<p>I see what you mean. My guess is it means: “Economic

<p>Thanks ma’am for your wonderful tips. I did my speaking

test of 25th and I goofed in part 2. How I forgot some of the points I rehearsed
about the topic baffled me but that is by the way. I hope for a favourable outcome.
These are the questions that I was asked;<br />
PART1:<br />
Describe the place you live?<br />
How long have you live there?<br />
Are you a patient person?<br />
Were you more patient when you were younger?</p>
<p>PART2: CUE CARD<br />
Describe someone you know that is intelligent.<br />
What is the name of the person?<br />
Where did you meet this person?<br />
Give a reason why you said the person is intelligent.</p>
<p>PART3:<br />
Are people in your country intelligent?<br />
Do you think that your country recognise intelligent people?<br />
Do people in your country recognise international movie stars?<br />
Do you believe that children should be allowed asses to computer at early.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � It’s not such a good idea to get

too hooked on remember things you prepared at home. In the test, you must approach
all questions and parts naturally and let your speaking come out spontaneously. Any
preparation prior to the test, needs to be technique and your own personal memories
from your own life. It’s only part 3, that isn’t about you. Part 1 and
part 2 is nearly all about yourself and your own life – so don’t get
too hooked on fancy ideas or anything like that. Your ideas are not marked in IELTS
speaking – they are marked in IELTS writing. And in IELTS writing you have
lots of time to plan ideas.</p>

<p>General Test Topic on April 27 </p>

<p>Reading is as usual time constraining especially the last part which is very
long and you can’t easily find the answers. But the best advice I can give is
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.</p>
<p>Writing Test:<br />
(1)Letter to a Manager about the book you order online but you didn’t
received until now? Give the details of the order , why do you need it now, and
what do you want the company do.<br />
(2) Some people say that it is the responsibility of the residents to maintain the
clean and tidy street while others say it is the government officials. Discuss the
different views and what is you opinion.</p>
<p>Speaking Test:<br />
Part 1: the usual personal question like whats your complete name and where are you
from then directly to the topic. The examiner mostly asked about the work. How do
you go to work? Do you consider taking any other transportation? When you were a
kid how do go to your school? What is the interesting thing about going to school?
What will motivate you at work? What are the qualities of a good colleague? Is it
difficult to work with a friend?</p>
<p>Part 2: Tell about someone you enjoyed working or studying with.<br />
-State the who the person is<br />
-When did you meet the person<br />
-Why do you enjoy working/studying with the person.</p>
<p>Part 3: Is it good to have a leisure area in your work? what will be its
benefit? Is it possible to have it in your current work. </p>
<p>I kinda enjoy talking to the examiner because I felt like I was just talking to
a friend and his approach was also relaxing, I was like really discussing
everything about the work related issue thats currently happening or that I really
experienced so everything just come out normally. So my advice for speaking is just
think that your talking to a normal friend like youre having a regular conversation
and deep breath before you enter the room and everything will all go smoothly.</p>

<p>Writing:<br />
Task 1.<br />
Write a letter to your friend with who you spent a weekend participating party
regarding his relocation to new house. In the letter, you should:<br />
-Describe what you liked the most at their new apartment.<br />
-Why did you like the weekend.<br />
-When and where do you want to meet them again.</p>
<p>Task 2.<br />
Some people think that all teenagers should be required to do unpaid work in their
free time to help the local community. They believe this would benefit both the
individual teenager and society as a whole.<br />
Do you agree or disagree?</p>
<p>Speaking<br />
Part 1.<br />
As usual – Workplace. Your hometown. Why do you like your job? What can help
you to be better at your work? What is the most overcrowded places in your
hometown?<br />
Why are they overcrowded?<br />
Do you think comfortable in the crowd?<br />
When did you last time enjoy being in the crowd? (It was a wierd question, probably
he asked me because I said: “I feel confident in a crowd :)” I replied
back by saying it was on the Easter eve in a train station but I cannot say I
enjoyed this time.</p>
<p>Part 2.<br />
Describe a person you have seen who is beautiful or handsome<br />
You should say:<br />
Who is he/she<br />
how do you know him/ her<br />
why do you think he/she handsome or beautiful</p>
<p>Part 3.<br />
Is it important to wear stylish clothes to look good?<br />
What do you think about being beautiful?<br />
What do you think about top models in luxury journals?<br />
Do you think is it ok to use such models to advertise clothes?<br />
Many debates are going on this subject, what do you think?<br />
What are the landscapes common for your country?<br />
Can cities be more beautiful than a nature? Even some of European cities?<br />
Can some pictures express full beauty of nature?</p>
<p>Reading:<br />
Section 1. Regulation to obtain car license in New Zealand – special rules
for learner and full license.<br />
Section 2. Railways in UK.<br />
Section 3.1. Who is a teacher assistant and what he supposes to do.<br />
Section 3.2. How to speak to a manager about a pay raise.<br />
Section 4. Article about Franck Goddio – underwater archaeologist.</p>
<p>Listening:<br />
Section 1. International club. US woman is thinking about spending holidays
there.<br />
Section 2. Cookery classes with temporary employment after. Map of
facilities.<br />
Section 3. Archeologists found the paintings in caves and a couple of students talk
about it.<br />
Section 4. Lecture about seahorses.<br />
<br />
My advice and experience:<br />
My speaking examiner was brilliant. We had quite informal chat going to the
speaking room, were laughing about IELTS exam, because he asked me if l like to
pass to the exam, I answered yes, so he said me – you can tell me the true, I
also tried it a couple times, so I know your feelings � During my speech, he also
helped me a lot by the expression on his face, I could find out that I’m
losing the point of doing mistakes. So overall, atmosphere was pretty relaxing
which lift me up for a bit. I felt like I found the examiner similar to my
personality � (or may be I just was thinking like that)</p>
<p>The best of the best advice, which I would like to mention, is a sleep well
before the exam. Despite I went to bed around 11:30PM and woke up about 6:30AM, I
actually really slept about 5 hours because I did some IELTS tests on the day
before the exam so I felt like my brain was still working during a sleep, plus I
was really nervous which helps insomnia to suffer me :). It is extremely bad, just
the worst thing I can imagine before the exam. So I do recommend you to find a way
to relax your mind and body in order to be in 100% capacity, refreshed and have a
clear mind during the test. I could not find a way to organize it, hopefully you
will be able to.</p>
<p>Liz if you are still reading my confession � is it ok to use Singular they on
the IELTS exam? will it be count as a mistake?<br />
Can you shed a light on how tests are being assessed? As far as I know R and L
checking are fully automated, so they will be processed by computer which will
recognise hand writing and give a mark? But how speaking are assessed? Will it be
assessed by the same examiner or others? Will it be done at the same day after all
speakings over or how? I found that my examiner was writing something on the paper
during speaking some digits like 10 in one column, 11 in another one. What do they
mean? � Forgive my curiosity, I just cannot wait for the results and it is really
interesting �</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � The examiner who conducts your speaking

test is the one who decides your score. At the end of the test, after you walk out
of the room, the examiner will decide your band score and write it down. It is only
at the end of the test that the examiner knows what score you are because it is
based on your overall performance, not on each part. Any notes the examiner makes
on paper while you are talking is not related to your score and you definitely
shouldn’t pay attention to it. Numbers relate to timing – nothing you
need to worry about. About using singular they in writing – no problem �

<p>Thanks for sharing � Sounds as though you enjoyed the

speaking test which is important. Being interrupted is not about the examiner being
nice or not – it is a usual part of most speaking tests. It is something that
everyone should be prepared for – if it doesn’t happen or if it does
happen has no bearing on your score or on how nice the examiner is.</p>

<p>Hello Liz,</p>
<p>You’re doing a wonderful job through this website and it is extremely
useful.<br />
Thank you so much for all the help.</p>
<p>I had IELTS GT CDT on 25/4/2019 and these are the questions I got for
writing.</p>
<p>Task 1:</p>
<p>Someone has returned your bag with all its belongings that you recently lost.
Write a letter to thank that person.</p>
<p>thank him/her<br />
explain how you left your bag<br />
explain why its belongings were important to you</p>
<p>Task 2</p>
<p>One of the best methods to motivate and encourage workers is to pay them
according to what they produce or sell.<br />
Do you think this is the best method? Give relevant examples from your
experience.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Dear Liz,<br />

I also got the same set of questions mentioned above!<br />
One doubt though..<br />
During the start, my examiner asked me..what should I call you?..and as it was just
the start…I was very nervous and said…<br />
‘Anything…shruti is also fine’<br />
Is it inappropriate? Have I made a blunder!�<br />
Otherwise the test was fine. The examiner was really nice and comforting.</p>
<p>PS : Your work is amazing!!! Keep it up.</p>

</div>
<p>Did you make a blunder? No, not at all. It’s a

completely natural way to answer that is 100% appropriate. It’s an informal
speaking test and that works perfectly. But the problem I’m worried about
is… did that affect your confidence for the rest of your test? Were you
worried about it? Hopefully, you didn’t let it affect you. Rest easy now and
look forward to your results �</p>

<p>Hi Liz,<br />

My L,R and W Test is on 27th April and i would like to ask in your READING TIPS
VIDEO, you say to take time reading and analyzing the question statement, while we
have one hour for three passages. How can we manage that time?</p>
</div>
<div class="reply">
aria-label='Reply to Nick'>Reply</a> </div>

<img alt=''
<span class="says">

</div>

</div>
</div>
<p>You have one hour to find 40 answers. Analysing the question

will help you locate answers quicker and choose the right answer. Your aim is not
to understand everything, it is simply to locate information and choose correctly
– without analysing the question enough you won’t have prepared
paraphrases (this will mean it takes longer to find the information in the passage)
and you won’t have analysed the meaning enough (so you might choose the wrong
answer). It is a question of correct practice before your test.</p>

<p>No, nothing can affect your score except the English language
you produce. But to save paper and resources, I suggest people use the paper given
for notes and underlines, not the cue card.</p>

<p>I had speaking test on 23rd April 2019.I would like to share
some questions based on my memory.<br />
Part 1:<br />
can you tell me your name?<br />
where are you from??<br />
are you a student or do you do a job?<br />
did you like everything about your college or wished to change something?<br />
There were more questions but I forgot.</p>
<p>Part 2:<br />
describe a person who is doing something to protect the environment.<br />
Who he/she is?<br />
what does he/she do?<br />
what is the difficulty in doing so?<br />
I was really confused because at that moment not a single person popped into my
head and I gave a fabricated answer out of imagination.He said can you tell me more
about the person?I said I can’t? later I thought I had prepared well for that
topic.I regretted because there is a businessman saying no to plastic bags and
encouraging recyclable bags in his supermarket and building parks as a part of
corporate social responsibility.I could elaborate a lot about him.So I suggest
everyone please prepare well on recent topics as I knew that topic was asked
earlier recently.<br />
part 3:<br />
what can an individual do to protect environment? I could tell a lot but I missed
out points like limiting use of private vehicles , maintaining gardens, use of
recyclable materials.<br />
Why don’t politicians care much about environment?<br />
do you think nations must cooperate to protect environment?<br />
What are the main environment problems?</p>
<p>my rest exams are going to be held tomorrow.Please advise me what should I do
day before exam.I find reading quite challenging and can’t manage time
otherwise I could fare well.</p>

<p>I think you’ve just explained the problem yourself

– you are a language teacher. Most people with native or similar level of
English, enter the test feeling confident in their English but without having
understood the marking criteria or the band score requirements enough to give the
examiner what they need to see to be given a higher score. This is more common than
you might imagine. I’ll email you about this further.</p>

<p>Hi Liz ,<br />

my speaking text is tomorrow 24th April and I’d like to ask if I have to
follow the guidelines sequentially on how to answer the speaking text questions
eg ” the what, where , when and how’s” Or can I answer it the way
it suits me but still answer the question according to the guidelines expected of
me? Also can I use short words like “I’ve ” instead of ” I
have”<br />
You’re really doing a spectacular job Here.<br />
Thanks</p>

<p>There are no questions on the cue card. You do not need to

answer anything. There are prompts to guide you and it is your choice how to use
them. Following the order is a good thing because it creates a clear framework and
order. Furthermore, the examiner is expecting the information in that order.
However, it is your choice and doesn’t affect your score if you change it.
Just make sure it is coherent – that it doesn’t jump about from one
thing to another randomly. Also make sure you add more – a lot more. Yes, you
can use contractions. See this page: <a href="https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-help-faq/"

<p>Hi Liz, am quite nervous. Just concluded my general speaking

test. The question is nothing like I imagined. The interviewer had to interrupt and
rephrase a couple of times. I lost confidence most especially because of her
countenance.<br />
Questions are<br />
Part 1 where do you live. What do you think about national leaders and more
questions.<br />
Part 2 cue card. Describe an important decision you made with help of someone. She
interrupted alot.<br />
Part 3 can’t remember.</p>
<p>What do you think Liz. Is this normal?</p>
</div>

</div>
</div>
<p>Thanks for sharing � In part 1, the examiner will normally

interrupt your answers. In part 2, you have 2 mins to talk and they cannot
interrupt you during the time you are talking. They can and must stop you when 2
mins is up. These are the rules of IELTS and no examiner can change them.</p>

