respected English language proficiency test. It is designed to assess the language abilities
of individuals who wish to study, work, or migrate to countries where English is the primary
language of communication. The IELTS is jointly owned by the British Council, IDP: IELTS

Ielts Section
- Listening
- Reading
- Writting
- Speaking
Listening: In the listening section, candidates listen to a variety of
recordings, such
as
conversations, monologues, and lectures, and answer a series of questions based on the
information they hear. This section assesses their ability to understand spoken English in
different contexts.
Reading: The reading section consists of a series of passages, usually taken
from books,
newspapers, magazines, or academic journals. Candidates are required to read the passages and
answer a range of questions to test their comprehension skills. The passages become increasingly
complex as the test progresses.
Writing: In the writing section, candidates are given specific tasks that
assess their ability
to write effectively in English. They are required to complete two tasks: Task 1, which involves
describing or explaining visual information, and Task 2, which requires writing an essay on a
given topic.
Speaking: The speaking section is a face-to-face interview between the
candidate and an
examiner. It is divided into three parts. In Part 1, candidates answer general questions about
themselves and their interests. In Part 2, they are given a topic and have to speak about it for
two minutes. In Part 3, the examiner asks further questions related to the topic discussed in
Part 2, encouraging a more in-depth conversation.
