      The difference between IELTS A and G The main difference in writing can be divided into the following 2 points:<\/h3>\n

      Degree of difficulty of the topic:<\/p>\n

      Just as the reading difficulty of IELTS G is lower than that of A, the difficulty of the second major essay of IELTS G is also lower than that of A, and the composition topic is clear and easy to understand. Different from IELTS G writing, A writing usually has a deeper discussion in terms of propositions.<\/p>\n

      Degree of difficulty of the subject:<\/p>\n

      IELTS G writing topics are more common in life, such as family, society, school, work, etc. Different from IELTS A writing, the topic content is quite extensive. On the basis of covering G writing, it also covers the universe, technology, education, economy, medical treatment, tourism, government, city, crime, etc., such a wide range of topics Make the A-type essay more challenging.<\/p>\n

      The difficulty and required ability of IELTS A writing test is different from IELTS G. The A composition examines whether the examinee as a student has the ability to complete academic English writing in English, that is, English for life and academics. Strength and logical thinking ability; while writing in category G involves more content and topics in life skills, mainly examining whether candidates can use their English writing skills to live in an English-speaking country.<\/p>\n\n

      The difference between g-type IELTS and a-type The main difference in reading can be divided into the following two points:<\/h3>\n

      The topics of IELTS A-reading articles are relatively wide, such as science, history, environment, etc. Candidates do not need to be experts in these fields, but they need to have a lot of vocabulary accumulation. And A-type reading essays may also contain some technical terms, even charts and graphs. Articles usually come from professional academic journals, textbooks, reports, newspapers, etc. The entire Class A reading is composed of three passages, and each Passages examinee needs to answer 10-14 questions, for a total of 40 questions.<\/p>\n

      The IELTS G reading is the same as the A reading, and the sources of articles are mainly from journals, newspapers and magazines. However, the difference between Type G and Type A is that most paragraphs are much shorter and the vocabulary is simpler. The most important thing is that these topics are often related to daily life, especially in the first part of the G reading materials, which are generally taken from advertisements, guides, magazines, notices or employee handbooks. The IELTS G reading is composed of 3 Sections. In Section 1, there are generally 2 to 3 relatively simple articles related to daily life topics. In Section 2, there will be two short essays, which are usually related to work. Finally, in Section 3, there will be a relatively long article that discusses a more academic or abstract topic, and tends to read articles for IELTS A, which is also the most difficult article in the G reading test.<\/p>\n

      Whether it is IELTS Reading A or G, the test time is 60 minutes and 40 test questions. However, the IELTS A reading test consists of three articles, and the G reading test consists of three parts. From this point of view, the IELTS reading G test has more content than the A test article, but the IELTS A reading test has three articles. The total word count of the article is about 2000 to 2750 words, and the total word count of all articles in the IELTS G reading test is about 2400 words. Therefore, it can be seen that although the content of the G article is relatively large, the number of words in the article is not much different from the A article.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