<p>April 13th<br />

Academic<br />
——-<br />
SPEAKING:<br />
– Part 1: at school, what is the thing you struggle most with? How did you
overcome it?; What is your favourite movie star? Do you often see movie stars in
your country?<br />
– Part 2: talk about your perfect, ideal house and why you think it’s
perfect for you<br />
– Part 3: environmentally friendly technologies usage at houses; the
differences between living in a house and a flat; advantages and disadvantages of
living in an apartment<br />
TIPS: recently, IELTS speaking tests mainly focus on social problems (things like
public transport, etc)<br />
———<br />
LISTENING:<br />
– I think the listening test is quite easy for me. Personally, I did very
well on Section 4 (which is supposed to be the hardest) but missed one answer on
Section 1.<br />
TIPS: – If necessary, you can email the IELTS centre that you’re taking
the test, express your concerns and ask them to leave a note for you to sit closer
to the speaker (if the centre only offers speakers but not headphones)<br />
– Be very mindful when you are required to circle TWO answers in the multiple
questions section<br />
– A website that I use and find very helpful in practicing is
ieltsonlinetests.com, go there and you won’t regret it.<br />
———–<br />
READING: the 3 paragraphs were long and a bit bulky, so DO read them as fast as you
can. I’m a fast reader, nevertheless still struggled to manage the
time.<br />
————-<br />
WRITING:<br />
– Task 1: I was given 2 college diagrams (maps) in the present days as well
as their plans in the future.<br />
– Task 2: More and more people are becoming seriously overweight. Some people
say that the price increase of fattening foods will solve this problem. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?</p>

<p>I had my computer based gt exam today </p>

<p>Speaking part 1 was about work, sleeping hours and cooking.<br />
Cue card: something you taught to a younger person.<br />
Part 3 was mainly about skills that children should learn before school.</p>
<p>I did really good in part 1 and 2, but i had a complete mind block in part 3. I
made some mistakes and i couldnt think of good ideas. I m not sure if this will
greatly affect my score. Please advise. </p>
<p>Writing task 2 was a discussion essay. It was about ppl should be to drive at 18
or 25 years old. </p>
<p>Writing task 1 was a formal letter to an hotel manager asking about a party you
want to arrange for somebody you know.</p>
<p>Typing was much easier than writing for me, and i was able to revise and read my
essay a couple of times.<br />
Good luck everyone.</p>

<p>I was stuck in 6.5 writing score, and this was my 7th attempt. </p>
<p>I am truly appreciative to you Liz. I would have never scored 7 without your
advanced writing videos. They are absolutely useful and comprehensive, and they
give clear structure to follow. </p>
<p>My message to future test takers: follow liz’s structure and advice,
include different types of sentences in your writing to boost your grammar score
and try the computer-delivered ielts (it was much easier for me). Don’t give
up ppl!</p>

<p>Hello Liz,</p>
<p>Thanks so much for your page, it was very helpful during preparation.<br />
So, here are my questions for the Academic Module:<br />
1) Listening: a young man being interviewed about the town he lived in<br />
a man talking about a vehicle sale/market and how and where
to find what on<br />
a map<br />
two students talking about a plant and how it affects the
environment<br />
a scientist talking about how people might have traveled from
Asia to America<br />
in ancient times and setteled down</p>
<p>2) Reading: one text about eating, food and celebrations in ancient Rome, one
text about optimism and psychology and science thereof, one text about using old
diaries and records of the life cycles of plants and animals and how they are used
by scientists today to research climate change</p>
<p>3) Writing: describe how a TV center has changed over ten years according to two
maps<br />
an opinion essay about how parents and teachers believe that children should be
supervised in their activities most of the time whereas others believe that kids
need more freedom</p>
<p>4) Speaking: I had a very nice examiner. My questions were: about my job and how
I get to work, about handwriting and if I liked two write with my hand. Then I had
to prepare and talk about a situation where I didn‘t have enough time to finish
something. After that she asked me about how and why people today seem to have less
time today than some years/decades ago.</p>
<p>I hope it helps. I didn‘t find it that hard but it also wasn‘t an easy breezy
thing either.</p>

<p>What I forgot: I invested some time in finding a pencil I

liked to write with and a good eraser only to find out at the test venue that we
were not allowed to use our own stuff and had to use the pencils and erasers that
were given to us by the test center. And I really didn‘t like these! I might be a
bit strange concerning my pencils and pens but I like to use stuff I‘m comfortable
with in exams. Don‘t know if anyone else can relate to this though.</p>

<p>Personally, I fully understand. Pencils are not all the same.
Some are easier to write with than others.</p>

<p>One experience I would like to share is about preventing

smudges on the answer sheet due to eraser marks. To prevent unsightly eraser marks,
I found it helpful to rub off lead residue on the eraser surface by rubbing it off
on the question paper or on my pants. I did this while I was listening to
instructions. The test center initially provided 2 pencils and a used eraser and at
the end of the reading test an IELTS staff member went around offering more
pencils. I requested 2 more for my writing test. I had about 280 words on Task 1
and about 310 words on Task 2. I used all 4 pencils until they were blunt. The lead
was really soft, there was shallow tapering on the newly sharpened pencil tips, and
I used a lot of pressure while writing. I hope that would help on the mechanics of
pencil writing and erasing on the IELTS.</p>

<p>Hi Liz, been using your website and resources for a couple of
days and i tried using all the tips and tricks you have shared so thank you!!I had
my speaking exam today and I am a fluent English speaker but knowing that I will be
tested on fluency and vocabulary is quite unnerving. I tried to be as fluent as
possible however I realise I did repeat a lot of vocab. How much will that affect
my grade?<br />
For part 1 I was asked about whether I work or study and whether I like parks or
gardens.<br />
Do I prefer open parks or parks with leisure facilities.<br />
Part 2 was about where I find it easiest to study and why<br />
Part 3 was about whether academics is better than experience for getting a
job.<br />
Hope this helps other IELTS candidates �</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � In speaking, it is perfectly normal to

repeat words – it doesn’t affect your score. The score for vocabulary
is about the range you use in different topics, not about how many synonyms you
use. Speaking naturally and with fluency is the aim. Remember this is an informal
speaking test and the marking criteria are not the same as IELTS writing.</p>

<p>Hi Liz,<br />

I had my speaking exam last week for IELTS General Training.<br />
Section 1:<br />
Tell me whether you study or work. Tell me about your work<br />
Do you enjoy your work and why ?<br />
Do you look at sky?<br />
Do you prefer sky at day or night?<br />
Do you have any particular place in your house where you can see the sky?<br />
What do you enjoy most about sky?<br />
Do you use to see sky when you were kid?<br />
Section 2: Tell one instance when you receive a bad customer experience in a
restaurant?<br />
Cue card: 1- When it happened? With whom you were? What you did about it<br />
– I explain the restaurant where it happened and with whom I was. How was I
mistreated and what I did about it. But at the end of my speaking I was stopped in
the middle of my sentence. So I just stopped and said Thank you. Did I do something
wrong? Will this affect my score?</p>
<p>Section 3: Mostly question related the customer experience like, reason why
people think that they are getting bad customer service, have you faced bad
customer service during online shopping- how ? , Are people having high expectation
for customer service. I actually find most of the question quite repetitive, so
most of my answer were almost similar. How will it affect my score?<br />
Thanks and Regards,<br />
R</p>

<p>Hi Liz,</p>
<p>Thanks a lot. You don’t know this but i have been a silent reader and your
page really helped me a great deal. i was surprised as to similarities in questions
that i felt relaxed and instantly at home in the first few seconds of the
interview. I had my speaking test today so i would share my experiences as well,
like many before me.</p>
<p>Part1<br />
Do you like your place of work and what do you like about that?<br />
Is there anything you would like to change about your work place and what is that?
</p>
<p>Part2<br />
Name someone you know who is doing something good about the environment<br />
i) Say who the person is. ii) How he/she does this. iii) Challenges he has
experienced in the process of doing this.</p>
<p>Part3<br />
Name a serious environmental challenge that you can think of and why?<br />
Do you think international organizations or nationals has responsibility towards
address these challenges.</p>
<p>N/B: the questions aren’t recanted word for word, just wanted to give a
general feel of the questions and hopefully it helps someone as other contributions
did help me. like a great woman always “sharing is caring”.</p>
<p>Good Luck Folks.</p>

<p>Took the GT Test on April 6. </p>

<p>Writing Task 1 – A item of clothing you purchased but found some issues
with it once you returned home. Describe – what the item was, what were the
issues, and what you expect the store manager to do.<br />
I wrote about a 3 piece suit because if I had written about a shirt or a pant, how
much could you really write to describe the product. Or how many issues can you
have with a single shirt. With a 3 piece suit I could describe all three items
separately and mention different issues with each. Hope a 3 piece suit counts as
an item of clothing.</p>
<p>Writing task 2 – Should people get a job right after school or should they
attend university. Discuss both and give your opinion.</p>
<p>Speaking Part 1: Where you live, what you like about the area. What you dont
like about it. Do you like pets, which kind do you like, which ones you dont.
Handwriting vs typing. Handwriting analysis.<br />
Part 2: A beautiful/handsome person you have met. Where you met them. Their
personality. I spoke about a film actress and told the examiner I have not actually
met the person but have seen them on TV in Live TV shows or press conferences.</p>

Is it a positive development or negative development? </p>

2. Do you know people living in that area. 3. How often do you cook. 4. Do you

<p>Hi Liz, thank you so much, your website helped me a lot.<br />
I had my speaking test and L, R, W test at 6th April.</p>
<p>As I remember, this is my Academic Test:</p>
<p>Writing:<br />
Task 1:Graph about overweight men and women in Australia between 1980 and 2010.
Compare and summarize!</p>
<p>Task 2:People realize the importance of natural world.<br />
What the reason?<br />
How can increase people knolwledge?</p>
<p>Liz, what should the idea that I put in details body 1 and 2 in task 2? Because
I have little doubt with my answer.</p>
<p>Speaking:<br />
Part 1<br />
About hometown,<br />
Why do you live in your town?<br />
How do you feel live in that town?<br />
What do you like in your town?<br />
Do you know people who live near you?<br />

Talk about sport,<br />
What most popular sport in your country?<br />
what sport do you like?<br />
Do you like sport team or individu? Why?<br />
Who are your favorit sport star? Why?</p>
<p>I think, my examiner give me alot of random topic in part 1, I don’t know
why. But i can answer all of that clearly. What’s wrong, Liz?</p>
<p>Part 2<br />
Card:<br />
Describe teenager that you know.<br />
Who is he/her?<br />
Why do you choose that person?<br />
What kind of person he/she is?<br />
Explain her positive value</p>
<p>Part 3<br />
How yong people respect to elder people in your country?<br />
What the difference between children and teenager?<br />
Do you think that teenager are enough to think in the right way?<br />
How can the school educate student to have attitude?</p>
<p>While I speaking, the examiner often cut my answer. Is that bad for the result?
</p>
<p>Sorry, for listening and reading, I can’t remember the details.</p>
<p>Thank you, Liz.<br />
And, good luck with high band score, Guys.<br />
Please, also pray for me, I just need band 7, with minimum 6 each session.

<p>I took the same exam at the same date as well.<br />
Task 2<br />
Today, many people have little knowledge about the importance of natural
world.<br />
What are the reasons for this?<br />
How can we solve this problem?<br />
I found it was quite difficult, and I spent around 10 mins on planning, brain
storming part is very hard as well cause I seriously have not much ideas why…
so I managed to give some reasons, for example, it’s because people are more
interested in enjoying their own material lives and chose to ignore the natural
world around us. Another reason is there is not enough information or education
provided to the general public by the government to encourage people to get
involved more in protecting natural world.<br />
Also, I give the solutions as: 1. educate people at their young age such as put
more information regarding to natural world into children’s study book; 2.
Encourage families with children to go out more and have closer contact with the
wild world.<br />
I felt I was out of ideas on this topic and could you give me some advice on this
topic… thanks a lot Liz</p>

<p>Your ideas are absolutely fine. Why are you worried? Your
ideas do not need to be exciting or ground-breaking, they just need to be relevant
and well explained. Your reasons are certainly relevant. Another reason is that
many people live in urban areas which are not designed to encourage wildlife and
have not allocated space for nature, such as parks or gardens. This could actually
also lead to a solution of better planning in urban areas.<br />
Your solutions are clear and distinct which is good. Another solution is to involve
the media. In the UK, we have amazing wildlife programs that encourage children and
parents to get involved in nature by giving them projects for their garden and
suggesting ways they can make a difference. The programs are incredibly well filmed
and presented by people who are enthusiastic and good at communicating to a broad
age group from 5 years old – 60 plus.<br />
Good luck with your results �</p>

<p>Hi Liz,</p>
<p>Hope you are well and heading towards Sunday! �</p>
<p>I had my Listening, Reading & Writing sections. L & R sections were easy
and I am positively thinking to have a good scoring in both. In Writing the
questions were:-</p>
<p>Letter – to friend whom you are coming to meet after some time as you
shifted to other location for job. Tell him about your current Job, tell him about
your stay plan and tell how you are going to make arrangements meet him.</p>
<p>Essay – weddings are more expensive in some countries in present in
comparison to the past. What is the reason behind this? Is this a positive or a
negative development?</p>
<p>Is this an opinion essay? I have not given my opinion in this as it has not
asked me.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br />

your opinion if it is positive or negative (similar to agree or disagree) –
that would be the second body paragraph.</p>

similar – the marking isn’t the same as writing. In writing, you should
not repeat information because it affects your score for Task Achievement or Task

<p>Dear Liz,</p>
<p>Thank you for all the tips you have shared to us, which were very useful. Today
(04 April) i had the Speaking test. After i finished the test, i looked to the
white paper of the examiner where some number were written in this order: (from the

