Concept explanation
IELTS is an English test. It checks four skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
A test part means one part of the test. IELTS has four test parts: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
- Listening: you hear English and answer questions.
- Reading: you read texts and answer questions.
- Writing: you write answers to tasks.
- Speaking: you answer questions aloud.
