A Chinese book on IELTS Speaking, which is written bilingually: English & Chinese.
To use English freely in the IELTS speaking test has been an aspiration for all of you, but how to fulfill this dream probably is a puzzle for many.
This book has been conceptualized and devised as a self-study aid, intended for learners who will take the IELTS test within a couple of weeks.
In all honesty, this target audience is best characterized by their taxing anxiety, or even desperation, and the frantic all-nighters when note cards are splayed all over the floor in messy piles. They are so worked up because they are afraid they will end up being unprepared or under-prepared for the test. Eventually, most of them step into the test room with their brains jam-packed with rigid templates and corny bromides, many of which are antiquated English. Then, when actually striking up a conversation with the examiner, they find themselves hopelessly tongue-tied and dumbfounded.
