Share IELTS tips, IELTS Cambridge 1 - 11 (PDF and Audio)

Hello, I'm an IELTS teacher in Japan.

I created this new thread for IELTS learners to share experience in sitting for IELTS test, how to master IELTS, IELTS tips, strategy and instructions on getting a high score (7.0 and above).
I also provide Speaking Prediction Material for IELTS Speaking (from April to August). If anyone want to get all of these materials, feel free to let me know.

I will be the very first person to share with you how I got a 8.5 in IELTS (Listening 8.5; Reading 9.0; Writing 8.0; Speaking 8.5). Firstly, I would like to share the first 3 tips in getting Speaking 8.5 ( 7 more tips will be updated tomorrow)
Tip 1: Use at least 2 idioms and collocations
eg: I'm a bundle of nerves (it means you are really nervous)
I'm over the moon now (you are very happy)
Tip 2: Use linking words to connect your ideas
eg: ...In addition, due to the fact that printed newspapers are geographically-limited, their reach and exposure levels are becoming substantially lower than those of online news. Apparently, it is online press, not the traditional one, which helps new seekers all over the globe access local news as well as global news published by a variety of internationally prestigious newspapers including BBC, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal.

Tip 3: Don't use slang (IELTS is a formal test to assess English proficiency of candidates, therefore, you should try to be more formal, don't use slang like a kid) eg: I work my socks off to get a high score for my IELTS test not I work my ass off to get a high score for my IELTS test
