IELTS Speaking Part 2: website for work or studies

Let's consider some ideas for the task below.

Describe a website you use that helps you a lot in your work or studies.
You should say

- what the website is
- how often you use the website
- what information the website gives you
- and explain how your work or studies would change if this website didn't exist.

If you were thinking of choosing Google as your website, here's a suggestion: maybe it would be more interesting to describe Google Scholar instead. This is a great tool for university students.

Here are some ideas that you could use in your description:

• a free academic search engine
• it searches scholarly sources, such as academic publishers
• easy to use - the same interface as normal Google
• it finds article titles and provides bibliographic information
• e.g. author, journal, year of publication
• it finds both restricted and publicly available articles
• it provides links to related articles
• you can search by year of publication
• bookmark articles to read later

If you've used Google Scholar as a student (or teacher), try using the above ideas to create your description. Don't forget to add your own examples, experiences or stories to make the description more personal.

Hi Simon and everyone
I have a question about listening skills
that what would you prefer when doing the multiple choice questions, should I go straight to the question or just take notes while listening to the audio then choose the answers later.
Thank you
