Dear Teacher,
Bruce Rogers & Nick Kenny
To celebrate The Complete Guide To IELTS we have created The Mini Guide

The sample tasks in this mini guide are taken from The Complete Guide To

the skills involved in each task type so they arent truly standalone.
However, they do make fantastic practice for any IELTS student!
We hope you enjoy using them.
Happy teaching!

General Tip
Prepare your students with practice tests
under exam-like conditions, following the
time limits for each section of the test.
Be sure your students are familiar with the

format of the test; encourage them to have a
clear map of the test in their mind.
s
Speaking Tip
Make sure your students dont give memorised
answers or try to prepare their answer before
the test, remind them to remain confident and
relaxed.
s
Reading Tip
Reassure students that they do not
need to understand every detail and it
doesnt matter if there are words they
are not familiar with.
Familiarise your students with the format of

the many question types and make sure they
understand the importance of reading the
instructions for each set of questions carefully.
s
Listening Tip
Highlight the importance of reading the
questions carefully - encourage your students
to try to predict what kind of information they
will need to answer the questions.
s
Writing Tip
Dont begin writing immediately! Train your
students to always organise their thoughts
and make notes before beginning to write.
Find more great tips in
Encourage students not to give short

answers to questions or respond with a
simple yes or no but to give details and
examples when they speak.
Spelling counts! Remind your students

that when transferring their answers to
the answer sheet they should check their
spelling carefully.
Ensure students know not to copy long

phrases or sentences from the writing
prompt but to use their own words.
11 Its especially important to check carefully whether an answer is FALSE or NOT GIVEN.
12 Remember to write the words TRUE, FALSE or NOT GIVEN in the boxes on the

Organisation of Practical Grammar

Each level of Practical Grammar has 100 units, divided into modules of five units. Each module examines a particular area
of grammar. The grammar is set in short, everyday conversations or texts, showing the language in natural situations which
students will find engaging and can relate to.
Students then examine the form, meaning and use of the language before practising it in a variety of activity types.
A Review section concludes each module and regular tests check students progress.
Each level comes with two audio CDs and a pin code which allows access to MyPG for extensive additional online practice
for use at home or in self-access centres.
Key features
Real language in natural situations: exposes students to grammar at work
Listening and pronunciation: two audio CDs provide listen and check support
and key pronunciation of the grammar items
Key vocabulary: high frequency words and expressions in each unit
See page 72
See page 91
See page 24
Tips: highlight common errors and characteristics of English Grammar
See page 56
Regular review and progress tests: give students the opportunity to check
their learning
See page 20 for a review

See page 230 for a progress test
Each level of Practical Grammar is available in two editions: with or without answers.
