IELTS Results competition winners in July 2012

If you were to get Band 8 or 9 in your IELTS exam, how would that feel? Do I hear you say “Oh, that’s impossible…”? Quite the opposite! Today is that special day of the month when we prove again and again, that non-native English speakers can get such high scores in the exam. Yes, it takes some hard work – but what important thing in life doesn’t?
