I want to study abroad, but my English level is average. Is there any way to improve my English quickly?

If you want to study abroad, you must have a certain English foundation. After all, except abroad, if the language is unreasonable, you really can't move. Get lost, want to ask the way but don't know how to express it; Hungry, I don't know how to express myself when I buy something; Going to school, the teacher can't understand the lecture, which is really a kind of torture. Since it is very important to study English abroad, what standard should the English level reach? As far as I know, students studying abroad generally need IELTS 5.0 -5.5. For undergraduates who go abroad directly to study for graduate students, they generally need IELTS 6.5 or above, famous schools generally require 7 points, and individual majors require 7 points or above in a single subject.

Take Britain as an example. The requirement for English in British universities is that IELTS scores at least 6.5 in listening, speaking, reading and writing, with a total score above 7.0. And some majors with high language requirements even require students to reach 7.5 points. Most of the top eight universities in Australia have raised their admission requirements, and the liberal arts and business courses of master students have reached IELTS 7. It is recommended to start preparing for IELTS or TOEFL 10 several months before going abroad. Specifically, different countries, different schools and different majors have different standards for studying abroad. In short, a slightly better school has higher requirements, so it is definitely beneficial to prepare in advance according to the country and school you want to enter, and try to get more points on IELTS. Even if you go to an ordinary school, you must have certain requirements for English.

I think we need to meet the following criteria first:

1. Listening: able to understand the general meaning of others' speech and be familiar with English accent;

2. Oral English: I can easily express myself in English, and I can communicate with others what I am familiar with and interested in.

3. Reading: You can read basic street signs, slogans, menus, etc. , and have a strong understanding ability;

4. Writing: Have basic expression skills, be able to make others understand, and allow occasional grammatical mistakes.

For students with poor English foundation, the earlier you prepare, the better. Don't ignore the importance of IELTS because you can watch language classes. After all, the school also has requirements for IELTS scores in language classes, with a general total score of 5.5 (not less than 5.0 in each item). Reading and writing ability is also very important, because college courseware is often dozens of pages of English materials, which can be read quickly and then answered, and a lot of content will be written when answering questions. At this time, your vocabulary and writing ability will be tested, so it is still very difficult.

It must be remembered that when studying abroad, if you don't understand and can't speak, you won't even understand the homework assigned by the teacher. There are many groups in foreign classrooms, and other students don't want to be with you. After all, everyone wants to be with excellent people. Even if you reach the level of IELTS 7.0 and enter a foreign school, you need to have a certain language adaptation period. After all, if you suddenly change a language environment, you will definitely be a little uncomfortable, but if your English level is good, this adaptation period will be shorter, and it is the time for rapid growth. So even if the school doesn't require you to think seven points, your IELTS listening, speaking, reading and writing test is better with four seven points. It is relatively easy to study abroad after getting seven points. In short, as long as you do your best, the higher your English level, the better, and the more helpful it will be to your foreign life. After all, when you are in a strange place, language communication is very important and helpful to your study.