<p>Examiners make notes mainly of seconds and minutes. Any

numbers have nothing to do with your score. All IELTS candidates should not pay any
attention to what the examiners jots down on paper. Your score is not decided until
after you walk out of the room. The examiner doesn’t make notes of scoring
during the test because the results are based on an overall performance and not on
each part.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � Pauses and self-correction are part of

the band score for fluency which is 25% of your marks. But even so, your score will
be based on your overall performance, not just one individual questions and
answers. Good luck with your results �</p>

<p>Liz, I laughed out for a question is it wrong.<br />
I corrected and reused some words while speaking and I was speaking until examiner
said exam over thank you. Are these going to be a problem for me in marking?</p>
<p>Is it also fine for an examiner to start exam right from the moment we enter
into the room? Earlier I had chance to relax for a min and examiner will ask for my
consent to begin exam.</p>
<p>And many thanks Liz, I practiced and practiced alot with your speaking
questions, so it was easy to do it in exam.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � It’s fine to laugh. The speaking

test is completely informal. It is also normal to use the same words in the
speaking test. Some examiners start directly and some not – there is no set
standard for this. The standard starts once the ID check begins and then when the
recording is switched on.</p>

<p>Today was my Speaking Test. Firstly I want to Thank L8z and
everyone who wrote about the latest exam questions because some of them Helped me a
lot today. I am a bit sad and worried because in my Cue Card the question was Talk
about a person you never met but want to know more. I talked about Julia Roberts
her movies prices and some donationes she has made but I didnt say something like
what i want her to know about her. Is that going to affect my score ?</p>

<p>HI Liz,</p>
<p>I took my speaking test today..<br />
Intro questions were about locality i am living right now.<br />
While answering one of the questions, I totally forget about the question and half
way through I asked to repeat.<br />
Is it ok to do this? I am freaking out right now.</p>
<p>In Cue card : she asked me to describe a time when I felt cheated.<br />
This I answered well.</p>
<p>and follow up questions were on truth and lies.<br />
1. Is it ok to tell white lies?<br />
2. how a person may feel if she/she finds out that you lied?<br />
3. what are the negative effects of telling lie?<br />
I forget rest of them. But there were many.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � It is 100% fine to ask the examiner to

repeat the question. The examiner will also allow for nerves. Your score will be
based on your overall performance throughout the whole test, not on one
question.</p>

<p>Dear Liz<br />

You are amazing ! I am watching your videos and reading your blog to prepare for my
IELTS after a friend who is a IELTS trainer recommended it to me ! Your tips very
helpful especially for non-native speakers of English !<br />
I just gave my General Speaking Test this morning.</p>
<p>Part 1:<br />
Mostly questions related to my house, the area where I currently live followed by
some questions related to films and filmstars. This part felt quite simple and went
by like a breeze. </p>
<p>Part 2:<br />
Describe a dish which is usually prepared on special occasion.<br />
What is it<br />
When is it prepared<br />
How is it prepared </p>
<p>Although it seem simple enough, I do not think I performed very well. I started
talking and suddenly got very nervous because I realized the Examiner is not
looking directly at me. She kept looking down in her notebook. For some reason I
lost my track of thought and started mumbling my sentences. I did talk continuously
2 mins but I was off-topic for the most part. </p>
<p>Liz, will I loose my marks for this? I am worried that my average score will go
down because unlike in Part 1 & 3, I could not use any good vocab or phrases in
Part 2. I was just holding my breath while words came out of my mouth. </p>
<p>Part 3:<br />
A range of questions related to food trends and how people in recent times have
started growing their own food. It was like a discussion on organic farming and
organic cooking methods.</p>
<p>I felt I did well on Part 1 and Part 3 moreover because I felt confident that I
had the examiners attention as she kept looking at me and changed her facial
expressions along with everything I said. But I lost my calm during Part 2 as I got
the feeling that I lost her attention because she did not look up at me even once.
</p>
<p>I am sharing this experience here so that other fellow test takers can be
prepared for this possibility. Keep talking and do not get anxious if the examiner
does not look up at you. Do not let the nerves take over…. it happens….
it happened to me � </p>
<p>Good Luck!<br />
Thank you Liz… you are a great tutor !</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � Your final speaking score is based on

your overall performance and not on one part. If your confidence failed you, the
question will be how did it affect your English language. But even so, your score
will be based on your general level of English overall.<br />
It is really important that people are prepared for examiners having slightly
different reactions. Some will smile, some will not. Some will be encouraging with
body language, some will not. Some will hold your eye so that you feel you are in a
conversation, others will not. You need to enter the test determined that for 14
mins, your English will not be affected by any behaviour from the examiner. This
requires preparation and determination.<br />

<p>Hi Liz, </p>

<p>I have completed my speaking test today (27/3/2019). I felt I was able to extend
my answers, couple of places I stuttered and couple of places I knew I did mistake
but I did not correct it. I said “is nightmares” instead of “are
nightmares”, I used to hardly instead of hard, which is entirely wrong
(hardly means entirely different but on the flow the word I spoke was wrong , I
should have said hard). Apart from these, I believe most of the parts are okay. I
spoke until the examiner stopped in the part 2 section. The topics were really
unusual or tough to think.</p>
<p>Part 1: </p>
<p>Where do you live? Why is it good to live there?<br />
What are the problems in your area which could be improved?<br />
Patience:</p>
<p>Have you ever been waiting patiently and how it feels?<br />
Are you a patient person usually?<br />
Have you been the same way in your childhood?<br />
Is it important to be patient? why ? why not?</p>
<p>Crowd:<br />
Which places are more crowded in your city?<br />
How do you feel about crowd wherever you are going?<br />
Have you thought about living in scarcely populated area? why?<br />
What are the advantages of living in less populated area? </p>
<p>Part 2:<br />
Describe a situation where you intended to do something and did not had enough time
to do so?<br />
explain when and what you were doing?<br />
what actions you took on this situation?<br />
<> I was not looking at bullet points while preparing my answer, because I
knew this is tough to explain for 2 minutes, so i concentrated on my story related
to main topic. </p>
<p>I chose exams and my slow writing situation in childhood, how i corrected it etc
for 2 minutes. (I believe, because I was speaking till examiner stopped)</p>
<p>Follow up question was also there regarding this. Did you informed anyone else
about this situation?</p>
<p>Part3: </p>
<p>Time pressure related questions.<br />
Do people manage time efficiently?<br />
How can they improve?<br />
Do Older people take more time to do certain tasks?<br />
Should people take out time for relaxation? why?<br />
In the future, will people face same time pressure related problems? Why?<br />
Do people need to manage work and personal life?<br />
Why people fail to do so? and how can they do it?</p>
<p>Though, I was confident while coming out of the test. I am skeptical on my
score, as I more and more think about it and few mistakes i have made. I need a 7
atleast, hoping for it. Examiner gave a handshake to me after the exam, not seen
anytime in my previous attempts of IELTS. Examiner was rushing up to move to next
questions in Part 3 also, which was sometimes distracting for me.</p>

<p>Hi Liz, </p>

<p>I am very happy to have achieved my results today. L – 8.5 R -8 W -7 S-7.
Overall 7.5<br />
Your website helped me a lot with respect to every aspect of the test.<br />
I took your advanced writing essay course, which was excellent for understanding
how to write all types of essays. Though, I was believing on higher score after I
finished my exams (7.5 or so), I am happy with 7 as it is sufficient for me to
apply for visa.<br />
Thanks a lot again � I have always seen successful results posted by others in
this blog. I have always wished one day I would also share such good news and it
really happened �</p>

<p>Dear Liz,</p>
<p>Ive completed my IELTS speaking on 26th March 2019. </p>
<p>Part 1:<br />
Which part of your city do you reside currently?<br />
How long you’ve been residing in this location?<br />
What kind of improvisation should we do to your current locality?<br />
It is preferred by tourists?<br />
Are you a patient person?<br />
If not why?<br />
What should an anxious person do to overcome their anxiousness?</p>
<p>Part 2 :<br />
Talk a free day from work or study which you had recently.<br />
– What did you do?<br />
– How was it different ?<br />
– Why was it special?</p>
<p>Part 3 :<br />
Lets talk about movies</p>
<p>Who is your favorite actor?<br />
Why?<br />
Do you think any Hollywood actor can do well in Indian movie?<br />
Would you like to be an Actor? �</p>
<p>Lets talk about leisure..</p>
<p>Is a free time / leisure important to a person? why?<br />
Adult’s leisure time has changed over time?<br />
Is the leisure time and activities done by men and women are different?<br />
What do people do in their leisure time in your city?<br />
Would you like to have another free day as we discussed in part 2 ? � </p>
<p>Quite honestly, my speaking exam went like a blur. I told myself to remain calm
however I sounded so ‘high’ most part of the session. Can you believe I
told the examiner I want to be an actress if given an opportunity! LOL For those of
you prepping for Speaking IELTS, I encourage you to prep well and just go with the
flow and enjoy the conversation. Good luck!</p>

If you speak and chatter, it’s a good thing. Always be natural in your test.
It is an informal speaking test and being friendly and open is the best way. Good

<p>Hi liz good day .<br />

I just want to share my experienced in taking the exams<br />
Listening questions: beechen festival, music and psychology and advertisement</p>
<p>Reading : impact of noise , new ways of learning , and about the screen in the
future</p>
<p>Writing task one a land in 1980 and 200 before and after the building of
hydroelectric dam<br />
Task 2 : in the future there will be higher number of old people than the younger
ones , is this a positive or negative development </p>
<p>Speaking : travel, handwriting and transportation<br />
Part 2 : a beautiful or handsome person you know<br />
Part 3 : about beautiful people and clothes </p>
<p>In speaking i was able to answer all the questions however in part 2 , my
mistake is that i did not take a look on the ff. Questions like who the person is ,
or why u think he is handsome , . What i did is that i keep on talking and
talking . I dont know whats the meaning of it but my examiner is smiling at me and
i consume the 2 mins of answering the part 2 . Aside from that were laughing all
the time .<br />
Do you think liz it will affect my scores in part 2 since i did not take a look at
the other questions ?</p>

<p>Hi Liz,</p>
<p>I had my LRW exam yesterday and had my speaking test on earlier in March.<br />
Thanks for all the videos you have posted, especially the Advanced writing task 2
videos that have helped me a lot.</p>
<p>Here are the questions asked:</p>
<p>Speaking<br />
Part 1<br />
Why did you choose to live there?<br />
What do you like about the place?<br />
Which is the popular sport in your country?<br />
Who is your favorite sport person?<br />
Here I had to tell her that I am not fond of Cricket which is a popular sport. I
spoke about a body builder, not sure if I would be marked down as body building is
not considered as sport by many.<br />
Would you like to go and visit Olympics?<br />
Part 2<br />
What games did you play as a child?<br />
Whom did you play with?<br />
Where did you play?<br />
Part 3<br />
Do you prefer comfortable shoes or fashionable shoes?<br />
Do you think there should be competition in business?<br />
Are people born competitive or they become competitive with time?<br />
Is being too competitive good or bad? Why?</p>
<p>Writing Task 1<br />
You booked theater tickets in advance. Write a letter to your friend to let him
know you would not be able to make it. Explain:<br />
Apologize<br />
What the problem is<br />
What can be done with the tickets.</p>
Working from home<br />
Advantages and disadvantages.<br />
This was my favorite topic so it turned out to be easy.</p>
<p>I have a doubt in my listening task answers. I was not confident with my
handwriting when I wrote the numbers, for example: I wrote in my answer sheet as
15/Fifteen and 12/Twelve , I hope this is not considered as incorrect :-(. Please
let me know if I am wrong as I am very tensed now.</p>
<p>Thanks<br />

<p>Thanks for sharing � If you are asked to give a number, you

shouldn’t write it twice. You shouldn’t write both the digit and the
word – choose one only. It is possible that it would be marked wrong.
You’ll have to wait for your results to see the impact. Your writing task 2
was a good topic �</p>

<p>Hi Liz, I found your lessons to be very helpful during my

review, so here I am trying to give back �</p>
<p>I took General training IELTS exam last week –</p>
<p>Speaking:<br />
1st part was about what I do (study or work)<br />
Favourite color<br />
Is breakfast important to me</p>
<p>For the 2nd part, i was asked to describe a time when i received money as a
gift. I think I was babbling and she stopped me because of the 2 min mark so I did
not get to finish my story… will this affect my score??</p>
<p>3rd part was just some follow up questions abt money, like if it is true that
money equates to power, and if we can live without money etc</p>
<p>Listening – nothing different from Cambridge practice tests. Speakers
spoke at average speed and their accents weren’t that heavy</p>
<p>Reading – last part was about the evolution of navigational tools in
sailing. I found this the most challenging</p>
<p>Writing – 1st part was to write to a friend who is starting an import
export business who asked you for recommendation for a product from your own
country</p>
<p>2nd part – many people today use their phones for sending texts more than
talking.<br />
What are the reasons for thuis?<br />
Are there more adv than disadv?</p>
<p>This caught me off guard bec I was expecting to answer so many questions! I
ended up writing 3 body paragraphs. If you have the time can you comment on the
structure and ideas i used? </p>
<p>Intro – rephrased topic + something abt while there are clearly benefits,
there are also drawbacks</p>
<p>BP1 – Reasons: 1. Convenience 2. I forgot! Haha<br />
BP2 – Advantages: 1. Cut down on communication costs 2. I forgot what i
wrote down again<br />
BP3 – Disadvantages: 1. Could lead to feelings of isolation 2. Social skills
are compromised 3.speaking abilities are not practiced enough</p>
<p>Conclusion – finished it off with saying that there are more disadvantages
than advantages</p>
<p>This was really hard to write for me as the 40 mins i alloted just flew by! </p>
<p>Thanks so much for your free guides again, Liz! Hope someone finds my comment
helpful to them as well</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � Your writing task 2 structure

