IELTS Band 6.0 Study Plan (Foundation)
Thời lượng: 6 weeks · Thời gian mỗi ngày: 2 h · Mục tiêu: 6.0
Lộ trình này dành cho ai
You are working toward 6.0 — often the visa or foundation-course threshold. At this level the plan builds comprehension first and adds exam timing only once accuracy exists.
Nguyên tắc cốt lõi
Input alone (memorizing words, watching lessons) stores knowledge; only OUTPUT (dictation, timed tests, speaking aloud, outlining) turns it into a band score. Every day below mixes both — never skip the output half.

Buổi sáng: Read one passage or transcript aloud for 10 minutes before anything else — mouth and ear before eyes.
Trước khi ngủ: Before bed, review the words you collected today from wrong answers (5–10 minutes, no new material).
Tự đánh giá hàng tuần
- Listening: is your score stable or rising? Which section loses the most points?
- Reading: are you finishing in 60 minutes? Which question type costs you most?
- Did you do the OUTPUT work (dictation, outlines, speaking aloud) — or only input?
- Write one sentence: what will you do differently next week?
