Abstract:
In this article the problem of preparing for the students, for whom English is not a native language, for making a written part of British IELTS-test is shown. The analysis of the stages of preparation for the written part of the test is conducted on the basis of the section “General Training Writing”, consisting of two main elements. Despite their similarity, the tasks require from the students to use different skills and abilities. For example, the first task evaluates the students’ ability to assess the overall situation and provide information. It requires writing in response to a particular graph (bar, line or pie graph), table, chart, or process (how something works, how something is done). This task tests an ability to select and report the main features, to describe and compare data, identify significance and trends in factual information, or describe a process.While the second task evaluates the ability to offer solutions to a problem, to evaluate and challenge ideas, to prove and argue their point of view.During this task, the students are presented with a topic and are tested on their ability to respond by giving and justifying an opinion, discussing the topic, summarizing details, outlining problems, identifying possible solutions and supporting what you write with reasons, arguments and relevant examples from their own knowledge or experience. Therefore, the article proposes the distribution of the written process for the main components and justifies the expediency of using this theoretical base in the process of preparing students. As the result, students will achieve an ability to use a wide range of vocabulary with very natural and sophisticated control of lexical features; and to show rare minor errors, which occur only as “slips”; to use a wide range of structures with full flexibility and accuracy and to address fully all parts of the task.
