IELTS, the International English Language Testing System, is the worlds most popular English language test for entry into university or higher education where English is the language of communication. In other words, it is your academic passport!
You may find that listening is one of the more difficult modules in IELTS because you have to listen, process the language, read the questions and write the answers all at the same time. You will get a lot of practice in this book.
This book is designed to help you prepare for the test in a systematic way. You will learn a lot of useful vocabulary and you will learn how to predict and listen for different kinds of information.
The exercises have been created to give you practice in the various skills and strategies you will need to answer the different kinds of questions in the test.
You will further develop your listening skills by listening to dialogues and monologues spoken with a variety of accents on topics that typically occur in the IELTS listening test.

Dear Student,
Thank you for choosing to study for the IELTS with New Oriental.
This book is the long anticipated result of a close cooperation between New Oriental and international IELTS experts to develop our own IELTS training materials. We believe it offers a different approach, with the following features:
First of all, the language used is likely what you will encounter in a real classroom or work setting while living abroad. The setting of each dialogue is also consistent with how you might encounter English as used by native speakers in their own country.
Also, under the guidance of renowned professor Rod Ellis, our partner international research team has delivered a proven methodology for ensuring the intended acquisition of needed skills for IELTS test takers in speaking, listening, reading and writing.
And most importantly, this book incorporates ten years of IELTS training experience by the very best teachers at New Oriental, and therefore has been customized to suit the needs of Chinese students.
I sincerely hope that together with these materials New Oriental teachers can make your IELTS classroom fruitful and rewarding. Enjoy your learning time with New Oriental!