(paragraphing) is fine, but it will depend on how you approached the task. The
second question is asking for you to choose – which is more? You do need to
give a clear answer about your opinion – ie advantages more / disadvantages
less.</p>

<p>Hi Liz,</p>
<p>I would like to appreciate you so much for your extreme useful website. It
really helped me a lot when I was preparing for my Ielts.</p>
<p>I had taken writing & speaking test yesterday (Academic). It’s my
turn to share my experience, as following:</p>
<p>– Reading and listening: I did not remember exactly. They were similar to
some tests in IELTS Cambridge books., but not as difficult as in these books.<br />
Experience: Listening: do not turn to next pages unless you were asked to so.</p>
<p>– Writing:<br />
+ Task 1: 2 maps of a same land area in 1980 and 2000. Describe what it changed (I
also did not remember the question exactly)<br />
+ Task 2: Many people expect that the proportion of old people will be more than
the young people in the future. Do you think it is positive or negative?<br />
Experience: read questions carefully, spend time to list ideas. Sadly, I spent more
than 30 minutes for the task 1 � and as a result, I did not have enough time for
the task 2.</p>
<p>– Speaking:<br />
+Part 1: Some question about my current living place.<br />
+Part 2: Describe a time when you found something which someone lost<br />
+ Part 3: some relevant question with the topic<br />
Experience: listen to questions carefully, speak naturally, not try to remember
what you prepared.</p>
<p>Honestly, I did not do all of skills well, especially writing and speaking. I
had a lot of mistakes about vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation and ask for
repeating questions many times. I disappointed so much when I finished my speaking
test. </p>
<p>I’m trying to console myself that it’s a good chance for me to gain
experience and know where my English ability is. I will prepare, improve and take
another exam. Fighting!</p>
<p>Note: you should prepare a thick coat, temperature of exam rooms would be very
cold. My hands seemed to be frozen and find it difficult to write.</p>
<p>Good luck, everyone and thank you so much again, Liz.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing both topics and your experience � As you

said, managing time in the writing test is essential. You also pointed out that
people must speak naturally in the speaking test – that is 100% correct. The
temperature in the test room can vary depending on test centre, season, country etc
– people should take layers which they can take off or put on depending on
how they feel – it is crucial that you feel comfortable – it’s a
long test (2 hours 40 mins). Good luck with your results �</p>

<p>General training 23 March :<br />

My speaking test is later.<br />
today’s LWR questions were as follows :<br />
Listening was more about MCQs in the section 4,Qs like, why the teacher chose to
train students, the reason she chose the topic etc. Section 2 was a map about a
fitness centre, finding man’s washroom, locker etc. Section 3 was about naming
authors and list their specialities. Section 1 was fill in the blanks for various
activity tours and what each tour included. I am writing as I remember.<br />
Reading : Passage 1 – City museum tour, Passage 2- AA- AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
Passage 3- Electrician in Canada, Passage 4 – Dreamweavers : about difft
materials and what each company plans to do with high tech clothes. They are used
for space, for controlling devices, learning from spider how to make clothes
without making it go through several process. Using spiders genes in goat and use
their milk to make spider silk.. sounds weird but it was awesome read and also too
easy. Most of us finished it before an hour as we looked at each other faces.<br />
Writing : Task 1 – Aplogise to ur friend as you cant make it to the theatre
with him, give explanation and also tell him what to do with your ticket.<br />
Task 2- many people these days have computer, laptops, telephones at their home for
work. Do you think, working from home has more advantages or disadvantages? Give
reasons.</p>

<p>Hi Liz,<br />

I had the same paper as twinks had on 23rd March 2019 – GT. Just one doubt
– In task 2, it says does working from home has more advantages or more
disadvantages. I wrote it simple as Adv n Disadv, But after coming out of the hall
that was thinking was it an outweigh question since it mentioned the word
‘OR’… if it was, will I lose marks for the same? but in the end,
conclusion i wrote – ‘there more benefits than any disadv it might
have’..something similar line.</p>
<p>Also, I wrote 2 paras of each advn disadv excluding conclusion and intro( total
6 paras). Will this also affect my organization skill marks?</p>
<p>Regards,<br />
Simi</p>

<p>It does require you to decide – this means you need to
give your opinion. However, as long as you gave it eventually in the conclusion,
that will be ok. Don’t worry too much. Advantages should be in one paragraph
and disadvantages in another – that would be logical organisation. However,
you used paragraphs and that is good. You will need to wait for your results �</p>

<p>Liz, I discovered your blog the night before my Speaking test

and I’m very glad I did! I found your Writing tips and model essays most
helpful. Thank you very much!</p>
<p>For Speaking Part 1, I was asked:<br />
– about my hometown and what I like about it<br />
– to describe the seasons in my country<br />
– whether I’d like to experience other seasons<br />
– whether I like wearing sunglasses</p>
<p>Speaking Part 2 – Describe a plant or flower that’s important in my
country.</p>
<p>Speaking Part 3 – Is it important to grow plants? How has society changed
in the way it views farmers?</p>
<p>Writing Task 1 – Compare 2 maps before and after the building of a
dam.</p>
<p>Writing Taks 2 – In the future, there will be more older people than
younger people in most nations. Is this a positive or negative development?</p>

<p>Hi Liz,<br />

I have got a doubt regarding the task-1 for Writing:<br />
You & ur friend booked a theater in advance. you can’t make it<br />
Apologise<br />
Options what can be done with the ticket</p>
<p>My dbt is: i wrote the whole essay imagining as we booked a movie ticket in a
theater in advance .<br />
Does the question mean something else like booking a concert or a play?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
</div>

<p>“a theatre ticket” refers to a play, a

“concert ticket” refers to a concert, a “movie/cinema
ticket” refers to a film at the cinema. Even so, I wouldn’t worry too
much, it would only affect your score for Task Achievement which is 25% of task 1
marks and task 1 is only 33% of your final writing marks.</p>

<p>Hey Liz<br />

Thank you for this amazing website. You are a good human being. We all love you.
You have a very smiling face and that makes us happy when we watch your videos on
YouTube<br />
I had my IELTS speaking test and thanks to your advice to the shy girl, it went
very well. It’s natural to be nervous everyone before exam. Just take a deep
breath before going in and be the best version of yourself for 12 minutes. It will
help you if you relate the questions with your life and speak naturally.
Don’t try to memorize anything. It is not going to help you in any way. Just
read the ideas for questions you can’t relate to your life<br />
Task 1<br />
Do you study or go to work?<br />
What do you like about your subjects?<br />
Is there something that helps you to study efficiently?<br />
How many hours should you try to sleep?<br />
Do you used to sleep more when you were a child?<br />
Do you take a nap in afternoon? How does that affect you?<br />
Task 2<br />
My cue card was Describe a party you recently attented<br />
– Where was it?<br />
– When was it?<br />
– Why did you attend it?<br />
– Describe the party<br />
Task 3<br />
Are family events important?<br />
What are the reasons when families organize a party?<br />
Do families use to spend more time together in past?<br />
Are the reasons for organizing a party same today as compared to past?<br />
What are International events important?<br />
How does the person feel when he is representing his country on global level?<br />
What are the benefits of International events.</p>

<p>Hi Liz,<br />

Thank you for all your support, your hard work on this website is highly
appreciated.<br />
I just had my IELTS test 16 March, General Training, computer-based and I would
like to share the questions that I can recall </p>
<p>Reading: Sec3 was about the Great Smog of London 1952</p>
<p>Writing:<br />
Task 1: you are interested in attending a short course at a college in an English
speaking country:<br />
write a letter to the college administration include what course you would like to
attend?<br />
give details about your educational background and work experience?<br />
what reasons make you choose this college? </p>
<p>Task 2: Direct question.<br />
more people are spending their free time watching movies.<br />
why is this? is it a good thing or bad?<br />
( the ideas for this question was:<br />
BP1: causes: 1- the easily accessible to the movies because of the new
sophisticated technology. 2- the minimum physical demand of this activity<br />
BP2: it is a negative trend: 1- health problems due to spending most of the leisure
time watching films (obesity) 2- Lack of social life which affect society)<br />
what do you think about my ideas?</p>
<p>speaking:<br />
sec 1: question about job and study, favourite colour and why</p>
<p>sec 2: cue card, talk about a teenager you know<br />
sec3: more discussion about teenagers and their influence in society </p>
<p>listening: Section 4 was about animals wildlife in cities </p>
<p>Pros and cons of CB test:</p>
<p>pros: I found this way of the test is very practical for reading and writing, it
is helpful to read the questions on the right of the screen and see the topic on
the left at the same time in the reading part ( I used my finger to follow the text
on the screen because I found this way helps to accelerate my reading speed). And
for the writing, easy correction and typing are very advantageous (please note
that your speed in typing should be adequate). for the listening, you should write
the answers directly because the 2 minutes at the end of the test is just for the
spelling correction.</p>
<p>Cons: 1- practice for the test is very tiring particularly for eyes. I spend
days behind the screen of the computer which eventually ended me at the hospital
emergency due to a severe headache ( so please be sure to take enough breaks while
you are studying)<br />
2- lack of materials online for practice, however you still able to practice using
the traditional way but on the computer and that what I did.</p>
<p>One more note: Could you please add (Direct Question) type to your advance
writing lessons. As I already bought the lessons and they are very beneficial but
the absence of this type of question makes the task harder.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � Your ideas for writing task 2 sound

fine. Also a big thanks for sharing your experience of the computer based test.
Sorry to hear about the problems you had, I hope you felt ok on the day of the
test. It certainly is something people should consider. About the Advanced Lessons,
due to health problems I had to stop making videos. But once I am better,
I’ll continue again – may be next year. Glad my Advanced Lessons were
useful to you �</p>

<p>Hi Liz!<br />

I just had my IELTS Academic test yesterday (14 Mar) and I’d like to thank
you for your tips and lessons on this website. I found it really helpful to prepare
myself and boost my confidence, especially in Writing, before the test day.
I’m aiming to get an overall band score of 7, so finger crossed!<br />
Also, I’d like to share (some of) the questions/topics I got for my exam,
hope this will help those who will have their IELTS exam soon. Best of luck!</p>
<p>Reading<br />
The essays’ topic are about the source of happiness, Gerard Mercator map
projection, and orchid’s cultivation.</p>
<p>Writing<br />
Task 1: flowchart on how to get a driving licence<br />
Task 2: small town center shops are running out of business because rural residents
tend to go shopping in big cities store. To what extent do the disadvantages of
this development outweigh the advantages? (not the exact words but the point of
question is pretty much like that)</p>
<p>Speaking<br />
Sec 1<br />
A brief self introduction (occupation, college major, etc)<br />
Sports (popular sports in your country, preference on group or individual sport,
favorite athlete if any)<br />
Cooking<br />
Sec 2<br />
Cue card–describe an interesting person whom you never met and would like to
meet<br />
Sec 3<br />
I’m not sure how to put it a word, but the examiner pretty much asking about
how you feel and act about your social circle (meeting new people, is someone who
is friendly born with it, etc)</p>
<p>And for listening part fortunately I didn’t find it to be burdensome, so I
believe anyone can nail this part with a lot of practice and be careful with the
instruction and the word limit.</p>
<p>By the way, during the speaking test, sometime the examiner talked too quietly
and I didn’t get it clear on what she was asking, so I asked her to repeat
the question (on the whole interview I counted at least I asked 3-5 times). Will it
be affecting my score? Was it okay for me to do so (I mostly said the word
“Sorry?” after she asked the first time)?<br />
Thanks Liz!</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � It’s fine to ask the examiner to
repeat the question and it doesn’t affect your score. However, if the reason
is that you couldn’t hear her, you should have said “Sorry, could you
speak louder, I can’t hear you properly.” When you do this, it means
the reason is being recorded. Whenever you have a problem in the test, be vocal and
make sure it is recorded. It is always useful for remarking purposes. But
don’t worry about your situation – it’s fine and won’t
impact your score. Good luck with your results �</p>

<p>Dear Liz</p>
<p>I have my IELTS academic tomorrow and I am really nervous about it. I am very
confident in English and usually score 9 in reading an listening. The only thing I
am worried about is my speaking, since I am a very shy person and generally
don’t tend to speak a lot. I am always the quiet one at our table and I just
don’t seem to come up with answers to “irrelevant” questions. Do
you have any tips? I only need a 6.5 and it is really important that I manage to
get this score.</p>
<p>Thanks very much for your help and all the material you provide!!</p>

