Spelling does matter in IELTS – particularly in the reading and listening papers. If you spell the word incorrectly, you lose the mark. So how do you learn to spell? My answer to that is mostly by reading: if you see the word enough, you soon recognise what’s right. But it’s not quite that simple is it? Particularly if your native language has a different alphabet such as Arabic does.
Test yourself
Sometimes the old-fashioned ways are still the best ways. Back when I was a boy, we used to have regular spelling bees at school. The spelling bee is really little more than a competitive spelling test. Here is an interactive video for you to test your spelling skills and your listening skills at the same time. I’m not sure about the humour, but the technology is great as is the fact that you get to hear the word spoken in context.
