4.0 out of 5 stars
Very useful!, November 30, 2007
This review is from: Step Up to IELTS Self-study Pack (Paperback)
This book is for students aiming at a band 5-6, and a good starter (when followed up with other texts) for students needing a higher score.
It is a very useful IELTS-related item to purchase because:
1) it presents the learner with the 4 IELTS modules (or parts)
2) it can help both General and Academic Module students
3) it broadens one's vocabulary by setting such activities in 16 every day situations, each of them very likely to be somehow involved in the spoken part of IELTS (hobbies, cooking, traveling, geography, weather, money, studying, fitness, cars, celebrity gossips, reading, nature, buildings, feelings, technical innovation, languages)
4) it gives one actual *tips* on what to do and what not to do during the exam!
5) it has lots of pictures, so it's very good for visual learners.
However, this book might not be good if you are either a very conceptual person, or a very example-based one. Rules aren't described in detail, and examples are but very few.
