Are you taking an IELTS test soon? If you are, we have an offer you will be interested in. In order to help you prepare for your test, we are pleased to be able to offer you free use of the IELTS preparation materials available at the British Council library. This free offer is available as follows:

If either of these days falls on a public holiday, please make sure you phone the library to make sure that we are open. The numbers to call are (011) 4521521 in Colombo and (081) 2222410 in Kandy.

Don't forget to bring your IELTS exam fee receipt issued for a future IELTS test or the English Learning Zone (ELZ) reference membership card you get when you register for a course or an exam with the British Council.

IELTS can be a very challenging exam so it’s important that you prepare properly. We have an extensive range of IELTS material available including practice tests for all four skills. We have copies of many books which include past papers too.

LISTENING
You will have access to tape recorders where you can practise your listening skills. Read through the listening tips section of any of the resource books available and then try to use them in a practice test.

READING
Take a look through the materials available and you will find important tips that can help you come to terms with the size of the reading texts. Follow the tips and then practise yourself in the library.

WRITING
Many of the resource books include sample answers. It’s a good idea to write your answer first and then look at a 'good' answer to a question and see where you will be able to improve.

SPEAKING
This part of the test can be a surprise for any student who doesn’t prepare properly. Again, there is lots of advice available to encourage you to make the most of your time with the examiner.

Good luck for your exam!
