Cách học:
Gạch ideas ra cho tất cả các đề đã ra vào các đợt thi trước. IELTS có kho đề rất rộng nhưng tỉ lệ
lặp lại cũng rất cao, ngoài ra các đề thi mới đa phần cũng xào nấu từ các đề cũ mà ra. Nên nếu
bạn đã chuẩn bị trước cho các chủ đề liên quan rồi thì vào trong phòng thi sẽ đỡ được 5-10 phút
ngồi nghĩ ideas cho task 2. Với thời gian này bạn hoàn toàn có thể thừa thời gian để chỉnh lại lỗi
ngữ pháp, chính tả... vào lúc cuối giờ để tối ưu hoá điểm. Ngoài ra nhiều đề IELTS khá khó nghĩ
ideas nên nếu đã làm ở nhà rồi sẽ tránh được việc gặp đề “khó” hay “dễ” vì mình đều đã có
hướng giải quyết rồi.
