Hi Pat:
 
The first time I took the IELTS test, my speaking score was only 5.5 and my writing score was just 6. Then I read your books before I took the test for the second time. This time my speaking score is 6.5 and my writing score is 8! I have to say your books helped me a lot! Every time I read them, I felt like I was communicating with you. Thank you very much! I’d like to share my learning experience with all the friends who are preparing for the test now.

I kept listening to BBC every day. This is one of the reasons I did well in listening. What I also recommend for listening is using the listening materials in the Cambridge IELTS series to do dictation. It is very effective.
