IELTS in Sweden – September 2009 (Academic Module)

IELTS test in Sweden was described by F. (thanks a lot!), who shared the following questions from the Writing and Speaking tests.

Writing test

Writing Task 1

There were 3 pie charts about playing electronic games in Korea during the year of 2003.
- The first described in percent each age group were playing.
- The second showed how many percent of those who played were woman and how many were men.
- The third indicated how popular different kinds of categories of games were.

Simone says: This bit is important – do you remember our last homework with the 3 pie charts? This could be a new trend in the IELTS, so I suggest that you go back to it and practice. Click here to view the homework assignment with 3 charts.
