I got an offer from University of Edinburgh for the major of
digital media. Due to bad listening ability, I performed badly with
listening and speaking parts the first time when I took IELTS, as I
can only ‘hear’ by looking at speakers’ lips. After this test, I
heard that BC can arrange a special test for physically-challenged
people and I applied for a lip-reading listening test. The
application procedure was easy-to-follow, and the test was arranged
with great care. I got a satisfactory score and I am more confident
than ever before about studying abroad.
There are two reasons why I took IELTS exam. Firstly, I have
heard that IELTS is most popular when applying for UK universities;
secondly, university of Edinburgh told me that both IELTS and TOEFL
are recognized, however, IELTS is favored and strongly
recommended.
IELTS is a great exam because the preparation for IELTS is
beneficial for your overseas studies. The exam contents cover
different parts of western life such as culture and lifestyle. For
example, you can know how to rent a flat, how to work with real
estate agents, how to use library etc.
In addition, IELTS is convenient for candidates in terms of test
dates and test venues, especially candidates in Beijing, you can
take the exam almost every weekend. ‘
