This episode will be all about the reading section of the IELTS academic. The reading section consists of 40 questions each having 1 mark. You will be given three long texts ranging from descriptive and factual to the discursive and analytical type of texts. You are required to read those texts and answer the related questions in your IELTS reading test. You will be given 60 minutes to answer all the 40 questions and no extra time will be given to transfer the answers to the answer sheet. There are about 11 question types when it comes to reading tests. I will go over each type of question type. The purpose of explaining this to you is to make you familiar with each and every possible question type out there.

For this episode, I am only going to focus on IELTS academic to avoid any confusion. IELTS is divided into four different sections that are listening, reading, writing, and speaking. The Listening, Reading, and Writing sections of the IELTS test is completed on the same day, and speaking is usually scheduled a week before or after.  In this episode, I will explain the listening part in detail. You will listen to four recordings of native speakers, and as you hear, you have to simultaneously answer a series of questions. You will find questions related to what you are listening to in the question paper provided to you. So, you will be listening and writing down answers at the same time. It will take around 30 minutes, and then you will get additional 10 minutes to transfer those answers to an actual answer sheet. Each recording will contain ten questions, and as I said earlier, you will be listening to four separate recordings so that you will be answering 40 questions, each containing one mark.  You will listen to a total of four recordings. The first two recordings will be a conversation and monologue set in a social context. The third and fourth recordings will be conversation and monologue set in an educational or academic context. I hope now you know how the listening test is structured. Later in the episode, we will discuss the types of questions that can be asked in the listening part along with important tips.

In this episode, we have talked about why Canada is the ideal destination to study for Indian students. If we look at the stats we can see that the number of Indians who became permanent residents in Canada increased from 39,340 in 2016 to 80,685 in 2019, through the first 11 months of 2019, an increase of more than 105%, according to a National Foundation for American Policy.  This data alone shows the willingness of Indian students to immigrate to Canada for study and work purposes.
