English Conversation – Books & Literature
This is the preparation material for an English conversation lesson about books, literature and reading. Literature is the art of written work and means “things made from letters”. There are two main forms – fiction (text based on imagination) and non-fiction (text based on factual information). A love of reading can reduce stress, encourage positive thinking and improve your creativity and imagination. Nowadays, going to a library to read or borrow a book has become a rare event because many people prefer to use the internet to find information or they download an ebook instead.
How to Calculate your IELTS Band Score
In the IELTS exam, you receive a score, which is called a ‘band’, for each section of the exam – listening, reading, writing and speaking. You also receive an overall band score, which is the average score of the four sections. The band system is on a scale from 1 to 9, with each band corresponding to a level of English competence. Band 1 indicates that you have virtually no English at all, while band 9 is considered to be a high level of proficiency. It is also possible to get a half score, for example, 7.5.
