This will help you make developing your English-reading skills part of your routine. Each day, reading in English should feel a little more familiar and comfortable. Take at least 30 minutes and preferably an hour to read. You might read the newspaper before you head off to work or on your commute. Or perhaps you’d prefer to relax with a novel before you go to sleep. Since the Academic test is aimed at test-takers hoping to enroll in higher education or professional training programs, the texts on the exam are meant to test if you’re ready for those environments. Since the test will contain the kind of materials you’d encounter in an undergraduate, graduate, or postgraduate program, it’s a good idea to read these types of texts to prepare yourself. The test will contain both descriptive and argumentative materials. For example, you might get a journal article that’s presenting evidence supporting a particular scientific theory. Or, you might have to read a passage from a novel describing the countryside. Since the General test is meant to prepare you for “basic survival” in English-speaking countries, it has a wider variety of texts. Read magazines and pay special attention to the ads. Go to a jobs website like Indeed or LinkedIn and browse the listings. Finally, pick up some novels or nonfiction books at your local library. If you read about things you love, it’ll be much easier for you to get excited about your reading sessions. Write down 5-10 topics you’re passionate about and look for English-language materials on them. Work your way through the list in the months and weeks leading up to the IELTS exam. During each reading session, make note of English words you’ve never seen before. Keep a notebook and English-language dictionary next to you while you read just for this purpose. Write down the word and its definition. You can also copy down the sentence that contains the unfamiliar word.  Especially when you’re learning, you might not be able to record every new word you find in a text. Set a goal of 5 new words per session. At the end of each reading session, take 5-10 minutes to go through your vocabulary notebook and review your list of words. Keep a separate notebook for your questions and answers. Write down 3 main questions and answers after you read each new source. They should help you think about the main idea or purpose of the source, whether it had an argument, and a few key details or facts. For example, you might ask yourself:  “What is the author’s point? Why are they writing this source?” “Are there details that are so important that they would change the story if they were left out?” “In what kind of environment might I encounter this type of reading material?”

If you are low-income and cannot afford to pay the filing fee, you can file a request for a fee waiver, numbered FW-001. You can download an FW-001 here.  You may qualify for a waiver if you are receiving public benefits, if your household income falls below a specified threshold, or if the court finds that you do not have enough money to pay for both your household's basic needs and the court fees.  Be sure to read the Information Sheet on Waiver of Superior Court Fees and Costs (FW-001-INFO) Some counties require additional local forms for a legal separation. Check with your Family Law Facilitator or your county court’s website. You can locate your county court’s website by selecting your county on the California court’s Find My Court webpage. If you are applying for a Fee Waiver, make only one copy of your FW-001 form. You will be filing the original form and keeping the copy for your own records. The FW-001 is confidential and should not be served on the other party.
