, и для отчёта Academic, и для письма General Training. Task 2 весит вдвое больше Task 1, поэтому не задерживайтесь на Task 1.
Это настоящие вопросы IELTS?
Нет. Это тренировочные вопросы в стиле экзамена, написанные GoPrep, на темы и типы заданий, которые встречаются на тесте. Официальные прошлые варианты не публикуются в виде бесплатной базы, а сайты, которые обещают «реальные вопросы этого месяца», угадывают.