<p>I don’t usually answer questions like this on this page

– but for you, I will. This is your chance to become an actress for 14 mins
of your life. Walk in with a smile and remember this is a casual, friendly chat
with the examiner.<br />
<strong>Part 1</strong>: I know what you mean about irrelevant questions. Here is
an example “What’s your favourite colour?” Never feel forced to
explain yourself. Instead remember that part 1 and part 2 are mostly about
yourself, your family, your past, your future and your opinions. So, you could
answer “Personally, I like blue. I prefer light blue, like the sky. I like
clothes with that colour although when I was a child I hated it.” – now
you have given just a little bit more information by adding about your past –
you also showed the use of different tenses – win, win � Or you could answer
“I like white. I can’t explain why. I’ve liked it ever since I
was a child” – another great answer. Here is another question “Do
you like to look at the sky at night?”, your answer “I can’t say
I pay much attention, but when I get the chance I love to see the stars.”
– you don’t need to add more. The topic of sky will immediately bring
you to words like: star, moon, clouds, sunshine, rain, storms etc – use those
words to add a bit more. So, you could say “I don’t often look at the
sky unless I notice there are really big storm clouds overhead” – those
topic words are very useful – do you see �<br />
Let’s do another question “Do you like drinking tea?”, your
answer “Not really, I prefer coffee. But most people in my country drink tea
at least five times a day.”. Your answers for part 1 do not need to be long
and impressive – they are simple questions and you give straight forward
answers adding a bit more about yourself as a child, your preferences or what other
people like. This is not going off topic – it’s all fine.<br />
One more question: “do you like sport?” – “No I
don’t, but many people do like it in my country, particularly football”
– a great answer. You answered for yourself and then added a bit more about
other people – all fine. Use the topic vocab: tennis, football, matches,
exercise, muscles, excitement etc. Final question: “Do you live alone”
– “Yes, I do, but I’ve only been living alone for 3 years.”
OR “No, I don’t. But I think I would like to live alone and be
independent” – add whatever you want. there is no right or wrong. So,
the rule: answer directly and add one more thing – your preference, your
childhood preference, other people’s preference, your ideas and don’t
forget = topic vocab!!<br />
<strong>Part 2</strong> – use the 1 min to think of extra things to say
– about your childhood memory, the first time you did something, your ideas,
your dreams, your hopes, compare two things, describe streets, buildings, people,
transport, your opinions, your family’s opinions, popular opinions –
all these things can be added to your talk without any problem and will all help
your score. You do not need to follow only the prompts on the card – add more
and more and more. So … memorise your options and use them in your part 2
talk.<br />
<strong>In part 3</strong>, it’s about world issues. Explain what most people
think and then give examples. Imagine me on your shoulder saying “what do you
mean” “explain it more” or “give examples”. The
examiner doesn’t care what you say as long as you talk. Your answers should
be explained in as much detail as you can – a bit like in your writing task 2
essay. This is the part to impress (unlike part 1 which is quite straight
forward).<br />
So – relax! Sleep well and walk into that test room as an actress with all
these ideas in your mind and the confidence to talk. If you met me, you would not
have a problem talking to me – I’m sure – so just picture me
instead of the examiner. Be chatty.<br />
Don’t worry if the examiner interrupts your answer – it’s normal.
Just listen for the next question and go, go, go �<br />
I hope all this helps you tomorrow. I also hope this helps everyone else who has
their speaking test coming soon �<br />
Shygirl – let me know how it goes tomorrow – we will all be supporting
you �<br />

<p>Dear Liz</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your helpful tips! I’ll try to be another person for
a couple of minutes tomorrow and will definitely let you know how it went!<br />
If I don’t cover all the prompts on the cue card it doesn’t matter,
right? Sometimes the prompts make it harder for me to structure my answer…<br
/>
Anyways, I’ll try to catch some sleep now � </p>
<p>Again, thank you very much for your time and effort! xx</p>

<p>It definitely doesn’t matter not to cover all points.

You decide your own structure and add the ideas and information you want. Just try
to use a good range of English – comparisons, future, past (childhood or your
first memory of something), descriptions of either people or places – and
topic vocab – weather, food, clothes, sport, transport, buildings etc. Part 2
is your only chance to control the content of the test – so use your chance
well – take control and just talk on as many things as you can. It’s
your talk – so do it your way � And remember, it’s informal – so
be yourself. If you want to say “yeah” instead of “yes”,
it’s fine – just talk as you normally talk � Read these comments
before you walk into the test and keep those ideas in your mind – get ready
to win your Oscar for best actress �</p>

<p>Dear Liz</p>
<p>I just finished my speaking exam and feel pretty good � I was quite nervous and
therefore made some stupid mistakes, but overall I was rather fluent and could
speak for the whole 2 minutes in part 2. I even received a thumbs up in the end!
</p>
<p>Speaking and listening went pretty well as well, I am just a bit worried about
the writing: The question was “Do the advantages outweigh etc<br />
I was not sure if I had to state my opinion throughout the whole essay or only in
the conclusion. I followed this structure:<br />
– General introduction<br />
– Body One: Advantages<br />
– Body 2 Disadvantages<br />
– Conclusion: My opinion and why I think the advantages outweigh the
disadvantages.</p>
<p>Is that ok? Thanks again very much for your encouraging words and all your help!
<br />

<p>Hi Liz,<br />

I had my speaking test (GT) 13th March 2019<br />
My topics were:<br />
Part 1 : your name, do you work or study, how long you have associated with this
company, what is the change that you would like to see in your company, what is
your favorite color and why?<br />
Part 2 :<br />
Describe a time when you had searched for a information? When was it? What was the
information you were looking for? How did it help you?<br />
I talked about finding an information on the internet.<br />
Part 3 : what about information available on library and books? How would the
information available on internet help those who have no knowledge of using it? How
will you find out if the information available on internet is genuine?<br />
I think I answered all these well but my only worry is the last question she asked
something related to value of information available and should recordings be kept
of historic events which she repeated twice as I gave an personal example instead
of an historic event. Will this lower my band</p>

<p>Hello, Madam.<br />

I had my speaking exam today, it was my first time (not to mention a mock exam I
took last year). In Part 1 I got q-ns about cooking and sunglasses, my cue card was
about an important decision I made with sb else’s help and finally in Part 3
I was asked q-ns about asking for advice and sth about the way political leaders
make decisions. The examinator was a nice, friendly man. But I really screwed up,
even though I got relatively simple q-ns. My level of English is normal, but I get
EXTREMELY nervous when I talk to strangers + I know that I’m at the exam + I
know that my voice is being recorded. “Taking a new persona” for the
exam didn’t help, I still screwed the test. Throughout my talk I made SO
stupid mistakes (like “an advice”, “in the summer days” and
so on) that I HATE myself now! And the worst thing is that I’m not a child,
I’m 28 and I have a Master’s degree in linguistics. And still I get
nervous and make much mistakes when I use English under pressure. </p>
<p>Anyways, I have my LRW tomorrow and I’d really like to ask you one
question. Am I allowed to flip through the Listening test booklet when the test has
already started? I mean, sometimes I look through the qn-s too fast and I have a
couple of seconds to have a quick look at the q-ns on the next page. So, is it ok
if I turn the page during the listetning session?</p>
<p>Sorry, if I wrote too much. I’m just so disappointed with my performance
that I don’t want to attend tomorrow’s exam…But, of course, I
will.</p>
<p>Thank you for everything you do. This site has been really helpful throughout my
preparation. �</p>

<p>Sorry to hear about your speaking test. I think self

confidence is an issue for you. It’s something you really need to work at.
you always need to remember that it is only 11 to 14 mins of your life and during
that time you can “play act” – be an actress who is confident and
chatty. Also, some people try to imagine that they are talking to me instead and
just enjoy it as a friendly conversation. Any mistakes you make you should ignore.
The examiner doesn’t count each mistake at all and just goes by the general
impression over the whole test. So, individual mistakes are not serious.<br />
For listening, you will be given time to read questions before the audio plays.
They will say something like” now you have time to look at questions 11 to
16. Then you read those questions – underline keywords and see what type of
answer is needed. Never look any further ahead because it won’t help you.
Good luck tomorrow �</p>

<p>Dear Nelly<br />

This was my problem actually a couple of months back. But I made myself somehow to
manage with the next 3 modules. Don’t get upset and do not overthink about
the past. It’s over. You may score good in S, and if you get upset it can
affect your tomorrow’s performance. Stay confident, you will definitely nail
it.</p>

<p>Hi Liz….</p>
<p>The way you teach Ielts is very easy and well understanding and I did my exam
well. Here’s the questions which I was asked </p>
<p>Listening was based on majorly fillups with 6 mcqs and 5 map questions with a
bit of fast speed.</p>
<p>Reading<br />
passage 1 was about Ape Extinction<br />
Passage 2 was on water purification experiment<br />
Passage 3 was on human sleep and dreaming<br />
The format was mostly true false not given, some fill ups, mcqs, complete
sentences.<br />
The level of reading was totally Cambridge.</p>
<p>Writing<br />
Task 1 was a table on four countries giving temporary work to migrants in two years
and it’s ratio with the country’s citizens.<br />
Task 2 was a discussion based asking that some believe films and violent games are
negative influencing while some say it is harmless relaxation.</p>
<p>Speaking<br />
Intro questions were on home and colours and cue card was an interesting lecture
you attended and enjoyed. The discussion followed the questions related to cue
card.</p>

<p>Hi, guys and Liz! I passed Academic module of IELTS in 9th of

March<br />
Speaking<br />
Part 1 was the most long part in as i noticed.<br />
1. Where do u live now? What do u like about this place? What would you want to
change about it in the future?<br />
2. Do you like looking at sky? At what time of day and where and so on…<br />
3. About coffee and tea. Which one is popular in ur country?and so on…</p>
<p>Part 2 the one that i messed up. I recommend all people to be prepared for
topics. </p>
<p>Part 3 seemed to be normal…<br />
Overall time runs really quickly…really</p>
<p>Listening test went really well, nothing new from Cambridge Ielts Books</p>
<p>WT 1 was a bar graph and a line graph for sales and price of tickets for
theatre.<br />
WT 2 was Many countries spent a lot of money for transport systems in urban cities,
while rural transport system is having less money. (Not exactly same words)<br />
What are the problems caused by this?<br />
What are their solutions?</p>
<p>Reading first and second passages were normal, but it was hard to solve third in
20mins., because i spent time more than usual for transfering them to answersheet,
chacking all spellings and so.<br />
Results will be in 13 days. I hope to get at least 5.5( it’s the requirment
for my zero year of Master’s, but if i get higher i will apply to direct
program.</p>

<p>I had my speaking test (academic) today March 8th. It was my

first experience.</p>
<p>The first part was about where I was living now if I like the place and what I
would change. Then, I was asked about the sky, if I like to watch the sky, when,
where, and if I learned about planets at school.<br />
Cue card: Describe a house where I would like to live.<br />
Follow-up question: If I think that someday I could own and live in a house like
that.</p>
<p>Last part about cities and towns. If I prefer to live in a house or an
apartment. Why people are living in cities and why it is difficult to live there.
Then, three or four more questions about that topic. Sadly, I don’t remember
very well the last part. I was so nervous, and I feel that I freaked out.</p>
<p>Overall, was a good experience. The interviewer was kind and gave me time to
answer all the questions. But I am very upset with myself because I prepared all
the topics that he asked me, and I didn’t do as I expected because of the
nervousness and I couldn’t extend the answers in the way that I prepared them
or use a wide range of vocabulary.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � It is important that when you prepare

topics, you prepare only ideas such as your past memories, your opinions, your
future hopes etc. Your answers must be produced naturally in the test room and not
come from memory. Nerves are normal and will affect your performance. For this
reason, some people often take the test twice. Hopefully your results will still be
fine �</p>

<p>Hi Liz,</p>
<p>I got this question today in writing task 2:</p>
<p>The best manager is the one who is friendly and warm to his staff.Do u agree or
disagree.</p>
<p>I had a tough time collecting ideas for it, can you pls help</p>

<p>It is an interesting topic. This is about what makes a good

manager. Here are some ideas:<br />
1) past experience<br />
2) communication skills<br />
3) leadership skills<br />
4) organisational skills & time management skills<br />
5) personal traits: patient, approachable, positive, reliability, a motivator<br />
6) someone who has a good relationship with staff and creates a positive team
spirit<br />
7) a good role model who leads and inspires through example</p>

<p>Hi Liz, </p>
<p>I had my Ielts general speaking test today</p>
<p>Part 1 about place of work, private and public transport, music and musical
instruments.</p>
<p>Cue card: lecture you attended</p>
<p>Part 3: about listening, communication, public speaking</p>
<p>My part 1 was fantastic but, I just ran out of ideas in part 2 and stopped
before 2 minutes, although I spoke when my examiner provoked me to speak more. In
part three also I used repeated ideas and vocabulary.</p>
<p>Just hoping for a decent score.</p>

<p>I have taken my Speaking exam, today on 6 March, 2019</p>

<p>Speaking Part 1:<br />
-what is your name?<br />
-why do you live in Astana city? (I expected that she would ask “Where do you
live?”, but she asked the reason of my living in that city)<br />
-what’s there interesting to do or see in this city?<br />
-where do you work?<br />
-why did you choose that job?<br />
-what’s the typical weather in your city?<br />
-what’s your favourite season?<br />
-what can people do in different seasons in your city?<br />
-how does the weather change in your country?</p>
<p>Overall, there were roughly 12 questions. I don’t remember but this part
of Speaking was on three topics (Current place of living, work and seasons)</p>
<p>Part 2: Describe a part of your country that you find the most interesting</p>
<p>You should say:</p>
<p>-the location of this place<br />
-how do you know this place?<br />
-what’s there interesting to do or see in this part of your country?<br />
-explain why you think it is the most interesting part of your country</p>
<p>Then she asked one follow-up question, but, honestly speaking, I can’t
remember</p>
<p>Part 3: questions related to the topic of “Big cities and small
towns”</p>
<p>-What makes big cities interesting to live?<br />
-Why do most people prefer to move to big cities?</p>
<p>I was asked these two questions, after that the examiner started to ask
questions according to my answers. </p>
<p>I’m worrying about my Speaking result because she interrupted me a lot. I
gave fluent answers without any pauses and also added a lot of idiomatic
expressions, but she interrupted after each of my answers. I know that all of my
answers were ON TOPIC, Sometimes it is hard to answer when you get confused.
Anyway, I perceive this like an experience. </p>

