The passages are similar to but shorter than Academic IELTS passages. The twenty new words in a list are broken down to more manageable groups of about five words. Also added is practice in paraphrasing. Students have to recognize from a choice of two or three the one which offers the best paraphrase of a sentence from the passage. The follow up material after the vocabulary has been taught and practiced in very useful word family exercises (which students in my experience find difficult) is the chance to do a Task 1 or Task 2 writing exercise based on the subject of the reading, or, in other units, the chance to have a discussion about the topic of the reading. Or even to listen to something about the topic. So a very useful book which integrates the skills. (If only the actual exam did the same!) I use it as supplementary material and produce an answer sheet much like an IELTS answer sheet but broken down into the different sections. This enables students to send me their answers on one sheet which students like and also it makes for easy grading. Review: The best way to get IELTS - Very smart book with audio. ⭐10/10. Different books ware compared by our teachers and this one is the best. I recommend you to use this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,601,131 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #541 in TOEFL & TOEIC Tests #5,200 in English as a Second Language Instruction #15,937 in Study Guides (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (75) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.8 x 9 inches | | Edition | Third | | Grade level | 10 - 12 | | ISBN-10 | 1438077033 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1438077031 | | Item Weight | 13.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 384 pages | | Publication date | December 1, 2016 | | Publisher | Barrons Educational Series | ## Images ![Essential Words for the IELTS: With Downloadable Audio (Barron's Test Prep) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714qNZKRtcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Appropriately Stressing the importance of vocabulary in IELTS preparation *by J***L on March 29, 2017* The newer edition has wisely upgraded the initial task, in each of its 30 sub-units, of connecting new vocabulary items to their definitions after the reading of a passage.
