Listening

Format of listening exam was exactly the same as it is in Cambridge book 6, second listening test.

1) Admission form of a child ( fill the gaps)

2) Fill the gaps for dates and activity for some city exhibition

3) Discussion of the advantages of changing the subject and suggestions - fill the gaps

4) Success at work and company strategy - 4 multiple choice questions and the rest were gaps fills

Reading

I felt it was a piece of cake but a bit lengthy (may be credit goes to my hard work - I had practice for 1.5 months religiously)

1) Match the sentences with small paragraphs.Text was about different events like marriage halls, car parking places

2) True, false, not given. It was a one page text about a car parking space

3) Match the sentence with given statements. Passage was about different levels of certificate, diploma courses.

4) The most lovely part was the last one which I am usually unhappy with.It was about NewZealand famous folk plant which they used to make their tradition skirts and baskets, how it transformed to new products, methods how they made it soft texture and how captain Cook exported it to Europe The task were true and false and fill the gaps and last one was to match the suitable heading

Speaking

Speaking was fairly good but I was very dehydrated and deadly cold in 3 hours after my exam. Sitting system wasn’t decent enough they let us sit in open and cold for 3 hours which made me bored to death. I believe the cold affected me.

My speaking was all about event’s chores I perform at home, family functions, marriages in my culture and one minute talk was on my favorite event.

Previously I sat for my IELTS exam in Dubai at British council and trust me it was dead hard in comparison to this exam.
