“With my current IELTS certificate, I may apply to become an English teaching assistant at language centers or work for multinational corporations—this is my biggest goal at the moment.”
III. Quang Thanh’s Thoughts on the NLP Vocabulary Learning and Automatic Listening Methods at WISE ENGLISH
The 6-step vocabulary learning method helps him connect the words he’s learned. Listening and dictation not only aid in memorizing vocabulary but also teach how words work together in different contexts. This approach makes it easier to master vocabulary and excel in both the Reading and Writing sections.
Regarding automatic listening, he practiced extensively at the center. Now, he can comfortably listen to podcasts or simple English songs.
He also offers some practical tips for improving listening skills:
“When practicing English listening, I choose any conversation or program on topics I love—be it podcasts, BBC news, or vlogs about everyday life—anything that genuinely interests me.”
IV. Tips for IELTS Preparation
Quang Thanh believes:
“Before stepping into the IELTS exam, you must study seriously and absorb as much vocabulary as possible. Building a strong vocabulary is the first and most important step to ensuring you can understand and follow the Listening section. Moreover, it will greatly enhance your Writing skills and boost your success in Speaking. The key is to practice and repeat as much as you can.”
Thank you for sharing your practical experience, Quang Thanh!
WISE ENGLISH hopes that your story serves as both motivation and a genuine testament to help others choose the IELTS preparation center that best suits their needs.