<p>Hi Liz, </p>

<p>I had my test, Mar. 2 – GT </p>
<p>Writing:<br />
TASK 1: The historical building in your place is in a bad condition. Write to the
local government. In your letter write:<br />
– why is the building important<br />
– what is its present condition<br />
– what action must be taken</p>
<p>TASK 2: Today, the younger and older generations are in the same workplace. Is
this more an advantage or more disadvantage.</p>
<p>At first, I really am nervous. But try to talk to other test takers especially
while waiting for your speaking test. This will help you to calm (well it works for
me). And honestly, during my preparation for my test, I watch videos on YT for
speaking. Well, the speaking test is nothing like the ones I’ve watched. You
just have to talk and talk, then you’ll never know it’s time for you to
go.</p>
<p>As for the writing, well the good thing is upon reading task 2, I dived right
ahead with planning my BP1 and BP2.</p>
<p>Tip: See to it that you practice daily on planning, invest a lot of time reading
on topics that test takers posted in this site. If you think you need to purchase
on her advance lessons, do so. It will be worth it. Because seriously this is where
I got all the ideas and techniques in answering both writing and speaking. </p>
<p>Lastly; for you, Liz, thank so much for your genuine generosity of helping us.
We will be forever thankful for the time and effort you tirelessly give.</p>

<p>Hi Liz,<br />

I had my exam today, General IELTS</p>
<p>Listening and Reading were simple.</p>
<p>Task 1 was write letter to friends to say good bye as you were not able to meet
them when you left from abroad and you all were working together in multinational
company there.<br />
-apologize to them<br />
– tell them why u left<br />
– tell them what you’ll miss about them</p>
<p>Task 2 – Doctors in many countries think that people are not doing enough
exercise<br />
What causes this ?<br />
How this can be solved ?</p>
<p>For task 2 I wrote what causes people to not do enough exercise have got used to
sedentary life and they do not get enough time as causes.<br />
Solution as schools should engage to make children aware about benefits of exercise
and government should make people aware about health benefits by exercise.<br />
However now after exam I feel my causes are not relating anywhere to the doctors
opinion and may be considered as incorrect response. Can you please help me to
understand what impact this can have on my score. However, others parts like
structuring, linking words and grammar are done well ..but I missed on response in
a hurry.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � Archaeology is about finding things that

belonged to people in the past. This means it is a related topic. But even so, it
is the examiner’s choice what questions to ask in part 3. Your score will be
decided on your overall performance. Although, part 3 does offer you a chance to
get into more interesting and varied language by dealing with more complex
issues.</p>

<p>Hi Paulina,</p>
<p>Hope you don’t mind me answering for this. It would come under semi-formal
as you know the people(neighbour) you are writing the letter to. If you are writing
letter to a stranger, it is formal and informal would be the letter meant for your
friends.</p>

<p>Hi Siva,<br />

Thanks for your comment. That’s what I thought but was listening to a different
IELTS teacher the other day and the guy said, there’s no such a thing as semi-
formal letter. He said the only difference between semi-formal and formal is the
salutation and the signing off (say: Dear Michael or Dear Mr.Smith and then yours
sincerely,) apparently that’s the only difference. Are you able to guide me here as
I’m a bit confused ♀. Too much info is sometimes not helpful at all.<br />
Thanks</p>
</div>
<div class="reply">

<p>Each teacher categorises letters differently. Some teachers

only recognise formal and informal. Some teachers add a semi-formal style to the
list. I personally do recognise semi-formal letters. </p>
<p>As Siva said, you know your neighbours on a personal level (ie not through work
which is a formal context). This would make it an informal relationship. But the
content of the letter is about a serious matter (not about a party) which would
then make the tone semi-formal. Also you need to consider that you do not
necessarily have a close relationship with your neighbour ( not like with a
friend). That again would make it semi-formal. So, for this letter, I would drop
the formality, but maintain a polite and respectful tone. There is no right or
wrong – no black or white. This is about understanding relationships and
understanding a general tone and style. I would address this letter to either
“Dear Mr Jones” or “Dear John Jones”. I would sign off
“Best regards”. Again, let me stress these are not fixed rules for a
semi-formal letter – it is about how you want to approach this person. You
need to stop looking for fixed structures and fixed language. A high band score
IELTS candidate can be flexible and knows how to adapt language to the topic and to
the context.</p>
<p>I also need to point out that a formal letter can be to someone you know. If the
person is an a position of superiority over you (eg a manager at work or a boss),
then you must use a formal approach. If the person is someone whose name you know,
but you have not met them (eg a hotel manager), you would use a formal approach. If
the person is a stranger (eg local council), you would use a formal approach. If
the person is a work colleague, then they are not in a position of superiority and
you would probably approach it as semi-formal which means not so formal, but still
with respect and politeness. If the person is a neighbour, it means the person is
not your superior and not a stranger, but you also might not have a close
relationship on a personal level – that would make it semi-formal. A friend
is someone you know on a personal, private, close level – informal. You need
to think about the relationship with the person and the purpose of the letter

<p>Hi, given CBT exam on 25th feb </p>

<p>listening is very difficult due to 3 reasons.<br />
1- they dont play example<br />
2- there is no extra 10 minutes so you end up missing answers while typing ( my
typing speed is 40 WPM but still couldnt focus much )<br />
3- Answers could come randomly, For instance you focus on question 5 and answer
will come in the end but you will realise that answers for 6-10 are already given
and recording is about to finish. Also, 3-4 answers are given in single line</p>
<p>writing task – Letter to neighbour for inconvenience caused due to pet
animals<br />
task 2- is self employed better or service</p>
<p>speaking – interesting place in your country</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � You shouldn’t sit on the fence. If

you go for a balanced view, you need to quantify your opinion. In what way is it
positive and in what way negative. You must be very precise to present a clear
position. You should not attempt this unless you have been trained how to do it
properly.</p>

<p>Hello liz<br />

I had the ielts test of 23 february in IRAN, in the begining of listening section 3
, the recording got hung up by the order of IDP and writing test immediately began
instead of reading and at last they played the listening from part 3 again but
skipped the last 6 questions and said the listening of today contained only 34
questions<br />
everyone was pissed since they messed up their reading skill due to lack of
concentration and tierdness<br />
My question is, what are the neccesarry actions need to be done for this matter?
how can we object to this test and it’s result since the results are would not be
even close to what we want then to be?</p>

<p>It sounds like the test was a mess. Personally, I think IELTS
should offer you all a new test for free. If they do not offer you all a free test,
it will show how disinterested IELTS are in standardisation, respect for customers
and commitment to quality. </p>
<p>Certainly you can complain both to your local test centre and to IELTS Official
(it is important that you complain at the highest possible level). I wish you lots
of luck! Make sure your complaint is written with good English to avoid
misunderstanding.</p>

2019.</p>

T/F/N, multiple choice questions<br />

to paragraph, and complete missing words question<br />
Reading 3: voynic manuscript, there are some T/F/N, matching the name of person and
its statement, and some complete missing words question</p>
<p>The writing 1 was about a bar graph of family weekly spending in 2 different
period. Writing 2 was about products is all about good quality and its needs in
people. Advertisement is unnecessary and only a form of entertainment. To what
<p>Speaking is about the environment that I live in, what do I want to change in my
neighbourhood.<br />
Thee second part was about an intelegnce person I know, who is the person, what is
the person doing, and why is the person intelegent<br />
The third part was about hand writing, its relation with intellegence, can teacher
help the development of intellegence, what is a good teacher, who is more important

<p>Hi Liz, I just took my CDT yesterday Feb 19, 2019. The test
runs smoothly for me and here are the topics that I encountered.<br />
Writing Task 2 = “Many people try to look younger than their age. What are
the causes people do this. Do you think this is a good thing or bad thing?
”</p>
<p>Speaking Task 2 = Talk about an intelligent person that you know<br />
Who is it<br />
How did you know him/her<br />
Describe this person<br />
Task 3 = Is your handwriting good?<br />
Do you love recieving handwritten letters? why or
why not?<br />
Why do you think intelligent students are
sometimes get bullied at<br />
school?<br />
Why do people often talk about intelligent people
but seldom talk<br />
about genius people?<br />
Are intelligent people always happy?<br />
What do you think are the qualities that a good
teacher should have?<br />
Do you think that teachers and parents should work
hand in hand in<br />
educating a child?<br />
Nowadays children do not like studying or
learning. why do you think<br />
are the raesons?<br />
How do you think the teachers can motivate their
students to study<br />
more?</p>
<p>Thank You Liz for all the tips and lessons. It helped me a lot during the
exam.</p>

<p>Thank you for all your support. It is very kind of you to spare your precious
time to help us all.</p>
<p>I sat the academic test which was delivered on computer.</p>
<p>Listening: was fairly easy. It’s exactly the same as paper based exam.<br />
Reading: there was a passage on how pencils were first found, second: workjng with
partners. I can’t recall the third.<br />
Writing:<br />
Task 1: two plans of a museum before and after its redevelopment.<br />
Task 2:<br />
‘Some countries spend a lot of money to make bicycle usage easier. Why is this? Is
this the best solution? </p>
<p>I found this question difficult to pick what form of an essay it would be.
Could you please guide me? It wasnt the usual agree disagree or discuss. I felt as
though it was asking me to evaluate the reasons why and give my opinion. </p>
<p>Speaking:<br />
Part 1: Asked about seasons, shoes, leisure time.<br />
Part 2: a foreign language i’d like to learn, why, how, why would it be difficult?
<br />
Part 3: language and culture</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Yes, you do get a pencil and paper (which will also have your
login details) if you want to write something down. I’m not sure if
you’ll have enough time to first write the answers on the paper and then
enter as you won’t get the 10 min (instead you get 2 min to check your
answers) in the end.</p>

<p>they will give you a pencil and a sheet of paper for taking
notes. But you will not get any time to transfer answers (may be 1 or 2, not more
than that) as you only have 2 minutes towards the end of the test (which should be
used for checking the answers, not for transfering). You can use the sheet for
preparing points for essay writing, though. Good luck �</p>

Eating too much sugar is harmful for health. Some people think that it is
government responsibility to limit people’s sugar consumption while others
think that it is individuals responsibility to limit the amount of sugar they eat.
<p>Listening:<br />
Please practise multiple choice type questions that come in section 2 and 3. They
are bit confusing and you might loose your place in listening to the recording.
</p>
<p>Reading:<br />
Section 3 contains 8 to 9 passages about ‘Edmund Selous Bird Watching’.
Please try to leave more time for section 3 as it takes little bit more reading
than skimming and scanning.</p>

Writing Task 1<br />
A letter to a friend inviting him to visit your country.</p>
Government role is more important in minimization of sugar consumption or
individuals is of more opinion. Give opinion with examples.<br />
(I have rephrased the wording as I don’t exactly remember).</p>
<p>Liz, thank you so much for this courtesy. Secondly, please give your opinion on
length of writing tasks. I wrote quite lengthy piece of writing for both. Probably
around 300 for task 1 n 450 something for task 2. Does that influence marks?<br />
Further, please comment on my essay structure. I started with the role of
technological advancements and artificial intelligence in replacing older
techniques. Then i mentioned both roles that this essay will discuss both opinions
followed by a reasoned conclusion.<br />
To begin with, people of historical times prefer the usage of natural sweetners
that doesn’t have any deteriorating effects on human health. However,
nowadays corporations and scientists have came up many alternate solutions that are
ready to facilitate the unavailability of many natural ingredients.<br />
For instance, sugar composition involve some ingredients that are also used in
manufacturing of paints. Likewise soft drinks manufacturing include a number of
harmful chemicals that may lead to heart, sugar and various other physical
diseases.<br />
To minimize these health deteriorating effects, government can restrict the
production of these items. Further, price increase can also lead to decreased
demand and eventually decreased consumption.<br />
On the flip side, individuals’ intentions have a role to play too. That is,
if government play it’s part but individuals still show an inclination
towards increased consumption, issue will remain unresolved. Hence an awareness is
required regarding individuals role in abstaining the increased usage of sugar and
sugary products.<br />
To recapitulate, both the government and individuals roles are equally important in
restraining the consumer’s increasing sugar consumption. Either way, the
purpose can’t be achieved.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � I don’t normally comment on

writing, but I will in this case and I hope other people can benefit from it too.
Your task 1 should be between 160 and 190 words. You are being marked on selecting
and summarising main features. You are marked down if you present too much small
detail. Your task 2 should be about 280 words. Your essay should not contain any
padding. All sentence must be vital to the aim of the essay. It is about writing a
highly focused essay, not a long one. Also a long essay will show more mistakes to
the examiner. So, word count is important. </p>
<p>About your task 2, this is about who is responsible to control sugar
consumption. This is a common topic (is the government or individuals responsible
for public health). You have stated this is an opinion essay only which means the
essay contains your opinion and nothing more. But other people have reported this
as a discussion essay with an opinion. In which case, your whole essay discusses
both sides and with equal weight presents your opinion. </p>
<p>Ideas: Governments or individuals responsible to limit sugar consumption =
governments can introduce sugar taxes, introduce new laws and also run nationwide
promotion campaigns. Their influence is nationwide. Individuals, on the other hand,
should be responsible for their own choices which will influence all their family
members. </p>
<p>Once you have the main ideas planned, you need to decide your opinion and
present it clearly. You need to decide who is responsible and support your view.
You should also avoid using informal language such as “flip side”.</p>

