Preface
Dear Student,Thank you for choosing to study for the IELTS with New Oriental.
This book is the long anticipated result of a close cooperation between New Oriental and international IELTS experts to develop our own IELTS training materials. We believe it offers a different approach, with the following features:
First of all, the language used is likely what you will encounter in a real classroom or work setting while living abroad. The setting of each dialogue is also consistent with how you might encounter English as used by native speakers in their own country.
Also, under the guidance of renowned professor Rod Ellis, our partner international research team has delivered a proven methodology for ensuring the intended acquisition of needed skills for IELTS test takers in speaking, listening, reading and writing.
And most importantly, this book incorporates ten years of IELTS training experience by the very best teachers at New Oriental, and therefore has been customized to suit the needs of Chinese students.
I sincerely hope that together with these materials New Oriental teachers can make your IELTS classroom fruitful and rewarding. Enjoy your learning time with New Oriental!

From the first day she was friendly and kind towards the students, who were eight years old. But she was also strict. I mean, on the first day, she took out this old fashioned strap and banged it on the desk and we all got such a fright, but she was just trying to show us she was in control. She wasn't really that scary although she was quite short and she spoke in a loud voice. Everybody called her Mrs T.’§‘She taught us for every subject, so she taught us English, maths, writing, and actually I can't remember what else!’§‘I guess what I used to enjoy most about her classes was her personality and the fact that she cared about all of her students, even the naughty ones. I remember her daughter lived in America and she used to send over American sweets and chewing gum for Mrs T to give to the good students. All the students tried to be really good to get that reward!’§‘I particularly remember my teacher, Mrs T, because she was so kind, helpful and patient. I was very young and she was like a mother to me, gentle but strict at the same time.’Note the structure the speaker uses to talk about a past habit that no longer happens:used to + base verb.I used to enjoy…She used to send over American sweets…For example:‘I used to go the library.’—a past habit. This was something I did often in the past, but I don't do it any more.‘I used to live in Shanghai.’—a past state.
