Congratulations to our 3 Keys student Ronaldo, who just got an overall 8 on his computer-delivered IELTS Exam!
Why do you have to know common English names?
Because, on the IELTS Listening test, they will not spell the common names. You are expected to know how to spell them.
Many students think that IELTS is a British-centric exam. That’s not true! There are voices from America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand on the exam.
Thus, you need to prepare for different accents. Watch my video for resources:
Also, watch my last video about British common names!
As you watch this video, treat it like a listening quiz. Pause the video after you hear me say each name, and write it down.
Most common American first names:
James
Mary
John
Robert
Jennifer
Michael
Linda
Most common American last names (some are the same as British surnames, so see the last video for those!):

Comment below- ask me an IELTS question, and I might do a future video lesson about it!