4. Why is the life getting very hectic these days compared to earlier?</p>
<p>Listening – </p>
<p>Section 1 was super easy. Conversation b/w a man and woman looking for apartment
to rent.<br />
Section 2 & 3 was too fast. filled with MCQs. So too difficult for me to
follow.<br />
Section 4 – Academic talk about nanoparticles technology and its application.
Easier to follow. 1-3 words answer questions. </p>
<p>At the end of all sections, I was given 2 mins to check all answers.<br />
After each section was given 30 seconds to check answers of that section. I used
that time to start glancing thru questions of next section. </p>
<p>Reading –<br />
Passage 1 – Lengthy passage but easy language. Had 7 different advertisements
of gyms and art center. Had to match which information matches with which
advertisement. Needed attention to skim through all for possible answers.<br />
Passage 2 – about mouse and keyboard. 1 word and 3 words answer. Easy.<br />
Passage 3 – Academic language historical passage about Gwen John, her
personal life and work. matching which character from the passage did which
activity. As usual, this part needs extra attention and fast reading skill. </p>
<p>I completed Passage 1 & 2 in 27 mins and dedicated all time to passage 3.
Took last 4 minutes to check 40 answers once again. For last passage, I highlighted
the various names of people in the computer. was very useful to look back and
forth, as the passage gets very long and one can get lost searching for the
information they had already read. </p>
<p>Writing –<br />
Task 1 – You are planning to give a presentation in your large company. Write
a letter to your colleague asking for help.<br />
1. When and where the presentation will be<br />
2. what is the presentation about<br />
3. what would you like your colleague to do<br />
Task 2 – Some people believe that children should be given lessons on how to
manage money in the school. Do you agree or disagree. </p>
<p>I found the topic easy, fortunately. Not very complicated and straight forward.
</p>
<p>Hoping for the desired score.</p>

<p>Speaking: Questions were abt; are you working or studying, changes you want to
see in your organisation, About hometown. and followed by several other general
questions.</p>
<p>Cue card: Discuss the place whether indoor or outdoor wherein you prefer most to
study.</p>
<p>L1: Write a letter in response to advertisement you saw wrt project on
environment development.</p>
<p>L2: Private schools have undue advantage over other schools hence should be not
allowed</p>
<p>My Advise to others: First of all be confident, that will take you half way
towards success, and remaining half way can be achieved by practice and patience.
try to give computer based exams as its quick and also convenient.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � Your essay topic is all about the idea
that a hobby should be challenging rather than just relaxing or interesting. Your
idea would explain why a hobby does not need to be challenging and why a relaxing
hobby or an interesting hobby is a more valuable. Personally, I would have taken a
different approach. I would have said that some people do enjoy having a
challenging hobby because it helps them develop new skills and pushes them outside
their comfort zone. However, other people enjoy relaxing hobbies for health reasons
or interesting hobbies to give their life a broader interest beyond just work and
family. This is a simple Opinion Essay – you either have a one sided approach
or a more balanced approach ( a partial agreement).</p>

<p>Thanks Liz for this amazing website, it was really helpful I

must say. I sat for the Computer-Delivered GT test on the 7th of Feb.</p>
<p>Speaking:<br />
Part 1<br />
what’s your full name?<br />
what can I call you<br />
where are you from?<br />
Do you enjoy crowd?<br />
would want to live in a crowded environment? why?<br />
Part 2<br />
talk about an old man you know</p>
<p>who is this person<br />
how did you know this person?<br />
what do you like about this person?<br />
explain what is interesting about the person</p>
<p>Part 3<br />
Have you told your friends about this person<br />
is any similarities between the old and young generation?<br />
is there anything old people can learn from the young<br />
are there things that young people can teach the old<br />
do you think the aged will be willing to learn from the young<br />
these are the ones I can remember<br />
Listening<br />
I think the listening was easier than the paper based. a considerable number of
questions was to write one word while others were basically drag and drop.</p>
<p>Reading</p>
<p>Questions 1-27 were quite easy but 28-40 were hell difficult. I had finished 1-
27 in about 20 mins but it seemed 40 mins wasn’t enough time for 28-40. What
I noticed at the end of the test was that everyone had a different set of question
and everyone complained about the difficulty of their individual section 3.</p>
<p>Writing<br />
Task 1<br />
You are currently running a course and have a part-time job. You boss suggested
that you leave your course and work full time. Write a letter to your boss, in your
letter,<br />
-tell him/her your decision<br />
-the reason for your decision<br />
–</p>
<p>Task 2<br />
Recently, many people know a few of their neighbours<br />
-what is the cause of this problem?<br />
-what can be done to solve this problem<br />
Give reasons for your answer and any example from your own experience.<br />
*but the question did NOT state write at least 250 works*</p>
<p>I hope for the best result in all areas this time.</p>

<p>I appeared in my speaking exam on 5th February 2019 in

Academic Ielts. The questions that I recall (not in the exact words) are:<br />
Part 1<br />
Where are you situated in your city?<br />
How do you find your hometown? (i.e the advantages and disadvantages)<br />
Do you know many people where you live?<br />
Do you like to cook?<br />
Why do you think some people like to cook?<br />
Do you prefer home-cooked meal or eating outdoors? (I said home-cooked so then I
was asked:)<br />
When was the last time you ate a good home-cooked meal?<br />
Part 2:<br />
Tell about a family business you know.<br />
Cues:<br />
The family business you know<br />
who are their customers?<br />
(There was one more which I forget)<br />
Part 3<br />
Do you prefer working in a small scale business or a large scale business? (I
mentioned CPEC-China Pakistan Economic Corridor during my answer so the next
question was about that)<br />
What kind of businesses do you think it will help?<br />
Name a few of those businesses?</p>
<p>Tips:<br />
Read all the tips on the links and videos on this page regarding the speaking test
and try to remember them as you prepare for the test. Try to prepare and practice
as many topics as you can. Ask a teacher, relative or friend to test you. If not
then use a recording device e.g your phone to record your answers. Do not worry if
you make mistakes while preparing, you’ll be far more fluent when you are
talking to a person/examiner. Specially try to prepare recent topics and common
topics. During the test speak fluently and don’t stop, be confident and keep
talking until you complete your points or the examiner stops you. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Exam Date : Feb 2019<br />

Computer Delivered<br />
I was quite nervous to face the Computer Delivered IETLS (CDI). I was not sure what
to expect and now I am glad I choose the CDI. It was not as stressful as I expected
it to be. I just practised the few sample exams online.<br />
Following are the writing questions<br />
Letter –<br />
Your local council have asked locals suggestions in how keep the city cleaner<br />
>Explain what the council can do<br />
>What the people can do<br />
>tell how the community will benefit by keeping the city clean</p>
<p>Essay<br />
Some people believe that the museums and historic sites should be open for free for
children under 18.<br />
Do you agree or disagree</p>

<p>Dear Liz,<br />

Thanks for your support. I need a clarification as I purchased your advanced
task 2 lectures. If a question says “some people prefer ready-made foods to
homemade foods. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?” Am I supposed
to state which one I prefer while stating the advantages and disadvantages or I
have to write about the Advantages of ready-made foods then that of homemade meals
then in another paragraph discuss the problems associated with both? I am confused
and my exam is on Saturday.</p>

<p>There is only one question to answer: “Do the advantages

of ready-made foods outweigh the disadvantages? Of course you will compare them to
home cooked foods – that is part of how you will explain the advantages and
disadvantages.</p>

<p>Hello Liz,<br />

I gave my IELTS speaking in India .<br />
1st part ÷ Question about Work, Emails and Celebrities.<br />
2nd part (Cue card) ÷ A recent public development in your city ( park, gym or
health centre ).<br />
3rd part ÷ Questions about development of public and transport facility in your
city and sense of community in modern days.<br />
My interview went well and it lasted for 25 minutes.<br />
But during my cue card I pronounced a local word theek hai( its alright), and I did
not took a pause after saying on and continued speaking. Overall I’m pretty
confident, I want to know will that error have impact on my result?<br />
Thanks Liz</p>

<p>Thanks of sharing � The speaking test cannot last less than

11 mins and it cannot last more than 14 mins. These are rules which cannot be
altered by any examiner. It is possible you continued to chat after the recording
device was switched off, in which case nothing you said after that point would
count towards your score. Your score is decided on your overall performance, not on
one slip up.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � Your score for fluency isn’t based

on how many seconds you speak in part 2. It is an overall score and part 2 is just
a chance for you to show the ability to speak at length. Stopping 20 secs short
makes little difference. The examiner can tell the difference between someone who
stops talking because they ran out of ideas and someone who stopped speaking
because they do not have the capacity to speak more in English.</p>

<p>Hi Good morning Liz, Thanks for the materials in this

website.<br />
Academic – 29th Jan 2019 – CBT<br />
Sorry for the long post. When I tried searching CBT test tips, found only
misleading videos and post on net. so I am giving a detailed explanation regarding
my experience.<br />
Reading – Match headings my weakest type of question in section. Got that in
every section of my test. Pretty hard on computer as you can not mark important
points BUT you do have an option for highlighting which was not useful for me. so i
suggest students to practice on computer especially for this section. Any
suggestion to improve this questions type. Another trouble is you will to scroll
pages if the section is long, so be patient and do PRACTICE a lot in
computers.<br />
Listening – Pretty Easy section for me. Had trouble only in navigation
between parts of the sections. Practice typing questions directly into the
computer. Use KEYBOARD. Do not practice writing in books or papers as you will not
have any extra time to transfer answers. But after each part you will have 30
seconds to check the answers. This time is to check answers not to transfer.<br />
Writing- Part 1 – Pie Chart regarding employment of graduates in various
sectors and a table regarding their annual salary increase (%) from 2003 to
2004.<br />
Part 2 – Some parents think that Advertisements are misleading to children
while advertisers claim that they provide knowledge. Give your opinion.<br />
Speaking- Don’t Remember much.<br />
Part 2 – Talk about an Elderly Person – who is that pearson?<br />
What do you like about him?<br />
Where did you meet him.</p>
<p>Part 3 was based on the same topic. – It was like as if examiner was
picking questions from my previous answers. Is it normal? Would it affect my score?
Like what do elders need to learn from young people? next was do you think young
people should learn anything elders? I gave around 3 examples until examiner
stopped me. Based on Examples she asked further questions. I am really worried
about this.<br />
Praying to get the desired score.<br />
Good luck to everyone.</p>

<p>Test type: General<br />

Medium: Computer-delivered<br />
Date: 30th Jan 2019</p>
<p>Writing task 2<br />
Some people prefer to buy local products while others prefer international
products.<br />
<p>Writing task 1<br />
Your friend has asked you about the course details you recently did in a training
centre. Explain about the course details, why should your friend take this course,
how has the course benefited you.</p>
<p>Listening:<br />
Task 1: Fruit Picking Farm: Telephonic conversation. Fill in the blanks<br />
Task 2: Details of the festival arrangement. MCQ’s and Select what is true
for given options.<br />
Task 3: Professor and Student discussion on Houses made of Plastic. MCQs and select
what is true for given details.<br />
Task 4: Impact of birdsong on Humans. sentence completion</p>
<p>Experience: I have attempted IELTS four times till this date starting from last
year October. First two tests I took were paper-based in which it was significantly
difficult for me to complete the writing task which is the reason behind my
repetition. I was unable to write on paper and organize my ideas properly. Lately,
the computer-delivered test was introduced and I decided to attempt it. </p>
<p>Let me tell you, for the computer-delivered test you need to practice yourself
well on the computer. I could see candidates who were not aware of how to move on
to the next section in the listening test eventually missing some part of the test.
You must be aware of how to drag headings on the passages because they are given
right after the question instructions and could be considered as the bullets if you
do not read the instructions properly. It is far easy than the written mode. If by
chance your country has the facility of computer-delivered test do go for it.</p>

