2. Many individuals think maybe a couple months planning is sufficient. It might be, however it relies upon you. Your general information of English issues. Planning for the test isn’t tantamount to creating yourself. On the off chance that your English is poor, crash arrangement can’t win you a high band. You have to deal with your English by and large.
3. Local speakers of English are normally incoherent to Nigerians. This is mostly because of their fast discourse and the idea of English as an anxiety designed dialect. Many individuals don’t do well in IELTS listening since they do not have the capacity to comprehend what local speakers articulate. Subsequently, when you watch English movies, focus on how words are articulated. Don’t simply hear BBC news; hear it out.

That mortal man should feed upon the creature that feeds his lamp, and, like Stubb, eat him by his own light, as you may say; this seems so outlandish a thing that one must needs go a little into the history and philosophy of it.
It is upon record, that three centuries ago the tongue of the Right Whale was esteemed a great delicacy in France, and commanded large prices there. Also, that in Henry VIIIth’s time, a certain cook of the court obtained a handsome reward for inventing an admirable sauce to be eaten with barbacued porpoises, which, you remember, are a species of whale. Porpoises, indeed, are to this day considered fine eating. The meat is made into balls about the size of billiard balls, and being well seasoned and spiced might be taken for turtle-balls or veal balls. The old monks of Dunfermline were very fond of them. They had a great porpoise grant from the crown.