<p>25th Jan, 2019 – computer-delivered GT </p>

<p>Listening:<br />
Sec 1 – fill in the blanks with not more than one word<br />
Sec 2 – drag and drop(conversation about 2 people talking about children
football camp)<br />
Sec 3 – fill in the blanks (conversation about the remains of an area)<br />
Sec 4 – fill in the blanks, drag and drop (conversation about a course and
feedback on books)</p>
<p>Experience: It gets harder especially in sec 3 as the conversation ran pretty
quickly between the 2 persons talking – need to really focus as the answers
are not that explicit. Honestly, I prefer paper-delivered version for
Listening.</p>
<p>Reading:<br />
Sec 1 – Passage about Lemur (T,F or NG)<br />
Sec 2.1 – Mini passages about setting-up business (Fill in the blanks)<br />
Sec 2.2 – Mini passages about a race (Fill in the blanks)<br />
Sec 3 – long lengthy 11 passages about bears (match summary sentence against
the passage; T, F or NG)</p>
<p>Experience: I finished the first two sections within 5 minutes. I was
overwhelmed at first upon seeing section 3’s paragraphs. Took me 10 mins to
calm down and got my act together to work it out – quickly read thru the
summary sentences and skimmed through/ looked for matching key words in the
passages. In the end, I had 20 mins to check my answers for all sections.</p>
<p>Writing:<br />
Task 1 – Upcoming meeting with manager to discuss your work done last year.
Write a letter to him/ her about your work done past year, what you could have done
better, what sort of training do you want to take next year<br />
Task 2 – Some people say that children given pocket money every week will
have lesser money problems when they become adults. Do you agree or disagree?</p>
<p>Experience: Honestly, an hour is not enough (to plan, structure and write,
check). I spent almost 17 mins on Task 1 and stopped myself as I was hitting 300
words. For Task 2, many many thanks to your Advanced Ielts, I tweaked one of your
model essays (about children do paid work) with key words into my essay. Honestly,
I prefer computer-delivered format as I can type pretty fast – managed to
have last 10 mins to recheck both essays. Pray that everything is fine (I had two
nights dreaming that I did not write conclusion :-s)</p>
<p>Speaking:<br />
Part 1 – Questions related to where I live, what do I like about my area, on
portraits (although I replied with my views on portraits and drawings – he
didn’t stop me and I hope that’s fine)<br />
Part 2 – Describe a flower which is of importance to your country.<br />
Part 3 – Questions about living in country side</p>
<p>Experience: When I was presented with part 2 question, it got the better of me
with the timing set. Examiner gave me less than a min to write notes and read the
question paper, and was told that I need to talk about it straightaway. I was
talking about it and still had about 10-15 secs to go, he looked at me and smiled
and I just went on to talk and got stopped in the end – don’t think I
did a great job there. With part 3, I sort of lost my composure and said
“yup” at times when he was asking questions (my way of acknowledging
it) – hope “yup” is fine.</p>
<p>Hope the above helps. Sharing is caring. Cheers.</p>

your experience of the test as well. I hope more people do this. It really helps
other test takers. For the speaking test, “yup” is completely fine. It
is an informal speaking test and you can use informal language. Good luck with your
results �</p>

<p>Exam Dates : 18,19 Jan 2019</p>

<p>Speaking<br />
Part 1 :<br />
Name, work environment, bottled water v/s tap water<br />
Part 2 :<br />
An important decision you took with the help of someone else<br />
Part 3 :<br />
Important decision taken by teenagers, national leaders.<br />
Who should be considered while taking decisions.<br />
Should decisions be taken quickly</p>
<p>Writing<br />
Task 1 :<br />
A colleague is leaving your company and has invited you to a farewell party. But
you are unable to attend.<br />
Task 2 : Most people prefer ready to eat food than homemade food now. Advantages
and disadvantages</p>
<p>Listening :<br />
Hotel room booking conversation<br />
A map of playground – identify spots marked as A,B,C etc<br />
A conversation on project submission : MCQ<br />
Fill in the blanks : Textiles and art</p>
<p>Reading :<br />
Match ques with correct event : Exhibition, concerts<br />
Fill in the blanks : Dress code at work<br />
Flow chart completion : Problems at office<br />
True, false, not given ques : Real Tennis </p>
<p>My Experience :<br />
I found listening to be quite easy. I read the question in the time given and
focussed to spot the answer. However, the audio clipping was quite long and answers
were wide apart. So I read the next question as well, when I felt that I might
have missed the current ques.</p>
<p>Reading seemed fine too. Am just worried about the true, false, not given ones.
MA never confident about those.</p>
<p>Speaking : The interviewer was real friendly. However, I did have issues finding
ideas at that moment and struggled with Part 3. I would say practice all topics
given in this site. They are real helpful.</p>
<p>Writing : Time management was my issue in writing. I spent about 30 minutes on
the 1st task and hence was in a hurry during the last few minutes for Task 2. I
feel like I should have gone with Task 2 first.</p>
<p>Thanks to you Liz for the website. You are awesome. Hoping for a score good
enough to get me through immigration. Will keep you updated.</p>

Am not sure about that, as I haven’t checked academic reading. Liz might be
able to help.<br />
I always felt that listening was easy for me. Reading would come after that. What
confused me most in reading were the True, false, not given questions. However,
thankfully for the test I got them right.</p>
<p>Good luck with your test. Hope you get the desired score soon.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � You are not marked on your opinion. You
are marked on whether it is relevant, focused, connected to the task and whether it
is well developed. However, you missed the opportunity to write about influencing
consumer purchasing, effects on children and encouraging overspending which leads
to debt. These are all very strong points which are easy to extend.</p>

<p>Of course you can say “I don’t know the name in
English, but it’s tall, with large leaves, a thick trunk and wide reaching
branches offering lots of cool shade in summer.”. You are not marked on your
knowledge of plant names. You will be marked on your use of language. My sample
answer is high band score with excellent vocabulary.</p>

<p>27 Jan – General – CBT</p>

<p>Speaking Topic<br />
Part 1<br />
About where u live<br />
About drinks<br />
Part 2<br />
Topic for me<br />
Talk about a old person you have met?<br />
Topic for my fellow candidate<br />
Talk about sense of humour?(looks very uncommon topic)<br />
Topic for another fellow candidate<br />
Talk about something u bought and have not used?</p>
<p>Reading<br />
Last passage was tricky</p>
<p>They gave 11 paragrpahs, with 6 questions for paragraph identification 4 fill in
blanks 3 choose the correct option, which was mamoth amount of info and tricky part
was they wanted to trace paras containing info rather than naming the paragraph
which means u need to have complete overview of passage. I have wasted 10 min just
to have an overview and another 20 min finding info for the complete section 3. I
was lucky bcz i was quickly able to finish section 1 and 2 in 30 min.</p>
<p>My suggestion would be as quick as you can in section 1 and 2 which will help in
section 3. </p>
<p>Writing task -1<br />
Letter<br />
U work as part time and you are attending a course and your manager offered you
full time and asked to leave the course.<br />
Write a letter about your decision on job offer.</p>
<p>How u feel about the job ?( confused me whether about current part time or
future full time)<br />
Tell about u r decision<br />
Explain reasons of u r decision</p>
<p>Task – 2<br />
Some young people are leaving countryside to live in cities and towns, leaving only
old people in countryside?</p>
<p>What are the problems of this issue?<br />
What can be done to solve this problem?</p>
<p>Thesis:- while there are some drawbacks to issue, which can be a addressed by
young people leaving their counties.</p>
<p>Bp- tp -1:- old people are effected emotionally.<br />
in villages people are more connected with each other and support each other.<br />
If young people leave they are disconnected and there will be no one to support
them in later stages of their life.</p>
<p>Bp 2:- this can be solved by young people planning their vacations to their
original homes.<br />
Adults should plan their vacation to live with old people so that old people are
motivated by their children’s regular visits.<br />
Although life in city is fast paced and could not visit their home, they should
stay connected by regularly discussinf about their family well being and discussing
with them.</p>
<p>Final concl- there are issues, young peopel shoulf stay in contact with their
elderly family memebers.</p>
<p>Hi liz,<br />
Could you please suggest whether i had covered all parts of the question to get
high bands in task achievement?</p>
<p>Will post results in 6 days on followup reply.</p>
<p>Thanks for creating such a resourceful website and platform to improve
language.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � The main problems of young people

leaving the countryside and old people staying are: a) lack of support b) economy
in rural area. The idea of emotions is connected, but it the main point. It is
about lack of support – physical support & emotional support. The best
solution is for the government to offer incentives for young people to remain in
rural area by setting up employment schemes and benefits. The idea of just visiting
on vacation does not solve the problems, it only alleviates them slightly.<br />
So, your ideas are connected, but not strong. However, your score is based on main
things and even ideas are marked not purely on how strong they are but how you use
them.<br />

<p>1. Listening Tes<br />

I had my computer-based test today and the listening part was the most difficult.
Everyone says here that the actual listening test is easier as compared to the
material available in the Cambridge books. Moreover, I always scored in the range
of 7.5 to 8.5 in listening practice tests. My actual IELTS test score was 8 in the
first paper-based attempt. However, this paper was out of the world. They did not
follow any set pattern. There were around 20 MCQs and only 14 fill in the blank
questions which made it really tough to attempt. At least 2 times, the recording
quickly moved to the next part in an unprecedented way and I couldn’t catch 3
questions each time. I have practiced at least 50 listening test from Cambridge as
well as other websites but this was the hardest one. I felt like there are two
different bodies which are making paper-based and computer-based listening
test.</p>
<p>Speaking<br />
Firstly, my examiner interrupted me several times during the speaking test and here
interruption does not mean asking me another question but guiding me to the right
answer. For example, he asked me how does a routine effects children? I started
answering him and gave the example of my toddler son, he interrupted and asked me
to not to give the example of my son but talk about the children in general.
Another time, when he asked me something about students, I started giving him my
personal example, he interrupted again and asked me not to give any personal
example but talk about the topic in general. My confidence was so shattered that I
did not give an example in the following questions. I messed up everything due to
this interruption. Liz, is it normal? </p>
<p>Second, he gave me only 1 minute to answer my cue card and stopped me when I was
in the middle. I had prepared my answer according to 2 minutes and was planning to
use some rare vocabulary words but he did not allow me to do so. </p>
<p>I scored 7.5 last time in the speaking test but it seems that this time he
messed up everything.</p>
<p>Reading on the computer was manageable for me as I am a good reader.</p>
<p>Writing is the best part as you can type and edit them very easily.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � It is important to listen to the

question. If the question is about people in general, then your answer will be
about people in general. This is because the question is testing your ability to
speak in the third person plural – people. A low level English user struggles
to do this. A low level English user will immediately start talking about
themselves (I, my) because it is easiest. A low level English user will talk about
their friends and family but it is easiest. You need to show the examiner that you
do not need to do this. This is one aspect of the speaking test that you should
know about before entering the test room.</p>

speaking questions I still remembered:<br />
Part 1:<br />
Living Surroundings:<br />

Pets:<br />
Do you have pets?<br />

Which species are not suitable for being pets?<br />
Tea and Coffee:<br />
Do people from your country like to drink tea or coffee?</p>
<p>Part 2<br />
Describe an old man you met once</p>

other candidates can search for a good idea.</p>
<p>Part 3:<br />
Do you think old people and young people should get together?<br />
Do you think young people can learn things from the older generation?</p>
<p>Writing Task 2:<br />

<p>Hello,<br />
I took IELTS on 17 Jan 2019.<br />
Do I work or study?<br />
Where do I work/study?<br />
Is it the best place to work/study?<br />
What changes can they make?<br />
(part 1 was recurring)<br />
A time I had to ask someone for advice regarding a decision.<br />
Speaking part 3:<br />
questions about decisions of national importance and things like that (except for
part 2 and sometimes part 1, other parts tend not to recur, so don’t waste
time thinking about these, just prepare naturally)<br />
Writing (Although I’m sure they change it)<br />
task 1: 2 pie chart for 2 different years (percentages of attendees in training
center courses)<br />
task 2: some people think people are responsible for a solution to pollution made
by transportation and others think governments are. Discuss both views and give
your own opinion.<br />
Again, guys it would be pointless to prepare for these except for speaking part 2
and sometimes part 1. Just work on your English and IELTS techniques.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � You are right. You can’t predict

the topic you will get in IELTS speaking or writing. The most you can do is prepare
a variety of topics and make sure your IELTS exam techniques are up to scratch.
Your response in your IELTS speaking test should be natural and not memorised.</p>

Describe a time when you had a problem with a piece of equipment.<br />
what equipment it was<br />
what problem you had<br />
when you had this problem</p>
<p>explain what you did about this</p>
<p>Writing:<br />
Task 1: You are planning a party for your family and want to invite a
friend…</p>
<p>Task 2: People doing different jobs enjoy different amount of holiday time.</p>
<p>Should people have the same amount of holiday time? Give your opinion…</p>
<p>My essay was terrible! pretty basic. I wasn’t sure how make the structure.
In the Pharagraph 1 I wrote about why some people think that everyone should have
the same amount of holiday time even they doing different task, and the second I
talked about why some people deserve more days, such as supervisor or manager who
have more responsabilities and stress… the reasons and examples were really
poor!… but well… </p>
<p>Thanks for your help Liz! If my score are not good I´m going to practice more
essays</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing � Your task is to answer one question

only: “do you think people should get the same amount of holidays regardless
of the job they do?” Your whole essay answers that question. Your whole essay
is your opinion, your answer. If you need to learn more about writing essays, see

<p>Hi Nateep, </p>

<p>I took my exam also last Jan 19 also general ielts, we have the same
question..</p>
<p>In the essay task 2, I discuss it so briefly.<br />
I made it clear that its only my own opinion and knowledge I wrote in here that I
strongly agree the people must receive equal holidays regardless of their position.
I discusses why they deserve this. And then I make at the last part my conclusion.
</p>
<p>Im really nervous for the result</p>

<p>My friend were passing IELTS 3 times. After the first attempt,
he thought that he’d failed speaking because his examiner was really strict, even
when her talking was a bit aggressive according his feeling. As a result he has got
8.5 in speaking and was surprised. In contrast, the other attempt was pretty
unsuccessful even with nice and sweet examiner where he has got 6.5. </p>
<p>So I believe that no matter what kind of examiner you have just try to not focus
on them, focus on yourself and your performance �</p>
<p>My wife said she tried to imagine like she is talking with her grandmother so it
made her feel relaxed a bit �</p>
<p>Anyway, don’t worry hopefully you did well no matter what the examiner</p>
